General Health

I often found solace in the gentle rhythms of the countryside, where the harmonious dance between man and nature unfolded before my eyes. I can still remember the sight of farmers, their hands deftly manoeuvring machines, tilling the rich, dark soil that cradled the promise of life. Each rumble of the tractor was not just an engine in motion; it was a symphony of cultivation, a pledge to the earth.

From the shadowy depths of damp forests to the vibrant, sun-soaked patches of grand meadows, a hidden kingdom thrives, fascinating me with its complexities and wonders. This is the world of mycology. My obsession with fungi sparked when I was a teenager. Frequently I walked through a nearby forest and it was there where I stumbled upon a cluster of vibrant mushrooms that looked like they belonged in a fairy tale.

Vitamin D is one of those supplements that you really shouldn’t overlook its importance in your overall health and wellbeing, like I admittedly did. In my research, before I started taking Vitamin D3, I was so surprised by a couple of the noted effects that supplementation can give us. But knowledge is freeing, it gives us the best start to taking control of our own health and I promise you, Vitamin D is a great thing to have knowledge of!

I don't know about you, but I've been enjoying Watercress for many years now, and let me tell you, this incredible vegetable has found a permanent place in our kitchen! In Thailand they call it ‘Pat Naam’, which translates to ‘Water Vegetable.’ It’s a staple at my local fresh foods market, always readily available and remarkably affordable. It's almost too good to be true, but then I stumbled upon a fascinating claim: a source I encountered proclaimed Watercress to be the world's healthiest vegetable.

I recall living in the Southern part of the Netherlands, a mere 4 miles away from the German border. I still clearly remember embarking on regular trips to the nearest German town purchasing their famous Sauerkraut. The tangy delight of this fermented cabbage dish was a staple in our household. Fast forward to my current residence in Thailand, and my taste buds have been enchanted by the spicy allure of Korean Kimchi.
