Family – emotional strings without content
Many have reported struggling with their families the past few months of lock downs and curfews, some saying that they have realized a lot about their families, including wives and husbands who sometimes have had to face that besides the children, they don't have that much in common. We noticed that the calls purporting to … Continue reading Family – emotional strings without content

What is (healthy) food?
At least seventy five percent of the food in supermarkets, even less at most schools and restaurants, is not what we call food at all, in the sense that it’s gene manipulated, pesticide saturated, and additive bloated. It's not very natural at all, not the animal foods either, and the basic rule for staying healthy … Continue reading What is (healthy) food?
Nutrition – 1st of 5 Pillars of Yoga
As most ancient cultures (and often common sense) the Yoga tradition recommends a clean, non-refined plant-based diet to stay healthy.

Leaky Gut – the Root to Illness
Just as our bodies, our digestive system is often taken for granted and quite badly treated by most owners until it breaks. As the immune system is largely in the digestive system the consequences and connections to chronic diseases are clear. The physiological indication that we have harmed our gut is when we see that … Continue reading Leaky Gut – the Root to Illness
Detox Tips – Kidneys
The kidneys and the liver are often seen as the detox organs. I see all organs as detoxing; the gut, the skin, the muscles, the lungs, even the brain. The whole body fights unwanted molecules, and the mind fights unwanted thoughts and emotions. They serve us so beautifully all the time. Talk about love and cooperation! But many … Continue reading Detox Tips – Kidneys
