SUGAR IN YOUR MIND

FIRST SUMMER HARVEST

This morning I got up at 7, like every morning, but this time I immediately went to the garden to collect the first vegetables of the summer. Obviously I cooked everything following my grandmother's instructions, that is, I didn't change the water in the pot. And this water will eventually be filtered and used to drink it and purify the body, or to make a good detox soup. If you can cook everything in clay pots everything will be healthier and better.

Those who have a garden should make the most of it. Grow all useful and healthy things for food. Especially if you have small children, try to make them eat natural vegetables and vegetable broths, not bought at the supermarket. Believe me these vegetables cleanse the body, help detoxify it, create a better balance and an important inner well-being.

INSTAGRAM CREATES EATING DISORDERS

ZUCKERBERG is aware that Instagram is dangerous to the mental health of teenage girls. The social media of photos with filters, bought by Facebook for a billion dollars in 2010, seems to have devastating effects on the psyche of many teen-agers. According to research, commissioned by Mark Zuckerberg's own company, one in three girls with an Instagram account develops perception disorders of their own body. And even all the groups analyzed spontaneously accused social media of causing them anxiety and an increase in depressive tendencies. A disaster. Especially if placed in a potential context: some time ago, in fact, Facebook has long toyed with the idea of ​​proposing a version of Instagram for children under 13. ZUCKERBERG was fully aware of the damage Instagram created to teenagers, while pushing for an app dedicated to under 13s.
This research on the effects of Instagram was done by the Menlo Park company, revealed by the WSJ, and shows that Zuckerberg's company is aware that photo social can lead to eating disorders and depression. But it does nothing to fix it. 

FOOD THAT HELPS CANCER

An excess of carbohydrates can turn into palmitic acid in the liver, one of the most aggressive against the arterial walls ”, continues Rossi. Therefore, not only the saturated fats contained in the foods mentioned above, we must also pay attention to the consumption of simple sugars and refined carbohydrates. For example, we are invaded by fructose, contained in the corn syrup present in many industrial foods. That corn also used in intensive farming as animal feed and which we indirectly take in through the consumption of meat. We experience pollution from excess palmitic acid, we pollute ourselves with this substance. The influence of palimitic acid is therefore to be extended to various pathologies, since it contributes to a state of insulin resistance, contributing to the onset of diabetes, hinders the activity of the hypothalamus that controls the pituitary, with negative consequences also on the thyroid, continues the expert

The good news is that there are numerous foods that can counteract the action of this substance. Like the aforementioned extra virgin olive oil. It is not for nothing that the US FDA has allowed extra virgin olive oil - thanks to oleic acid - to be advertised as a preventive against cardiovascular diseases; or it is essential to consume foods rich in "carotenoids which are antagonistic molecules of palmitic acid, contained for example in carrots, squash, tomatoes; yes to the consumption of vegetables, all to be eaten preferably cooked to benefit from this action.

A recent study entitled "Dietary palmitic acid promotes a prometastatic memory via Schwann cells" has further questioned the healthiness of palmitic acid, positively correlating it to the growth of some tumors.
Published in the well-known journal "Nature", the experiment was conducted by scientists from the "Barcelona Biomedical Research Institute" and "Worldwide Cancer Research", and led by Salvador Aznar-Benitah.
Regarding the possible impact promoting growth and metastasis, the experiment mentioned above confirms that, in mice, tumor cells fed with palmitic acid increase faster in number and gain a certain metastatic potential, they become overall more difficult to treat.

AMEN

Thanks to my father, I have learned to screw those who think that the world should rotate as their head says, or worse it should rotate around itself. Three sentences and a few attitudes are enough to identify self-reported assholes, a few more behaviors for sneaky or victimized ones. It is not presumption, they are years of parasitization and direct experience with those who do not observe themselves, and in this life they will never do it. Get it out of your head that you can support their path by absorbing their garbage. The sooner you recognize them the sooner you take back your freedom. Nobody can help them, because 95% of the time it's not a solution they are looking for. They just want to pour the non-sense of their existence onto the neighbor (and in that non-sense there can be anything).
Precisely because they turn the root of their problems to everything but themselves, they are unable to be responsible for the harm they do to them and to those around them.
Even if you tell them. It applies to all relationships, know that.

Manzoni  ( ALESSANDRO MANZONI, a famous italian writer of XIX  century) had not seen the plague, but he had studied documents after documents. And then he describes the madness, the psychosis, the absurd theories about its origin, about the remedies. It describes the scene of a foreigner (a "tourist") in Milan who touches a wall of the cathedral and is lynched by the crowd because he is accused of spreading the disease. But there is one thing that Manzoni describes well, above all, and that he takes up from Boccaccio: the moment of trial, of discrimination, between humanity and inhumanity. Boccaccio had indeed seen the plague. He had seen friends, loved ones, relatives, even his father, die. And Boccaccio explains to us that the most terrible effect of the plague was the destruction of civilized life. Because the neighbor began to hate the neighbor, the brother began to hate the brother, and even the children abandoned their parents. The plague pitted men against each other. He replied with the Decameron, the greatest hymn to life and good civilization. Manzoni responded with faith and culture, which do not avoid trouble but, he said, taught how to deal with them. In general, they both responded in a similar way: inviting us to be human, to remain human, when the world goes mad.

Health without Freedom is what is guaranteed to Farm Animals. . This is why they define you as “Herd”. FREEDOM is not a luxury, it is not an extra, an ornament that embellishes if there is, but in short, precisely if one can afford it or else something more comes first concrete.. NO! FREEDOM is your right to live, to work, to be happy, to express yourself, to be there .. what’s more concrete than your right to be there ..? Sometimes I would like to find an arrow indicating “free life”. I don’t know, maybe in the process of some woods, where the light filters through and the heat doesn’t kill you. A kind of guarantee that you are going to meet like-minded people there. People to talk to about everything but vaccines, governments and passes. Just talk to. A place you reach to express absolutely nothing, no opinion, no point of view on hundreds of points of view by now worn and tired. The only thing that sometimes matters is the need for sharing among similar people. Vibrate in the same tribe. Simply because it feels good to be together on the road. Stay in touch with those who look like you and aren’t afraid to hug. Talking without a muzzle, talking about good things, without someone having to convince the other and the other having to defend who knows what. Talk about what seeds you planted, what bullshit you did, the music you wrote or the love at first sight that got you. Thus, without having to find that prosaic sense to the questions of living, the more you think about it the more they have nothing to do with Life.

Yes it’s true, it seems to never end. It seems that humanity is condemned to an eternal struggle just to buy bread. It seems. Lately I often answer with a phrase that I said to myself when I was working, giving exams and in the meantime I had my father in hospital for cancer. Be grateful that you can fight, because you mean you are Alive. No matter how long the fight seems, it is the purpose and the mood with which you face it that make it appear to be war or peace. Choose your path and you will no longer have any doubts that that bread tastes sublime. The whole system is made in such a way that man, without even realizing it, begins as a child to enter a mentality that prevents him from thinking anything else. It turns out that there is no longer a need for dictatorship now, because the dictatorship is that of school, of television, of what they teach you. Turn off the television and gain freedom. Even the way you dress and the haircut you wear makes you realize that you really don’t choose anything. Already becoming aware of this would show the world in other terms.

Keep walking, when you realize it you will already be with your buttocks on the ground, in that uncomfortable position that the puppets hold. Immediately after, a long and obstinate reflection begins on the convenience of staying there on the ground. But the companions are already moving away and the path is far from appearing a clear path, obvious. It is not even in question the idea of ​​staying there all life, with the mud filling the soul and the backpack, so that the time comes to get up, a difficult situation and unpredictable in its results. Perhaps it is better to continue to stay on the ground and drag yourself little by little but, in addition to being not very aesthetic, this is impractical (believe me, I have tried it): there will always be a hidden root or a thorn to hold you back, and then a new reflection on the comfort of sitting in the mud, despite the mosquitoes, flies and blue flies. Already determined to get up, which is always the most difficult thing, comes the complicated operation that consists of resting with your hands and knees where it happens and trying to place the heavy hood on your back (so simple, and heavy, is to carry the house on the shoulders: just a plastic sheet and a hammock). But the backpack insists on carrying other absurd things: some poetry books, some clothes, a mismatched sock, medicine for the world, food, a damp blanket … The load as a whole weighs tons (especially after the first hours of walking) and tends to get muddy whenever he feels like it, that is, almost always. By now tortoise face on the ground, it follows the act of putting one foot and getting up on the other, with the consequent protest of the knees; the horizon then widens and will always be foreign. With the eyes on the ground, the march is undertaken again until the next fall, which will occur just a few steps ahead. And history repeats itself …

THE POSITIVE ENERGY

There are few times we dedicate a thought to ourselves.

And I want to specify that it is a wrong thing; we should always give ourselves time and concern!

Precisely for this reason, it is important to have a relationship with our inner self and to get in touch with our compass.

They will always know how to help you and will have the answer ready for any eventuality!


What is the inner compass? And what is it for?
The inner compass allows you to perceive the difference between good and evil, through sensations. There are those who feel them in their stomachs, still others in their hearts.

It helps us make decisions, distinguishing the negative and positive sides of something or someone.

At best, it guides us in all our actions.

How do we get in touch with our inner compass?
☞︎︎︎ To allow our inner compass to contact us, it is important to start accepting our every thought and every feeling we experience!

Why should we care about ourselves?

If we don't worry about ourselves, we will never feel compelled to ask ourselves how we are doing.

Remember that we are not our enemies, we must be a figure present in our life. We need ourselves more than anyone else!

Why is it important to know our state of mind?

Our state of mind is a fundamental clue to understand our emotions while carrying out a certain action.

Our emotionality constantly responds to external stimuli and therefore varies continuously.

So, if we don't listen to our emotions, we will never begin to accept ourselves and understand why we sometimes feel bad.

Listening to our feelings and understanding the message they are trying to send us is difficult.

But fortunately it is possible to simplify the work by introducing some questions in our daily life!

What is the first question to ask us?
Since we need to monitor our state of mind, first, let's start asking ourselves, "How am I feeling right now?"

It will help you understand which emotion you need to focus on and work harder on.

How do we "work" on an emotion?
You can start "working" on an emotion, starting to understand what you like and dislike, to do.

To make things even easier for you, start making a mental or written list!
Example :
I like reading.
But I don't like reading non-Romance books.
I like painting.
But I don't like to paint on canvas, I prefer to paint on a watercolor sketchbook.

How do we feel good and accept ourselves?
By starting to talk to yourself and creating real conversations with your inner compass.

Trying to understand what we really like to do through the emotions we feel while carrying out a certain action.

If you feel uncomfortable, or can't talk to yourself mentally. Write it all down on a piece of paper!
Example:
What am I doing?
- "I'm reading a yellow book"
How do I feel right now?
- "Uncomfortable."
Why do I feel uncomfortable?
- "This is the first time I've read a detective story and I don't like the genre very much. But I feel compelled to continue reading."
Why do I keep reading the book if I don't like it? Why do I feel compelled to "keep reading"?
- "Because I'm used to finishing a book. I don't like to hang things up."
What can I do to feel better and help me?
- "Maybe I could start reading another book of a kind that I frequent more and at the same time continue reading the book I am currently reading. In order to make the reading a little lighter and more interesting."
What if it doesn't work?
- "I could read a book review on the internet and just give up reading."

Understanding what we really like to do is important!

Start comparing yourself to help yourself.

SAVE THE BEES

Yesterday’s awakening was a bad awakening for Mattia’s young farm … Millions of dead bees and broken houses. An entire apiary destroyed by someone who took it out on defenseless animals, killing them, crushing them or freezing them from the pouring rain. It took months, perhaps years of care and work to prepare the bees in strength and health for the spring harvest, which was nullified overnight. This serious damage in the first days of flowering of the acacia will not be easily overcome, especially in this complex phase. Despite so much pain and discomfort, we need to find the strength not to give up and try to start again. Thanks to those who are expressing their solidarity with messages of support and those who want to concretely demonstrate it with a donation:

I HAVEN’T SEEN “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL”

I have not seen “Life is beautiful”. And I have not seen “The boy in the striped pajamas”. Do you know why? After seeing “Shindler’s List” I was sick for 3 months. I was in Palermo. I went to Zen and left there all my books, my jewels, my paintings, my clothes, everything I owned. I’ve never told anyone. I managed to get into Zen because I was dressed like a gypsy (they control everything). When I was a little girl and I saw a movie “Amazonia” during the break I went out of the cinema, went to a shop, bought some make-up, went back to the cinema, went to the bathroom and put on my make-up like an Indios. At the end of the film everyone was looking at me as if they had seen an alien. I lay badly for months and months. I wrote desperate letters to the president of Brazil, I wrote to the Pope, many letters that have never been answered. Certain films, about certain truths, make me snap something, and I risk my life. I do absurd things. After seeing “American Sniper” I bought a ticket for Iraq and had to leave. Except that I have health problems and my doctor told me that I would go to die without my drugs. I cannot know of some suffering otherwise I feel too bad and do unthinkable things. When I was 4 they abused me for a long time, and so I know what it feels like when you get great pain. It’s not up to me, I can’t get rid of it.

CHILDREN PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE

Children who are emotionally abused and neglected face similar and sometimes worse mental health problems as children who are physically or sexually abused, yet psychological abuse is rarely addressed in prevention programs or in treating victims, according to a new study published by the American Psychological Association.
“Given the prevalence of childhood psychological abuse and the severity of harm to young victims, it should be at the forefront of mental health and social service training,” said study lead author Joseph Spinazzola, PhD, of The Trauma Center at Justice Resource Institute, Brookline, Massachusetts. The article will appear in a special issue of the APA journal Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy^®.
