Maximiser Vos Années en Bonne Santé

Sometimes I just love technology.
Discovered that my French neighbours are greeted with this when they log on to the site. Logic tells me the same automatic translation will occur when German speakers log in, Spanish speakers and so on. If you are – and you have – do let us know!
Language is no barrier to health.
Had our first log in from Panama this week too – Hola!
We featured The Jump on last week’s blog, they seem happy with that.
Have you?
Released this week:
“Once in a rare while, one happens upon a writer who is capable of linking worlds and healing the soul. Dr. Rankin is, on one hand, a highly trained physician devoted to evidence and all that the unblinking rational mind can tell us. And on the other hand, she is an explorer who walks into the deeper, less-mapped mysteries of healing where only the prostrate soul can pass. She examines, she pokes, she asks for evidence, she asks what works, she questions herself, and she slowly moves us ahead. It’s about the physical, yes, but also about healing the deeper developmental and acute traumas. It’s about the science, yes, but also about opening one’s heart and knowing how to protect that which is most beautiful and essential. It’s about healing the individual, yes, but also about healing the communities and culture. Read this book with attention to the particularities of your own spectacular, wild, and utterly unique life. This is a deeper medicine.”
—Jeffrey D. Rediger, MD, MDiv, Harvard medical school professor, radical remission researcher, and author of Cured.
An outstanding endorsement – for an outstanding book. Dr Rankin’s previous book Mind Over Medicine now has a revised edition available and is currently on sale on Amazon Kindle UK for £1.43, FR for 1,70€
This popped up on my newsfeed the other day. As a non-user, the looming supply issue doesn’t directly affect me.
I choose to use healthier alternatives: olive oil and coconut oil.
This article from Dr Josh Axe shares why.
So aesthetically pleasing!
Our office was really a ‘dumping room’; 3 children, born several years apart, along with various projects in between times have kept sorting it out way down my priority list.
I promised I would – and I have.
Just wish I’d done it ages ago.
Stacks of papers recycled, nothing new purchased, lots of things ‘found‘. Result.
Many of the good people on our site would also argue that a calm environment is excellent for our mental health too.
Guess which one’s the organic version and which is conventionally grown? (ie with pesticides).
I buy mostly organic produce, but do use EWG’s ‘Dirty Dozen’ and ‘Clean Fifteen‘ annual lists for the most and least contaminated fruit and vegetables.
Broccoli regularly features on the latter list, so I don’t stress too much if I can’t get hold of organic all the time – and its health benefits are huge.
These two went to make up this ‘broccoli stalk soup’.
For years I threw the stalks away. What a waste: They’re great to use in juicing and soups, full of flavour.
This one was delicious:
- Broccoli heads and stalks
- Vegetable stock
- Chopped onion
- Garlic
- Sea Salt and Black Pepper
Served with olive-oil fried croutons and fresh chives from the garden. Yum!
We featured a video from Mo on last week’s Something New. Lots of positive comments – we’ve added his podcast too.
One of March’s podcasts features Dr Rangan Chatterjee, another favourite of ours.
Mo will be featured on Dr Chatterjee’s No1 UK and European Podcast Feel Better, Live More shortly too.
How exquisitely beautiful are these tulips?
The first Spring flowers from our garden. What a joy to bring the outside into our home once more.
We’re pretty sustainable in the flower department now, for fruit too, just those vegetables that I really need to get working on…
Got herbs sussed:
Brought some rosemary inside, to steep in boiling water and enjoy as an afternoon tea (whilst I ploughed through the former junk room, now study once more…).
Rosemary offers impressive potential health benefits, as this article from Healthline shares.
