Continue Reading… Author Liz Moody | Life by Daily Burn Selected by iversue While we’re all about the bone broth craze that has swept the nation, sometimes it’s nice to have vegetarian options. We’ve found a winner in this nourishing sea broth from Mafalda Pinto Leite’s Radiant: The Cookbook. According to Leite, a nutritionist, “Broths are so healing and easy to digest. You can make them with all sorts of vegetables, but be sure to use kombu and shiitake as the base. They both contain beneficial properties that boost the immune system, nourish the brain, and offer a unique depth of flavor.” The sea vegetables in this also offer a wonderful way to bring balance to your hormones on a daily basis, while the miso adds an umami-rich hit of gut-healing probiotics. Use it as a base for soups, to cook grains or quinoa in, or simply sip some straight as a type of savory tea to warm yourself up daily. Sea Vegetable Broth Makes about 2½ quarts Ingredients 10 cups water 8 dried kombu strips 1 cup dried shiitake mushrooms, sliced or whole 1 celery stalk, chopped 2 shallots, skin removed and quartered 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger 1 tablespoon chopped fresh turmeric Small handful of fresh cilantro, whole 2 tablespoons sesame oil 3 green onions, sliced ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro 2 garlic cloves,

This Hospital In A Norwegian Forest Is Taking Nature Is The Best Medicine To The Next Level

3 min read

January 20, 2019 Here’s what you need to know. Continue Reading… Author Caroline Muggia | Life by Daily Burn Selected by iversue For years we’ve understood the benefits of spending time in nature. Studies show it can strengthen your immune system, protect against cancer, and reduce pain. Besides the physiological advantages, research points to links between getting outside and improvements in symptoms of depression and anxiety and greater happiness. But despite this knowledge, healing, when it comes to health care facilities, has been a bit more clinical. A new care center in the Norwegian Forest is out to change all that with the creation of a physical healing space designated to bring nature’s benefits to hospital patients—and their loved ones. Psychologist Maren Østvold Lindheim, the Friluftssykehuset Foundation, and the Oslo University Hospital have opened an outdoor care center in the forest designed by famous architecture firm Snøhetta. The idea came after Maren noticed that her patients were responding well to spending time outside but knew some patients would not be well enough to actually be outside. In response, they designed cabins that reflected the outdoors—spaces that even immune-compromised patients could visit. The outdoor center features minimalist wooden cabins that integrate seamlessly into the environment—providing skylights for sunlight to pour into the space, walls that smell of wood, and a comfortable space for patients, family, and friends to be together away from the conventional hospital setting. The center is located only a few hundred feet from the Oslo University Hospital so

January 19, 2019 at 11:00PM This spectacle can shift power balances and net you some coveted attention. Continue Reading… Author The AstroTwins | Life by Daily Burn Selected by iversue At 10:36 p.m. EST this Sunday, January 20, the Earth will be perfectly positioned between the Sun and the moon, casting a blood-red shadow across la luna. With decent weather conditions, the super blood Wolf Moon lunar eclipse should be visible to anyone in the Americas and Europe, and you’ll be able to view it with the naked eye. Astrogeek tidbit: The red glow effect is known as “Rayleigh scattering” and will be visible until 3:49 a.m. EST on January 21—with moon becoming officially full at 12:15 a.m. EST at 0º 52” Leo. If you live in North America, this one is worth staying up for, especially since there won’t be another total eclipse until May 2021. Because this event occurs in January, it is also known as a Wolf Moon, so named by indigenous tribes for the howling of gathering wolf packs that is common in North America at this time of year. This would NOT be the best night to try to open a deep dialogue. And talk about unleashing the fierce! This is actually the final Leo eclipse in a series that began on February 10, 2017—and included the stunning Leo total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, the one that got you craftily making cereal box viewers or scrambling to order a pair of special eclipse

Why Is There Still A Stigma Around Non-Monogamy?

8 min read

January 19, 2019 at 10:00PM The psychology behind why people fear consensual non-monogamy. Continue Reading… Author Kelly Gonsalves | Life by Daily Burn Selected by iversue Consensual non-monogamy is on the rise. Research shows one in five people engage in some form of CNM (which includes polyamory, open relationships, swinging, and other relationship configurations that allow for intimacy between more than two people) at some point in their lives. Experts estimate about 4 to 5 percent of Americans are in some form of CNM relationship at any given point in time, which is about the same amount of Americans who identify as LGBT. Although there’s still a long, long way to go, a huge global movement has helped lift up LGBTQ people and made the fight for their rights, social acceptance, and inclusion become central to the idea of social justice, feminism, and progressivism. But for people in CNM relationships, that wholehearted embrace still has yet to come. Take a recent study from the journal Sexuality Research and Social Policy that revealed how people tend to dehumanize those in CNM relationships. Researchers asked 455 straight people to evaluate a series of hypothetical couples, including some monogamous, some consensually non-monogamous, some straight, and some gay. CNM couples were described in less human terms—they were seen as having less love, compassion, and remorse and as having more “animalistic” emotions like lust and fear. People in CNM relationships were even more dehumanized than gay men, suggesting people might have even more prejudice against
