Are you wondering what the real origins of “The Mediterranan Diet” are? This article highlights the relationship with nature, real food and community that are at the heart of the Cretan diet which gave birth to The Mediterranan Diet. 🕊️Ty for sharing - my mouth is watering 💕

Traditional Cretan food comes directly from farm to table for an authentic slow food experience at Dounias Taverna. Dounias offers a perfect marriage of agrotourism (or agritourism) and food tourism in a scenic, rustic setting. At this traditional Greek taverna, dishes from the Cretan diet revive th

🕊️Blessings for a fabulous 2026! I’m making 2026 the year of the olive tree, for soooo many reasons ….
The olive tree in mythology was a gift from the goddess Athena that won her patronage of the city of Athens in Greece. She beat out Poseidon, the god of the sea with this practical and wise gift of the olive tree that allowed the people to thrive in health, wealth, and wellbeing.
To this day the olive tree is still a symbol of
🕊️Peace - a dove carrying and Olive Branch signaled to Noah of the Ark in the Bible that land was near and the destruction was over. It was also the symbol of the Pax (peace) Romana.
✨Prosperity- the olive tree gives soooo much to us from its wood to its olive oil- which is used for cooking and health, benefits, and even oil lamps, and even the olive leaves can be used for its antiviral properties. Planting olive trees is also sustainable for the Earth.
🦉Wisdom- Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom and of war. Her gift embodies the wisdom that only in peace can there be prosperity, health and wellbeing. In her wisdom, extending “an olive branch” is a powerful symbol of reconciliation and the end of conflict.

The olive tree represents a desire for harmony and a peaceful future as it was used as an offer a truce in war and a return to fruitful existence.
In Ancient Greece, wreaths of olive leaves were used to crown Olympic athletes in a symbol of victory. While in Ancient Rome, generals were crowned with olive wreaths to show they restored peace which is the most victorious accomplishment for humanity a leader can give.

Ingredients: Lentils, garlic, chicken broth, extra virgin olive oil, crushed tomatoes, dried orange peel, oregano, bay leaf, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice to squeeze on at the end (to prevent gas).

Deuterium?! Fascinating
- a stable isotope of the element hydrogen aka “ heavy hydrogen”
-found mainly in water
- seeps into plant and animals by the water we/they ingest and we eat in varying amounts.
- “ has an effect on chemical bonds,
chemical reactions, and biochemical processes in the body.”

This heavy hydrogen that makes water remember us by creating a “fingerprint” that can be used to track our biochemistry and so much more may also be important in nutrition, health and disease.

Can a low deuterium diet due to eating “good” fats like grass fed meat and olive oil and less sugar and flour affect health and tumor growth? More in this article…
More to come in this new field call DEUTENOMICS ……. 🤓from the greek word (-deuteros means 2nd and -ome meaning whole or group)

Feeling grateful for all of you and for mother nature's continued provisions for food and medicine. 😍
Thanksgiving is everyday in the authentic Mediterranean Diet and Lifestyle because taking time to enjoy delicious natural home made food with love shared with our family or community is a daily ritual in this iconic dieta. This daily ritual is more difficult to do with our busy lives and so I am grateful for those quiet conscious moments when we take time off to enjoy nature's bounty and each other with joyful reverence.
How we nurture our land, it's crops, our community and especially pregnant mamas that make a huge sacrifice to reign in a new generation is key to their health and well being as well as our future.
Today, I would also like to share an amazing narrative review of many research studies that showed pregnant mommas that eat fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds, some dairy, less animal meat and processed foods, wild caught seafood and use extra virgin olive oil as their main oil in alignment with the Mediterranean Diet patterns was associated with improved maternal psychological health and well-being (including postpartum depression), postpartum weight loss, glucose metabolism (includes risk of gestational diabetes), and a healthier fatty acid profile of their human breast milk.


Let's do what we can to have access to organically grown, grass-fed, free range, natural and minimally processed agricultural products that we can afford to make us and generations to come healthier and happier.

Nutrition plays a crucial role during pregnancy and lactation, influencing maternal and infant health, as well as human milk (HM) composition.
