Published in Science Advances in October 2020, researchers found that by adding a small green play area to urban playgrounds, they boosted the immunity of the children using the play area. Researchers in Finland added a very small, low cost green area in the corner of …

Grounding, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I recently received a great question from a reader asking me to demonstrate with a ground test meter that I was truly grounded while touching cement. Good idea.

At the end, I show you the very strongest way to ground out of them all â€” yes, an even stronger ground connection than standing barefoot on …

Clutter stops growth and expansion, and it affects your health, both mentally and physically.
