@CraigBrockie Morning sun gazing while grounding and moving through gentle Tai Chi is my powerful way to awaken the body, boost my mood, and regulate the nervous system
Ever wonder WHY some people get MORE bug 🦟 bites than others?
Nope, it's NOT your "blood type" or because you have "sweet blood."
Instead: It's got to do with your #gut bacteria!
Certain species of mosquitoes actually prefer feeding on humans & show preferences between people...depending on your SKIN MICROBIOTA!
Your skin #microbiota is an extension of your "gut microbiome" and is home to over 1000 different species of bacteria.
According to studies (Takken & Verhulst, 2017) our skin microbiome produces several "volatile compounds" that determines if mosquitos attack you!
Also, the LESS 👎 DIVERSE your skin microbiome, the MORE LIKELY you are to be "bug bait" too.
Sweat from people who have MORE diverse skin microbiomes is much less attractive to mosquitos than that from those with less diverse bacterial ecosystems.
Lastly, mosquitoes are attracted to ethanol that your body gives off AFTER you've been 🍷🍺🍾 drinking...eating sugary 🧁 ,dairy 🥛 starchy 🍚 salty 🍟 foods...or using AHA(Alpha Hydroxy Acid) skin products, due to the lactic acid they contain!
Israel bombed the Rafie Nia Synagogue in Tehran.
Yes, you read that right. Israel bombed a synagogue. In Iran.
Most Americans probably didn't know that there are ~100 synagogues in Iran, 30 of which are in Tehran.
As Donald Trumps’ threat of bombing the infrastructure comes close to the deadline. This is what is happening in Iran:
1. 14 million people have volunteered to sit on the bridges, power plants, roads and other infrastructure throughout Iran.
2. These people have already started to gather at these places.
3. World has never seen such an act of bravery from any nation where ordinary people are risking their lives to save their country.
UNBELIEVABLE. Simply Unbelievable.
MALAYSIA PERKENALKAN DIESEL DARI KELAPA SAWIT
FELDA memperkenalkan minyak alternatif bernama B100 susulan krisis bekalan minyak ketika ini
Minyak itu sepenuhnya daripada kelapa sawit dan merupakan minyak biodiesel pertama di dunia tidak menggunakan elemen minyak fosil
Harga minyak B100 ini dianggarkan RM 4.40 seliter dan lebih murah dari harga diesel ketika ini sekitar RM 6.02 seliter. Pengeluaran Kelapa Sawit sebanyak 20 Juta Tan setahun membolehkan bekalan B100 diberikan cukup untuk keperluan Diesel rakyat Malaysia dari segi teorinya
Namun cabaran utama minyak ini ialah kapasiti pengeluaran yang tidak sebanyak minyak diesel dan permintaan yang rendah
FELDA mencadangkan agar Kerajaan mula memperkenalkan minyak ini di semua stesen minyak dan FELDA sendiri akan mula mengoperasikan minyak ini di semua kilangnya dan elemen logistiknya selepas selesai ujian selama 15 bulan dan 15,000 km perjalanan
No matter which country you’re from, must watch this video.
Vladimir Putin has passed a law declaring that any Russian who grows or sells genetically modified food will be treated as a terrorist.
To encourage organic farming, land is given free to people who grow organic food.
Sauerkraut's resume keeps getting more impressive.
According to Dr. Sina McCullough, sauerkraut juice given to cows degraded glyphosate in the rumen & made them less prone to spreading botulism.
And sauerkraut juice sprayed on soil showed an 80-90% reduction in glyphosate!
It didn’t just remove the glyphosate. It broke it down!
Eat your ferments!

Finally, an Arab country has taken a strong decision
Qatar is the first Gulf country to take the decision to withdraw US forces from its lands
Qatar's Foreign Minister, from the moment he came out, spoke and said that Qatar has paid a heavy price for the presence of foreign forces on its land
Qatar's relationship with Iran is a relationship of brothers and siblings, and we will not allow it to be harmed again through Qatari lands
America has broken all its promises with us and only thinks about itself, and in the end, Qatar is the biggest loser
If America were truly thinking about Qatar's interests, it would respect its decision not to trespass on any country, but it seems it's only exploiting our lands to protect another country.
Qatar has finally surpassed its shaabowa, hopefully the rest of the Gulf countries follow 👏👏👏👏 👏
I think I know why everything sucks...
...and it's because everything is fake
We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs.
We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research.
We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products.
We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything.
We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves.
We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage.
We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real.
We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat.
We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments.
We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths.
We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months.
We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made.
IT. IS. ALL. FAKE.
And we all yearn for what was once real.
Don't you remember? Did you forget?
There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract.
When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does!
When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them.
When a family could live off a single income.
When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it.
When schools was HARD... and that was the point!
When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house,
When you bought something once... and it was yours forever.
When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad.
And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.
This photo is of a lighter from the American soldiers of the Vietnam War. The inscription reads, "We the unwilling, led by the unqualified to kill the unfortunate, die for the ungrateful." Perhaps these words capture well the essence of that war through the eyes of a soldier. The essence of many wars, maybe including the current one! #war
🇲🇾🇮🇷A Malaysian tankers permitted to pass through the strait of Hormuz will be exempt from paying any tolls imposed by Iran, Malaysia’s transport minister, Anthony Loke, said on Tuesday.
Malaysia said over the weekend that the tankers – owned by petroleum giant Petronas, Sapura Energy and maritime firm MISC – were awaiting clearance to safely sail through the narrow waterway, which has effectively been closed by Tehran as leverage in the war, started by the US and Israel on 28 February.
“No, this is a complete no... The Iranian ambassador (to Malaysia) has mentioned this, no toll being imposed on Malaysian vessels,” Loke told reporters earlier today.
“We are a friendly party. We have a good diplomatic relationship with the Iranian government.”
