Benefits of Gardening (0:00:00)
When it comes to taking care of our bodies, giving ourselves a mental rest can change our entire attitude towards the day. For many of us, scrolling through social media is the default mental break we all turn to. But have you ever thought about gardening instead? Planting tomato seeds, fertilizing our lawns, or trimming rose bushes seems like more exhausting work. But, it might just be the mental health activity you need in your life. Joining us is psychologist Dr. Seth Gillihan, to discuss how gardening benefits our mental health.
Five Two Love (0:14:55)
Only 1 in 60 million births are to quintuplets. The number is surprisingly low, even with the development of fertility treatments, such as IVF. So, Skyler and Jamie Scott were definitely not expecting to hear that after years of trying to have another child, they would be having five. The Scotts currently have seven children, five of them being two-year-old quintuplets. They are internet sensations and run a YouTube channel called “Five Two Love” where they vlog about their fun family life and feature their everyday adventures. They join us to talk about their experience raising quintuplets.
Less Meat at Family Meals (0:30:26)
There are lots of opinions out there about the best ways to eat healthier. One of those opinions is the idea that you should include less meat on the dinner table. This might seem unreasonable considering the fact that nutritionists say kids need an average of 40 grams of protein a day or 20 chicken nuggets. You could replace the nuggets with ½ a cup of peanut butter... but surely there are other options. So we invited friend of the show Carrie Ann Rhodes to share her experience with us about eating less meat as a family without sacrificing variety at the dinner table.
Cashless Society (0:50:36)
It seems like every day we’re moving further away from using cash. Checks, then debit and credit cards and now things like Apple Pay have replaced dollar bills and coins as the most popular form of payment.
