Published on Leave a comment on The HIDDEN Culprit Behind Deforestation Now Known: The SOY INDUSTRY – A Major Cause!

Tell the Government "Palm Tree Loggers Are Bad AND SOY Industry CROPS Are Bad - Causing Equal Deforestation In The Amazon. If You Stopped Supporting Palm Oil, you should STOP Supporting SOY!"

Brazil and USA are the Two Leading Producers OF soy. Bolivia follows hard after them. Most Crops in the USA are GMO Crops (Genetically Modified) by notorious Monsanto, highly skilled in Crafting Words - numerous Countries have bought their LIES. They are NOT out to Save Humanity! Based on extensive Research by many True Health Professionals and Independent Researchers, they are (and have proved to be) a THREAT to Humanty. India can tell you the Real Impact of Monsanto's GMO Scheme. 100s of Farmers take their lives to escape the appauling conditions those GMO Crops and the Excessive use of their Nasty Toxic RoundUp creates.

KEEP MONSANTO'S GMO FRANKEN-SEEDS AND NASTY PRACTICES OUT OF AUSTRALIA.
BAN HARMFUL GLYPHOSATES and ROUNDUP FROM MONSANTO.
EDUCATE PEOPLE ON THE TRUE FACTS ABOUT SOY, AND BOYCOT THE SOY INDUSTRY!

There's an Information War going on in recent years about Canola and Soy because Truth is out concerning them now!

As an Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs, I pity anyone who is taken in by the likes of SOY.…

Published on Leave a comment on Gardening 2 or 3 Times A Week To Relieve Stress

By SunnySkyz - Based on Survey!

A new study suggests that frequent gardening may be linked to increased health benefits.

According to the study posted on ScienceDirect, gardening just two or three times a week maximized the benefits of better wellbeing and lower stress levels. Gardening Encourages Family Togetherness, and it Keeps You Company if you live on your own too - I love to do this, my plants are great company. Folks, you don't have to have a lot of Plants to do this!

Benefits Of Gardening - Discover Them

The research explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognized any health benefits from the activity.

A questionnaire was distributed electronically within the UK, with 5,766 gardeners and 249 non-gardeners responding. Data was collated on factors including garden typology, frequency of gardening and individual perceptions of health and well-being.

"This is the first time the 'dose response' to gardening has been tested and the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the more frequently you garden – the greater the health benefits," said Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) wellbeing fellow and lead author Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui. "In fact gardening every day has the same positive impact on wellbeing than undertaking regular, vigorous exercise like cycling or running.…

Published on Leave a comment on Australian Lychee Season Extends Further Into Summer Due To Unseasonal Weather

ABC Rural / By Megan Hughes and Katrina Beavan 28 Jan 2023

Consumers can expect to see more lychees on supermarket shelves for longer this year as cooler and wetter conditions result in a later harvest than usual.

And despite a bumper crop being picked, prices have stayed steady, meaning the delay is also good news for growers such as Lush Lychees in central Queensland.

Lychee Berries Growing In Queensland Now!

Owners Krystal and Paul Caton have processed more than 120 tonnes of fruit since December at their 5,000 tree orchard, 30 kilometres north-west of Rockhampton.

"This year we've had the greatest season that we could have asked for in the last seven years of owning our orchard," Ms Caton said.

"This really expands our market having a number of varieties that have all produced really well this year."

About 280km south, near Bundaberg, Australian Lychees Association president Derek Foley's orchard had produced a record crop.

"[The crop is] 40 per cent up on what I've ever done before," he said.

Mr Foley said the volume of fruit was up on last year across the industry but prices had stayed steady despite the increased supply.…

Published on Leave a comment on Natural High: Why Birdsong Is The Best Antidote To Our Stressful Lives

From The Guardian Website - Past Edition

Dawn Chorus Day is a good time to celebrate the benefits to mental and physical health of birdsong.
Let us all speak up for protecting the different Species of Birds needing our voice.

A Beautiful Nightingale Photo by National Geographic

When I hear the first willow warbler of the spring, the first cuckoo, or the first booming bittern on my local patch, I feel an enormous sense of comfort and satisfaction. As the poet Ted Hughes wrote about the annual return of swifts, “They’ve made it again, which shows that the globe’s still working…”

It’s International Dawn Chorus Day on Sunday 5 May, and this year the RSPB has released a single of birdsong (currentlyat number 11 in the charts) as part of a campaign to draw attention to the situation facing British birdlife. Populations of once-common species such as the house sparrow, starling and swift are falling fast, while the nightingale, turtle dove and grey partridge are rapidly sliding towards extinction in Britain.

Climate change, intensive farming and pollution are just some of the genuinely existential threats to the future of our birds.…

Published on 1 Comment on Feeding Ducks In The Parks And Riversides

By Janet Vargas - Owner of this Website

Have you ever had the pleasure of watching Ducks in a Park with a Lake or by a Riverside somewhere? They are friendly little creatures. And they look so Cute, the way they walk with their colorful little web-feet - especially when they congregate close to your feet when you're feeding them.

Practice Care When Feeding Ducks In Parks And Lakes

I've had this experience in a few places through the years (3 Riversides and 3 Parks with artificial Lakes in total). They're such peaceful and happy creatures, and quite friendly, when they get to know you.

There's some things we need to know about Feeding them. And I hope for my little Friend's sake that everyone reads this because in a little Park with a small lake nearby, where I go to have some quiet Nature relaxation, many visitors including myself, like to Feed the Ducks. They welcome the free food that comes their way and get quite excited - pecking and nibbling away:) It's a really nice experience. They're such happy little chappys.

Something came to my attention 5-6 years ago, that Feeding Ducks Bread is actually Not Good for them, and most of the people who feed ducks in the Parks etc give them bread.…

Chemicals In Fizzy Drinks - Perilous To Health!

MY COUSINS WERE ALLOWED TO HAVE LOTS OF FIZZY DRINKS I WASN'T BROUGHT UP WITH -

Why You Should Be Worried About The Chemicals In Your Soda
By Riley Cardoza

It's hard, we know, and the addictive properties of the Caffeine in every can certainly don't make giving up soda any easier. But hear us out. Doubling up on soft drinks every week means doubling your risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a study in the American Association for Cancer Research's journal. Drinking a standard can of cola is like pouring 39 grams of sugar straight down your throat, and there's nothing sweet about what it'll do to your waistline. Even if you go for the sugar-free options, a recent study in the journal Stroke found that artificially-sweetened drinks lead to increased risk of strokes and dementia.…

Published on Leave a comment on A 60-Minute Walk In Nature Decreases Activity In Brain Regions Involved In Stress Processing

Researchers in Germany have found that a one-hour walk in nature reduces
stress-related brain activity.

The amygdala is the brain region involved in stress processing. It has been shown to be less activated in people who live in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature.

Nature Walks Are Good For Your Brain

However, no study so far has examined the causal effects of natural and urban environments on stress-related brain mechanisms.

"But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be disentangled, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions," says Sonja Sudimac, predoctoral fellow in the Lise Meitner Group for Environmental Neuroscience (LMGEN) and lead author of the study.

To address this question, researchers from LMGEN examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Berlin's Grunewald Forest and a busy city street using functional magnetic resonance imaging.

The results of the study revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why The Controversy Over Canola And Veggie Oils? Do You Still Believe In Them?

THERE IS AN INFORMATION-WAR GOING ON BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS OUT AND THOSE UNSCRUPULOUS MANUFACTURERS ARE "DIGGING THEIR HEELS IN" AND REFUSE TO COME CLEAN.

Don't Opt For Price - Opt For Health. Lets Be Smart!

WHY? BECAUSE OF "MONEY, MONEY!" THESE OILS ARE DIRT CHEAP TO MAKE AND THEY RAKE IN THE PROFITS WHILE SO MANY PEOPLE BLINDLY TRUST IN THE PREFABRICATED LIES CRISCO SOLD US IN THE 1950s. IF YOU WILL JUST ALLOW YOURSELF THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, I WILL SHOW YOU WHY WE SHOULD HAVE A DISTASTE FOR SUCH LIES AND BECOME SMARTER - THEY ARE COUNTING ON OUR IGNORANCE AND "Ignorance Isn't Bliss" WHEN IT COMES TO MEMORY LOSS, WEIGHT GAIN, CANCER, ALZHEIMERS AND OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH DISORDERS.

Medical Practitioners get an awful lot of misleading brain washing from Big Pharma about 'Cholesterol' and so do we over Media. It's deliberate Misinformation because Cholesterol plays an important roll in Protecting our Nerve Cells and Brain Cells - even our Heart. So the reverse to what they tell us is True. We've been sold on a Lie! And it's time to correct that.

Beware of Greedy Manufacturers profiteering from selling you FAKE FOODS.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Art of Self-Kindness and How it Helps Us Cope with Stress

By Juandri Buitendag and Prof Margareta James - Psychologists

Self-kindness can boost our mental health and help us navigate stressful situations. This is what we can do to nurture more of it.

Importance Of Practicing Some Self-Kindness - An Absolute Must!

Observing the breeze blow gently through the trees, savoring the delicate taste of a morning cuppa and curling up with a diverting novel in hand: far from being an extravagance, as these acts of self-kindness have sometimes been treated, they are in fact the fundamental building blocks of strong mental health.

In a world that is increasingly time-pressured and an economic model that has an unyielding focus on improving efficiency, it is easier than ever to overlook or de-prioritise your personal feelings and needs.

But according to psychologists, the art of self-kindness, although something that can be honed, is not something that should be optional. Whether it be in the realms of the physical, emotional, spiritual, or indeed professional, being conscious and sensitive towards yourself, they say, is key preparation for everything that life throws at us.

“It can change your life massively,” says Juandri Buitendag, a counseling psychologist who founded JB Wellness Dynamics, a London-based psychology therapy practice.…
