Happy Weekend 👋

Do you (or did you previously) suffer from migraines? If you’re a woman, it’s an extra risk factor for stroke, so that’s something you may want to be aware of.

In today’s email we cover walking and various kinds of pain (including back pain), easier ways to do key stretches that are just as effective, and a four-step plan for solving stress.

Do you have days when your face is looking and feeling a bit tired and old, and could use some perking up, perhaps winding back the clock 20 years or so?
Today’s sponsor Medik8 has just the thing: it’s a 20% vitamin C serum, in a stabilized C-tetra form with restorative phyto-exosomes, with just 1 week being sufficient for 77% improved skin brightening, tightening, and evening-out.
If you’d like to know what other 10almonds readers think of this product having tried it, then we will mention that after the last ad we ran for Medik8, one 10almonds reader (who already used it) wrote to say:
❝That is my wonderful vitamin C ointment that you are advertising!❞
So, if you’d like to see for yourself what’s so wonderful about it, you can get yours here 😎

One-Minute Book Review

The Stress Solution: The 4 Steps To A Calmer, Happier, Healthier You – by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee

You may be wondering: is this a rehash of his bestselling and, if we’re honest, occasionally rehashed work, The Four Pillar Plan?

And the answer is: no, not this time!

This time, the four steps are a matter tending to our:

  1. Purpose

  2. Relationships

  3. Body

  4. Mind

As such, his usual Four Pillar Plan (eat, move, sleep, relax) is contained within the final two steps in this book (body and mind), plus each of those also has extra things this time, and the other two, purpose and relationships, are entirely new material.

Within each of his four steps, he gives 6 things to do to favor them, for a total of 24 things.

If you are living a stressed-out life, you may be wondering where you will find the time and energy to do 24 things, but in many cases they are things you are probably doing badly already and just need a little guidance on how to do better, and the others are things whereby if one makes time for them, somehow, anyhow, they will pay dividends in terms of the freed-up energy and capability that having done them will yield.

The style is Dr. Chatterjee’s trademarked personal-yet-professional, relaxed without shying away from heavy topics, and a focus on communication over technicality.

Bottom line: if you’d like to become a calmer, happier, healthier you, this book can help!
