There is another easy (and lazy) way to use L. sakei (e.g., Lanto Sinus), for sinusitis or when sinus symptoms are starting. Only when needed, of course.
L. sakei is a beneficial bacteria found naturally in the sinuses. I've already written about the 3 treatment methods to use refrigerated L. sakei, such as Lanto Sinus: 1) Mix with bottled (or sterile) water and dab with a cotton swab or clean finger about 1/2" into the nostrils, or 2) Just swish the powder in the mouth and swallow (for minor symptoms), or 3) For a maximum boost, can add a little bit to a person's regular saline rinse (using bottled or sterile water).
Well, there's another 4th method. A lazy way, because I like doing what's the easiest. I generally do this when some sinus symptoms start developing - no need to wait for a full-blown sinus infection. Also, I've only done this with Lanto Sinus.
4) Mix about 1/4 tsp (white spoon) with a little bit of bottled water in a small bowl and mix it with the spoon. Then, using the little spoon, I scoop a little bit of the mixture and bring it up to my nostril where I sort of toss it into the nostril and snort it in. Do the same with the other nostril. Repeat once or twice.
Can swish the remaining mixture in the mouth and swallow. Do this once a day until sinuses feel better or OK. That's it.
I started using this method after experimenting on my own. Self-experimentation! It's not in the "how to use" Lanto Sinus guidelines. But it works for me.
It is still unknown whether probiotic supplementation would help these conditions because the studies are not yet done. But researchers do suggest eating an anti-inflammatory diet - which means a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes (includes beans), fish, seeds, nuts, and olive oil. This kind of diet has lots of fiber to feed and support beneficial bacteria.
Once again, a chemical banned in Europe (due to possible health harms) is allowed to be used in the US. The chemical TPO, which is used in nail polish gels, is viewed as "carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction". In other words, could cause cancer and impact fertility.
Millions of pounds of pesticides are used each year in the US: on farms, in buildings and homes, on lawns, in pet flea and tick products - basically everywhere. And so the pesticides eventually wind up in us - from the foods we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe (when pesticides drift during applications or when used indoors), and the treated lawns and ground we walk on.
Many of us absolutely desire and need a caffeine containing beverage such as coffee or tea in the morning, and find it difficult to function without it. So, findings from a recent 
Weight loss drugs (e.g., Ozempic) are very, very popular these days. But what happens when you stop taking the prescription drugs? A recent 
As people age, they frequently start wondering what they can do to prevent memory and thinking problems, and especially dementia. The good news is that several large studies found that there are a number of lifestyle changes that one can do to have a healthier (memory! thinking!) brain in later years. Even if you are already in your 60s and 70s.
Going forward, will we even know what is going on in the atmosphere regarding carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases? Will there be any data collected and scientific evidence regarding climate change? As you may have heard, all climate change research and knowledge is being eliminated and erased. The words climate change and greenhouse gases are not to be spoken or written according to the US government.
After the recent incredibly hot and steamy week, it is nice to read something positive about nature. A recent review of studies found that taking a walk in a forest is good for us in a number of ways: reduces stress, improves our mood, and good for our physical health (e.g., lowers blood pressure, benefits immune system). It shouldn't be a surprise that walking in nature is soothing.
