WE LIVE IN SUCH A FAST PACE AGE WITH SO MANY TECH DEVICES AND DEMANDS ON OUR TIME, IT’S GOOD TO BREAK AWAY FROM ALL THAT AND ATTUNE TO NATURE SOMETIMES. IT’S SO BENEFICIAL – IT CONFERS SO MANY BENEFITS (some you don’t find elsewhere). YES A WONDERUL OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITY FOR MANY AND NEW DISCOVERY TO SOME – ENJOYED TO THE FULLEST WHEN CAMPING. YOU REALLY MUST TRY IF YOU HAVE NOT BEFORE. AND IF YOU’RE ACCUSTOMED TO CAMPING AND NATURE, SEE HOW MANY OF THESE BENEITS YOU HAVE NOTICED.

Help Yourself To NATURE
You Will Benefit So Much!

For some, camping in nature is a fun hobby. It’s just a way to spend time with loved ones, cook over an open flame, and get a bit of fresh air. For others, it’s more meaningful. It allows them to disconnect from the modern world, explore the unknown, or reconnect with nature. Regardless, everyone who participates gets some kind of benefit, including some they may not expect.

While the reasons for camping in nature vary, nearly everyone who does experiences a range of benefits, even if they don’t notice it. If you are wondering why camping outdoors is so amazing for you and your health, here’s what you need to know.

Published on 2 Comments on GMOs (Genetically Modified Foods) And Pesticides: How Safe Are They Really?

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

Extensive Reading. Recently Updated.

Friends, You Need To Know The True Facts On Monsanto's GMOs And Glyphosates. Misleading Information Abounds And Comes From Surprising Places (you don’t expect). It’s Alright To Be Cautious. We Need To Be These Days. There Are Big Profits And So Much Greed Out There, As Most Of Us Know.

This Post Will Show Pro GMO Supporters And INFO Sources To Be Very Ignorant Or Deliberately Misleading. Some Intelligent People Suspect Big Pharma And The Chemical Industry To Be Close Allies, Due To So Many People Getting Sick From Chemicals And Then They Have Chemical Drugs Prescribed To Them By Their MD/GPs.

That would not surprise me if it is so because concerns I address in Research on damages caused by Medical Drugs and Agricultural Chemicals goes pretty much hand in hand - generally speaking. It is interesting to note here that BAYER Manufactures make Both. If you do a Google search for Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Bayer Agriculture Products, I think you may be surprised what you find.

Can you see the question that comes to mind when researching? It's a possibility that Big Ag and Big Pharma and the Food Giant companies who are so persistent in adding Chemicals to almost everything we but in the Supermarkets have been close Allies for decades.…

WALK FOR PLEASURE OR LEISURE AND TAKE IN SOME FRESH AIR OR SUNSHINE. IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD AND IT'S GREAT FOR YOUR HEALTH. THE 1O,000 STEPS THEY SAID YOU HAVE TO DO HAS NOW BEEN PROVEN WRONG - NOT EVERYONE IS UP TO THAT - 5,000 TO 8,000 STEPS IF YOU'RE KEEN FOR BEST RESULTS, RESEARCH NOW REVEALS. IN FACT, SOME RESEARCHERS ARE SAYING THAT EVEN 15 MIN WALKS CONFER SOME BENEFITS OR 2 OR 3 TEN MINUTE WALKS IN A DAY. THERE IS SO MUCH SAID BY PHYSIOS AND CHIROS, NEUROSCIENTISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS ABOUT OUR NEED TO KEEP MOVING OFTEN THROUGH THE DAY FOR OUR HEALTH'S SAKE - SEDENTARY LIVING WITH VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT CAN SET US UP FOR HEALTH CONDITIONS WE DON'T WANT. BUT SOME 'EXPERTS' HAVE MADE THINGS SOUND COMPLICATED OR LOTS OF HARD WORK AND IT REALLY ISN'T AT ALL. TAKE A SIMPLE APPROACH YOU CAN STAY WITH AND DO ENJOY!

Published on Leave a comment on An Absolute Kudos To SA Wine Region For Wishing To Stay GMO Free!

IN ADDITION TO THEIR PRINCIPLE OF PRODUCING AND MAINTAINING TOP QUALITY WINE, I HAVE DONE CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH ON THE LIKES OF MONSANTO - THEY ARE VERY SHADY, TO SAY THE LEAST. I WILL PLACE LINKS TO TWO OF MY WEBSITES IN SUPPORT TO DECISIONS LIKE THIS. THE SA GOVERNMENT DID NOT DO THEIR HOMEWORK PROPERLY CONCERNING THEIR DECISION TO ALLOW GMO CROPS INTO THE STATE. THERE ARE REAL FACTORS, I BELIEVE, THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF TO APPROVE SUCH A THING! THE MCLARENVALE WINE REGION HAS SOME SMART DECISION MAKERS - IT IS WISE TO DO DUE DILIGENCE IN SUCH MATTERS AND I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

Key SA Wine Region Leads Push To Remain GM-Free

From Indaily.Com.Au

South Australia’s largest council is poised to be the first to ask permission to ban genetically modified crops from its borders following a push from McLaren Vale’s wine industry, which says the lifting of a moratorium will cost the region millions.

Onkaparinga councillors will decide tomorrow night (Tuesday, September 15) if they will ask for the district to be given non-GM crop designation following months of public consultation.

Legislation lifting a 16 Year Ban on Genetically Modified Crops in SA was passed by state parliament in May.…

NOT EVERYONE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AT THE PRESENT TIME, BUT FOR THOSE WHO CAN, WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRY? AND THIS WILL BE SOMETHING SOME OF US CAN LOOK FORWARD TO, HEY? CAMPING IS A FAVORITE TO MANY AND A NICE DISCOVERY IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED IT.

Camping Has the Power to Reset Our Internal Clocks

For diehard campers, no one needs to tell them how beneficial sleeping underneath the stars can be. The combination of peaceful tranquility, fresh air and connection with nature is enough to cure the effects of the 9-5. New research is backing up this intuition, suggesting that taking a time out from our busy, technology-soaked lives can help reset our internal clocks so we can literally rest more easily.

Researchers from the University of Colorado in Boulder set out on a six day camping trip in the Rocky Mountains, sans smartphones and any other illuminating tools. For the duration of the trip, the campers only utilized daylight and the glow of their campfire. The result was the group going to sleep an average of two and a half hours earlier than they would at home and getting ten hours of sleep each night.…

Published on Leave a comment on Former Musician Turns to Gardening In The Pandemic – Others Are Doing This!

ABC Wide Bay / By Eliza Goetze July 2020

Up until earlier this year, Luen Free was typically in a dimly lit nightclub, entertaining.

But with the Coronavirus pandemic putting her and many others out of work, she is using the time to pursue her other passion: Organic Farming.

And with the pandemic leaving fewer backpackers who typically go 'WWOOFing' — volunteering on organic farms — Australians are being encouraged to help out on home soil. Soaking up knowledge.

WWOOF stands for Willing Workers on Organic Farms, a worldwide movement that has connected thousands of volunteers — many of them travellers — with farmers who offer food and a bed in exchange for gardening know-how.

From DJ To Permaculture During Pandemic

G'Day Farm co-founder, Greg Dixon, said he and his wife Dionne would struggle to run the farm smoothly without WWOOFers.

They welcome a small number of regular volunteers, who donate a few hours each week, as well as visitors like Luen and her husband Patch who stay for a week or more. "Each WWOOFer we've had, they've been great — a huge help," Mr Dixon said.

WWOOF Australia manager, Traci Wilson-Brown, said border restrictions meant fewer backpackers, who typically make up 80 per cent of WWOOF volunteers — but more Australians were taking their pandemic passion for gardening to the next level.…

Published on Leave a comment on Social Isolation Helped Me Discover The Wonders Of Walking and Enjoying Nature!

By Zoe Victoria April 2020

It’s been 16 days since my university shut down classes and I went into social isolation. Those first days of isolation felt like the end of the world. I felt constantly on edge. I was in a terrible mood most of the time and I resented the fact that I was stuck inside the house for everything. My work was online, my studies had transitioned online, I could only see and talk to my friends online. And amidst all of that, the internet bubble of news only seemed to be getting more and more anxiety-inducing.

I spent those sought after minutes of freedom walking my neighbourhood in an attempt to rid myself of the negative feelings of anger and anxiety that seemed to be constantly swirling around inside me. 

I have begun to look forward to my daily walk not just as an escape but as an enjoyable activity in its own right

And so my daily walk began as a way to escape the confines of the four walls of my house. If I didn’t leave I felt I would go stir crazy. One morning I woke up and did my level best to eat breakfast and change into my gym gear without encountering any of the other three people who live in my house.…

GLAD TO KNOW AT LEAST ONE PROFESSOR IS INTERESTED TO STUDY NATURE'S WAY AND PROMOTING HIS FINDINGS. ORGANIC GARDENERS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL US THESE THINGS FOR YEARS. COMMERCIAL FARMERS MAKE THEM OUT TO BE THE 'ODD BODS' SO TO SPEAK. TODAY'S TOXIC AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY HAS MUCH TO ANSWER FOR - THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BUILDUP OF CHEMICALS IN PEOPLE'S SYSTEMS, THEIR BODY CANNOT HANDLE - ALONG WITH BIG PHARMA AND THE COMMERCIAL FOOD INDUSTRY. HONESTLY, RIGHT THERE IS THE REASON WHY MOST PEOPLE ARE SICK. IT'S NOT NORMAL, IT'S CONSIDERED TO BE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T KNOWN ANY DIFFERENT BUT OUR FOR-PARENTS DID AND THEY WERE WELL. TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, WE CANNOT IMPROVE ON NATURE - WE'RE BEST WORKING WITH HER - NOW, TO SEE WHY. SHALL WE GO?

COMPANION planting of flowers near vegetable crops is nothing new but a researcher is aiming to more fully document the benefits on a commercial level.

Charles Sturt University and Hort Innovation research is further exploring how the planting of flowers within vegetable crops encourages beneficial insects which keep pests in check.

The research aims to help vegetable growers adopt integrated pest management (IPM) methods that are simple, cost-effective, fit with mainstream farming, and reduce costs.…
