Curiosity, Health, and Learning to Stay Grounded

-

 



A few years ago, I was curious about devices that claimed to read the body through frequencies.


I had one sitting right on my table.  Next to a glass of something nourishing and a bowl of fresh fruit.  It felt like I was doing everything I could to take care of myself. Exploring new ideas.  Staying open. Trying to learn.


I believe curiosity is a good thing.  And I also appreciate something else just as much.  Discernment.


We are living in a time where there is more information about health than ever before.  Some of it is grounded in careful research and measurable results.  Some of it is emerging and still being studied.  And some of it sounds convincing, but does not hold up when you look a little closer.


Ideas about frequencies, energy scans, and quick ways to identify everything happening in the body can sound appealing.  Especially when they promise simple answers.


But science, at least for now, works a little differently.


Reliable medical tools measure things that can be observed and tested.  Blood work, imaging, heart rhythms, and other markers are studied over time to make sure they are accurate and consistent.  Even the most advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, still depend on real, measurable data.


At this point, methods that claim to diagnose the body through undefined frequencies or energy fields are not supported by established scientific evidence as reliable tools.


That does not mean curiosity was a mistake.  It simply means that learning continues.


I can look back at that moment with appreciation.  I was trying.  I was paying attention.  I was willing to explore.


And now, I find myself drawn more to what is steady.


Simple, consistent practices that support health in ways we can see and understand.  Nourishing food.  Water.  Movement.  Rest.  Time with people we care about.  Medical care when it is needed.


These things may not feel as exciting as new ideas or quick answers.  But they are dependable.


Curiosity and discernment can live side by side.  And maybe that is part of growing.  Not losing our openness, but learning how to stay grounded while we keep it.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...
