Published on Leave a comment on Diet: The Most Overlooked Cause Of Poor Quality Sleep. Do You Want To Sleep Better?

Forget Sleeping Pills—This Natural Fix Is in Your Kitchen

By Mie Hermansen

From melatonin sprays to meditation apps, we’ve tried everything to sleep better. But researchers now say one of the most powerful tools for better rest is already in your fridge. Here’s how diet may be the secret to a deeper night’s sleep.

More Fruits and Veggies, Better Sleep

Participants who consumed more plant-based foods during the day experienced noticeably more restful and uninterrupted sleep that same night.

Sleep Benefits Showed Up After Just One Day

The improvements didn’t take weeks to appear—researchers observed positive sleep changes within the first 24 hours of eating more fruits and vegetables.

Less Tossing and Turning

Those with higher fruit and vegetable intake experienced fewer sleep disruptions, meaning they were less likely to wake up or shift out of deep sleep during the night.

Just Five Servings Made a Measurable Difference

Researchers estimated that meeting the CDC’s daily recommendation of five servings could improve sleep quality by as much as 16 percent.

Whole Grains Help Too

Alongside produce, participants who consumed healthy carbs like whole grains also reported better sleep, likely due to improved regulation of blood sugar and hormones.…

Published on Leave a comment on How To Reduce Stress In Just 5 Minutes – According To Science – Give These A Try:)

HEY THESE ARE REALLY GOOD. YOU SHOULD GIVE SOME A TRY.
SOMETIMES WE ONLY NEED THE SIMPLE THINGS - NOT COMPLICATED.

By Ida-Marie Palm Varaek

You don’t need a weekend retreat or hours of meditation to calm down.

According to Science, just five minutes of small, intentional actions can help your body relax.

Take Five Deep Breaths

Your breath is directly connected to your Nervous System.

Deep, slow breathing can lower blood pressure, calm your heart rate, and reduce cortisol - the stress hormone linked to poor sleep and brain fog.

Try "coherent breathing": inhale for six seconds, exhale for six - steady and slow.

Hug Someone Or Hold A Hand

Touch releases oxytocin, the "love hormone" that helps to regulate stress.

A 20-second hug can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Self-touch works too - place a hand on your heart, rub your arms, or gently touch your face.

Step Outside In The Sunshine

Natural light helps reset your body clock, boosts vitamin D, and improves heart rate variability.

Just two minutes outdoors can improve your mood and reduce inflammation. Even standing on a sunny balcony counts.

Take A Brisk Five Minute Walk

Movement boosts blood flow to the brain and activates the "default mode network", which supports daydreaming and creativity.…

Published on Leave a comment on The No. 1 Sign You Were Raised by a Narcissist, According to a Psychologist

Story by Caroline Kee

If you've been on the internet lately, you've probably seen the term "narcissist" thrown around. It's become a common label used to describe toxic traits and behaviors, often in the context of romantic relationships.

You may think of the classic love-bombing, manipulative cheater or the arrogant, entitled spouse who is always right.

Another type of relationship that's often plagued by narcissism is the one between a parent and child. The narcissistic parent trope is often depicted in film, such as Faye Dunaway's role in "Mommie Dearest," or the neglectful parents in "Matilda."

Narcissistic parents can shape the entire family dynamic and have a lasting impact on a child's wellbeing. However, children of narcissists may not realize this until they're struggling with the effects years or decades later.

How can you tell if a parent was a narcissist? TODAY.com spoke to Ramani Durvasula, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, narcissism expert and author of "It's Not You," about the telltale signs that a person might've been raised by a narcissistic parent or caregiver.

What Is Narcissism?

"Narcissism is a personality style or pattern that's characterized by some pretty set qualities and traits, and you have to have most, if not all, of them to call someone narcissistic," Durvasula tells TODAY.com.…

Published on Leave a comment on SOY the Hidden Factor: Cannot Believe This Is In Australia But It Is. Watch Em!

SOME YEARS AGO (not many) I WAS TOLD BY A RESPONSIBLE STORE ASISTANT IN A SUPERMARKET "No, we don't actually have GMO Crops growing in Australia apart from Canola" BUT SEE WHAT JUST CAME UP IN AN ARTICLE ON THE NET WHEN I WAS ON SOME GARDENING RESEARCH (not health related) AT 4am? AND IT GRIEVES ME TO DO THIS - ALSO THE FACT I WAS BACKWARD WITH IT, HAVING SO MANY WEBSITES TO RUN. I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW, SO I INTERRUPED MY LEISURE RESEARCH!

HERE'S THE ARTICLE:
In 2020 Australia imported 1.18 million tonnes of soya bean with 85% of this processed into Soybean Meal for livestock, primarily from GMO crops in USA, Brazil and Argentina. It is important to remember that the primary purpose of this genetic modification is to make the crop herbicide resistant, specifically to glyphosate, so the crop can be sprayed up to 4 times with Glyphosate for weed control without impacting on the actual soybean crop. This fact alone is incredibly disconcerting considering the concerns now being raised regarding the Health Issues associated with Glyphosate and RoundUp usage.

Soy has been a staple in Asian diets for thousands of years, and for Vegetarians and people with Lactose Intolerance it’s a good source of calcium and protein.…

Published on Leave a comment on Ways to Avoid Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals

I INTEND TO HAVE INFO FROM OTHER AUTHORS HERE

Endocrine disruptors like PFAS, BPA, and Phthalates lurk in everything
from Cleaning Products to Dust Bunnies.

By Alexandra Zissu – Author of The Conscious Kitchen and Co-Author of Planet Home and The Complete Organic Pregnancy

Recent June 2025 Article

You may remember learning in Biology Class that our bodies are run by a Network of Hormones and Glands that regulate everything we do. Most often, we think about this system—our Endocrine System—in the context of Puberty, but it actually plays a starring role in All phases of Development, Metabolism and Behavior.

Here’s the bad news: Synthetic Chemicals in products like Plastics and Fragrances can Mimic Hormones and interfere with or disrupt the Delicate Endocrine Dance. We’re exposed to these chemicals daily, and we’re especially vulnerable to them during phases of accelerated development—including throughout Childhood or a Pregnancy. Fetuses are also particularly at risk. Some of the impacts on our Metabolism and Immune, Nervous, and Reproductive Systems can have long-term and even lifetime adverse health effects, such as Learning Disabilities, Obesity, Diabetes, Reproductive Problems (including infertility), and Cancer. 

“We have very tight developmental windows of when, say, our Brain and Reproductive Organs are formed,” explains NRDC Senior Scientist Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on If You Heard These 10 Phrases As A Child, You Were Raised By People Who Never Healed From Their Own Trauma

By Farley Ledgerwood

Is This You Or Your Parents? Healing From Traumas - It Is Possible!

Some wounds don’t end with the person who got hurt.

They get passed down—quietly, unconsciously—from parent to child. Not always through actions. Sometimes, it’s through words. Offhand phrases. Things said in anger or stress or fear. Words that, at the time, might have sounded like discipline or “tough love,” but left a mark that still lingers today.

I’ve heard these phrases in friends’ stories, in quiet confessions over coffee, and even from people who weren’t sure why certain memories still sting.

In most cases, the parents weren’t bad people. They were tired. Overwhelmed. Still hurting from things they never fully processed. And without realizing it, they handed some of that pain to the next generation.

Parents Need To Heal From Trauma
and So Do You

If you grew up hearing any of these phrases, you might have been raised by someone who never got the healing they needed. And that’s not about blame—it’s about understanding.

Because healing often begins with recognizing what we’ve absorbed—and deciding what we won’t pass on.

1. “Stop crying before I give you something to cry about”

It sends the message that your emotions are a threat.…

Published on Leave a comment on 10 Life Experiences That Have Quietly Made You A Better Person, Says Psychology

By Farley Ledgerwood

Life can be a wild ride, throwing experiences at you that reshape and redefine you in unexpected ways. And guess what? Many of these experiences, according to psychology, are quietly making you a better person.

Let’s get personal. We’ve all had moments that challenged us, made us grow, or changed our perspective.

But did you know that these very experiences might have been subtly improving you as a person? Now that’s food for thought!

Let’s dive in and explore ten life experiences that psychology says have been quietly transforming you into a better version of yourself.

And remember, it’s not about the big, monumental changes – sometimes it’s the quiet ones that make the loudest impact.

Wiser and Brighter through
Struggles and Triumphs

1) Embracing failure

Failure is a fact of life. It’s unavoidable. But how we react to failure is what truly defines us.

Psychologists have found that those who see failure as a learning opportunity, rather than a setback, exhibit higher levels of resilience and personal growth.

This doesn’t mean that failure doesn’t sting; but it’s about shifting perspective and seeing it as a stepping stone to success.…

Published on Leave a comment on Woodchips From Endangered Possum Habitat Sold To Domino’s For Woodfired Pizza – State Forest Involved! ABC

DON'T YOU JUST HATE IT FOLKS, WHEN SO MANY OF OUR PRECIOUS TREES ARE CUT DOWN FOR ALL THE WASTE OF PAPER BAGS and SHOPPING BAGS DESTINED TO BE THROWN OUT; MILES OF UNESSESARY A3 BANK STATEMENTS (Only A4 is needed and some of those Pages are Mostly Blank) HUGE CARRY BAGS GIVEN BY WOMEN'S CLOTHING STORES FOR SMALL ITEMS OF CLOTHING; TONS OF AMAZON ITEMS STILL BEING PACKED IN CARTONS and BOXES INSTEAD OF SIMPLE BAGS THAT REQUIRE LESS PAPER PULP = LESS TREES; ETC, ETC. IT'S ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS, THAT IS! DON'T YOU THINK?

Unique Trees In State Forest Cut Down For
Dominos Pizzas - Reprehensible!

A Victorian Sawmill harvested wood from Endangered Mountain Ash Forests and sold it to Domino's as Woodchips to smoke meat for Pizzas. Imagine that?

The pizzas were marketed with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. However, an Investigation has now found Seven Breaches of FSC Standards.

When Domino's advertised its "smokehouse" pizzas in 2023, it trumpeted that the meat was smoked over timber logged from "Aussie Mountain ash".

It also advertised that the timber was certified as sustainable.

But what the advertising didn't promote was that Mountain Ash Forests are Critically Endangered, with Logging listed as one of the Key Processes threatening them.…

Published on Leave a comment on Push to BAN Gazania daisies after New Research finds them Harmful to Australian Environment

AND SHAMEFUL BUNNINGS!

‘They are Moving into Grain Production Areas,
Choking Out Crops and Costing Farmers.’
From 7 NEWS

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?

An ornamental flowering plant sold at Bunnings and Other Nurseries
has been labelled dangerous to Australia’s Environment.

Do You Know This Flower?

Gazania daisies, bright coloured flowers native to South Africa, are a
“Highly-Invasive Plant”, a new study by La Trobe University said.

According to the Research, Gazania Seeds show a High Tolerance for a wide range of environmental conditions, enabling them to Spread More Aggressively and Destructively than previously expected.

As a result, researchers warn that the plant can become a problematic weed all year-round across much of Australia, potentially leading to widespread infestations.

Gazania has already been found growing in a range of habitats, from coastal sand dunes and stream banks to wastelands, open grasslands, roadsides and cultivated or irrigated sites in southern and parts of Western Australia.

“These preliminary findings suggest This Weed has the potential to develop a significant seedbank in Australian no-till grain production systems,”
the report said.

Invasive Species Council Advocacy manager Imogen Ebsworth has called for a National Ban on the plant, expanding from the current restrictions in South Australia.…
