If you’ve been following diet trends over the past few years, you’ve probably heard about all the different types of “Fasting Diets”. Nowadays, there are dozens – everything from alternate day fasting, to two-day-per-week fasting, to fasting 20 hours per day (Yep - every day!)

But this article isn’t about allergies per se either. So, what do horseracing and allergies have in common? The nose!
The “O” in OWN.
Unfortunately, our busy and often stress-filled lives upset the vital rhythm of our breath. Being mindfully aware of our need to breathe fully, frequently throughout the day and certainly during periods of stress or anxiety, can soothe our souls and reduce the negative consequences of stress.
