"Pira" (Amaranthus) | Biochemical Composition and Benefits for Human Health

The word "Pira" is a voice taken from the language of the Cumanagoto, an indigenous people belonging to the Caribbean who lived in central and eastern Venezuela

I share information about this herb of high nutritional value that I grow in my garden, it is an excellent ally in the preparation of my meals and it is also an extraordinary brain oxygenator.

Process in Making Tuba. Tuba is a Red Wine Made of Coconut. Tuba is known in Leyte, Philippines

Hi everyone,

I said to my #introduceyourself blog I will share in my next blog here in hive the life I have in our province. I am wish you will support me here and for my future blogs.

All lives of the people around the world changed because of pandemic happening all over. Same with me, my life changed. From being a maintenance staff in one of the public school in our town, I become jobless. To make my family survive in our daily lives, I am finding ways how to feed my family. I am catching fish in the river near us for a dish to serve in our table. Sometimes I have catched fish enough for my family's food. Sometimes not enough for one meal of my family. Weather weather lang ika nga ni Kuya Kim. I will share in my other blogs the catches fish I have.

Making and Sharing For A Better World

Hi Ecotrain community!

Todays post is all about helping each other out and sharing just because we are all connected. All the same family. These two bees met up in my kitchen and immediately started cleaning each other. It was beautiful to watch, they spent 4 or 5 minutes grooming each others heads and bodies.

Now we aren't bees and I don't expect you to stop someone you pass in the street to clean them in any way but look out around you in your neighbourhood for who might be needing help in some way or even help that you can mutually benefit from.

Our journey into the night

Humans are such complicated beings that when there are no points to a good discussion, we argue with ourselves about topics that reveal us internally and tone down our lights and shadows. Therefore, it is difficult to define the line that separates a judgment from an observation because they are intermingled and will appear to be what emerges in the optics of the receiver.

Many times, we want to express our point of view with no more encouragement than to make a simple comment, about a simple situation and a bomb of negative emotions explodes more because of misinterpretations than because of bad intentions. And we are astonished by the destructive power that some badly combined words generate at a time when our dictionary did not succeed in emitting the right meaning to a feeling.

The most powerful relationships available to us all

Friendship and allies who are there to assist you in times of trouble, may well be the unrecognised gift for anyone on the way. Actually there are five primary positive relationships to be shared among us, according to the ancient Vedic literature of India. They are as follows:

Neutrality
Servitude
Parental
Friendship
Love

Neutrality alludes to the relationship you may have with an inanimate object of any sort. There is little more one can do to deepen our relationship with our objects which surround us, but the relationship still exists, and is usually purely functional. There is no reciprocation from the objects in any conscious way, as much as we may like to anthropomorphise them. Even the Moon appears close tonight but I will never have any more than a functional relationship with it. Sometimes we like to give our car a name but the car will never come when you call it. It is neutral.

ecoTrain Question Of The Week #14: What is the biggest question or mystery in your life that until now you haven't had the answer to?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if when we die we can find out the answers to ALL those big and small questions and niggles that we never found out about during our lives. It could be something totally trivial, but something that you never found the truth out about, or it could be a major event or happening that changed our world.. corona virus would be a good example, as would many other conspiracy theories. There is of course the ultimate question, who am i, what is god, and many other esoteric ponderings that have occupied the minds of some of the greatest thinkers in our history. Maybe you made a huge life changing decision, or maybe you didn't, and you will never know how things would have turned out if you have made a different choice!

So this week let us see what has perplexed you in this life! Looking back at my life, i can think of quite a few seemingly trivial things that i have never learned the answer to, and I know I most likely never will. Its quite funny to me how its actually those small simple little things that can really effect me much more than the very big things. SO please do feel free to share even the most silly sounding thing that you really wish you knew the answer to!

Did you know....

August is "Simple Vegan Cooking On A Budget Month!" Big up-votes from ecoTrain and OCDB for your posts!

This August ecoTrain is promoting healthy vegan cooking! Even those of us who do eat well most of the time can always use a bit of inspiration and new ideas. In these times of lockdown and many people struggling to earn money to survive it is important to look after our health in many ways...and our diet is probably one of the easiest and best ways to keep our physical and mental / emotional health in check. So for the month of August ecoTrain is inviting you to share a healthy recipe with us that you personally love and can make at home.
