Her extensive experience in functional medicine and dedication to guiding clients toward integrative health solutions make her a valuable advocate for those navigating dietary changes, particularly in the face of chronic illness and recovery."Beets are real food. They have real health benefits." ~Jacqui BryanToday on Beating Cancer Daily:· Beets are rich in betaines, powerful phytonutrients with anti-inflammatory properties.· They contain lutein and xanthin, carotenoids that support eye health. These are especially beneficial for those with a family history of macular degeneration. Incorporating beets also supports liver health and detoxification, which is crucial for cancer patients.· Beets enhance heart health because they contain naturally occurring nitrates, which act as vasodilators, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.· Beets' high fiber content aids gut health, regulating blood sugar and managing weight.· Nitrates in beets improve blood flow to the brain, which improves cognitive function. This is especially important for those recovering from treatments like chemotherapy.· Organic beets are recommended to avoid genetically modified crops and maximize nutritional benefits.· Beets can be prepared in various ways, such as roasted, in soups, hummus, or as chips, offering diverse culinary experiences.The #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot and Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News, Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in more than 101 countries on seven continents and has over 350 original daily episodes hosted by stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg!

As thoughts on farms move to fertiliser application, Teagasc specialist Tim Hyde joins Catherine Egan on the Beef Edge podcast for the first of a two-part podcast on the rules and regulations surrounding nitrates. Tim reminds listeners of the open period for chemical fertiliser, farm yard manure and slurry across the different zones, plus he outlines the regulations around roadways, storing bales and buffer zones. Tim then discusses the differences between grassland and whole farm stocking rates and the rules that apply. He describes the low emission slurry spreading for farmers stocked over 130kg organic N/ha and >100kg organic N/ha from 01/01/2025. In relation to P build-up, Tim describes what extra allowances there are for farms stocked over 130kg organic N/ha. For non-derogation farmers that are stocked over 170kg but exported slurry to remain compliant, Tim explains the additional rules that are applicable to these farms. Finally Tim comments on the importance of fertiliser planning to know your allowances for the fertiliser register and to allow for more accurate nutrient management planning. Next week, Mark Plunkett from the Teagasc Signpost programme will go through all the requirements in relation to fertiliser application and the fertiliser register.

Andrew Lewin delves into the issue of the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico caused by runoff from the Mississippi River. Despite efforts to reduce nitrates and phosphates by 20% by 2025, it appears that targets may not be met. Andrew shares his personal and professional connection to this topic, having worked on the hypoxic zone early in his career. Tune in to learn more about the challenges facing the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico and how you can take action to protect our oceans.

This runoff carries excessive nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, from agricultural activities along the river's basin. Upon reaching the Gulf of Mexico, these nutrients fuel the growth of phytoplankton, leading to massive algal blooms. Subsequently, these blooms die and sink to the ocean floor, where bacteria decompose them. This decomposition process consumes oxygen, creating a hypoxic or "dead zone" where oxygen levels are too low to support marine life. The size of the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico fluctuates annually but has been on an upward trend, indicating a worsening situation. This zone poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems by depriving fish, invertebrates, and other marine organisms of the oxygen they need to survive. The expansion of the hypoxic zone is a direct result of human activities, particularly agricultural practices contributing to nutrient runoff into the Mississippi River. Efforts to address the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone include implementing conservation practices to reduce nutrient runoff. These practices, such as cover crops, reduced tillage, and no-till farming methods, aim to minimize the amount of fertilizers and chemicals entering waterways. While some progress has been made in reducing nitrogen loads in the Mississippi River, phosphorus loads have worsened, indicating the need for more comprehensive and effective conservation measures. It is crucial to collaborate with local farmers to promote sustainable agricultural practices that protect water quality and reduce nutrient pollution. By investing in conservation programs, providing technical assistance, and incentivizing farmers to adopt environmentally friendly practices, we can mitigate the harmful effects of nutrient runoff on the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Ultimately, addressing the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone requires a multi-faceted approach that prioritizes environmental conservation, sustainable agriculture, and the protection of marine biodiversity. Efforts to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in the Mississippi River have been crucial in addressing the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico. However, as highlighted in the podcast episode, these efforts have not met the targets set to reduce the nutrient loads entering the river system. Despite some implemented practices showing promise, such as cover crops that help absorb excess nutrients to prevent runoff, there are other practices exacerbating the issue. One concerning practice mentioned in the episode is the over-fertilization of corn acres along the Mississippi River. Farmers, driven by the belief that more fertilizer leads to higher yields, continue to apply excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus to their crops. This over-fertilization contributes to the nutrient loads entering the river, ultimately fueling the growth of phytoplankton in the Gulf of Mexico and leading to the formation of the hypoxic zone. Moreover, the increase in the number of US acres drained with underground tubes, which act as conduits for runoff into streams and rivers, has further exacerbated the problem. The expansion of this infrastructure facilitates the rapid transport of nutrients from agricultural lands into water bodies, including the Mississippi River, intensifying the nutrient pollution issue. These findings underscore the complexity of addressing nutrient pollution in the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. While some conservation practices have shown positive results in reducing nutrient runoff, the persistence of harmful practices like over-fertilization and the expansion of drainage systems pose challenges to achieving the desired reductions in nitrogen and phosphorus levels. It is evident that a comprehensive and collaborative approach involving farmers, policymakers, and conservationists is essential to effectively tackle the nutrient pollution problem and protect the health of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Collaboration with local farmers is essential for improving water quality in the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. The episode highlights the significant impact of agricultural runoff, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers, on the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico. These nutrients lead to excessive phytoplankton growth, which, when decomposed, depletes oxygen levels in the water, creating a hypoxic environment unsuitable for marine life. Implementing conservation practices, such as cover crops and reduced tillage, can help mitigate nutrient runoff from farms into water bodies. However, the episode also acknowledges the challenges faced by farmers, such as reduced crop yields with certain conservation practices. This highlights the importance of providing support and incentives for farmers to adopt sustainable practices that benefit both their livelihoods and the environment. The episode discusses various initiatives and investments by government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, to promote conservation programs and technical assistance for farmers in the Mississippi River basin states. These programs aim to reduce nutrient loss and improve water quality through practices like installing saturated buffers and bioreactors. Furthermore, the episode emphasizes the need for continued collaboration and communication with local farmers to address harmful agricultural practices and promote sustainable solutions. By working together with farmers, researchers, and policymakers, it is possible to implement effective strategies that protect water quality in the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico, benefiting both the environment and the communities that rely on these water bodies for their livelihoods.
