How do you look on the inside? Like a scorched lawn or a lush flower field. The number 30 might be a way to boost your internal biodiversity.

Here's why we need to learn to count to 30

This week, I’ve been playing a counting game. Can I actually get to the number 30? I started noting down what I had eaten on the first day of the week. I had consumed broccoli, spinach, avocado, lemon, ginger, kiwi, banana, blueberries, almonds, walnuts, carrots, plums, canned tomatoes, sweet potatoes, bok choy, borlotti beans, quinoa, cilantro, rye (from rye bread), and chickpeas (from hummus). That totaled up to 19 different plant-based items. Green beans, pumpkin, kale, celery, potatoes, blackberries, and tomatoes were added on the second day, and my goal was reached on the third day with the addition of cauliflower, corn, apples, Brussels sprouts, and green peppers.Oversættelsesdisclaimer
