I mean, I've been on it now three, four months, man. I mean, it's just, I can't get over how good I feel. People are raving about it. People who are trying it, they know because you can feel it. We'd not be without it. Call now. Toll free at 1-877-927-6648. Now your hosts, Niko Dahan and Paige Clark. Good morning. I'm Niko Dahan. Welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle, where we explore a return to a more balanced and natural wild world to recover our natural health and regain our rights and freedoms. And it's a beautiful morning in St. Petersburg. It's 69 degrees. It'll be 49 by tomorrow 62. We're in wintertime here. It's rather nice, a little muggy, but everything's good. I'd like to welcome you to the show and remind you to pick up our Health Signals newsletter. I have a new one out right now. It starts with too much screen times. That can harm your brain development. But I have a lot more in here. I invite you to go through it. Different changes in what we think of meat, pink slime in our ground beef. Things are not looking too well here. Beyond meat, of course, the fake meats are prominent in our society today. Plant-based meat is about to get cheaper. Right now it's more expensive. Russian, this is kind of interesting. Russian dairy farmers gave cows VR goggles to make them think they're out in the field instead of in a barn and seeing if their milk is any better. Human breast milk may help babies tell the time and, in other words, sink them up to the circadian rhythms from their mom and the magic mushrooms. I had a lot of a little bit of debate about this magic mushroom stuff. Of course, they're talking about normal mushrooms too, but there's a section here about the magic mushrooms and microdosing. I had some questions about microdosing, so I have another article I'm going to put in there. I'm not going to show it to you now. It's really long and involved, but it's going to be good. It'll be in the next newsletter. So that's that. Today I really want to talk about Christmas. Also, I remind you to please pick up our primalizer one-shot wonder. If you want to start off your year with something really healthy, this is the stuff that'll bring it to you. It's all powered by phobic and humic acid, which means that the good stuff goes in, the bad stuff goes out, and that's what we want. I want to talk today about Christmas around the world. You know, I'm from a different culture myself, I moved to England in Holland, and then moving at a young age, about six years old, to Canada, and then at about 18, I moved to the United States. So I've got really three countries, two kind of the same, but let's go down the list a little bit and see what... And I'm primarily interested in not only the culture and the customs, but some of the foods that they serve at those times. So let's start with Angola. Christmas is a big celebration in Angola. Over 50% of the populations are Catholic, with at least another 25%. Some other kind of Christians. So going to church on Christmas Day is important. There are midnight mass services on Christmas Eve and also a mass on Christmas Day. The main Christmas meal is eaten on Christmas Day or after the Christmas Day church service. Friends and family visit. Each other's houses and guests are always welcome. People often save up through the year so they can afford special foods for the Christmas meal. In rural parts of Angola, families might rear animals especially to eat at Christmas time. The traditional meal consists of pariel. It's a type of corn meal or cassava flour. A little meal right there. It's served with maybe rice, spaghetti, french fries, turkey, fried chicken and dishes like ozoldi, di, bakali, which is cooked cold fish and vegetable. It's served with rice, spaghetti, french fries, turkey, fried chicken and dishes like ozoldi, di, bakali, cooked cold fish and vegetables. It doesn't sound too good. And there's another dish made from fish and beef with tomatoes, garlic, okra, sweet potatoes. I think that might be what you're seeing here. Oh, this is the dessert. This is the Bora rye cake due to Angola's historic connection with Portugal. It's especially popular in the cities. The main decorations for the houses will be the nativity scene. Yeah, giving gifts is common in the cities. More common than in rural areas. Big shops in the cities also decorate with lights for Christmas. Okay. Let's go to another one here. I'm not going to do each one of these things, but I think it's interesting. Let's go to Australia. See what our southern neighbors are about. Australia, of course, it's summertime there. It comes at the beginning of the summer holidays. From mid-December to early February. So people might even be camping at Christmas. Big camping in Australia, for sure. Because it's so hot at Christmas time, there are often massive bush fires across the countries. Many people volunteer to get rid of these fires. The Australians hang wreaths on their front doors and sometimes go out on Christmas caroling. Singing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve, people also decorate their homes with gardens with the Christmas trees and Christmas lights. Even neighbors will get into little competitions who has the best display. The neighbors often visit each other and look at the lights display at night. Sometimes the displays are put out as early as December 1st. Well, we get that beat here. We go by Halloween here. Australians also decorate their homes with bunches of Christmas bush. That's a native Australian tree with small green leaves and cream colored flowers. Let's get to the food. I guess there's not much food in here. On Boxing Day, we have in Canada too and that's the day after Christmas and that's when everybody gets rid of their boxes. People go to visit friends often to have barbecues at the beach. A famous yacht race from Sydney to Hobart in Tasmania is always held on Boxing Day. Most families try to be home together. I don't see anything about food on this one. Okay, so they don't eat in Australia maybe. Let's go to Ethiopia. That's a completely different culture. Let's see what they have there. Ethiopia. And especially Ethiopian Catholic Church celebrates Christmas on January 7th not December 25th. The Ethiopian calendar has different months and Christmas is on the 29th of Tassus. Many other Orthodox churches around the world also celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January. Something I never knew. Let's see. Many people take part in a special advent fast during the 43 days before Christmas. That's a long fast. It starts 25th of November as known as the Fast of the Prophets. During this time traditionally only one vegan meal is eaten each day so it's not complete fast. It's a vegan meal because during the fast foods including meat, dairy and eggs and wine weren't eaten. For Ghana people get dressed in white. Most people wear traditional garment called a natela. It's a thin white cotton piece of cloth with brightly colored stripes across the back. And they have a picture of that here. Design of the Ethiopian churches similar to the houses in the country they often very old and have been carved out of rock. Modern churches are built on three cities. Three circles, excuse me, in each other. They are called traditional Christmas foods including what, W-A-T which is a thick and spicy stew that contains meat, vegetables sometimes eggs. What is eaten on a plate with a flatbread. Pieces of the flatbread is called injera. Okay, so I'd like to remind you please do two things.

Now St. Nicholas days on the 6th of December but the Netherlands has the major celebrations are always held on the 5th which is St. Nicholas Eve the name Sinterklaas comes from the name Sinterklaas which they touch use it all started the second Saturday of November which is the first Saturday after the 11th of November when Sinterklaas travels to a city or town in the Netherlands that's tradition says that St. Nicholas lives in Madrid Spain and every year he chooses a different harbor to arrive in the Netherlands so many children as possible can get a chance to see him Sinterklaas travels with his servants called Swarta Pete Black Pete and it's interesting because it was Black Pete all you know for years and years and now some of the left has come in and said we can't use Black people so why don't we call them Swarta Pete or Sutta Pete so Sutta Pete would be Sutta Pete in other words he comes down to chimney he's got all kinds of Sutta on him and now there's kind of a tradition some of them are still Black Pete some of them now are the Sutta Pete and that's where the fight is so it's kind of silly these are just traditions and you know I don't think it does any harm Sinterklaas travels with these guys and Sinterklaas is dressed in his red robes and I have a picture of him here a rather royal guy and when the Pete's Black Pete's and Sinterklaas come ashore from the steamboat all the local churches ring in celebration Sinterklaas is dressed in his red robes leads the procession through the town riding a white horse every town in the Netherlands has a Sinterklaas helpers dressed as the same as Sinterklaas kind of the same as Sinterklaas right who help give the presence out sometimes you might see more than Svarta Svarta Pete and with the Sinterklaas more Black Pete's a lot of times there's more than one children are torred that the Black Pete keep a record of all things that are done in the past year in a big book and children, the good children will be given presents by Sinterklaas but bad children will be put in the sack and Svarta Pete takes them back to Spain for a year to teach them how to behave whoa there's a real controversy there on the evening that Sinterklaas arrives in the Netherlands, children leave a shoe out by the fireplace, I remember that and I remember mine was a wooden shoe sometimes a window cell or on a window cell and sometimes they sing Sinterklaas songs they hope the Sinterklaas will come during the night with presents they also believe if they leave some hay and carrots in their shoes for Sinterklaas's horse they will leave some sweets in a small present they're told that during the night Sinterklaas rides on the roof sun on his horse and that a Svarta Pete will then climb down the chimney or through a window and put the presents or the candy in their shoes many families, the children are told that Sinterklaas and Black Pete make a weekly visit so children leave their shoe by the fireplace or a window every Saturday until the main party begins the evening of December 5th is called St. Nicholas Eve or Sinterklaas whatever it is the children will receive their presents during the evening they've always had that on Christmas Eve there might be a knock at the door and you might see a full sack of presents well, let's see 6th of December is the birthday of Sinterklaas he leaves the Netherlands by steamboat by the way of the entrance of the port of Rotterdam which is Europe's largest port and they have some different things of course there's different traditions here surprise, presents are given on St. Nicholas Day so we really didn't give out presents on St. Nicholas Day at all we did that during the Sinterklaas Day so Sinterklaas was different than the religious holiday in Holland was much more important than mixing up the two here we have Santa Claus coming on the same day that Jesus is born and things like that in Dutch Happy Merry Christmas can be said to blah blah blah I thought now we'd go to my second calling which was Canada let's see if I can find that Canada, let's see if there's anything special in Canada there we go right there Christmas in Canada very large country, people of very different cultures because of this there's a lot of different Christmas traditions in Canada many of the traditions, celebrations come from French, English, Irish, Scottish, German Norwegian and Ukraine and of course the First Nations people too people in Canada send Christmas cards to friends and family many Canadians open their gifts on Christmas Eve we always did that some only opened their stockings on Christmas Eve and others choose one gift to open and then the rest on Christmas Day it was a real culture shock for me when I was first married in the United States back in 1965 the first Christmas was over at my parents' lot house and of course we had this big tradition in our house and of the presents one by one so each of us could see what was being open and everybody, there was a la la la nice little celebration with each one and I got used to that and so I remember that first Christmas with my in-laws and I'm sitting at the table and we are all eating breakfast and then her dad says okay let's open presents everybody runs through the tree and starts ripping everything and I'm just sitting there because I'm not used to this thing so they had all their presents open like 10 or 15 minutes and they're sitting there huffing and puffing and looking at stuff and I hadn't even opened anything they say what's wrong with you so Trish editions are just funny that way I was rather shocked I was like oh my god it's a different culture so my thinking was oh these people are barbarians they don't really care about the gifts just care about their own we cared about each other's gifts but who knows what's up anyway okay so the main Christmas meal in Canada is often roast turkey with vegetables and all the trimmings like mashed potatoes and vegetables traditional famous Christmas desserts include Christmas plum puddings and minced meat Christmas crackers are often popular with many people in Canada as well and one thing we did in Holland I remember if you got a piece of chocolate written in your initial for some reason in Holland that was a tradition if you got that you were concerned very special and every year I got the N if it's your initial that's really even better people from different backgrounds in Canada have their favorite foods at Christmas a lot of people go skiing, skating, tobogganing or possible if there's snow and usually there is Canadian chiller also believe in Santa Claus Canadians are especially proud to say that the country is the home of Santa Claus Santa Claus Parade in Toronto is one of the oldest and largest Santa Parades in the world it started in 1913 the children along the route followed Santa and marched along with him it's been taking place over a hundred years and now a huge event kind of like the parade for the Macy's Parade I guess it is Eastern Canada province of Nova Scotia is known all over the world for its fur and pine Christmas trees let's see there's lots of different traditions in Canada too and they have their candies here all the different kinds of desserts many people of French descent have a huge feast or party on Christmas called Revalon that lasts well into the early hours of Christmas morning after taking part in Christmas Eve Mass when people are at the Midgide Mass they hope that Santa will visit their house and leave gifts for their children the traditional Christmas meals for people in Quebec is a stew made of some pigs feet many people have a venison or a port or beef I got a lot more Christmas I'll be right

article here WhyChristmas.com and it talks about all the Christmases around the world I'm going to do a couple more of these Christmas in China in China only 1% of the people are Christians so most people only know a few things about Christmas because of this Christmas is often only celebrated in major cities in these big cities there are Christmas trees lights and other decorations in the streets in department stores etc Santa Claus is called Shin Dan Dan Leo Ren and has gratos in shops like in Europe and in America the postman might dress up as Santa when delivering letters before Christmas more young people are celebrating Christmas in cities where Christmas parties are becoming popular and it's also time when the young couples will be gifts to each other like on Valentine's Day like a little lover swap in Chinese Christmas let's see only a few people have a Christmas tree if people have a tree it's normal to have a plastic one and might be decorated with paper chains paper flowers and paper lagerings they call that the tree of light the Christmas trees that most people see are in the shopping malls the strange thing is that most of the world's plastic Christmas trees and Christmas decorations are made in China but the people making them might not have decorations like them in their own home at Christmas time a tradition that's become popular on Christmas Eve is giving apples many stores of apples wrapped up in Christmas colored Christmas paper for sale people give apples on Christmas Day because Christmas Chinese Christmas Eve is called pinyi meaning peaceful or quiet evening which translate from the carol silent night the word for apple in Mandarin is pingu sounds like a word for peace people do go caroling although not many people understand what the heck they're singing people who are Christians in China go to special services going to Mass it's become very popular the other one I'd like to read from is Russia because I know nothing about that there we go Russia days of the Soviet Union Christmas was not celebrated very much New Year's was made into an important time following the revolution in 1917 Christmas was banned as a religious holiday in 1929 and Christmas trees were banned until 1935 when they turned into New Year's trees people didn't want to celebrate Christmas they did it in a secret with just their families after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 people were free to celebrate Christmas again but still quieter and smaller holiday than it is anywhere else New Year's is also when grandfather Frost known in Russia as dead moraz brings presents to children he's always accompanied by his granddaughter on New Year's Eve children hold hands making a circle around the Christmas tree when they appear let's see Christmas in Russia is normally celebrated on January 7th okay the date is different because the Russian Orthodox Church uses the old Julian calendar for the religious days that must be what they use also this is a pretty picture here of Cathedral some people fast completely until the first star appears in the night sky they ate kind of porridge made from wheat or rice served with honey, poppy seeds, fruit especially berries and dried fruit like raisins chopped walnuts other popular Christmas Eve foods include beet root soup, borsch or vegan potluck served with individual vegetable pies often with cabbage, potato and mushrooms they also use sauerkraut porridge dishes such as buckwheat with fried onions fried mushrooms salads are made from vegetables like mushrooms, maybe tomatoes also potatoes or root vegetable salads meal consists of 12 dishes representing the 12 disciples of Jesus following the meals they have prayers, a lot of people go to church they often don't wash their dishes until they get back that might be before a.m. the main meal in Christmas Day is often more of a feast with dishes like roast pork and goose meat dumplings they have fruit pies the Russian Christmas Cookies are called Kozala are made the shape of a sheep goat or a deer in some areas children go caroling singing around the homes of the friends and family and there's a lot more in here anyway I want to put this in the newsletter for us so you can go to all these different countries if you wish there it's in the health signals newsletter there's another tradition that I wanted to talk about briefly and it's a Dutch tradition bring that up okay so this is called Nixon and that's not our former president the art of purposely doing nothing doing nothing but with a purpose to do nothing or no purpose at all may help decrease anxiety bring creativity to the surface and boost productivity the Dutch have perfected the practice of doing nothing or Nixon so well that's there some of the happiest people in the world and there you go I encourage you to loosen your concept of time and productivity and practice this simple exercise from the Netherlands allowing your brain to rewire from stress by doing nothing is a wellness practice worth implementing if you're sitting in a cafe you can indulge in some stress busting Nixon but sipping your coffee and looking out the window this is definitely a tradition in Holland I remember talking about this with my dad and he says that's one of the real prize things about Holland is just sitting around doing nothing for a while and in this day and age I think it becomes more important because when I do this now just sitting around doing nothing I'm always just going for that phone again or the iPad or doing something in fact now it seems like I want to do two things at once you know watch TV and the iPads there the phones nearby maybe have a book it's just crazy so we've got to simplify things and this is the reason I brought this to your attention there's this author of this has studied the practices of the happiest people on earth and wherever they reside in the blue zones people often find ways to downshift the daily they are not immune to stress but they have routines that help to minimize and shed that stress in Ikea they take daily naps in Okonawa they find time to think of their ancestors in Sardinia they meet friends and neighbors for daily happy hours the Dutch have simpler lifestyle habits which helps them keep them at the top of the satisfaction starts we know Dutch children are some of the happiest in the world and Holland also enjoys some of what our research shows builds the happiest society the shorter average work day national health care and a reduction for the university system so if myelin exercises and meditations are leaving you wonder if you're doing them right don't overthink it set a time to sit and stare out the window allowing yourself to wander

TV that's TFNN.com then hit watch Tiger TV for the latest market information welcome back to the show I have a new article here called plants in myth informative air borer oh yes wonder if the vegetarians are going to like this stress plants show altered phenotypes including changes in color smell and shape yet the possibility that plants emit airborne sounds when stress similar to many animals has not been investigated until now here we showed to our knowledge for the first time that stress plants emit airborne sounds that can be recorded remotely both in acoustic chambers and in greenhouses we recorded 65 ultrasonic sounds 10 cms from tomato and tobacco plants implying that these sounds could be detected by some organisms from up to several meters away we developed machine learning models that were capable of distinguishing between plant sounds and general noises and identifying the condition of the plants dry cut and intact based solely on the emitted sounds our results suggest that animals humans and possibly even other plants could emit sounds or could use sounds emitted by a plant to gain information about the plant's condition more investigation on plant bio acoustics in general and on sound emissions in plants in particular may open new avenues for understanding plants and their actions with the environment and may have significant impacts on agriculture so kind of interesting that plants do probably have feelings too so you know there's so little we know it always boggles the mind when you find out new things are coming to light or maybe they're screaming when they're being cut I don't know here's another article scientists discover marijuana may have a surprising effect on sperm of weeds many effects on the bodies marijuana's impact on sperm is probably the least obvious and the most elusive this research on weed and sperm is contradictory at best some hint that could have benefits for sperm production others suggest it takes a negative toll but in September 2019 scientists got a little closer to understanding what exactly marijuana does to sperm when the scientists analyzed this teculous tissue and these burn samples from a small sample of 15 men they found the cannaboid receptors or the cannaboids as well as the cannaboid receptors and the enzymes needed to break down those chemicals down their findings were published in the scientific reports so these cannaboids and newer transmitters resemble cannabinoids that the chemicals that occur naturally in cannabis the body's system extends from the gut to the brain and the results demonstrate that this system extends all the way into the sperm making machinery too scientists found traces of this into the tissue and they also found genetic transcripts coded for these receptors and evidence that the enzymes that break down these chemicals in germ cells then those are the cells that become sperm so he says people like me have for generations been focusing on the hormone aspects but overlooked the possibility that these compounds may participate in normal sperm and hormone production the presence of these in endocannaboids begs a new question what happens when they flood that system with more of these chemicals when you smoke weeds right now the scientists aren't sure it may come down to the actual amount you smoke they noted from 365 men that had smoked weed before had higher sperm counts and that's 297 who hadn't smoked before then then 297 lower levels of marijuana could benefit sperm production low levels of marijuana because of its effect on the anacannaboid system they also play a role in fertility but these benefits are lost with the higher levels of marijuana consumption and this kind of works for just about every kind of drug doesn't it take a little bit there seems to benefit take too much and maybe the benefits are gone who knows so let's go on I've got a little bit more here of course here's the guide for the micro dosing I wanted to definitely let you know about this one so this is pretty comprehensive guide from the third wave a website that is of course suggesting that micro dosing can be good for many different people and this will be of course in the newsletter but they have a good table of context and it really goes to how to do the micro dosing itself and how to keep it and how long you should keep it and how often you should be doing it and it's you know they kind of say skip a couple of days so I'll put this in the newsletter I'm not going to go over it now it's really just too comprehensive but I think it's a good guide if anybody's interested in micro dosing with the psilocybin if you have anxiety I think this might be something that would be useful to you I'll put that into the health signals newsletter right now something else I want to talk about yeah this one right here Egypt will be the first country to have these different types of forests that are vertical and you know with the prime the solar minimum maybe just around the corner when it's going to really affect the food production this may be another way to get our food production in sync this is of course doing this because it's in cities to save space but also they're saying to soak up some of the pollutants and this is what trees have been good at and this is why we you know when we cut down forests in land it's it's really not good for the planet the concept took off in 2014 with a pair of residential 110 and 76 meter tall buildings with over 900 trees and 20,000 smaller plants pretty amazing huh so the plants and trees in this forest city are expected to annually absorb 10,000 tons of CO2 and 50,000 tons of pollutants while producing 900 tons of oxygen so a real benefit some more pictures down here look at that so this would be good for the people in the buildings too I mean there's nothing like going through the forest and smelling this so if you're in a building and you've got trees and shrubs and things like that then you're smelling that that's the ozone that we like so this is a real good system and I think agriculture is going to go this way too we're going to have to find places even underground perhaps to farm if our farming areas are moving and right now it seems to be doing that already if you go into Iowa Utah Kansas City and things like that things are getting flooded there's too much participation crops are still in the ground hopefully some of those will be saved by spring time when it falls but if we had another spring like we had this year of course that spring was extended with snow and people couldn't harvest even the spring crops so you know a lot of these crops who sit over they sit in the fields over the winter time are still pretty good you can probably get about 75% if you can get them back out and then they're dried out so we need more of stuff like this for sure so I'd like to remind you first of all to please pick up our health signals newsletter and also our one shot
