An old meme but it still makes me smile.

I've been looking through some KYM Darsanam magazines so expect quotes!

A walk to clear the mind and connect with the senses; listening to the birds and enjoying the subtle scent of bluebells.
Kate Barker and I managed to find this quiet woodland space.
The bluebells are too good to miss.

Letting the fresh air in for yoga...
The first time it's been warm enough to open the door, this year.
It feels like a small milestone.

Eating healthy can be eating adventurously and expanding your range of plant foods.
Can you eat 50 different plant foods in a week?

There is strong evidence linking unhealthy diets (especially ultra-processed foods) with illness, chronic disease, and mortality.

Studies show a dose-response relationship i.e. the more processed food eaten, the higher risk of illness.
Each 10% increase in ultra-processed food intake led to a 15% higher mortality risk
This is particularly strong evidence because it comes from a meta-analyses combining multiple studies.
High ultra-processed food intake is linked with faster biological ageing and higher mortality risk.

A huge area of research right now is Gut Microbiome Damage
Ultra-processed foods contain low fibre, high sugar, additives (emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners) and preservatives.
These can alter gut bacteria and reduce beneficial species.
This can lead to leaky gut, immune dysregulation, inflammation, mood disorders, autoimmune conditions and obesity.
Many researchers now believe that the gut microbiome may be the main link between diet and chronic disease.

What is the best and simplest way to improve the gut microbiome?
The research on the gut microbiome is actually quite clear now — the best improvements come from simple dietary diversity and fibre, not expensive supplements.

~~ Thank you ~~
to everyone attending the Yoga and Sound Bath event on Sunday 😁😊🙏
Shifting into Light
So good to share the movement and sound with you ❤️❤️
It was time to move tension out of the body and mind and move energy in. To relax into a steady, calm space.

We are looking forward to holding another in July.
