Late night beach walk. Had a ponder, reflection, and meditation. I made a new friend (at the right of the photo) who was interested in my meditation. .

Tranquility. After work I went for a walk and found this quiet spot. I sat here pondering for what felt like an eternity. Ideas flowed. Calmness set in. Serenity. .

Evening beach walk. Although I’m far away from the fires, you can see the effect of the smoke surrounding Sydney.
The second photo you can barely see the cruise ship which would normally be clearly visible. .

Herbal medicine plays a major role in the management of chronic disease. Celebrating Herbal Medicine Week. 🌱
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Platelet activation and aggregation play a central role in hemostasis and thrombosis. Herbal medicines have been traditionally used in the management of CVD and can play a role in modifying CVD progression, particularly in platelet function, and have the potential of altering platelet function tests, as well as some coagulation parameters. Herbal medicines, such as feverfew, garlic, ginger, ginseng, motherwort, St John's wort, and willow bark, were found to reduce platelet aggregation. In vitro studies show promise in the reduction of platelet aggregation for Andrographis, feverfew, garlic, ginger, Ginkgo, ginseng, hawthorn, horse chestnut, and turmeric. In addition, cranberry, danshen, dong quai, Ginkgo, ginseng, green tea, and St John's wort were found to have potential interactions with warfarin. Furthermore, St John's wort interacted with clopidogrel and danshen with aspirin. Therefore, repeat testing of platelet function and coagulation studies, particularly for patients on warfarin therapy, may be required after exclusion of herbal medicines that could have possibly affected initial test results.

Tocotrienols are part of the Vitamin E family of nutrients. Compared to standard vitamin E tocopherols, tocotrienols have double bonds in their chemical structure allowing them to move through the phospholipid membrane of the cell into the cell itself exerting its effects. Therefore, tocotrienols work both intracellularly and extracellularly. Tocotrienols have more antioxidant activity than tocopherols. Very exciting, huh!
💫
Tocotrienols are antioxidant, reduce free radicals formed in the body, reduce free radical damage to body cells, anti-inflammatory, and maintain and support healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular system. .

I was very lucky to have the beach to myself after work today. Went for a long beach walk and meditation. Enjoy your day. 🌊🌞
