Happy Monday my friend,

As always, we’ve got recipes, superfoods, and tips for mind, body, and spirit. 😊

And scroll down to check out the vegan gummies from US grown hemp (a crop that can benefit our future across several industries). ⬇️

🌎 BE THE CHANGE: Did you know? Earth Day has only been around since the 1970s— and Arturo Sandoval of New Mexico, United States, helped organize it into existence. He talks about its potent impact here, and how it was sparked by the largest single protest in American history: 20M people in over 10k different places! Learn about the ripple that Earth Day, even in its earliest beginnings, still has today.

🥗 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: If you’re struggling with salad fatigue, this Greek Orzo Salad brings a fresh and healthy reset with some unique Mediterranean ingredients: kalamata olives, cucumber, and orzo (I skip the feta, but you do you)! Technically a pasta salad (but with far fewer calories), orzo is a dainty pasta that makes this a light yet filling dish with its rice-like texture— and comes in non-gluten options, too.

🦆 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: You’ll have a hard time believing that the next popular superfood…. comes from a pond! Called “duckweed” or “water lentils,” this high protein plant grows aquatically as an almost seed- or grain-like food. Demand for it is surging among major food chains. Even better: it takes less energy to grow, and doubles its volume in 2-3 days! Read how this superfood could offer an alternative for some foods.

There’s still stigma around CBD – but times are changing. With the right dose, I’ve had better focus, mood, and sleep.

Check out today’s sponsor, CBDistillery, a Colorado company making vegan gummies from US grown hemp. ⬇️

🗣️ MIND: Scientists are discovering that the mind changes drastically when experiencing conflict or opposing views with another person. What’s more, it’s changed even more in recent years: due to increase in virtual socialization and isolation starting with the pandemic. And it’s hitting teens the hardest. Read how the human mind struggles with the concept of “healthy disagreement,” and what we can do about it.

🍵 BODY: Drinking tea is undeniably good for the body. And yet, some tea bags may now be an extremely unhealthy culprit for microplastics! According to scientists, certain tea bags— including those made of cellulose, thought to be “healthier”— release potentially billions of microplastic particles per milliliter of hot water when steeped. That’s a lot! The good news: you don’t need a tea bag to enjoy tea. Read this article to discover ways to avoid this chemical danger! *Our own ECL tea box is the world’s first Regenerative Organic tea and bio-based bag.

🪦 SPIRIT: Does the spirit endure after death? Could reincarnation be real? This article revisits scientific evidence supporting reincarnation thus far: including studies at the Monroe Institute, the U.S. Army, tests of psychic abilities, and beyond. Read these spine-chilling accounts that suggest the human spirit comes from someplace else entirely… and still remains a mystery!

We should never ‘fall in love’ with a belief that keeps us from expanding. Experience is a teacher of changing ideas.
