THE SURPRISING BENEFITS OF DIGITAL PHOTO ORGANIZING

Alex Brzozowski May 15, 2020

It’s estimated that over 1.2 trillion digital photos were taken in 2017, and, of those, only a tiny fraction were ever organized by the photographer. With increasing numbers of snapshots floating about on cloud drives and in phone memory, should we even bother with photo organizing? We think so!

Here are some things to consider while deciding whether or not to get your photos in order.

CAULIFLOWER RICE RECIPE – VEGAN, KETO AND PALEO FRIENDLY

Dr. Stephanie Zgraggen May 8, 2020

Cauliflower is the new darling of the healthy foods world! We are seeing it in chips, as “mashed” potatoes and even as pizza crust! I have to admit… I have not tried the cauliflower pizza crust. But, I have tried it as rice and I love it! When our own illustrious health expert, Dr. Stephanie Zgraggen sent over a cauliflower rice recipe this month I was super happy!

Cauliflower has long been one of my favorite healthy snacks. Remember last month’s Dr. Z recipe for Zucchini Hummus? Cauliflower is one of my fav dippers to eat with that hummus! It is chock-full of health benefits.

YES! CREATIVE PLAY IS GOOD FOR ADULTS TOO!

Dr. Minette Riordan April 24, 2020

Did you know that there is now science-backed evidence and research showing that creative play can reduce stress, ease anxiety and even reduce cortisol? All that coloring you did as a kid was really good for you!

There was a study done a few years ago that showed that 45 minutes of art-making and creative play significantly reduced cortisol levels in 75% of the study participants. Not only that, but they also said, “they found the art-making session to be relaxing, enjoyable, helpful for learning about new aspects of self, and experienced a feeling a sense of flow/losing themselves in the work.” Why should this matter to you? Because high levels of cortisol have been linked to depression, anxiety and an inability to lose weight among other health risks.
