Kurkuma – Turmeric

Myrela

Kurkuma je odlična za skoro svaki aspekt vaše dobrobiti. Čuvena po tome što sadrži kurkumin, fitohemikaliju sa antiupalnim svojstvima, kurkuma je naročito dobra kod oboljenja kao što je lupus, gdje tijelo može da se zaglavi u naviknutom ciklusu rekacije, čak i nakon što uljez (u slučaju lupusa, Epštajn-Barov virus) više nije prisutan. Obratite pažnju da je upala u hroničnim bolestima rezultat odgovora imunosistema na strano tijelo kao što je virus – a da ne nastaje, kao što mnogi izvori pogrešno tvrde, zato što se tijelo okreće protiv sebe. Međutim, ponekad, kada cilkus započne, tijelu je potreban saveznik da razbije taj ciklus. Kurkuma je idealna za taj posao jer sadrži prirodna i veoma korisna steroidna jedinjenja od kurkumina, kao i drugih aspekata kurkume koji su važni za smirivanje pretjeranih upalnih rekacija na patogene.

Zato je kurkuma odlična za sve u tijelu što je upaljeno i izaziva bol, od nerava do zglobova…

Sustainable Santa for your pets

Darcy Hitchcock

Americans spend $99 billion on our pets (source). If your dog or cat could write a letter to Santa, they’d ask for non-toxic and tasty stocking stuffers. Here are some ideas. (Note, I’m not endorsing these products; they’re just examples.)

Treats made from insect protein from Chippin or Jiminy’s. Your pet likely eats grasshoppers anyway, right?

Shameless Pets Upcycled Treats made from fruits and veggies that would otherwise go to waste.

Pooch Paper, pet waste bags made from paper, not plastic. Sure, your dog may not be too excited, but not all stocking stuffers are fun.

P.L.A.Y’s hot dog plush toy made from recycled water bottles.

Pet Fusion Flip Pad scratching pad for cats, made from recycled paper and can be recycled once it’s a wreck.

United by Blue leashes made from ocean plastic.

BirdsBeSafe collar for your cats, if you can’t keep them inside.

Jamaica needs to step up its inclusion of persons with disabilities in 2022

Petchary's Blog

Yesterday (December 3) was the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and I am glad my friend and blogger Wayne Campbell wrote about it. You can find his post here. It took Jamaica seven years to bring the Disabilities Act into force after it was passed by Parliament in 2014; this will finally happen in February, 2022.

“I urge all countries to fully implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, increase accessibility, and dismantle legal, social, economic and other barriers with the active involvement of persons with disabilities and their representative organizations.”

António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations

One- eighth of the world’s population lives with a disability. The inclusion of persons with disabilities is vital for the sustainable development of the planet. TheInternational Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is a United Nations (UN) day that is celebrated every year on 3 December. The 2021 theme…

Nadia Harhash: “Men are born as misogynists?- 360 Magazine

Na korte blik op de geschiedenis kun je moeilijk anders concluderen dan dat mannen de neiging hebben vrouwen te willen domineren, stelt Nadia Harhash.

After a brief look at history, it is difficult to conclude otherwise that men tend to dominate women, says Palestinian human rights activist Nadia Harhash. She consulted Aristotle and Plato to find out where misogyny comes from. “Why did they actually look down on women?”

Alphabet soup for the soul vol.2 -“J”

Words from Walden

J is forJourney

“It may be that when we no longer know which way to go that we have come to our real journey.”-Wendell Berry-

It is not until we get further down the path and become more self-aware that we can clearly see that the trials and tribulations were put in front of us to make us stronger.

For those who are most fortunate, they can take the worst thing that has ever happened and make it the best.

Once the original victim confronts their trauma, they can help others in a cyclical altruistic fashion that harmonizes healing.

Things happen to us that we can perceive in the moment as tragic. It can feel as if things will never get better but if we believe they will , they will.

It is our perception of the world around us that determines how we react to the circumstances…

Alphabet soup for the soul vol.2 -“I”

Words from Walden

I is for Impermanence

“Impermanence is a principle of harmony. When we don’t struggle against it, we are in harmony with reality.” -Pema Chodron-

The reason we love to watch a fire crackle or a river flow is that it is forever changing. A sunset or starry night provides the same illusion.

The only constant in this world is impermanence. All we have to do is look at the season that changes every 90 days with precision to see that nothing lasts forever.

It doesn’t matter who you are, we are all changing until our time on this earth is complete and we head on to bigger and brighter pastures.

Even death is not death but a change of form. Albert Einstein, the greatest physicist that ever lived said “energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another”

If humans are just matter…
