Worried about climate but unsure what to do? Let me show you how simply I live with no electricity, gas, oil or a car. Growing my food and firewood. Keeping chickens. This life can be really harmonious!
Just to give you ideas, not preaching ❤️
When you dig up potatoes,some get damaged and will not last in the root cellar.
So I am eating them straight away.. Added some garlic cloves that were too tiny - you should always plant the best ones to ensure good genetics.
Sprikled a bit of dried chantarelles into the pan,too
Brilliant discussion about how important good healthy eating is for yor immune system.
It is long video, but here are the main points.

Third: eat good fats. Monounsaturated ones. Our body needs omega3 - fats! That is the reason the mediterranean diet performs well study after study. DHA fats make up 60% of our brain. And most of us are not getting enough.
Secondly, eat foods of different colours. Different nutrients come from different coloured foods. So if you combine different colours, you automatically get a vide variety of nutrients.
What to fix? First, we all get too little fiber. Fiber feeds your gut microbiome and that way affects your overall health in countless ways.
We must take action ourselves and not expect regulators to act. The changge begins in your own home.
Our food industry uses about 10.000 approved additive chemicals. The majority of them have not been tested on humans. But we have tests proving that manny of those have a negative impact on our gut microbiome!
Ultra processed foods have loads of sugar, salt and bad fats. Sugar is a gut lining disruptor. Salt depletes the useful lactobacilles by 90%. Wrong kinds of fats don't feed our brain the right way. Even two of these three in excess amounts causes overeating in tests.
The average adult spends 90% of their time indoors: in a man-made, sterile environment, as opposed to nature, surrounded by microbes.
For every 10% of ultra processed foods in your diet, you death risk rises 14%. And many folks get over half of their daily calories from ultra processed foods. No wonder we see auto-immune disease (10%), allergies 30%) and chronic inflammation in the population.
The secret to a healthy giäut is a healthy microbiole (the microbes in your gut). And our modern life wrecks that microbiome in countless ways.
That is why a healthy gut lining giving you a healthy immunity is so crucial: if it weakens, you get chronic inflammation, manifesting as various symptoms from tiredness to bloating, low mood, hormone disruptions or skin problems.
We have the innate immune system we're born with that fights pathogens. But as pathogens adapt and evolve, we need out adaptive immune system. The majority of those cells live in our gut.
My lucky day ❤️ the library bus came and I got a bagful of books!!
They have a website where you can search and order all the books in the country. And then they arrive in the bus forthnightly.
Here I have books on chickens,gardening and some fantasy, which I chidlishly like 😀
The hardest part of growing your food is preserving it. Not planting or weeding.
Picking and processing what you grow is the most laborious part of the thing!
Wash, boil, peel, shred, prep the pickling stock, dry...
And the stuff has a dishesrtening tendency to shrink 😂
The harvesting is almost done, and mushroom and berry season is over. So I have plenty of time to snuggle in the couch with the fire roaring and read....
