Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Five Reasons To Use Black Seed Oil
Introduction
I’m sure you’ve heard about black seed oil by now, but in case you haven’t, it is an amazing remedy to use for many different conditions. In fact, there are more than 100 phytochemicals in this spice and herb that can help you with your health. Black seeds have been used for over 2000 years for medical use and this oil has been found to be extremely effective. There are plenty of uses for black seed oil, here are five of them:
Body Inflammation
You may be wondering how black seed oil benefits you. Well, it has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which can help with allergies, asthma and other issues like eczema. The oil also contains anti-bacterial properties that can help clear up skin conditions such as acne or psoriasis.
The main reason why black seed oil is so effective is due to its thymoquinone content—a substance that reduces inflammatory responses by interacting with calcium channels on cells from different tissues (i.e., nerve cells).
Lowers Blood Sugar
Black seed oil can help lower blood sugar, which is great news for people with diabetes and those who struggle with weight loss or appetite control.
Black seed oil contains thymoquinone, a compound that has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels by as much as 50% in human trials. Thymoquinone lowers blood sugar by inhibiting the activity of alpha-glucosidase enzymes in the intestines, which prevent absorption of carbohydrates into your bloodstream. Black seed oil also helps regulate glucose levels by speeding up the rate at which your liver produces glucose after eating food containing carbs (like bread). This makes it easier to control your appetite and lose weight without having to starve yourself!
Provides Cholesterol Support
For those with high cholesterol or other heart health concerns, black seed oil can help. Black seed oil has long been used for its medicinal properties and ability to improve overall health. One of the benefits of using black seed oil is that it contains omega 3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health. These fats can help lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation in the body. What’s more, these nutrients have been shown to also reduce the risk of heart disease (1).
Black seed oil is a great anti-inflammatory that can help with nausea and vomiting. It is also a good source of antioxidants, which are essential for the body’s defense against free radicals. In fact, it has been shown to provide several benefits for the digestive system including reducing inflammation in the small intestine and improving food absorption by strengthening the mucous membranes in your intestines.
Black seed oil can be used as an alternative treatment option for people who suffer from nausea or vomiting due to an illness such as cancer or AIDS, or even as a side effect from chemotherapy treatments. It has also been found effective at treating skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
