got milk

GOT MILK
babies gotta have milk
of course
breast feeding is the best source for them
then
after they are too old for moms breast milk
around 3-4 yrs old for some
sooner for most
they transition to milk from cows
Image result for kids drinking milk
why do they need milk
vitamin d and calcium
i know in my practice before i retired i found quite
a few kids who were significantly vitamin d deficient
no sun
no milk product intake
no outside activities
you need sun to make vitamin d in the skin

now it seems yes its needed in the young
but
it appears to be useful in the elderly also

a research study from the university of kansas
showed that elderly folks who drank milk
had high levels of glutathione in the brain

the glutathione works as an antoxidant in the brain
to protect brain cells
it scavenges the free radicals that appear in the brain
by things like lack of exercise mental stress pollution
poor diet etc all of which lowers glutathione
increasing the levels in the brain via milk intake
improves our brains health

milk is the best way to raise these levels of glutathione
in the past i would say blue bell ice cream
but for now i would wait on that source

so got milk
Image result for milk carton
yes 3 cups a day
if you are milk sensitive eat milk whey protein
youll improve your memory

FYI
tomorrow on the central texas gardener on klru at 1200 noon
or 400pm a raised garden i put in at a habitat house is shown
on the segment by daphe midway into the show
its a few seconds of recognition

i sent the picture to ask about whether it was ok to use
cinder blocks in raised beds
their consensus was yes its safe
thats not on the segment though

here is a youtube link to the segment

i have also talked personally to some of the organic
garden gurus in this area who say its safe

as one said
i use them in my garden and in the community gardens
you get more pollution from going outside breathing
the air than you ever would from using these blocks
in the garden

whats your youth worth

WHATS YOUR YOUTH WORTH



this am i saw this on facebook
thanks mb

of course
i had to tally up my money accumulated in my youth
some of the events were funny or fun
but
some were not something i would be proud of today

we learn from our past and our mistakes
hopefully
becoming a better person as we get older

luckily for me and my siblings
we seemed to all have gotten better

so out of the 20 things i scored 14
but
thank goodness i lived in a rural area where folks
were more tolerate of youthful indiscretions

heck
now you cant get by with anything
get yourself sent to jail or alternative school

alternative school
where i went that meant going down to the principals
office
and
getting you alternative school treatment

my times have changed some
for the better
im not so sure

so heres my total income from my youth
and
i did one of my siblings since that sibling was always
doing this stuff with me

me-$170
sibling now this is only a guesstimate-$110

so total up yourself or your kids
and
dont feel bad if the dollar amount is high

after all
both of us siblings turned out to be successful
in our careers

yes
there is always hope for the future

mothers day

MOTHERS DAY
today is mothers day
mother earth day
Image result for earth day 2015
after doing my two hours each morning on the internet
nowhere did i see anything about today
being earth day

well google did have that spinning earth when i did
a google search
but it was the only site i saw it mentioned

there is an old native american tradition
if you take something from mother earth
you must put something back

we havent been good about this
we give things back
like
more and more pollution
dumping all kinds of poison in our environment
sucking up all or natural resources even though
they will never be replaced
cutting down tree after tree and not replacing them
remember trees suck up the carbon dioxide from
the air

if you ever watch a fish out of water
or
a person with severe empysema
thats what happens when a person gets too
much carbon dioxide
Image result for emphysema
will we all be emphysemic
or

be like a fish out
of water
one day
eventually wiping us all out

now i have counted 15 trees
good trees
ive planted here at the country n

its an all organic and poison free environment around here
no pollution at all
all excess is recycled
even the brush is piled up not to burn
or is mulched to be used on the property
we generate some of our electricity via solar
soon to double its size
we capture our own rainwater to use for drinking
and irrigation
we raise our own eggs
much of our own vegetables
we leave the 9 acres of  pasture land alone
letting nature doing its thing
seeing more and more wildlife on our property

so taking care of our little earth here at the country n
we can see a change for the good in the last several years

we meaning the whole world
needs to save and take care of this earth
we aint got another one
mess this one up
and
we dont get another chance

we will all be left gasping and gasping
if we dont
