(Dr. Edward F. Group) Like any part of your body, the brain can become stressed and unwell. It can also stay healthy, sharp, and clear. Your brain is an incredible machine if you think about it. That 3-pound organ contains billions of cells with trillions of connections — creating your thoughts, impulses, memories, and movements. If you nurture your brain for mental clarity, you can keep a clear, active mind. Simple exercises can help. Certain herbs can pep up your brain, as well.

How You Train Your Mind Will Either Make or Break You
(Justin Deschamps) In our world, many people suffer.

A Sense of Oneness Leads to Greater Life Satisfaction, Research Shows
(Nikki Harper) As humans have become more ecologically and environmentally aware over the last century or so, we’ve come to understand that a small change in any particular ecosystem can have important – and unexpected – consequences for another.
