When you sleep your body repairs and replenishes hormones. During long, deep periods of rest, certain chemicals are activated that help normalize blood pressure and heart rate. As Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, ten-time #1 NYTimes Best Selling author, stated, “Poor quality sleep has become all too common in our stressed-out, super-busy, hyper-caffeinated, modern world.” Follow his “Five Tips For better Sleep” in the MOH October 2018 issue.

Quality music with certain frequencies has a very beneficial effect on the heart and other organs. Play an instrument, sing, and/or listen to beautiful quality music. Teach this to your children at an early age. Children who play an instrument have better right/left brain development.
