Florida to require mental health classes in public schools starting in sixth grade by Ana Ceballos7/18/2019 This article was first seen on www.sun-sentinel.com Public schools will be required to teach students at least five hours of mental health instruction beginning in 6th grade, under a mandate approved by the state Board of Education Wednesday and hailed by Florida's top educator as a “life saver.” Education officials proposed the change to the statewide school curriculum in June, following discussions with First Lady Casey DeSantis, who has made the mental health issue one of her top priorities. The new requirement will require students to take courses aimed at helping them to identify the signs and symptoms of mental illness, find resources if they are battling with depression or other issues, and teach them how to help peers who are struggling with a mental health disorder.

What is Alkaline Water? You may have heard various health claims about alkaline water. Some say it can help slow the aging process, regulate your body’s pH level, and prevent chronic diseases like cancer. But what exactly is alkaline water, and why all the hype? The “alkaline” in alkaline water refers to its pH level. The pH level is a number that measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0 to 14. For example, something with a pH of 1 would be very acidic and something with a pH of 13 would be very alkaline. Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. Because of this, some advocates of alkaline water believe it can neutralize the acid in your body. Normal drinking water generally has a neutral pH of 7. Alkaline water typically has a pH of 8 or 9. However, pH alone isn’t enough to impart substantial alkalinity to water. Alkaline water must also contain alkaline minerals and negative oxidation reduction potential (ORP). ORP is the ability of water to act as a pro- or antioxidant. The more negative the ORP value, the more antioxidizing it is. Hemp has been around since the beginning of time, yet the presence of CBD products hasn’t struck health and wellness markets until recently. Since the early 1900s, CBD legality has been cloudy waters. Until 2018, the law didn’t recognize the primary difference between hemp and marijuana. We’re talking CBD vs THC.

Yale (www.creditcards.com)7/2/2019 Half a million animals die due to cosmetic testing each year — and that’s just in one industry alone. Fortunately, many are starting to take action against these cruel practices. The European Union, for example, banned the use of animal testing over 15 years ago. In 2013, they also banned any imported products that use animal testing in their procedures. Though our country has yet to enact a similar ban, California legislators did pass the Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Act just last year. Another 250 American companies have also banded together to endorse the Humane Cosmetics Act, which would end animal testing on cosmetics products across the nation. But until these and further laws are enacted, the responsibility lies on consumers to research, purchase and utilize brands that steer clear of animal testing and other harmful practices — as well as avoid those who do use them. In this guide, we’re showing you exactly how to do that and how to do so frugally, by taking advantage of credit cards rewards and store loyalty programs. It’s a love-hate relationship, working out.
