We all need more vegetables in our life, but including them in our core three meals is easier said than done. As it turns out plant-based diets actually work the best when an individual drafts their own guidelines around unique health needs and objectives.

A plan that encourages plant-based meals while allowing room for animal products on occasion is alternatively known as the Flexitarian diet.

Helping Ladders navigate the specifics of an optimal Flexitarian diet is the expertise ofSergeyYoung, founder of the Longevity Vision Fund.

For years Young has dedicated his assets, network connections and global research community toward developing affordable and scientifically proven wellness habits. His self-professed mission is to fund the next phase in the longevity revolution.

In Youngs estimation, the first step begins with debunking the falsehoods keeping too many people from breaking away from their toxic dietary habits.

Young explains to Ladders, You dont need to stick to a vegan or vegetarian diet to reap the health benefits. Focusing on getting the majority of your calories from plant foods without excluding animal products completely will have a positive impact on your health. Some nutrients like EPA and DHA are best obtained from fish, seafood, and eggs.

According to the latest U.S. News & World Report Best Diet Rankings, the regimen Young intimates above is one of the healthiest and easiest to follow of all the many plans currently circulating the diet sphere.

Lowering your intake of processed meats will dramatically improve cognition, reduce your risk for developingType 2 diabetesandheart disease, help regulate weight gain and boost longevity as a consequence of the previously mentioned attributes.

More than the rich sources of energy and protein provided by lean meats like chicken and omega-3 rich sources like fish, allowing room in any regimen for foods you enjoy makes any plan that much more sustainable over time.

With a Flexitarian diet youre getting the macro-nutrients you need from organic sources most of the time but when you want to have maybe a piece of grass-fed steak or even just a piece of steak at a restaurant, or you want to have eggs, you can. It allows room for these other kinds of food without being so hardcore, dietitian Keri Glassman recently told Ladders.

One of the critiques lobed at plant-based diets the most often claims that it isnt plausible to get the majority of the daily calories needed from plants. While its true that even the most balanced plant-based regimens are not as calorically dense as other plans, this isnt necessarily a bad thing.

Young continues, Habits common among areas where people live the longest include a reduced calorie intake and fasting and a25-year study in monkeysfound that eating 30% fewer calories than normal led to a significantly longer life and less age-related diseases. Even if your calorie requirements are higher, youre still able to get enough from other calorie-dense foods like sweet potatoes, nuts, and oils.

Of course, calorie intake is much more about where youre getting your calories than it is about how many calories youre consuming day to day. Protein is the nutrient most often lamented by those skeptical of taking on a plant based diet.

Although not as packed with amino acids, proteins obtained from plants actually contain more nutrients and fiber than protein derived from animal sources.

Tofu (contains about 10 g of protein per cup), lentils (cooked contains 8.84 g of protein per cup) and chickpeas(7.25 g per cup) all on their own sufficiently fuel vegan bodybuildersa group with a protein demand significantly higher than yours and mine.

Make no mistake, its not enough to limit meat intake and increase plant consumption in order to boost longevity. the source matters a great deal. Variety is key to any diet plan.

Local, farm-grown and organic produce nurtured without the use of pesticides, manmade fertilizers or genetic modifications is more nutritious than non-organic commercial foods, Young informed Ladders. Superfoods like maca, spirulina, goji berry, etc. might be marketed as nutritional powerhouses but food variety is even more important than its nutritional density. Its important to make sure you eat a full rainbow of fruits and vegetables for a balanced and varied diet.

Longevity is bolstered by a panoply of physiological factors: optimal brain health, metabolicregulation, weight management, cellular vascular health, cardiovascularhealth, and emotional stability. Every one of these requires balance, especially when it comes to our diet.

Although there arent many studies that have been done on this topic,there appears to be a link showingthat plant-based diets can influence brain function positivity through altered microbial status and systematic metabolic alterations. However, despite the positive effect of plant-based diets on brain health, there is a risk of these diets creating a deficiency in the essential brain nutrient cholinewhich is why some proportion of eggs and other animal-based products must still be kept in your diet, said Young.

Longevity expert says these are the foods you must eat to add years to your life - Ladders

What started as a dozen backyard chickens kept to occupy Jeremy Raffs elderly grandfather has evolved into a statewide chicken, egg and farm enterprise with deep roots in the Lompoc Valley.

Raff and his wife, Megan, own and run Dare 2 Dream Farms off La Salle Canyon Road, west of Lompoc.

The multifaceted, organic operation has many moving partsa majority of them with two or four legs. Among the residents are goats, ducks, wild turkeys and dairy cows. And chickens. Many, many chickens.

Both husband and wife lead by-appointment tours of the farm for area students and the public in general. Theres an on-site farm stand with produce, eggs, honey and baked goods, a Dare 2 Dream weekly CSA, and a booth at the Route One Farmers Market on Sundays in Vandenberg Village.

With the assistance of local chefs and winemakers, the Raffs host true farm-to-table dinners that feature wines paired with outdoor meals that celebrate just-picked produce and a protein source, usually poultry or seafood.

On Oct. 12 of last year, I attended one such event. Kyle and Savanna Knapp poured their Press Gang Cellars wines, and chef Augusto Caudillo of Lompocs former Scratch Kitchen whipped up a feast of farm-fresh kale, roasted butternut squash, tomatoes and bell peppers alongside potato and acorn squash gnocchi; wild turkey (slaughtered that morning); and a dessert of chocolate brittle, farm preserves and honey.

Before we ate, Jeremy Raff led guests on a tour of the farm, past leafy green crops, a cow being milked, and pens with fowl of all shapes and sizes. Against one hillside are homes available for farm stays: So kids can see stars at night and learn about nature, he said.

Four such dinners will take place this year, Megan Raff said. The dates are May 23, Aug. 1, Sept. 12 and Oct. 24.

But lets go back to the chickens, because chickens are the soul of Dare 2 Dream Farms.

Jeremy Raff grew up with his late grandfather, Mike Raff, on the property at 890 La Salle Canyon Road. While the parcel is 42 acres, according to Jeremy Raff, only six are suitable for farming or flocks; the rest are steep old-growth hillsides covered with chaparral.

He met Los Angeles-native Megan while both were students in San Luis Obispo (he at Cuesta College and she at Cal Poly). At that time, the family ranch was overgrown, and Mike Raffs health was failing. On weekends at the ranch, Megan and Jeremy began to overhaul the property, and started a flock of chickens to accompany the elder Raff and keep his attention focused on the farm.

In 2008, two things happened: Jeremy returned to live on the ranch and care for his grandfather, and a big movement toward raising backyard chickens for pets and eggs took hold in California, according to Megan. In 2009, the two founded Dare 2 Dream Farms. Their CSA is six years old, and the farm stand opened four years back.

We experienced organic growth of our site via word of mouth and great customers, she said.

In 2012, the two married. They now have three children: Wyatt, 5, Zoe, 3, and Wade, 9 months.

The farms hands-on growth got a boost when Dare 2 Dream Farms welcomed volunteers who were members of World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, or WWOOF. Some stayed for a few days, and others camped and stayed for months, planting, tending fowl or lending a hand wherever a need arose.

The people come from all walks of life, from students taking a gap year to the simply curious, to Italian doctors to couples traveling, Megan Raff said. And they all leave knowing more about farming and with an appreciation for how food is grown.

While the Raffs might chuckle at that riddle about what came first the chicken or the egg in their case, chickens funded the couples dream to live sustainably on land owned by generations of the Raff family.

Having hundreds of chickens meant pounds and pounds of manure, which helped create healthy compost. In turn, that compost helped grow healthy vegetables, which then nourished another generation of chickens, Megan Raff said.

Word about healthy farm-raised chickens for sale spread north and south from the Lompoc Valley. A Meetup group, Los Angeles Urban Chicken Enthusiasts, contacted Dare 2 Dream, and soon the farm was supplying the entire California coast with backyard chickens, Megan Raff said.

While an employee now is the dedicated Dare 2 Dream chicken delivery person, the Raffs were the initial contacts for backyard enthusiasts. Conversations would segue toward how best to house chickens, and from the couple's advice hatched a steady side business for Jeremy Raff. He builds custom-crafted chicken coops that are delivered to backyards and farms.

The Dare 2 Dream Farms website specifies various categories of chickens for sale, from baby chicks to point of lay hens, ready to produce, as well as roosters. Popular breeds are barred rocks, Easter eggers and Rhode Island reds, and the couple buy chicks from certified hatcheries that guarantee healthy, disease-tested birds, according to Megan Raff.

The average size of a backyard flock is four to eight chickens, and if they are good layers, theyll provide between two and six dozen eggs per week," she said.

The six acres that comprise Dare 2 Dreams level land form a north-south facing canyon. Steep hillsides on three sides mean limited daylight; the crops that thrive there are the brassica vegetable family, she said among them broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts and cabbage. The existing trees are mostly those that produce stone fruits, but the couple will plant red and black raspberries and fig trees this year, she added.

Click here for more information. The farm stand,890 La Salle Canyon Road, is open from 10 a.m. to dusk Tuesday through Sunday. Route One Farmers Market,3745 Constellation Road, is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays.

[Trending] Organic Food Preservatives Market Poised for an Explosive Growth in the Near Future | Key Vendors: Cargill,Incorporated - Sound On Sound...

DUBLIN, Jan. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Tocopherol Market- Growth, Trends And Forecast (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Tocopherol market is forecasted to reach USD 4,211.67 million by 2024 growing at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period (2019-2024).

Health foods have the highest share for the use of tocopherol in the food & beverage industry, due to its wide range of health benefits. It is mostly used in health supplements used for gaining muscle mass.

According to a published study, the regular intake of tocopherol helps in reducing the risk of heart diseases, respiratory disorders, and other lifestyle diseases. The global trend of health consciousness is expected to boost the market for health foods, which inadvertently boosts the growth of the tocopherol market.

Key Market Trends

Strong Demand from Feed Industry

Mixed tocopherol usage in Animal feed industry is booming due to rising concern over animal health. Growing demand for high-quality poultry meat and pork has driven the demand for tocopherol in the feed industry. All-rac-alpha-tocopherol acetate is the most common vitamin E form used to supplement animal feeds.

Application in animal feed has got a huge opportunity in the field of tocopherol. An adequate amount of tocopherol is required in animal nutrition to protect them from malnutrition and pathogen. In addition, the rising concerns of heat stress on animals are also anticipated to boost the use of tocopherol in animal feeds. Thus, with the rise in demand for quality meat and poultry products globally, the demand for the use of tocopherol in animal feed is also expected to increase.

North America Dominated the Global Market

The United States tocopherol market is driven by high demand from feed, functional foods, and dietary supplements sectors. The US consumers exhibited enhanced awareness regarding the health benefits of vitamin-E and its sources due to their beneficial effects. Furthermore, it reduces the probability of pregnancy-related disorders. The US food and beverage industry is experiencing greater demand for tocopherol, due to increased consumption of organic and fortified foods, such as cereals, fruit juices, and spreads.

The Europe tocopherol market is driven by the robust demand projected from the food, cosmetics, personal care, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and animal nutrition sectors. These sectors are using natural and semi-natural antioxidants that are manufactured by using tocopherol.

Competitive Landscape

Archer Daniels Midland, BASF, Cargill, Merck, and DuPont are leading companies and have an extensive product portfolio in tocopherol, with different concentration and grades. These are used as an ingredient in different applications, such as dietary supplements, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and animal feeds.

Davos Life Science has a brand new name, DavosLife E3 (formerly known as Naturale 3), for their range of Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction (TRF) products. This change is part of the company's rebranding initiative. DavosLife E3 TRF contains a complete spectrum of Tocotrienol isomers and a-Tocopherol that have health benefits.

Additionally, even private label players in the market effectively follow product launches, innovation, partnerships, and market expansions for the growth of the market.

If I were a religious man, Id think this was a sign from God.

Swarms of locusts have descended upon East Africa, destroying crops and adding further pressure to a region already faced with massive food insecurity.

According to Oxfam, a large desert locust plague can contain up to 150 million individuals per square kilometer, with half a million locusts weighing approximately one tonne. One tonne of locusts eats as much food in one day as about 10 elephants, 25 camels, or 2,500 people. The insects can destroy at least 200 tonnes of vegetation per day.

The UN has recently ponied up $10 million to help eradicate the locusts with pesticides, and another $70 million is needed to complete the job.

Of course, even after these swarms are eliminated, new ones will return.

Last years irregular weather and climate conditions, which included heavy rains during the last three months of 2019, have contributed to the massive locust invasion. And while a hefty dose of poison will wipe them out today, future generations of locusts, perhaps in even larger numbers, are likely to return as these irregular weather and climate conditions become the norm.

But as I noted last week, with every crisis comes an opportunity.

Although this recent plague of locusts is destroying entire crops throughout East Africa, the reality is that this region was already dealing with a level of food insecurity that most in the West could never even imagine.

The locusts are just one more heavy burden being placed on a population already battling the strain of hunger and starvation.

Spraying most of East Africa with pesticides is really only going to serve as a temporary measure of relief to a region that clearly needs a more long-term solution, a solution that can ensure a steady flow of food that wont be put at risk by the realities of a changing climate.

This solution is called

Simply put, cellular agriculture is the production of agricultural products from cell cultures.

Foods produced from cell cultures are exactly the same produced from animals and plants. The only difference is how theyre made.

While the idea of growing food in a lab may seem strange or foreign, the reality is that this is whats going to help feed a lot of hungry people in the future particularly those living in regions that are most susceptible to the results of climate change.

And this isnt science fiction or some lofty goal thats 50 years from reality.

Labs have been making huge strides in not only growing food, but drastically cutting the costs to do so. Its entirely possible that within five years, the cost to grow food in a lab will be cheaper than growing and producing it the old-fashioned way.

It should also be noted that theres a lot of money to be made in lab-grown food.

A couple of weeks ago, we learned that Memphis Meats, one of the more well-known players in the lab-grown meat space, raised $161 million.

Some of the folks who ponied up for a piece of this action include: Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Kimbal Musk, the brother of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. Cargill and Tyson Foods also have a few million invested, too.

To date, Memphis Meats has created cell-based beef meatballs, chicken, and duck.

Theres also another very cool cell-based food maker thats doing some amazing things with seafood.

The company is called BlueNalu, and just last month it demonstrated its first commercial product yellowtail amberjack with chefs preparing the fish using various cooking techniques.

Heres a picture of BlueNalu Corporate Chef Gerard Viverito demonstrating the companys whole-muscle, cell-based yellowtail thats beer battered and deep fried for fish tacos.

Following the demonstration, BlueNalu was able to show that its product performs the same way as a conventional fish fillet in all cooking applications. It can be cooked via direct heat, steamed, or even fried in oil. It can also be prepared in a raw state or acidified for ceviche or poke.

An interesting observation made by the companys chef was that he didnt have to worry about bones, fish scales, or having to throw away any unused fish parts.

To date, BlueNalu has raised $25 million.

Again, this isnt science fiction.

This is all very real, its happening right now, and soon, lab-grown food will serve as a valuable solution to hunger and food insecurity.

As we gear up to adapt to a rapidly changing climate, lab-grown meat, and the companies that provide it, will prove to be incredibly valuable, and of course, excellent investment opportunities.

To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth...

The second season of Netflix's "You" takes place in Los Angeles, California, where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) gets a new job working in the book department of a trendy grocery store known as Anavrin.

In the show, Anavrin is a high-end food market owned by the Quinn family and operated by siblings Love (Victoria Pedretti) and Forty Quinn (James Nicholas Scully). The fictional grocery store's shelves are stocked with plenty of green juices and organic produce as an ode to Los Angeles' health and wellness culture.

While Anavrin is fictional, it seems to have been inspired by a real health-conscious grocery store chain in Los Angeles called Erewhon, which has become popular thanks to its wide selection of organic, local, and sustainable foods.

I stopped by the Erewhon location in Venice Beach, California, to see how it compares to Anavrin.

Eating out has always been associated with unhealthy food. But, here's a restaurant that brings together taste and health in a taut harmony. Fire, at the luxury hotel -The Park, is just the place where all the dust-up between the bon vivant and salubrious freak in you can be dusted off. With an extensive menu brimming with seasonal goodness from organic produce, Fire puts together a delicious fare to remember. The award winning restaurant presents indigenous foods on its menu that are sourced directly from farmers across the country practicing sustainable techniques of production. The menu that is mostly organic, changes season after season imbuing long-forgotten flavours and ingredients from different regions, gathering the culinary treasures of the nation in one place.

The winter menu of Fire promises yet another expansive menu that will warm your heart and soul to brave the chilly weather. With the season's freshest ingredients to celebrate the diversity of rich Indian flavours, executive chef Ajay Jain put together some of the most authentic winter recipes for an inspirational experience.

If you gave in to your temptations all through the winters and put your health on the backseat, make your redemption to enjoy the last leg of winters while you still can, with some delectable foods that won't put you on a guilt trip. We surely did, on our culinary trip to Fire.

We started off with winter-special Thakkali Pondu Rasam, a Madurai soul soup with tangy tomato puree and a hint of garlic. Served with bruschetta bread, the tantalising appetiser got us afoot on a long gastronomical journey. Zad Apple Salad with fresh winter greens from the highest peaks of the Himalayan region is a must-try. It is served in a beautifully decorated bamboo basket, making it hard to resist.

If you love missi roti with saag, you'll definitely love this take-off -Missi Roti Taco with arbi and bean sprout.It was followed by Bengali Pea Chop, which could have fared better with some more flavours.

Non-vegetarians must pick Koli Barthad, a Coorgi-special pan fried chicken paired with kachampuli, peppercorn and tomato chutney. Another delectable treat that stood out for us was Red Snapper Pollichathu - succulent and juicy fish, wrapped mystically in banana leaves.

Red Snapper (Image Credit: Fire, The Park)

Going forward to the mains, we absolutely loved Smoked Masala Pork Ribs that packed a punch of flavours with a distinct smoky flavour. The finale of the meal was the grand traditional thali circling a myriad of regional dishes. From Delhi's iconic Nalli Nihari to Malabar Prawn curry, to Khubani Stuffed Malai Kofta and Sarso Ka Saag - make you pick from the host of drool-worthy dishes on the menu. And pair these with red rice and choicest of breads. Five Seed and Cheddar Kulcha, and Truffle and Parmesan Kulcha, are our picks. However, if you want healthier options, there is 9 Grain Roti (an amalgamation of various healthy flours) and Gluten Free Ragi Roti.

WIN WINSupporting organic farmers by buying their produce means enjoying more-nutritious food while supporting biodiversity.

Nature and rewilding Pat Fahy

Cycling on the Greenway, heading to the weekly Coastal Communities demonstration in Westport one Friday, mind wandering, thinking of the value of organic produce, legs going like bumblebee wings. Ye know the price of everything and the value of nawtin, an old boss of mine once said, flooring a room full of bigwigs, sticking up for our small department, squeezed on all sides. His words came back to me as I thought of some attitudes to organic farming and food. Sounds bit harsh, I thought then, considering all the people beating a path to Pax Whole Foods & Eco Goods in Westport, to Glasra organic farms stalls in Castlebar and Westport, and to various other organic-produce market stalls up and down the country. What does organic mean?, you might ask. It simply means working with nature rather than against it whilst providing food that tastes like nature intended. Westports Edible Landscape and Pax, among others, are sowing the seeds for change a while now. Pax especially, since its inception, has been a revelation, effortlessly radiating community to the environmentally cognisant. In the store, shoppers serendipitously meet others with a mutual interest in plastic-free goods, organic local produce, palm-oil free products, sustainability, biodiversity and climate change. Organic produce is worth that little bit of extra cost, or the time and effort in your own garden, because it is more nutritious, never mind all the benefits to our planet. Fruit and vegetables grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than the varieties most of us get today. The main culprit is soil depletion. Sadly, each successive generation of fast-growing, pest-resistant carrot is less good for you than the one before. The key to healthier produce is healthier soil. If you want this, buy regularly from local organic farmers. But still, increase the amount of vegetables and fruit in your diet regardless extraordinarily rich in nutrients and beneficial phytochemicals, theyre our best source. Eat the rainbow for good health dieticians often tell us. Each plant produces various phytochemicals to make these colours, and theyre more abundant in organic produce, according to scientific research, such as a 2014 study in the British Journal of Nutrition by Marcin Baranski et al. There are wider reasons to go organic, besides them being more nutritious and tasty. From a biodiversity perspective, a variety of pesticide-free organic planting and habitats will attract the complete spectrum of wildlife, including bumblebees, butterflies, beetles, hoverflies, dragonflies, hedgehogs and birds. And the larvae of hoverfly and ladybirds are good example of natural pest control: they eat the greenfly. Taking a leaf from the organic farmers bag of tricks, arable farmers now sow wildflowers around their tillage fields, as well as another strip down the middle for greater effect. Doing so reduces pesticide costs by attracting all sorts of ichneumon wasps, which are bad news for many crop pests. An elegant solution. Monsanto (now owned by German pharmaceutical corporation Bayer) was recently forced by US courts to pay out millions of dollars in damages to people who got cancer after using its glyphosate-based weedkiller Roundup, with thousands more cases yet to be heard. No doubt headlines about the cases have given many people pause for thought. Every year, some pesticide previously thought to be safe is banned somewhere in the world a problem no organic farmer needs to worry about. With the increasing pressures of climate change, food security is also something we all need to consider. Most conventional farmers use very few crop varieties, but diversity is essential for survival. We would do well to remember that during the Great Hunger, there were only three varieties of potato in Ireland, and all were prone to blight. We should also be grateful to organisations like Irish Seed Savers, who are doing Trojan work in preserving heritage varieties of Irelands fruit and vegetables before theyre lost forever. Organic is the future. Organic farmers are young, energised and on a mission, matching conventional farming after a relatively short transition, outperforming conventional during drought, building rather than depletes the soil, using 45 percent less energy and generating 40 percent less greenhouse gases. Not only that, the food consumers who go organic tend to be careful about food waste a huge and unnecessary burden on the planet. If you pay that little bit extra, you wont think of food as being cheap and throwaway. Were all learning the cost of the quick fix and the value of natures services. These changes are priceless, because they are our future. Were all on that journey. Whats good for us is also good for our planet the only one weve got.

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussexs new life has come at a cost literally. Since the Sussexes are no longer working members of the British royal family, theyve had to become financially independent. These means they will be scaling back on some of the lavish pleasures that the duke had been accustomed to for his entire life.

However, the Sussexes arent starting from the ground up. Prior to tying the knot in May 2018, both Markle and Prince Harry were millionaires in their own right. Also, despite the British press and publics disdain for the duchess, they are beloved across the globe and have a stellar brand.

Since they are building on their own wealth and legacy, it was a wise choice for the Sussexes to move to Canada.

This evening,The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the annual #WellChildAwards in London. WellChild aims to ensure every child and young person living with serious health needs has the best chance to thrive with the support and medical care needed in the comfort of their own home. The Duke of Sussex became Patron of WellChild in 2007, and last year both The Duke and Duchess attended the awards to honour the children and families that WellChild supports. The Duke, who first came to these awards over a decade ago, shared in his remarks tonight: Last year when my wife and I attended we knew we were expecting our first child no one else did at the time, but we did and I remember squeezing Meghans hand so tightly during the awards, both of us thinking what it would be like to be parents one day, and more so, what it would be like to do everything we could to protect and help our child should they be born with immediate challenges or become unwell over time. And now, as parents, being here and speaking to all of you pulls at my heart strings in a way I could have never understood until I had a child of my own.

They may not have access to the queens billions, but the Sussexes are still very wealthy with a combined net worth of $30 million. When the pair got married they did not have a prenuptial agreement and decided to combine their finances.

Prince Harrys independent net worth stands around $25 million a combination of inheritance from Princess Diana and an annual allowance from Prince Charles. Meanwhile from her acting work and endorsements, the duchess is worth $5 million.

Some of that money will be used to pay back the $3 million used to renovated their U.K. home, Frogmore Cottage.

In Tembisa, Johannesburg, today The Duke and Duchess visited to meet young entrepreneurs at the YES hub a hive for creativity and social enterprise. Their visit was an amazing tour of the ingenuity and opportunity seeing businesses that varied from food to essential sanitary products for local women. During their visit, they were able to sample food from Chef Mish a local masterchef winner which he makes at the site as part of his catering business and cafe. They then joined YES community members to take part in training and tests that will help them gain skills and find work. On the third stop today, entrepreneur Moss showed The Duke and Duchess the organic produce he's growing in the township with aquaponics supplying local restaurants. And finally, The Duke and Duchess met the women behind the amazing Blossom Care Solutions who are making 80,000 sanitary pads every month for women in their community. They are 100% compostable, and provide an essential low-cost product for women and girls. The Duchess has long campaigned on this issue and wrote in Time magazine in 2017, saying: In communities all over the globe, young girls potential is being squandered because we are too shy to talk about the most natural thing in the world. To that I say: we need to push the conversation, mobilize policy making surrounding menstrual health initiatives, support organizations who foster girls education from the ground up, and within our own homes, we need to rise above our puritanical bashfulness when it comes to talking about menstruation.

Because they will no longer be supported, the duke and duchess will need to work to become financially independent. Theyve already to trademark their brand Sussex Royal We could easily compare them to any former presidents,Royal commentator and author Kristen Meinzer explained to Business Insider. My mind keeps going toBarack and Michelle Obamaand how [they] make money. The reason I compare the two is that theyre already friends with each other and I would put them on the same level in terms of fame.

Markle lived in Canada for years when she was filming the drama series, Suits, so it feels very familiar to her. However, Canada has other perks as well. The duo will have major tax benefits when it comes to moving to Canada.

According to Market Watch, Moving to Canada will keep Prince Harry out of thecomplex webof U.S. international tax law. The couple was already running into tax issues since Markle is still a U.S. Citizen. Also since security is a concern, and Canada is in the British commonwealth, the Sussexes security costs will be lower.

The Governor-General, who represents the Queen in Canada, is protected by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and as a prince of the realm of Canada, Harry and his family will be protected by the same team of guards, which will have to be expanded, according to the London Evening Standard.

Additionally, the pound isnt as strong as it was prior to Brexit. Therefore the duo will get more bang for their wealth in Canada.
