Aquaponic revolution

The struggle of surviving is real even in a civilized society.
Growing your food is a essential part of growing more self sufficient.
I will place the plans for a good aqauponicsystem on my site but i wanted to talk about why it is better to grow your own food. And why you can use aqauponics to do that.



Money:
Money is the perfect example for a necessary evil. I don't want to use it but i am forced to earn it and spend it. Because i don't want to live my life as a slave to the bills i try to sustain my own living. When you are growing your own veggie's and fish you will save a lot of money. Here in the Netherlands veggie's and fruits are not that expensive compared to country's like America.
Growing your own food is like printing money but legal.
Think about it your waste product is tasty delicious fish!

Health:
If you are like me concerned about the stuff we are forced to eat on a daily bases like pesticides and various other poisons then growing your own will help. You know what's in your veggie's because you gave it to them. The meat you will eat the fish you harvest are hormones and antibiotics free. The veggie's will be fed a mineral rich and high nutrient diet. Your home grown veggie's and fish will be a good supplement for your own diet.

Nature:
Aquaponics are good for the nature because it's a closed system. You ad food to the fish tank and you eat the fish and some delicious plants. Your auqaponics is a closed Eco system and therefore no pollution and environment friendly.

Compact:
You can grow enough food and fish to feed a family of 4 in 2 cubic meters of space. This system is easily scaled down even usable indoors.

Taste:
The veggies and fruits you are used to where grown in conditions optimalised for profit. It didn't matter if the produce you eat was grown healthy with the right minerals and nutrients they where fed only what made them grow not tastier.
The vegetables your growing in your own garden are full of taste and full of goodies that will fill your stomach and your heart.

Low maintenance
Where traditional farms use soil and have to coop with bacteria and harmful (for plants) animals in the ground you are free of those risks. No tilling the soil measuring levels or spraying pesticides. The only thing you have to do with a aquaponics system is feed your fish. Possibly ones in a while you have to harvest your food and plant new seeds.

conclusion

Aquaponics is a good and clean additive on your standard supermarket diet. Growing enough to feed your family year round is easily possible but i do enjoy my steak and a little pork in a while.
But with this system you will be less dependably of the local supermarket and its just a wonderful and beautiful hobby.

The fight against Sweat The natural way

Today on the left my armpits and on the right sweaty smell..... FIGHT.

I wanted to make my first real post about a problem i am fighting against right now, my sweaty smell.

Last weeks i started to do some research about deodorant and its harmful cocktail of chemicals. Apparantly in normal deo's there are who are not as good for your health as they say.

Of course that's to be expected in our current society where money is the most important good in the world. Manufacturers produce a deodorant which is cheap and effective nothing more nothing healthy.

To prove this i will read from my own deodorant i store with my work clothes to show you the content of a average cheap deo.

After this wake up call what could you put under your arms? 
That's the question i keep asking myself the pas few week what can you do to stop the bad sweaty smell. 
Putting nothing under your arms is not really a option for most of the people. We have our work our social life so what's left?
Finding a alternative looking at our nature 

why are we stinking
We smell bad because of the little bacteria living in our armpits. Our body has a natural way of killing them but in order to do so you need to be perfectly healthy. Admit it nobody is, so to get rid of the smelly smell we need to ditch these bacteria.
That's why deodorant company's put so many harsh chemicals in our deodorant. They are trying to kill those bastards and make sure they stay dead. 

making your own deo
Lukely there are some good working remedies for our Bacterial friends.
  • baking soda
  • essential oils (tea tree, lavender and sandalwood are some i use)
  • oils (like coconut oil)
These ingredients are healthy and good for you. Working with the principle everything you put on your skin you are eating it these ingredients are good to eat (in dose).

One recipe i am using right now is:
  •  3 dinner spoons baking soda
  • 2 dinner spoons coconut oil
  • 20 drops sandalwood
  • 10 drops tea tree 
  • 5 drops lavender
Heath the coconut oil until it melts (around 30 degrees Celsius) 
add the baking soda and the essential oils.
mix it up and put it in somewhere with a wide opening.
Let it cool and you got your own deodorant.

Every morning you put a finger tip of this stuff under your armpits and spread it out.

find your way
Like everything i say try it for yourself if it works. If it doesn't work ad more baking soda if you got a light irritated skin add less baking soda. When you haven't the essential oils you can do without.
Experiment i am not pulling your leash i am just pointing you in a direction.

this deodorant will allow your body's good smelling smells to come out and be sniffed. Your pheromones are your body's way of telling what's up? more on that in one of my next posts about getting your body in a natural sexy state.


Like always
Learn, Love and live

The long journey begins with a single step

Starting a new channel with a website in a language that's not your native one is somewhat difficult.
Mostly because i want to do it right from the start. That's not going to happen i know but i will make the afford.

My idea of making four different youtube channels with four  different types of content has to prove it's worth one day. The scrypts for my first two video's are done that's a start. My website is sort of on air it has no content at the moment but i will work on that.

This blog will be about small finding's thoughts about what is happening in the world and how to cope with it. I knever wrote a blog and i really hope i will create content my readers want to read.
And most of all i hope i create content with a good grammar so you're not offended by it.

If you want to watch how i create a channel and everything from scrap stay tuned. I will create the knowledge you want to learn.
