By only using our tag there is a 20% levy on your neoxag earnings.

Where do you fit into the City of Neoxian?

A lot of people come here and get sucked into the friendliness of our server. Some people want to take on roles in the city, others just want to chat and have a good time. There's nothing wrong with either!

What we haven't seen many of though is those wanting to create new roles and responsibilities for themselves in Neoxian City.
Our Dragonmaster Neoxian is always open to new ideas.

Do you have a special talent? Let us see! Join our Discord channel.
We encourage growth here. What benefits us, also benefits you.

We have already started a School, A Luanti server, games, and so much more.

What can you bring to us?

           HEALTHY ATTITUDES FOR A BETTER LIFE

Healthy living is not just about drugs or hospital visits, it starts with the attitudes and daily choices we consciously adopt.
As the year comes to an end and a new year approaches, it is an important time to reflect on our health, just as we reflect on finances, habits, and relationships.
These principles are not new. However, we often forget to look after our bodies until illness reminds us. This serves as a timely medical and lifestyle reminder.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

• Exercise regularly:
  it does not have to be strenuous. At least 20–30 minutes of moderate exercise, 4–5 days per week, is recommended.
  Brisk walking, light jogging, stretching, cycling, and dancing are effective.
  Regular exercise reduces the risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and depression.

MENTAL & EMOTIONAL HEALTH

Maintain a growth mindset — challenges are lessons, not failures.
Take regular walks; physical activity improves mood and cognitive function.
Learn to manage stress calmly to prevent burnout, anxiety, and hypertension.
Be kind to yourself; chronic self-criticism negatively affects mental health.
Seek help early when overwhelmed too.

NUTRITION

• Eat a balanced diet:
  carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables. Increase intake of fruits and vegetables (at least 5 servings daily).
  Reduce consumption of processed foods, junk food, excess salt, and sugary drinks.
  Healthy nutrition lowers the risk of non-communicable diseases.

HYDRATION

Drink water regularly; do not wait until you are thirsty. Poor hydration increases the risk of dehydration, kidney injury, constipation, and headaches.
Aim for adequate daily fluid intake, adjusting for activity level and climate.

PREVENTIVE HEALTH & MONITORING

• Check your blood pressure regularly:

Non-hypertensive individuals: monthly or bi-monthly and daily or at least weekly for already diagnosed hypertensive patients.

• Monitor blood sugar if diabetic or at risk:

Maintain a healthy weight and know your BMI.
Go for routine medical checkups; prevention is cheaper and safer than treatment.

REST & SLEEP

Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep nightly. Poor sleep increases the risk of hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and mental health disorders.

AVOID HARMFUL HABITS

• Avoid smoking and substance abuse.
• Limit alcohol intake.
• Avoid self-medication and misuse of antibiotics.

Happy New Year in Advance

Curation Station!

Our curators regularly scour the whole of Neoxian to find the best and sometimes most undervalued work to send into planetary orbit with our humungous weighted curation trail. If you observe our tribe we have one of the best trending pages and that is because our administration team weight the trail down with their HUGE votes.

These are our picks:

Please note: We only support original content here.
We will exact vengeance with extreme prejudice on plagiarists and spammers.

We also take our tags seriously.

So please try and use the relevant tags as we will only vote on those with them. We won't be voting a picture of your cat with SPT for example. SPT is for Splinterlands.

Our best picks of the week will be featured on our weekly newspaper highlights.
