The Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges reports on natural ways to slow down the process of aging. How you eat, move and rest daily has a dramatic effect on your vitality and lifespan. There are 5 essential habits which can enhance your longevity and well-being including eating a balanced diet, regular exercise, giving priority to quality sleep, getting natural light, and nurturing social connections. Avoidance of cigarettes and limiting your alcohol consumption can also extend your lifespan. You should eat primarily whole foods and avoid processed foods, meats, and refined sugars. A Mediterranean diet which is high in antioxidants and healthy fats can add a decade or more to your life. Good anti-aging foods which scavenge free radicals and nurture longevity include berries, green tea, extra-virgin olive oil, nuts and seeds. Processed carbohydrates should be replaced with whole grains to increase your vitamin and mineral intake. You should eat fruit, vegetables, seeds, whole grains and legumes daily to get adequate fiber. Intermittent fasting of 12-16 hours can nurture cell repair and improve memory and mood while helping fight dementia. And always remember people have evolved to move around a lot and are not meant to be sedentary. Brain, immune, and cardiovascular health are supported by staying active with cognitive decline decreased by up to 90%. Your daily activity should include a combination of aerobic, resistance and mind-body exercises to help nurture good bone density, muscle strength, hormonal balance, and your mental acuity. Long-term health also depends on deep sleep for rejuvenation. Irritability, anxiety, and stress can be increased by chronic sleep deprivation of less than 6 hours. If you adhere to healthy habits such as balanced eating, regular exercise, stress management, and fasting you can significantly influence your health and longevity, while decreasing your risk of chronic diseases and improving your quality of life. >>>AANMC

A report released by the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Telecommunications Union (ITU) says investments in digital health interventions, such as telemedicine, mobile messaging and chatbots, can help save millions of lives from noncommunicable diseases over the next ten years. This investment could also help prevent about 7 million acute health events and hospitalizations over the next decade. WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said "The future of health is digital. But to make this vision a reality, we need both resources and collaboration." ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin has said "The digital revolution has the potential to unleash a health revolution." Every year noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases, cause over 70% of deaths worldwide. NCD risk is significantly increased by four major risk factors including an unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyles, abuse of alcohol, and tobacco use. These risk factors increase NCD risk due to responses in our bodies that lead to obesity, increased glucose and cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Digital health tools can help people worldwide understand what their modifiable health risk factors are while encouraging them to develop habits which are associated with better health.>>>WHO
The World Health Organization reports almost a quarter of adolescent girls, or about 19 million, will be targets of physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence by the time they are 20 years old.
Dr Pascale Allotey, Director of WHO’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research Department, has said “Intimate partner violence is starting alarmingly early for millions of young women around the world.” There are potential catastrophic impacts on the health, educational advancement, furture relationships and prospects over a lifetime from partner violence. Victims of partner violence are more likely to experience depression, anxiety disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, injuries, unplanned pregnancies and other emotional and physical problems. Better support services and early prevention initiatives are needed worldwide to confront this serious problem.>>>WHO
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR) have together launched new guidance, entitled “Mental health, human rights and legislation: guidance and practice." The WHO has reported human rights abuses and coercive practices in mental health care, which are supported by present legislation and policies, remain too common. It has been commented that "Involuntary hospitalization and treatment, unsanitary living conditions and physical, psychological, and emotional abuse characterize many mental health services across the world." Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who is the WHO Director-General, has said “This new guidance will support countries to make the changes needed to provide quality mental health care that assists a person’s recovery and respects their dignity." >>>WHO
An inquiry in New Zealand which uncovered 200,000 children and vulnerable adults tortured in psychiatric and behavioral institutions has mirrored similar abuses which have been uncovered in the United States. The New Zealand inquiry revealed horrible abuses in psychiatric, behavioral, and disability institutions have been going on for decades. A nightmare of people being tortured under the guise of mental health care has surfaced. The abuses have included chemical restraints, sexual assault, electric shocks, medical experimentation, starvation, beatings, and sterilization. NZ Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has told survivors "The State was supposed to care for you – but instead many of you were subjected to the most horrendous physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse. People in positions of authority who you should have been able to trust – failed you in the worst possible way. When you tried to speak up, those same people turned a blind eye, they covered it up, and they prevented you from seeking justice for far too long. You are heard and you are believed.”>>>CCHR
The Guardian has reported in a comparison internationally of 10 peer nations the health system in the United States ranks dead last. In this report released by the Commonwealth Fund it has been disclosed that Americans pay almost twice as much for healthcare and yet the system does not perform well on health equity, access to care and on outcomes. There is a human toll associated with these outcomes on a daily basis says Dr Joseph Betancourt, the president of the Commonwealth Fund. He says "It’s time we finally build a health system that delivers quality affordable healthcare for all Americans." The Commonwealth Fund is a foundation which has a focus on healthcare research and policy.>>>The Guardian
RT has reported that from Moscow's perspective the "cold peace' period ended in 2014, when the US and its allies openly gave support to an armed coup in Kiev with the promotion of a new government which was anti-Russian. Moscow has since been calling for the breaking apart of Western hegemony with an interest in developing new alliances to create a new age of multipolarity. President Putin believes this will be more just and stable than the past US-dominated arrangement. It is imperative to understand Russia's perspectives on the war with Ukraine if there is to be any hope for a negotiated settlement. Arrogant refusals to work towards negotiating a peaceful settlement to the war with Russia and instead demand more and more investments aimed towards a costly military victory are naive. President Putin has altered Russia's nuclear doctrine to give clearer considerations to what an existential threat to Russia's survival will be and clearly bombing the Russian mainland and Moscow will be considered such a threat which could lead to an apocalyptic nuclear war which will spread across Euerope and internationally with no winners.>>>RT
Pravda has reported Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed making changes to conditions for the use of nuclear weapons in "Fundamentals of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence." Putin has said "In the updated version of the document, aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, is proposed to be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation." This revised version of this document also states Moscow may immediately begin using nuclear weapons when reliable information is received about a "massive launch of air and space attack weapons" and their crossing the Russian border. Russia also reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against both Russia or Belarus as a member of the Union State.>>>Pravda
In the aftermath of coordinated attacks targeting the Hezbollah militant group, via hundreds of electronic pagers belonging to Hezbollah members blowing up at the same time, the UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, has encouraged calm. She has commented "The developments today mark an extremely concerning escalation in what is an already unacceptably volatile context." Ms. Hennis-Plasschaert has reminded everyone involved that civilians are not a target and they must at all times be protected. She is concerned a wider conflagration could occur if this situation isn't handeled carefully. >>>UN News
RT News has reported French President Emmanuel Macron envisions reform of the present “unjust” world order so that humans will be able to coexist in a more peaceful manner. Macron outlined this vision as part of the international ‘Imagining Peace’ gathering which was held in Paris. Macron commented "We must be imaginative enough to think about the peace of tomorrow, a peace in Europe in a new form." He went on to state in order for the European continent to become more stable, everyone should acknowledge that it is "neither quite the EU, nor resolutely NATO." Macron also commented "We will have to think of a new form of organization for Europe and rethink our relationship with Russia" when the Ukraine conflict is over. It is Macron's position that the global system which was created after World War II was "incomplete and unjust.">>>RT News
