BellycanTIL there's a vegetable in China created by infecting a type of wild rice with a fungus that makes it grow a fleshy stem instead of flowering to produce grain. 🤯

Wisdom in SpaceThe problem with trying to measure productivity is that it measures only how well people can do the wrong jobs. Any job that can be measured for productivity probably should be eliminated from the list of jobs that people do.

The Role of Fruits and Vegetables in Supporting Mental Health Across Lifespan
Mental health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, influenced by genetics, environment, social factors, and lifestyle habits, including diet. Recent research highlights that diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and other nutrient-dense whole foods are associated with improved mental health outcomes, including lower rates of anxiety and depression across all ages. Studies consistently indicate that dietary patterns like the Mediterranean and MIND diets, which emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and omega‑3–rich foods, support emotional well-being, cognitive health, and stress resilience. Key mechanisms include reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, supporting neurotransmitter function, and promoting a healthy gut-brain axis. Children and adolescents also benefit from consistent access to balanced, fruit- and vegetable-rich meals, which are linked to better mood, optimism, and overall emotional health. Public health recommendations increasingly emphasize integrating dietary guidance into mental health promotion as a practical, preventive approach that can simultaneously reduce chronic disease risk. Overall, consuming at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily can be an accessible and evidence-based strategy to enhance both mental and physical health across the lifespan.

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦The planting beds are built, leveled on some natural flagstone and filled with soil. The top 8 to 10 inches was amended with peat moss, compost from our local recycling centre, and composted cow manure. Mmmm Mmmm good. Harley is ready to chase bunnies and protect the carrots, her favourite.
The mindless hard physical labour is done and now the intelligent workforce takes over. My wife will start planting tomorrow while I'm out golfing.
Lizzie#gardening #vegetables. #homegrown on my day of rest after multiple hard days working in the garden, I planted cucumbers in empty pockets of my grow towers, along with the last of the moss roses nasturtiums, bean bushes and marigolds, plus finished planting a row of EARTHWALKER sun flowers about 9 feet long, and built the stick teepees for the massive numbers of bean and cucumber plants out front. If all goes well with the irrigation system I have in place, this year should be very good
Let your imagination work it’s magic while stacking your vegetables. We liked the mozzarella slices between the red onion and the eggplant as it melted a bit. #recipe #food #cooking #flipboardusergroup #fediverse #vegetables #dinner
