Grow your garden therapy
Do you know the benefits of gardening on health? Clearing, watering or shearing calls for so many positions that mobilize the whole body to fortify it. If you own a garden, it's very good, but for those who would be deprived it is quite possible in some places to rent your small garden square in the year. Potting or repotting softens the joints and raking is very good for balance. In addition, studies have shown the positive impact on the health of patients suffering from epilepsy, depression and even Alzheimer's, that is to say! Some coaches have even enrolled in their program a "green gym" that would ensure fitness fit for a fitness session because it would be possible to burn just as many calories. So, you now know what you have to do to shape yourself physically and morally. Written by David

Transitioning to a Fulfilling Community Life
The transition to community living is a significant step in the lives of many people, marked by a shift in priorities and lifestyles. This evolution can be motivated by various factors, such as retirement, relocation, or simply the desire to forge closer ties with the local community.
One key to a successful transition is active engagement in community life. This can take many forms, including volunteering, participating in interest groups, or organizing community events. By positively contributing, deeper connections are formed with neighbors, fostering a sense of belonging.
Open dialogue and communication are also essential in facilitating this transition. Exchanging ideas, needs, and concerns with neighbors and community leaders can help address issues and improve the quality of life for everyone.
By investing in their community, individuals gain enriching relationships and a sense of personal satisfaction that extends beyond the individual to create a stronger social fabric. Written by Zagon
The Benefits of Nature on Our Well-Being
Nature offers a treasure trove of benefits for your physical and mental health. In the modern era, life is increasingly hectic and dominated by technology; it's time to remember the soothing and rejuvenating advantages that nature can offer you.
Spend time outdoors to improve your health. Fresh air and physical activity associated with forest walks or mountain hikes boost your immune system, reduce stress, and promote restful sleep.
Exposure to natural light stimulates the production of vitamin D, essential for bone health and mood regulation.
Mentally, nature has a calming and stress-reducing effect. Simply gazing at a natural landscape can reduce anxiety and enhance concentration. Natural environments facilitate meditation and deep reflection, allowing for inspiration and creative problem-solving.
The benefits of nature are priceless; take the time to reconnect with nature by taking a walk in a park, camping in the great outdoors, or simply spending time in your garden.
Nature offers you an endless source of well-being and vitality; it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. Written by Zagon

How to refresh your house?
When the heat is overwhelming, it is best to make arrangements in the morning, at sunrise. Unlike Julien Clerc's song "Let the sunshine in", we will be careful not to let in the sun to spend a day at home in the best possible conditions. First, close your blinds or shutters leaving a slight gap to filter a little light of life. Have you thought, and this is valid day and night, to stretch a soggy cloth, not too much but just enough, in front of your window? The water evaporates creating a welcome sensation of freshness. In addition, if you have green plants at home, it is good to moisten with a soaked handkerchief or mist, it will spread a little freshness in your room. Finally, ventilate! And open your windows only rarely: early in the morning or late at night. Written by David
Dress your plants for winter!
Winter can sometimes be fatal to plants accustomed to warmer temperatures too, so as not to let the flowers of your balconies or gardens perish, there are different types of protection. One of the most common is mulching, an effective and easy to find insulation: ten centimeters of straw or flax straw will allow the soil and roots, considered the most vulnerable part of the plant, to protect frost. The fern foliage is also a good alternative. For potted plants, prefer a kind of bubble plastic jacket. As for the protection of stems, branches or leaves, it is advisable to cover them with a wintering veil that will allow the air to filter and allow the plants to breathe. On the watering side, we stop everything, except for potted plants during the frost period. Persistent foliage needs some hydration to survive. Written by David
The beauty of snowy landscapes
It is certain the sun, we love it especially when it points the tip of its nose to wrap us warmly. But we must recognize that some sites of our planet become irresistible when the snow comes to put them on... We can only recommend you visit Central Park when it snows big flakes, it becomes quite different, as draped in a white dream. Amsterdam becomes unavoidable when the white dresses and its channels freeze. We put on our ice skates to sneak in and spin gently. Rome is much freer and less crowded with tourists in winter and its Colosseum becomes so much rarer, veiled with innocence. Salzburg, the Austrian city par excellence must be seen at least once in its periods of extreme cold because it has all the magical place out of a fairy tale for children. Written by David
These incredible discoveries under the ice
As we know, the pack ice is melting in some parts of our planet, so researchers have come up with some amazing discoveries. In Siberia, in 2010, they unearthed a female mammoth of a ton that remained 39,000 years in the ice; its body was so well preserved that one could admire its coat and muscle tissue, much to the delight of scientists. For the first time in history, blood was extracted from a prehistoric animal called Yucca. And it was during the melting of the Mendenhall glacier in Alaska that a 1,000-year-old forest appeared. It is a vast expanse of spruces that has become the focus of the team of scientists. More recently, Taku Glacier, south of Juneau, Alaska, has undergone the same process to reveal a poplar forest.
