Benefits of Growing and Eating Fresh Fruit & Vegetables

I Found this Interesting...

Some people are rediscovering a way to implement real change in their lives, community and the world? ... but it's something that many of us do everyday. 

For example, if you want a healthier lifestyle, diet and better tasting food, then create your own garden. Stick to organic whenever possible and do your research to ensure you are not buying products that genetically modified (GMO).

We don’t choose this life that we are born into, but we still always have a choice about what we want to eat. By simply growing your own food you:
  • Drastically increase your independence from a corporate food system.
  • Improve your physical and mental health by providing hands on, outdoor activity for yourself. After all, “Gardening is cheaper than therapy, plus you get tomatoes.” By tending to a garden, you are spending more time outdoors and therefore away from technology, both of which benefit your overall well-being immensely.
  • Directly helping the Earth of its nutrient-rich soil and your our health.
  • Encourage the idea of community in both cities, towns and rural areas, and gain the opportunity to connect with more people and interact face-to-face with other potential changemakers in your city.
  • Work to protect the soil that is still alive and prevent future disaster.
  • Become more financially secure, as you would be potentially cutting down a large portion of your grocery bill. As they say, “Growing your own food is like printing your own money.”
  • Set a great example for others to follow. Leading by example is one of the most effective ways to create a positive change, and it's sure to spark interest of many others, especially if you reach out and consider holding workshops or accepting volunteers to help you.

How Can You Start?
Unfortunately, not everyone lives in a home with a large yard, or enough space for a garden, which means space is a big issue for many people, particularly city dwellers. There are many things you can do to get around this. For example, you could reach out to a friend that has land they aren’t using and offer them free food in exchange for some of their yard space. I don’t know about you, but I’d say that’s a pretty good deal.

If this doesn’t work, or you don’t know anyone with space for a garden, consider looking into community gardens in your city. These are patches of land divided into lots that you can essentially rent out for a season. If your city does not currently have something like this, it is something that is definitely worth taking to your city council and getting it started. Chances are your city will jump right on board with funding for a project such as this.

There are also a number of DIY projects you can check out for an awesome balcony or patio garden, like these pallet gardens, or at the very least you can even just grow your own herbs in your kitchen! http://amzn.to/2hxuBXD
​

If none of these options are available to you, don’t sweat it — there is still a lot you can do. If you still want to be a gardener, but absolutely can’t grow any of your own food, then support your local farmers and markets by buying local. Let your dollar be your political voice and spend it wisely.

If all else fails, then gather up your courage and come visit us in the Philippines. We have lots of fresh, organic food growing all over our shared island paradise. Even better, take an island cruise with Philippines Sailing Tours where they take guests to meet & interact with local fishermen and farmers to get the freshest and tastiest fish, fruit and vegetables - Yum!

My Philippines Vacation Suggestions During the Off Season

Just the idea of spending rainy weather in the Philippines is loathsome to most vacationers as one of the promises of the paradise island besides the sand and sea is the sun.

Nevertheless, there are many travellers who actually love to go the Philippine island during the rainy season because of the cool breeze, fewer tourists, and lower rates in hotels and resorts.

Certainly, there is always something fun to do in the Philippines, even when the weather seems unforgiving.
​
I suggests the following simple yet enjoyable ideas in making the most of the Philippines amid the drizzles.


Travel to Tablas Island on Cebu Pacific and explore Romblon - peaceful, tranquil, adventure and eco friendly. Enjoy a stroll along many of the beautiful secluded white beaches. Many tourists love visiting the island during this season because it is a lot more peaceful with a perfect view of the sprawling horizon and the glorious sunset without getting blocked by hundreds of tourists on other crowded islands.

Taste delicious fare. Many restaurants on Tablas offer a wide array of food choices that caters to everyone’s distinct taste.

Go island hopping. A Philippines vacation is not complete without experiencing island hopping on a yacht or sailboat with
Philippines Sailing Tours. Take a day tour or take a multi-day tour to Enjoy the music, the culture, the food and meeting the locals. 

Experience fun water activities. The rainy season elicits a different kind of thrill especially for windsurfers and kite surfers with the big waves caused by habagat and kites soaring higher.
Philippines Sailing tours offers an introduction to Kitesurfing.all the way to Hero!

Pamper with a relaxing spa. Beat the cold rainy weather with a rejuvenating massage as many hotels and resorts on Tablas & Romblon offer spa services. One of the best relaxing massages and spa treatments one can experience is right at the beachfront.

Rest in the comforts of hotel or resort accommodation. Enjoy a hassle-free and enjoyable vacation in endless choices of that cater to different accommodation needs and budgets.
