The tradition of Dragon Boat Racing is an annual Chinese rite commemorating the idealistic poet and performer Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the third century B.C. to protest against his emperor’s policies. The locals raced in their boats in an attempt to rescue the poet. To prevent fish and water dragons from eating his body, the locals beat their drums and splashed their paddles. This was the beginning of Dragon Boat Racing.

The water tiger — the animal being ushered in with this Lunar New Year — is less aggressive and more open-minded than the typical tiger, according to Chinese astrology. … According to superstition, a person born in a particular year takes on the traits of that year’s animal.

CHINESE culture suggests that the Tiger is the guardian of children. Chinese infants and toddlers wear shoes with tigers on them to protect them against evil spirits.

The Tiger is the third of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar

2022 Is The Year Of The Tiger And The Year Of LifeWater

2022

Is The Year Of The Tiger

And

The Year Of LifeWater

We have entered the year of the tiger,
this brings with it having courage to take risks and go on adventures.

Not to mention finding the zest in life again and bringing more generosity to ourselves and those around us.

Last year changed our reality and ground ourselves in it.
And before that, 2020 was all about survival.

But this year brings big changes so don’t be scared if your life is suddenly uprooted, but don’t fall back into fear and survival,
this is the time to take a leap of faith!

With all these changes jumping out through the year,
our stress levels may shoot through the roof and
this could be a big factor in our health throughout 2022.

Taking this year to go back to the earth,
four natural foods can help us flourish from the inside out.

These are:

Ginger,

a popular root that can reduce pain, help you look younger,
reduce nausea and may help protect against cancer.

Siberian ginseng,

which can improve athletic performance and the ability to do work
and can also be used to boost the immune system,
prevent colds, and increase appetite.

Vitamin C

which is important to help protect your memory and thinking as you age.
On top of this it may reduce your risk of chronic disease
as well as boost immunity.

And lastly, Curcumin,

the main active ingredient in turmeric.
Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory compound
and can increase the antioxidant capacity of the body.

The above is just a few of the health benefits of the four superfoods above.

And these superfoods

can all be found in the new health drink hitting the market this year;

MXQ LifeWater!

Haven’t heard of it?

Soon you will as everyone is talking about it.

Whether it’s helping you to get up in the morning without caffeine, or helping you power through your workout,

LifeWater

will help you get there as you transform during the year of the tiger.

The tiger is related to rule (masculine, active) energy and likes to do things by their own means.

Taking this energy with the power of LifeWater

can help you have the energy and immunity to build a great life this year.

Looking deeper into

MXQ Life water,

you can see what truly makes this drink different to others on the market.

Nobel Prize nominee

Jerry Thornthwaite’s NutraNaNoSphere (NNS) technology

is something never seen before.

The NNS is  over 500 times smaller than a human red blood cell
and wraps the active ingredients in each bottle of LifeWater to be able bypass the stomach and be delivered directly into the bloodstream and be delivered throughout the body.

This new technology caught the attention of
Dr. Ma Xiaoqiu (Famous chinese author, singer and humanitarian)
who put her investment behind this new discovery,

and Rob Davidson (creator of CURE Pharma)
to become the current CEO of MXQ Lifewater.

On top of this, LifeWater comes in convenient droppers
so you can add this technology to your favorite food and drinks
and still keep the same benefits!

LifeWater

is pulling the attention of many around the world
and proving to be the next great health drink.

In the year of 2022
when the tiger reigns and it’s a time of transformation,
this may be the perfect time to transform your health and wellness.

Starting from the inside out,

let’s make 2022 a year that changes our lives.

Back to Wellness
