A growing body of research suggests that trees may be suffering from long-term exposure to radiofrequency radiation emitted by cell phone towers.

A nine-year German study showed trees closest to towers experienced greater damage, especially on the side facing the source.

Other research links RF radiation to reduced growth, leaf injury, and oxidative stress in plants.

While the radiation is non-ionizing and the science remains debated, trees are continuously exposed and unable to move away, making them vulnerable. As wireless networks expand, concerns over their ecological impact are rising.

Frozen blueberries can indeed be healthier than fresh ones due to their increased concentration of anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties.

Anthocyanins, responsible for the fruit’s deep blue color, combat oxidative stress and inflammation, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. When blueberries are frozen, the freezing process breaks down cell walls, making these compounds more bioavailable.

This means the body can absorb them more effectively compared to fresh blueberries, where anthocyanins remain more bound within the fruit’s structure.

Studies suggest that freezing enhances anthocyanin content by up to 50% in some cases, as the process concentrates these compounds while preserving the fruit’s nutritional integrity. Freezing also halts enzymatic activity that degrades nutrients over time in fresh produce, locking in vitamins like C and A, as well as fiber.

Unlike fresh blueberries, which may lose nutrients during transport or storage, frozen ones are typically processed at peak ripeness, ensuring maximum nutrient retention. Additionally, frozen blueberries are convenient, available year-round, and often more affordable, making them an accessible health food.

While both fresh and frozen blueberries are nutritious, the freezing process gives frozen ones an edge in delivering disease-fighting antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, making them a potent choice for health-conscious diets.

I have felt this sensation every time I have been around horses

Recent studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math provide a clue to explain the two-way ′′healing′′ that occurs when we're close to horses.
According to researchers, the heart has an electromagnetic field larger than the brain: a magnetometer can measure the energy field of the heart that radiates from 2.4 meters to 3 meters around the human body.
While this is certainly significant, perhaps more impressive than the electromagnetic field projected by the heart of a horse is five times larger than that of a human being (imagine an electromagnetic sphere around the horse) and it can influence straight into our own heart rate.
Horses are also likely to have what science has identified as a "coherent′′ heart rate (heart rate pattern) that explains why we can feel better when we're close to them. Studies have found a coherent heart pattern or HRV to be a solid measure of well-being and consistent with emotional states of calm and joy-that is, we exhibit such patterns when we feel positive emotions.
A coherent heart pattern is indicative of a system that can recover and adapt to stressful situations very efficiently. Many times, we just need to be in the presence of horses to feel a sense of well-being and peace.
In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits by interacting with horses, including lower blood pressure and heart rate, higher beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters acting as pain suppressors), decreased stress levels, decreased feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, better social working; and greater feelings of empowerment, confidence, patience and self-efficacy.
