Did you know that, according to the Ancient Greeks, the construction of their houses influenced their health? Houses had to be built with a particular exposure in relation to the sun, and one had to be able to live in different rooms at different times of the year, according to the daily weather. The exposure to winds was also considered.
Not only was the position of a house important, but the position of a city was equally important for the health of the inhabitants, and for the kind of life they had and wanted to lead.
These factors were minor changes that the Greeks could implement in their lives, compared to the six essential lifestyle factors that @wholisticallyrooted has written in our latest article.

In our latest article we have mentioned that @ilham_foodblog didn't use any onions in her dishes, because it triggers her brother's migraines. As a substitute for onions, she would often use leeks or spring onions.

Ancient Egyptians loved spring onions and would offer them for the deceased, or use them in their food.
Starting from the upper left corner, we can see Ancient Egyptians watering and harvesting plants, in particular spring onions.
The upper right corner displays a lotus plant, papyrus plant and dates.
At the bottom right corner is a palm tree.
We are not really sure what the bottom left picture portrays.

We teamed up with @ilham_foodblog to cook a meat, and plastic-free iftar for @greendeen_tribe 's annual Ethical Iftar Challenge. It was a sunny day in Cape Town, so we started our challenge by going to the Oranjezicht Farm Market to get fresh vegetables. When we arrived home, we cooked up a storm in the kitchen! You can swipe to see the delicious and light iftar we made. To read more about our day, and the recipes, you can click the link in our bio.

Right after posting @wholisticallyrooted 's article we found out that @dr.raniaawaad has started a nonprofit organization called @maristan_org which is grounded in Islamic traditions and thrives to provide professional clinical care, education, and research in advancing holistic, mental and spiritual wellness.
How amazing isn't that?!

Did you know that the sound of running water played a huge part in the building of the healing centers (darüssifa) during the Ottoman Empire? Running water was part of the holistic experience of healing the patients.
We have released the first part of our Ramadan series today, written by @wholisticallyrooted .

On Singapore's Bussorah Street lies a flourishing

On Singapore's Bussorah Street lies a flourishing Muslim bookshop called Wardah Books. Fond of wordplay Ibrahim Tahir, the owner of @wardahbooks , named the shop Wardah (rose), reminiscent of the Beloved (saws), the rose-and-nightingale symbolism in Sufi poetry, and his late mother whose favoured flower was the rose.

Click the link in our bio to read our new article, which is an interview we had with Ibrahim, about what inspired him to open an ethical bookshop, the challenges he faced, the problems with booksellers such as Amazon, his favorite book, and many more interesting topics.

4: Inside view of Wardah Books.
5: Ibrahim with Abdal Hakim Murad in his bookshop.
6: Author session with Michael Sugich (not at the bookshop).

We had a lot of fun interviewing Ibrahim and learnt so much about the importance of reading, and supporting ethical businesses.
