3 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
1 peeled and diced yellow onion
2 cups rolled oats
5 cups of water or vegetable stock, divided into
1 pound mixed mushrooms, sliced or torn depending on variety
1 bunch of curly kale, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces and stems discarded.
4 sprigs of fresh oregano, or 1 tsp of dried oregano
Salt and pepper
Pour in 1 cup of water and add the kale in an even layer on top of the mushrooms. Season the kale liberally with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes until the kale is tender. Remove the cover and toss everything together. Discard the oregano stems. To taste and season to your preference. Turn off the heat and cover the mushrooms and kale to keep them warm.
While the mushrooms are cooking, make the oats. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large pot. Add the onion and cook for 6–8 minutes until it begins to soften.
Add the oats and toss to combine. Season them with salt and pepper.
Pour in the water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the oats for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are thick and creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper. If you like, add a pat of plant-based butter or a splash of plant-based cream in at the end for an even creamier oatmeal.
Spoon the savory oats into shallow bowls and pile the mushrooms and kale on top. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle a few oregano leaves on top, if you like. Enjoy!
Regular dental exams are vital for maintaining healthy teeth and preventing cavities. Unfortunately, many individuals do not visit the dentist until they encounter a serious oral problem, such as a toothache.
Neglecting a dental examination can lead to more severe problems in the future. If you're delaying your next appointment because you're ashamed or can't find the time, here are five fundamental reasons why you should visit the dentist regularly.
Examine for cavities:
Cavities, or tooth decay, are the most prevalent dental condition affecting the majority of Australian adults. It is necessary to check for cavities at dental appointments. If you wait to visit the dentist for a toothache, he or she may be unable to assist you. Instead, the damaged tooth must be taken out to stop the cavity from getting worse and infecting the gums.
By practising good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist twice a year for routine check-ups, you can effectively prevent cavities. If you brush twice daily and floss once daily, especially after meals and before bed, you should be able to prevent most cavities.
Worrying about things outside of your control, having external distractions, and complaining about everything in life are all things that are detrimental to mental health. And when your mind is cluttered, it will waste your time and mental energy.
So, it's time to adopt healthy habits to become a better version of yourself. Below, we have stretched the best ways for you to declutter your mind and have a happy life:

A nation is not defined by its borders or the boundaries of its land mass rather, a nation is defined by its collective people who have been unified by a cause and a value system.
A people who are committed to a vision for the type of society they wish to live in and to pass it on to the future generations to come.
Nigeria is ours! Our home, our pride, our heritage. We need to join hands together to make Nigeria better.
Join me Queen Mercy Atang as I put to practice my commitment to make Nigeria a greater Nation.🇳🇬🇳🇬
