The benefits of Grounding, with evidence. I advocate grounding, walking barefoot on the earth as much as possible. Even walking in muddy soil or beach sand, stony paths or flat plains, they all have many benefits to our body. I'm always asking questions, researching, testing, and this morning, I thought I would share this trick I do. I sometimes buy fruit and vegetables, and then when I get to eat them, they look a bit dishevelled, but I won't waste. You'll be surprised how I rebalance my body naturally :D All in the benefits of science. One day, I had the idea, if grounding helps us, surely, it would help the beetroot, or carrots (for my raw salad). My first attempt, the slugs were very happy. However, the quality of the vegetables I put out plumbed up and looked as if I'd just picked them from the earth. I did eat the part the slugs didn't eat and really enjoyed them. Now if veg or fruit is looking a bit like it needs some earth power, I pop it on the grass and then reap the benefits. I am of course much smarter now than the slugs. The reason I share this is, if the ground can rejuvenate vegetable from s wrinkly dried out organism, to a plump juicy vegetable, then what does it do to us, when we stand barefoot. The answer is MAGIC! #naturelovers #Mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #grounding #vegetables #grounding #humor #beetroot #lovelife

Fun Fact Alert! Did you know that almonds are actually seeds and not nuts? Nature never ceases to amaze us with its surprises! Next time you snack on some almonds, remember you have seeds, not nuts. How cool is that?  #Almonds #SeedsNotNuts #NatureFacts #PlantBasedProtein #HimalayanOrganics

When the harvest comes (success) we have to remember to get the STEM! Get the STEM off the fruit. Sure it helps the fruit remember when it is from, however we need to remove it! Here are four things I learned from washing blueberries and I found many with the STEM still on it. https://lnkd.in/g8yUeKBZ #STEMMentality #StayFresh #Strength #Take #Exception #More #SafeLeadership #FocusFriday #FocusOnTheFutureFriday #YourFuture

Brighten up their day with our sun-kissed surprise! Sunflowers have now joined our bouquet brigade, ready to spread sunshine wherever they go. To celebrate the launch here's 5 fun facts you might not know about sunflowers. 🌻The arrangement of sunflower seeds follows a mathematical pattern called the Fibonacci sequence. This spiral pattern allows for the most efficient packing of seeds within the flower head. 🌻Sunflowers can clean up environmental pollutants. They have been used to extract toxins, such as lead and arsenic, from contaminated soil. 🌻There are about 70 species of sunflowers, ranging in color from the traditional yellow to red, orange, and even white. 🌻Sunflowers can grow to impressive heights. The tallest sunflower on record reached over 30 feet tall! 🌻Young sunflowers exhibit heliotropism, meaning they tilt during the day to face the sun. However, once they mature and bloom, they usually face east and stop moving. Ready to let the sun in? #Sunflowers #SunflowerDelivery #FlowerDelivery #Flowers #SocialFlowers

I believe we can unravel and remember our place in the natural world. Capturing the energy of the sun, let’s not forget that is the magic of what we humans do when we eat, just like the animals and plants. What a strange thing when you zoom out and think about humans eating “food” grown in labs, synthesized from chemical compounds. How un-natural, and how disorienting when for millennia it’s been humans relation to the sun that made us what we are. Same goes for what we cloak ourselves in every day, our closets were not long ago filled with natural fibers, today over 70% of fashion is petroleum based fibers. Food and fiber, human and sun. Let us remember. Anyways, weather is bangin and hay is looking better than ever over here at Casad Family Farms This is year 5 of implementing high impact short duration grazing on our hay fields and with Organic management we have very little “weeds” and the stand is more dense than ever before. No outside inputs needed for vitality, just a farmers affection, cattle as co-workers and the magic of the sun.

🌿 Welcome back to Abereus Story Tuesday! Today, let's explore the fascinating #world of potassium (K) and how it's like a #superhero for #plants, especially in dealing with #water #challenges. 🚿💧    Think of K as the plant's best friend during a drought. It helps the #plant stay hydrated, maintain its #structure, and #control water loss. 🌱 Studies have shown that when plants get enough K, they become #resilient and can better withstand dry conditions. It's like K is their secret weapon for water-saving!    But K's superpowers don't end there. It also fights off harmful substances, like reactive oxygen species (ROS), that can harm plants under #stress. 🦸♂️ So, K not only keeps plants hydrated but also protects them from potential threats.    Now, let's talk about K's many roles in a plant's #life – from #helping enzymes work to signaling important processes. 🎩🌍 It's like K is the all-in-one #solution for a plant's health. Studies even show that when plants get enough K, they become more #resistant to diseases and pests. K is truly a plant's best friend!    Understanding how plants take up K is like watching a carefully choreographed dance. Plants have special mechanisms to decide when and how much K they need, depending on factors like water availability. It's a dance of balance! 💃    In simpler terms, K is crucial for a plant's growth, but it's not always easy for plants to get the K they need. It's a bit like a #puzzle where the more a plant needs K, the harder it is to absorb – a bit like a plant paradox! 🔄    So, if you're curious about how this superhero nutrient, potassium, supports plant life or perhaps intrigued by our #modern, #innovative, #water-less #toilets, let's chat! 🚽💬 If you're eager to learn more about modern toilets, get connected, and let's work together for a more sustainable #future. 🌐✨ ABEREUS - A Better Resource Use #StoryTuesday
