Krill Oil vs Fish Oil: Which is Better For Your Health?

Fish oil and krill oil have been a mainstay in the health and wellness conversation for years now for one primary reason: 

Omega-3 fatty acids. 

There’s a great reason for all the hype. 

Omega-3s have been clinically proven to deliver incredible health benefits such as: 

Heart health: Omega-3s have been clinically proven to support heart health in various ways.*1 

Eye health: Omega-3 is one of the structural components of the retina in the eyes, and supplementation can support overall eye health.*2 

Bone and joint health: Omega-3s can boost the amount of calcium in bones, which leads to improved bone strength.3 They are also beneficial in reducing joint discomfort and stiffness.* 

Mental health support: High levels of Omega-3s are associated with improved mood and cognitive function.*4 

Sleep quality: Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, may contribute to better sleep quality.*

So, if krill oil and fish oil have Omega-3s, you’ll get the same health benefits from either, right? 

Not exactly. 

It turns out there are several key differences between krill oil and fish oil—backed by science—that provide the answer to the question: 

Which is better for you: Krill or fish oil? 

When you look at the facts, there is really no comparison.

Here are four reasons krill oil is best for your health.

1. Omega-3 Health Benefits

Fish oil is renowned for its high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). As listed in the section above, these fats are crucial for providing many health benefits. 

Krill oil also contains EPA and DHA. However, unlike fish oil, the Omega-3s in krill oil are bound to phospholipids, which studies suggest may enhance the body’s absorption of these fatty acids.

Both supplements effectively deliver Omega-3 benefits, but krill oil may offer an edge in bioavailability.* This means that the same amount of Omega-3s might be more effectively used by the body when sourced from krill oil, potentially increasing its health benefits per gram.*

Advantage: Krill oil.

2. Additional Health Benefits

Beyond Omega-3s, only one type of oil has additional advantages. 

Fish oil is a well-established supplement often used for various conditions linked to Omega-3 deficiencies, but the benefits it provides are all related to Omega-3s. 

Krill oil, on the other hand, contains astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant that fish oil lacks. Astaxanthin offers additional antioxidant properties, protecting cells from damage and supporting your health.*

The astaxanthin in krill oil provides a unique bonus outside Omega-3s, offering more comprehensive health benefits.*

Advantage: Krill oil.

3. Absorption

The form of Omega-3s plays a crucial role in how well they are absorbed and utilized by the body. 

Fish oil’s Omega-3s are primarily in triglyceride form, which can be less efficiently absorbed compared to the phospholipid form found in krill oil. 

Phospholipids align more closely with the human body’s cell structure, facilitating a more straightforward absorption pathway. 

This enhanced absorption means that krill oil might offer more Omega-3 benefits at lower dosages, making it an appealing option for those who prefer to take fewer supplements.*

Advantage: Krill oil.

4. Purity and Sourcing

Stonehenge Health Dynamic Krill Oil

Purity is a significant concern when it comes to fish oil—and fish in general—as fish from the ocean can contain mercury and other environmental toxins. The purity of fish largely depends on the fish source, the food chain from which it comes, and the waters from which it is harvested. 

Fish oil is primarily derived from capelin, sand eel, anchovy, horse mackerel, cod liver, pilchard, and menhaden. These fish can be caught in many places worldwide, often in polluted oceans. 

In contrast, krill oil typically shows lower levels of contaminants for a few reasons: 

• Krill have short lifespans, giving them less time to ingest toxins

• Krill are on the bottom of the food chain, giving them less chance to ingest toxins

• Krill live in the Antarctic Ocean, which contains the most pristine waters on Earth

With Dynamic Krill Oil from Stonehenge Health, you can actually see the exact source of your krill oil bottle by scanning the QR code on the label of each bottle and entering the lot number  on our website. 

>> Click here for more info on our commitment to transparent sourcing

Note: Both krill and fish oil products should be certified by third-party organizations to ensure they are free from harmful levels of contaminants and that they contain the advertised levels of Omega-3s.

Advantage: Krill oil. 

Both krill oil and fish oil offer valuable health benefits, particularly in delivering Omega-3 fatty acids essential for maintaining various aspects of health.*

However, krill oil has a clear advantage due to better absorption, lack of harmful contaminants, and additional antioxidant benefits from astaxanthin.*

If you’re considering integrating krill oil into your health regimen, Dynamic Krill Oil from  Stonehenge Health is a top-rated option. 

Our product contains the highest-quality ingredients, and we ensure that each batch is sustainably harvested, transparently sourced, and rigorously tested for purity and potency. This aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility and high-quality health supplements.

10 Healthy Ways to Deal With Physical Limitations

cheerful fit senior man running at the beach in the morning

Physical limitations… 

They challenge us our entire lives. 

When you’re a kid, it takes a while until you become coordinated enough to pour a glass of milk from the gallon jug, tie your shoelaces, become strong enough to open a car door or be tall enough to ride the roller coaster. 

When you get older, it can become harder to do the things you’re used to doing easily, like picking up a bag, climbing a ladder, opening a jar, or sometimes just getting out of a chair. 

If you’ve experienced any of these types of physical limitations, how do you handle it? 

You probably don’t throw a tantrum like a child, but it can be frustrating nonetheless. 

The great thing about this situation is that you can use your experience and wisdom to deal with these physical limitations in a positive and healthy manner. 

There are two different approaches to adding longevity to the things you love to do: mental and physical. 

Let’s dive into some practical strategies of how you can use both.

Mental Strategies for Coping with Physical Limitations

1. Adopt a Growth Mindset

View each limitation not as a definitive barrier but as a challenge to overcome or adapt to. This mindset encourages resilience and creativity in finding new ways to enjoy life’s pleasures.

2. Focus on What You Can Do

Rather than dwelling on lost abilities, concentrate on activities and hobbies within your reach. This positive focus enhances your quality of life and can lead to discovering new passions.

3. Practice Gratitude

Regularly acknowledging and appreciating the aspects of your health and life that are thriving can significantly improve mental well-being. Gratitude fosters a more joyful and satisfying life, regardless of physical constraints.

4. Seek Support

Connecting with others navigating similar experiences can be incredibly validating and empowering. Whether through community groups, online forums, or conversations with friends, shared experiences can lighten your emotional load.

6. Prioritize Nutrition

7. Adopt Mind-Body Practices

Techniques such as meditation, tai chi, or deep breathing exercises can help manage stress and pain, improving physical and mental health.

8. Regular Check-ups

Stay on top of your health with regular medical check-ups. Early detection of any issues can lead to better management of your physical limitations.

9. Modify Your Environment

Adapt your living space to suit your needs better. Simple changes, like removing trip hazards, installing grab bars, and ensuring good lighting, can make a big difference in your independence and safety.

10. Integrating Supplements for Nerve Health

While adopting the above strategies, it’s also wise to consider how dietary supplements can support your body’s needs.

Facing physical limitations as we age is a universal experience, but it doesn’t have to define your life.

And with the support of supplements like Dynamic Nerve, you’re not just getting older; you’re thriving.

Discovering the Magical Kitchen Within: A Path to Unconditional Love and Self-Care

Friends holding heart hands
Friends holding heart hands

The Magical Kitchen is a fascinating concept from the book “The Mastery of Love” by Don Miguel Ruiz.

The Mastery of Love

It’s a great book if you haven’t read it. 

But this lesson is so profound we had to share it with you today. 

In a world that often teaches us to seek validation and love from external sources, the Magical Kitchen serves as a profound reminder of the boundless love that resides within us all. 

This story challenges our perceptions of love and dependency and shines a light on the path to a fulfilling life rooted in self-love and generosity.

Ready to have your mind blown? Check this out.

What is the Magical Kitchen?

Middle age couple smiling confident pouring food on frying pan at kitchen

Imagine possessing a magical kitchen, abundant in every imaginable delicacy, offering unconditional nourishment to anyone who enters your home. The quantity and quality of your meals are endless. 

If somebody came to your door and offered you a slice of pizza on the condition that you give up your magical kitchen and do what they say, you would think they were crazy. You wouldn’t do it. 

Your magical kitchen is the inexhaustible source of love within your heart—a love so vast and self-sustaining that you don’t need anything else. This concept is the essence of self-love and independence, knowing that you have everything you need within yourself.

But if you’re like many people, you’re not always bursting with self-love. Often, you may seek out love from others. 

And this leads to a problem…

Starvation Leads to Dependency

With delicious pizza. Watches TV show. Senior man with grey hair and beard indoors.

Now, imagine a situation in which you don’t have a magical kitchen. In fact, you’re starving. 

If that same person offers you that same slice of pizza under the same conditions, you’ll take it because you need it. 

The slice of pizza is a metaphor for love or affection, showing how deprivation can lead us into dependency and loss of freedom. 

When we lack love for ourselves (no magical kitchen), we become vulnerable to manipulation, willing to compromise our values for the mere promise of affection from others. This desperation not only diminishes our self-worth but also entraps us in cycles of seeking external validation to fill an internal void.

The Path to Unconditional Love

The lesson from the magical kitchen is clear: 

When you cultivate a rich, unconditional love for yourself, you become free from the need for external validation

Like the magical kitchen, your heart is a source of infinite love. Embracing this truth empowers you to share your love generously without fear of depletion. 

As Ruiz says, “What makes you happy is love coming out of you.” 

This generosity of spirit enriches your life and attracts genuine connections and reciprocated love.

Self-Care as an Act of Love

Senior woman meditating in lotus position at home

In nurturing this inner abundance, self-care becomes an essential practice. 

Caring for your mind, body, and spirit through healthy habits, mindfulness, and nourishment is an act of love that keeps the kitchen well-stocked. 

Taking care of yourself is not just a routine chore; it’s a way to keep your Magical Kitchen stocked.

Integrating high-quality supplements like Dynamic Krill Oil is a testament to self-love. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and nutrients, Dynamic Krill Oil supports your heart, brain, and overall health, ensuring you remain vibrant and capable of sharing your love with the world.*

The Generosity of the Heart

Stonehenge Health Dynamic Krill Oil

The magical kitchen within us teaches that love, when freely given and received, has the power to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. It encourages us to look inward for fulfillment, to care for ourselves with the same generosity we extend to others, and to understand that in the wealth of our hearts lies the true source of connection and joy.

Let us remember that every act of self-care, including the nourishment we provide our bodies, reflects our self-love. 

By choosing supplements like Dynamic Krill Oil, we invest in our physical health and affirm the abundance of love within us, ready to be shared unconditionally. 

Explore the path to unconditional love and discover how taking care of yourself is the first step in truly and freely loving others.

mature woman in striped pajama brushing hair while taking care of herself, standing in front of mirror, after waking up in early morning, having make-up

What’s the first word you think of when somebody says “routine?”

Do you think of negative words like boring, dull, same old…

Or do you associate it with more positive words like planning, consistency, reliable…

How you think and feel about your daily routine can dramatically affect the rest of your life. If you dread your routine, you’re likely to go off course. If you look forward to it, you’re more likely to stick to it and achieve your desired outcomes. 

Your daily routine is particularly important when it comes to your health: 

How do some individuals maintain vitality and stay active much longer than others? 

It’s less about genetics or diet and more about the power of a consistent daily routine. 

Sticking to a well-structured routine has profound benefits for your overall well-being, such as: 

1. Enhanced mental health: Regular routines reduce anxiety and depression, creating a sense of stability and predictability in your life.

2. Improved sleep quality: A consistent evening routine helps signal to your body when it’s time to wind down, leading to better sleep patterns.

3. Increased productivity: A set routine makes it more likely that you’ll prioritize tasks effectively, reducing procrastination and maximizing productivity.

4. Better stress management: Routine activities, especially those that involve relaxation or mindfulness, can significantly lower stress levels.

5. Healthier eating habits: Planning meals as part of your routine can improve nutritional intake and prevent impulsive, unhealthy eating.

6. Strengthened immune system: Regular exercise and sufficient sleep, both components of a good routine, can boost your immune function.

If you’re like most of us, that sounds like a pretty good deal! 

And the best part is creating (and sticking to) a routine isn’t that hard. 

On the contrary, with a few tips and some guidance, developing a routine that improves your overall health can be super rewarding and fun.

 Are you ready to take advantage of all the benefits of a healthy routine?

Here are 6 keys to developing the perfect routine to help you win the day:

1. Start With Clarity (Mindful Mornings)

Middle age woman doing yoga exercise sitting on bed at bedroom

Begin your day by setting a clear intention. Dedicate five minutes to meditation, focusing on your breath to center your thoughts. Follow this with five minutes of journaling, writing down what you’re grateful for and your top three priorities for the day. This practice boosts mood and productivity and aligns your actions with your personal goals.

2. Hydrate and Nourish (The First Hour)

Start with two glasses of water within the first 30 minutes of waking to rehydrate and kickstart your digestion. Follow this with a balanced breakfast with a good mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. For example, you could have a spinach and feta omelet with a side of whole-grain toast, setting a nutritious tone for the day.

3. Movement (Energizing Beginnings)

Incorporate at least 15 minutes of morning exercise. This could be a brisk walk, a series of yoga poses tailored to awaken your body or a short bodyweight workout circuit. Exercise boosts circulation, enhances mood, and sets a positive energy tone for your day.

4. Dress for Success (The Confidence Uniform)

Choose appropriate outfits for your day’s activities and ones that make you feel confident and positive. This doesn’t mean dressing formally but rather intentionally selecting clothes that reflect your personal style and the energy you wish to carry into your day.

5. Sunshine and Fresh Air (The Natural Reset)

woman hugging her grey-haired husband in park

Spend at least 10 minutes outdoors in natural light. Morning sunlight helps regulate your body’s clock, improves mood, and can contribute to vitamin D intake. This could be a short walk, a moment with your morning beverage on the balcony, or simply standing in a sunny spot.

6. Enjoy a Mindful Moment (Savoring the Start)

Conclude your morning routine with a practice that offers a sense of reward. Brew a cup of quality coffee or tea, and take the time to really savor it. This isn’t just about the beverage—it’s about taking a moment to pause and appreciate the start of your day before diving into your tasks.

When it comes to harnessing the power of natural supplements for your well-being, turmeric has long been a popular choice in the wellness arena. 

However, not all turmeric supplements are created equal… 

Understanding the differences can significantly impact their effectiveness in your health regimen. 

Not everyone knows that curcumin, a compound that has been the subject of extensive research and praise, is the key component in turmeric and is responsible for all its health benefits. 

To understand if your turmeric supplement is delivering the benefits you want, you first need to understand curcumin.

The Curcumin Connection

Golden Milk, made with turmeric and other spices

Dating back over 4,000 years, turmeric has a long-celebrated history in Asia as both a spice for food and its traditional medicine value. Turmeric is one of the most thoroughly researched plants in existence today.

The real magic lies in curcumin, the compound that gives turmeric its vibrant color and is credited with most of its health benefits. 

Curcumin, in the right serving, can support your body in many ways, such as: 

• Your immunity*

• Your digestion*

• Your brain health*

• Your joint health*

But because the “right serving” of curcumin won’t come from your spice cabinet, you’ll need to find a high-quality supplement that delivers the health benefits you want.

Dietary Dilemmas

Harvest turmeric in the morning

Some might wonder if they can skip supplements altogether and simply add more turmeric spice to their diet

While turmeric as a spice is beneficial for overall health and adds a unique flavor profile to dishes, the concentration of curcumin you consume through food is minimal.  

The turmeric you find in a spice jar at the grocery store contains only about 2-5% curcumin by weight.

This is where the distinction between merely consuming turmeric and taking a turmeric supplement becomes crucial.

To truly benefit from curcumin’s potential, we recommend supplementing with a concentrated form. 

However, this route has some pitfalls you must watch out for…

The Supplement Spectrum

Turmeric capsule

A common misconception among consumers is that all turmeric supplements provide the necessary amount of curcumin to make a significant impact. 

Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Many supplements on the market do not contain sufficient curcuminoids, the active group of compounds in curcumin. 

This means those sub-par turmeric supplements may not offer the benefits you’re seeking.

To obtain the health benefits you’re looking for, the turmeric supplement formula should ideally contain at least 1,500 mg of turmeric curcumin infused with standardized 95% curcuminoids. A serving at this level can be highly effective in promoting overall health.

And there’s a quick and easy solution to ensuring you’re getting the recommended amount for maximum benefit…

Label Literacy

woman hand taking turmeric pill, girl hand holding turmeric powder in capsule or curcumin herb medicine with a glass of water, treatment for acid reflux problem

This brings us to the importance of label literacy when selecting a turmeric supplement. 

We strongly encourage you to scrutinize the labels of your supplements closely. 

Look for products that specify the amount of curcuminoids they contain. A supplement with a higher concentration of these compounds is more likely to deliver the health benefits associated with turmeric.

If the Supplement Facts label on your turmeric supplement doesn’t contain an extract standardized to 95% curcuminoids, you may want to seek another product. 

Here’s an example from our Dynamic Turmeric:

Let’s look at some lessons you can learn from our grandparents. 

Grandparents’ experience and wisdom can be a treasure trove gleaned from a lifetime of unique experiences. 

Here are 11 lessons you can learn from them:

1. Resilience in Adversity

Grandparents often faced wars, recessions, and personal trials, demonstrating a remarkable ability to persevere. Their resilience teaches us the importance of enduring and overcoming hardships, showcasing that strength is not just physical but also emotional and mental.

2. The Value of Family

No technology can replace the warmth of family gatherings or the support of loved ones. Grandparents show how deep roots and strong bonds are crucial for thriving, emphasizing that the family can be a constant source of love and support in a world full of fleeting connections.

3. Financial Prudence

In an era of instant gratification, grandparents’ thrifty ways and wisdom on financial stewardship remind us of the importance of saving for the future. Their frugal habits and stories of economic resilience can inspire a more mindful approach to spending and investing.

4. Patience Is a Virtue

In today’s fast-paced world, grandparents exemplify patience, reminding everyone of the value of taking time to make decisions and appreciate the moment. This patience, honed over lifetimes, teaches us that some of the best things in life come to those who wait.

5. Simplicity Brings Joy

Grandparents find happiness in life’s simple pleasures, teaching that contentment doesn’t require complexity or extravagance. Their joy in the mundane—like a shared meal or a story told under the stars—reminds us that happiness often lies in simplicity.

6. Mastering Practical Skills

From gardening to knitting, grandparents’ hobbies and skills are lessons in self-reliance and creativity. These activities not only provide personal satisfaction but also equip us with the tools to contribute uniquely to our communities.

7. Understanding Our Roots

Grandparents connect people to their history and heritage through stories and traditions, offering a sense of identity and belonging. This connection enriches our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world, grounding us as we navigate the future.

8. Wisdom Over Knowledge

Beyond book learning, grandparents impart life lessons on love, loss, and life’s mysteries, guiding personal journeys. Their wisdom, distilled from years of experience, offers a compass in times of moral and emotional turmoil.

9. Never Stop Learning

Their curiosity and adaptability show that it’s never too late to learn something new or adapt to changes. This lifelong commitment to growth encourages us to remain open-minded and agile, regardless of our age.

10. Leave a Legacy

Grandparents inspire consideration of the mark one wants to leave on the world and how to contribute to a lasting legacy. Their lives and stories encourage us to think beyond our lifespan, pondering how our actions and choices impact future generations.

The longevity and vitality of many grandparents underscore the adage that health is indeed wealth. Their routines and attitudes towards health—encompassing physical, mental, and emotional well-being—teach us to cherish and prioritize our health as the foundation for a fulfilling life.

Speaking of health, taking care of one’s body is vital to embrace these lessons and enjoy life fully.

Living life to the fullest means embracing every moment, exploring new passions, and enjoying the activities you love. 

However, nerve discomfort can be an uninvited guest for many, dulling these joyful experiences and turning everyday pleasures into challenges.

The downsides of nerve discomfort play out in everyday life: 

Struggling to tie your shoes…

Letting the garden get overgrown with weeds…

A hard time getting a restful night’s sleep…

Inability to do hobbies or activities… 

Forgoing family activities…

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Here’s how you can reclaim your life and not let nerve discomfort hold you back from doing the things you love.

Understanding Nerve Discomfort

painful back and nerve issues concept

Nerve discomfort can be complex and characterized by discomfort, tingling, or numbness. It often results from damaged nerves. 

Most people experience these sensations in their hands and feet; however, the effects can sometimes be felt elsewhere. 

Various factors, including medical conditions, injuries, age, or nutritional deficiencies, can cause nerve discomfort. The results can be frustrating and debilitating, negatively affecting your quality of life. 

For example, something as mild as a bedsheet dragging across your foot can lead to serious discomfort and restless sleep. 

Yet, understanding and identifying the cause is the first step toward managing this condition, empowering you to take action and find relief.

Embracing a Holistic Approach

Managing nerve discomfort requires a holistic approach that addresses the root causes while alleviating symptoms. 

Here are 6 strategies to help you live fully, despite nerve discomfort:

1. Stay Active

Exercise might seem daunting, but it’s crucial for managing nerve discomfort. 

Physical activity increases blood flow to the nerves, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. 

Start with gentle exercises like walking or swimming and gradually increase intensity as your comfort allows.

2. Nutrition is Key

A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can support nerve health. To nourish your nervous system, focus on foods high in antioxidants and B vitamins. 

Remember, what you eat can significantly impact how you feel.

3. Mindfulness and Relaxation

Techniques such as meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises can reduce stress, which often exacerbates nerve discomfort. 

By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can manage stress levels and potentially lessen discomfort intensity.

4. Stay Connected

Sharing your experiences with friends, family, or support groups can provide emotional relief and valuable insights into managing your condition.

You’re not alone, and building a support network can make a world of difference.

5. Seek Professional Guidance

Imagine unlocking a secret ingredient that powers up your brain, supports your heart, and keeps your liver in top shape. 

Often flying under the radar, choline is the unsung hero in the quest for optimal health, as it performs critical roles that keep your body and mind in peak condition. 

Choline is your go-to ally whether you’re aiming to boost your cognitive prowess, ensure your heart beats strong, or keep your liver clean. 

Let’s explore the wonders of choline together.

What is Choline?

Smiling elderly female patient holding pill and glass of water. Senior mature woman taking daily dose of prescribed meds against depression, mental disorders, flu, insomnia, pain. Elderly treatment

Choline is a nutrient that’s vital for many aspects of your health. 

It’s a building block that your body needs to perform a bunch of important tasks. Think of it as a helper that does a few critical jobs for your: 

• Brain

• Liver

• Heart

• Muscles

To help you visualize the effect of choline, imagine your body as a city with constant construction projects. 

Choline is like the building materials needed at the construction sites to build successful projects. 

Just like a city needs these materials to build and repair buildings, your body needs choline to build and maintain important parts of your body, especially your brain.

Choline helps throughout the body. Let’s take a look at all the places you’ll find benefits…

7 Benefits Choline Has On Your Health

Group of happy mature people laughing while enjoying in card game at the table.

If you don’t get enough choline, your body may experience a variety of issues because choline is involved in so many critical functions. When you get the ideal amount, choline works wonders for your body and mind. 

1. Helps your brain work better: Choline is like food for your brain. It helps with learning and remembering things, for a better mood, and controlling muscles.2 It’s important to keep your brain sharp as you get older, and choline can help.

2. Keeps your liver healthy: Choline helps stop fat from piling up in your liver, which can help your liver stay clean and work smoothly.

3. Boosts your metabolism: Choline is involved in how your body uses fats, which helps keep your metabolism going strong. This means your body can use food better and keep you feeling energetic.

4. Good for your heart: Choline helps manage certain fat levels in your blood, supporting a healthy heart.

5. Supports muscle movement: Choline is important for muscle control, making sure they can move and respond the way you want them to, which is crucial for everything from walking to lifting things.

6. Keeps cell walls strong: Choline helps build the walls of your cells, protecting and organizing cell contents properly. It’s like ensuring each cell has a strong house to live in.

7. Can make you feel happier: Choline, which is involved in making brain chemicals that control mood, might help improve your mood. 2 Research suggests that Choline helps you keep spirits high and maintain a balanced mood.

Your liver produces a small amount of choline, but not enough. Since your body doesn’t make sufficient choline for optimal health, eating foods rich in choline or taking choline supplements is a good way to ensure you’re getting enough.

9 Ways To Get Choline

cheese nuts eggs dairy

Choline can be found in a variety of foods, both animal and plant-based, as well as supplements. Here are 9 different sources that can help you meet your daily choline requirements:

1. Eggs: The yolk of an egg is particularly high in choline. One large egg can provide about 147 mg of choline, making eggs one of the best sources of this nutrient.

2. Meat: Various types of meat, including beef, pork, and chicken, contain good amounts of choline. For example, a 3-ounce serving of chicken breast provides about 72 mg of choline.

3. Fish: Fatty fish like salmon are good sources of choline. A 3-ounce serving of salmon can offer about 56 mg of choline.

4. Dairy: Milk, yogurt, and cheese contain choline in smaller amounts. For instance, a cup of milk has about 38 mg of choline.

5. Legumes: Certain legumes (beans), such as kidney beans and soybeans, are good plant-based sources of choline. A cup of cooked soybeans provides about 107 mg of choline.

6. Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds, especially peanuts and sunflower seeds, contain choline. A quarter cup of peanuts provides about 24 mg of choline.

7. Vegetables: Cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower are decent sources of choline. For example, a cup of cooked Brussels sprouts has about 63 mg of choline.

8. Whole grains: Quinoa, wheat germ, and brown rice provide small amounts of choline as well.

Unplug and Recharge: Discovering the 8 Transformative Powers of Forest Bathing

Loving Senior Couple Holding Hands Hiking In Woodland Countryside Together
Loving Senior Couple Holding Hands Hiking In Woodland Countryside Together

How many thoughts do you have in your mind, right this moment? 

It’s kind of hard to tell, isn’t it? 

But I’ll bet it’s a lot. Potentially more than you’d like.

Screens—from TVs to laptops to smartphones—give our brains an incredible amount of data to process, but because of that constant flow of information, it can be hard to slow down and actually process your thoughts. 

The ability to pay full attention to your thoughts in the moment (with no judgment or planning) is called mindfulness. 

Mindfulness has a slew of benefits for your mental health, but it’s a skill you must practice and learn. Because of the perceived ‘hard work’ of being mindful, you might put it off or make it your next New Year’s resolution. 

But what if you had an easy way to tap into mindfulness

This is where forest bathing comes into play.

What is forest bathing?

older woman meditating in the forest. forest bathing

Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-yoku in Japanese, is the practice of spending time in a forest or natural wooded area to enhance your health, wellness, and happiness

This practice involves immersing yourself in the forest environment, engaging all five senses to absorb the surroundings fully.

The practice does not mandate specific exercises or activities, such as hiking or jogging. Instead, forest bathing emphasizes simply being in nature and engaging in mindful observation of the natural world. 

The concept of forest bathing was developed in Japan during the 1980s as a response to the increasing stress and health issues faced by the population due to rapid urbanization and technological advances.

8 Benefits of Forest Bathing

older woman forest bathing

If you’re on the fence about leaving your phone behind for a walk in the woods, consider these 8 benefits:

1. Reduced stress: Being in a forest environment can significantly lower cortisol levels, a stress hormone, thereby reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

2. Improved mood: Forest bathing has been shown to decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety, leading to improvements in mood and overall emotional well-being.

4. Improved concentration and cognitive function: Forests’ natural settings can enhance mental function and concentration by offering a restorative environment that contrasts with the overstimulating urban environments many people experience daily.

5. Enhanced immune function: Exposure to forests boosts the production of natural killer (NK) cells, a type of white blood cell that helps fight off infections by destroying infected cells.

6. Increased energy: Individuals often report feeling more energetic after spending time in nature, which can be attributed to the therapeutic effects of being in a natural setting.

7. Improved sleep: Regular engagement in forest bathing has been associated with improvements in sleep quality, likely due to its stress-reducing effects.

8. Connection with nature: Forest bathing fosters a deeper connection with the natural world, which can enhance feelings of happiness and elicit a sense of belonging to the larger ecosystem.

9. Enhanced creativity: Forest environments can help rejuvenate the mind and improve creativity by reducing mental fatigue and stress.

You can almost hear the birds chirping and wind rustling in the leaves now…

And there’s another way you can put your forest bathing experience over the top. 

Supercharging your forest bathing experience

Stonehenge Health Dynamic Mushrooms

To practice mindfulness, you need a certain level of control over your brain, which can be somewhat difficult, especially if you haven’t practiced it before or are unprepared. 

Getting into nature is a great way to ‘cleanse the palette’ of your mind, but mushrooms can nourish your brain with powerful nootropics to support your brain’s journey into mindfulness. 

Dynamic Mushrooms uses a sophisticated nootropic formulation designed to help support healthy cognitive function while also helping to support healthy stress response to daily challenges.*

Our unique blend of mushrooms, including Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Chaga, Shiitake, and Maitake, is the perfect complement to forest bathing and is ideal for daily healthy cognitive function.
