my vegan Digestive nightmare + what it finally took to fix my gut (I have h pylori)

I've spent the last 2 years in agony, with unexplained and seemingly irrational GI symptoms. My symptoms also became progressively worse over time.  (I'll list my symptoms below). Unable to pinpoint what was causing my symptoms on my own, I consulted with a specialist who told me to remove coffee, wheat, corn, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts. I was also prescribed a probiotic that contained ox bile and bone broth. I took neither, not because I was vegan, but because it was too "woo woo" for me.  (I'...

While there are all kinds of sweet breads that include seeds and nuts, its great to have a savory option that includes these nutritious and tasty ingredients too.

5 Tips To Help You Avoid Dehydration

If you think that our body is made up only entirely of blood and muscles, you’re wrong. Our bodies are almost made up entirely of water, so staying hydrated all the time is important. Without enough water in our body system, we wouldn’t be able to function well in our daily activities, most especially the intensive ones. We lose water every day through natural body functions such as sweating and urination. That is why it’s important that we refill our bodies with water every day with mo...

Maneckji Seth Agiary – Parsi Imprint on Mumbai

Anyone who has lived in or grown up in Mumbai would know at least one Parsi for sure. And if new, you will wonder about the fuss around Bun-Maska (Bun-Butter), Bhurji-Pav (Scrambled eggs-Bread) and Irani Chai (Persian Tea). That is the extent to which the Parsis are part of the cosmopolitan weave of this city. The history of Bombay and the Parsis almost run parallel, with the community making their presence felt since the mid-17th century. Their contribution to the island’s early development, an...

Ruzbeh Bacha: In Conversation with CEO of CityFALCON

What is the business and how did it start? Back in 2014 I was investing and found it impossible to easily gather data on the market. I knew there were solutions for this, but they were not cheap. They still aren’t. Few people can afford up to £2000 a month to trade or invest their own portfolios. I wanted to change that, and so CityFALCON was born. I learned more about coding and knew automation and APIs were the keys to bringing down costs and still tackling all the content that was out t...

Maybelline Color Sensational Ultimatte Slim Lipstick is a new slim matte lipstick that’s launching for Spring 2021 in ten shade selections.

Tips For Caring For Valuable Family Jewelry

Duchess Kate Middleton is wearing what, for many, is one of the most iconic jewelry pieces known to humankind: Princess Diana’s engagement ring – a stunning 12-carat Ceylon sapphire and diamond ring that was actually a catalog item. Interestingly enough, Prince Charles gifted Camilla Parker Bowles what many would deem a far more ‘meaningful’ gift – a family heirloom that had once belonged to one of Charles’s favorite relatives. This is a perfect instance of the different emotions...

Serious Question. Are They Selling Us Old Stock? Here’s How to Tell!

Who hauled skincare yesterday? I know I did! I took advantage of the Huda Beauty’s Sale as some of the Wish Skincare I wanted to try was on sale, also, I grabbed the eye balm I wanted from beautybio.com and of course, I had to grab dome stuff from Dr Denese because the deals were so damn good!

How to Better Manage Your Life Admin

In your job, you probably have plenty of administrative work — managerial and secretarial tasks like filing papers and answering emails. Unengaging and tedious, this admin is likely your least favorite part of your job, and yet is necessary to keep the rest of your responsibilities, and the business itself, going.  While you may not have thought about it before, you’re also laden with this kind of work at home, too.

Expansion Through Constriction

Some people assume that when constraints are imposed upon their lives, they have fewer possibilities, and therefore life becomes more limiting. This isn’t actually true though. In each case you probably still have a ridiculously high number of possible choices, way more than you could seriously consider, let alone act upon. So for all practical purposes, you’re still dealing with infinities. If you have infinite possibilities and eliminate 50%, 90%, or even 99% of your options, you stil...
