Kiwis Come To Light For Health Benefits

Kiwi Unpeeled: How Two A Day Could Be The Key To Fresher Skin Health and Better Sleep
By Meike Leonard – Daily Mail

Tart, green and fuzzy, they may not always seem the most appealing snack. 

But experts say the humble Kiwi comes with a whole host of Benefits – for our Mood, Digestion and even Skin. 

Native to China since the 12th century, Kiwi were traditionally used for Medicinal Purposes. 

The fruit was administered for stomach issues as well as to aid digestion, ancient records show. 

In the early 20th century, after horticulturists brought the plant's seeds to New Zealand – where it was renamed for its resemblance to the country's furry, brown national bird – the Kiwi became a popular snack amongst stationed US servicemen.

Today, the fruit is one of New Zealand's defining agricultural products – making more than NZ$1billion in export revenue. …

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

One of the Best Ways we can Strengthen Our Immune System is not being frightened by the "Medical Sickness Industry" to help ourselves to some Good Healthy Sunshine Each Day. When Covid struck the USA, Florida was the only State that wasn't affected much because most of them kept on Enjoying the Sunshine. It's really Big Pharma who doesn't want you to have Sunshine because it actually Cuts back the MEDS they Sell, so they made up those LIES about the SUN.

A Report came up in my Research some years ago saying "There's only two ways you can get Skin Cancer. One is if you have those Toxic Sunscreens Baked into your Skin and the other is if you Never get any Sunshine.

Even though the Climate is Warmer, we Need some measure of Sunlight Daily or at-least 3-4 Times a Week. Besides, when the Sun shines on our Skin (without Sunscreen on) we absorb the Best type of "Vitamin D" that is actually a type of Hormone we should keep Replenishing on a Constant Basis.

It is a very good idea to have Vitamin D Foods in addition to wise Exposure of Sunshine.…

The Garden Herb that Experts say Boosts Immune Health
and Protects your Vision

From Independent UK

Herbalists may Recommend them for Digestive Health,
Supporting the Immune System, and as a Mild Diuretic

Chives are a longstanding favorite in cream cheese, omelettes, scrambled eggs and spreads. But did you know the popular, slightly peppery-tasting herb comes with some major health benefits?

Just a tablespoon of the thin green vegetable – which some may mistake for the stronger-tasting, thicker green onion – helps to provide essential vitamins and minerals that strengthen eye health, and support a well-regulated gut and immune system.

Chives contain antibacterial and antiviral compounds, according to a handful of past studies published since the early 2000s.

“In modern herbalism, chives are used for their mild antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbalists may recommend them for digestive health, supporting the immune system, and as a mild diuretic,” botanist Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on 117 Year Old Woman’s Diet Could Help Us Live Healthier With Better Gut Health (Microbiome)

By Rachel Woods – The Conversation

When María Branyas Morera died in 2024 at the age of 117, she left more than memories. She left science a gift: samples of her microbiome.

Researchers discovered her gut was as diverse as someone decades younger: rich in beneficial bacteria linked to resilience and longevity. Her daily yoghurt habit and Mediterranean diet may have helped.

While we can't all inherit "lucky genes", nurturing our microbiome may be one way to support lifelong health.

n a recent paper in Cell Reports Medicine, researchers presented what may be the most detailed scientific investigation of a supercentenarian (a person aged 110 or older). Before her death, Branyas agreed to participate in research aimed at uncovering how she lived such a long and healthy life.

When scientists compared her samples with those of people who had not reached such exceptional ages, the genetic results were unsurprising: Branyas carried protective variants that guard against common diseases.

But they also looked at something over which we have more control – the gut microbiome.

This microbiome is the vast community of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that live in the intestines.…

5 Reasons To Rub Magnesium Oil On Your Feet

Using magnesium oil on your feet can help your body with a lot of things. Applying it transdermally through a foot massage helps get the necessary dosage effortlessly, supporting overall well-being.

A nightly ritual involving rubbing magnesium oil on your feet is gaining attention due to its potential health benefits. This article explores the significance of magnesium and the benefits it offers. Magnesium is essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, yet research indicates that up to 75 percent of people might not be getting enough.

The recommended daily intake of magnesium is between
310 to 320 milligrams for women and 400 to 420 for men.

Many have found transdermal application, which involves applying magnesium directly to the skin, to be an effective method. One such practice involves spraying magnesium oil, a sea salt spray, on the feet and rubbing it in. This method might cause a tingling sensation initially and can either be left on the skin overnight or washed off after 20 to 30 minutes.

The primary benefits of using magnesium oil include:

Published on Leave a comment on How To Do Companion Planting With A Handy List For Beginners

by Green Life Soil in WA

Companion planting is the careful placement of plants (especially vegetables and herbs) which have been shown to have beneficial effects on one another. Sometimes, this comes down to simple physical reasons – taller plants provide shelter from sun and wind for plants that need protection. Climbing plants can be trained up over taller plants to maximise production in small spaces. Some plants make good companions because their roots grow to different depths, so simply do not compete with each other for water and nutrients.

Plants in the legume family (eg. Peas and beans) promote growth in nearby plants with their nitrogen fixing ability – nodules on the roots enable plants to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form used by plants. Also they tend to be deep rooted, which promotes aeration of the soil, thus benefiting their neighbours.

The shape of some plants and their flowers can visually confuse insect pests. Other plants, especially herbs, contain strong smelling substances released by their leaves. These scents can swamp odours emitted by other plants and confuse insects seeking out a target.

Still other plants emit chemicals from their roots which can act as growth stimulants for other plants, or can act negatively to retard germination of seeds.…
