Spencer 🐶 and I wanted to wish you a Happy July! A slower month for many of us. Hopefully taking some time out in nature 🦋🌿 and at least dipping your toes in 💧 water. Recharging batteries. In August we are off to new adventures in Portugal but more about this later. “Sometimes rest is the most productive thing you can do for your body and soul”

Have you heard about the new trend earthing or grounding? This involves walking barefooted 🦶in nature. At the beach, in the park or anywhere else you feel comfortable taking your shoes off. It’s the latest wellbeing trend. A study by the University of California Irvine has suggested that skin-to-earth contact could have many potential benefits, including reduced inflammation and pain and increased blood flow. This is because the earth is loaded with electrons that have an antioxidant effect. You have to spend at least 30 minutes barefoot to get the benefits 🌿
For your eyes only. To maintain eye health, go for goji berries. Just a handful of goji berries have been found to help improve the density of the protective pigments in your eyes. At the University of California people aged 45-65 participated in a trial that found that those eating 28g (a handful) of goji berries five days a week for 90 days had an improvement in the protective pigments that filter out blue light and act as a sunscreen for the eyes. Another group took specific eye health supplements, but their levels of this protective pigment remained the same by the end of the study. So go ahead, go for some gojis 🌿
Summer is around the corner! This is the right time to start preparing your skin by building up moisture levels for the forth coming exposure towards summer sun. The benefit of starting early is that all new skincells will have optimum levels of moist, elasticity. And by so, your sun tan will last much longer and your skin will not get dryed out as fast, when exposed towards sun light, not over exposed. We highly recommend our body moisturizer, Boddy Buddy. Rich as a body butter but still fluid enough to pass as a lotion. Every ingredient carefully picked to obtain deeply moisturized skin boosted with all botanical components that the skin benefits from, without compromising our planet. Boddy Buddy. 💚💚💚

I think we all know that broccoli is a super healthy food. But did you know that broccoli sprouts are even healthier and have 50-100 times more healing properties than the broccoli plant. The sprouts are three-to-five-day old broccoli plants. They are a great source of vitamins, minerals full of protein, fibres, and phytochemicals.
Broccoli sprouts provide around 100 times more glucoraphanin. Glucoraphanin converts into the phytochemical sulforaphane. Studies show that Sulforaphane may protect against cancer, reduce inflammation, protect against some brain conditions like stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and improve autism conditions. It may improve digestive health, heart health, lower blood sugar levels and improve joint health. Broccoli sprouts protect your skin from sun damage, reduce wrinkles, increase the elasticity in skin and strengthen hair follicles while slowing down the aging process. The sprouts are easy to grow but must be carefully washed as they are prone to bacterial contamination. I prefer to use organic broccoli sprout powder. It has a umami flavour and improves any dish but also great as a topping on popcorn and in smoothies.
