"My neighbour Ann, a retired special ed teacher, goes the extra mile for her community. On her neighbourhood walks she notices blocked drains, or dangerous pavements on school routes and spends time phoning the Council to get them fixed. She is part of a local group that petitioned for new school crossings on Takanini School Road. She volunteers at the local school for free maths tuition. She sets a really great example of looking out for her community and makes the world a better place."

Microbiome is the source of all life. Without microbiome none of these will exist - healthy soils, nutrient-dense food, our digestive gut health and human health.
Humans are increasingly suffering from chronic diseases from very young age. Leaky gut, gluten sensitivity, coeliac disease, auto immune disorders, autism, brain fog, anxiety, eczema - to name a few.

I am sharing below a blog post, that will give you a deeper knowledge as well as understanding about your microbiome and gut health. Hope this inspires you further in your health journey and to contribute to nourishing our mother earth.

So the last few weeks, I've been hearing loud bikes and cars revving excessively, tyres squealing, from early in the morning to late at night.

Has a race track been opened somewhere on the shore that I am not aware of?
