When people think of living a really long time, they might assume that these extra years would be spent in a state of decrepitude, where the person is not able to live independently and suffers from multiple health issues which significantly decrease their quality of life. Perhaps this misconception creates fear in peoples minds about living to old age? But in reality, for the majority of people who reach 100 years and beyond, their health has been superior to most people and their medical costs are only a fraction of what is normal for the average person. How can this be? …

Is Raw Food Really Better For You Than Cooked Food?

In the raw food community it’s common knowledge that fresh raw food contains more nutrients than cooked food; but is this always the case? And should we always consume raw food instead of cooked food? Well, the short answer is no, and I’ll go into the reasons in this article. Although a vegan diet contains many nutrients that are beneficial to our health, some are better absorbed once the food has been steamed or boiled. This is simply because cooking breaks down the tough cellulose walls, releases the nutrients, and therefore they become more bioavailable to the body. This is why …

Calorie Restriction in Rhesus Monkeys

Since the 1980s, researchers have been conducting an experiment on rhesus monkeys by restricting their calories to see if a calorie restriction diet is beneficial for improving their health and longevity, as it does in other species such as yeast, worms, flies, spiders, rats, mice, dogs, cows, etc. Rhesus monkeys live around 27 years on average and are thought to be the most similar physiologically to humans — so it’s believed the results would be translatable to humans. Pending the final results, I’ll go into what the current findings are and what they could mean for whether or not the work …

Everything seems fine, no transplant shock or any signs of the plant not doing well. The tomatoes are now at the side of my house, 3 of them planted near the trellis to the left and 1 on the right side near the greenhouse. From my estimation, they are getting around 11 hours of sun at the moment. I’ve put one in the garden box because it was the only spot that received 7 hours …

Some success, some failure

Its been a few weeks now since I started to garden and grow my own food. I hope it all works out because this is my first time trying! I’m also doing most of my planting in garden boxes as it seems to be a good way to prevent damage and control growth. So far I’ve had 6 of the 10 strawberry plants grow fine, whereas the other plants had some issues with fungus growing inside the pots and ended up destroying the plant before it could really take off. That’s okay, I think it’s a good success rate for my first …
