I second this approach.  

I recommend trying Qigong.  Here's one video demonstrating some basic movements to stimulate pressure points to help alleviate a variety of ailments.
Not sure if any of these will help, but it's worth a shot.

I haven’t tried them yet but they should be fruiting for the first time this year.

Hope you get some winecaps this year!  They are pretty tasty when fresh, but I find they don't keep very well in the fridge.  

My guess was that it had something to do with our digestive enzymes, but not sure on that.  

If I recall correctly, Paul Stamets happened to be sauteing wine caps in the video when he mentioned the "3-day rule".  Unsure if it applied to all mushrooms or winecaps in particular.  I like to eat some variety of mushroom every day, but wondering if it might not be a bad idea to give it a rest once in a while.

Happy Friday!

Estas Tonne and Reka Fodor were made for one another.  I love how they interact together.

A few of my favorites....I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Hi Ann - I'm happy to hear you find them useful!    :-)

I happened upon this video on the T-doors that I found pretty interesting   ...it seems as though they also appear in pottery handles, too (shown at approximately the 9:30 mark).  

How weird is that?

David Chandler, my Tai Chi instructor, made this video demonstrating a variety of hand dances that encourage & promote dexterity, coordination and neural pathway development.  I find them to be a fun challenge and try to practice them a little every day.  They're also a great way to spend time if you're stuck in traffic, on a plane/train or waiting in the doctors office.

The one at 5:35 totally blows my mind

For me it would've been around 1996 (30 years - yikes!).  Wasn't bad back then, 2 hour flight to Florida. Had a good flight and a great time.

Too much stress nowadays (layovers/connecting flights, delays, etc.).   I'd much rather take my time and drive, if at all possible.
