This Will Kill Us | Life in the Countryside

[@who.is.fl0raa]

Jael, washing your vegetables and other stuff under a running tank tap you're wasting a lot of water. As you said its dry season there so if wash you veg in a bucket that water can then water your veg or plants. Try putting cinnamon in your carrot cake it will taste even better.x

[@bonniek20]

Jael, I understand that it's hot out there, but the villagers will be just fine without sunscreen. Proper hydration, working outdoors during the early morning hours whenever possible, is enough. I live in Arizona, and for us 38°C in the summer is a blessing, we get 45°C plus temps for weeks, and we're surviving! There are many parts of the world that get very hot and dry in certain seasons. Your yard is still green and lush. Be thankful for this, and don't give into unfounded fears. God bless!

The sun heals melanated people. Be careful of what you eat!

Coconut water is best for dehydration and water fruits, watermelon, cucumber, etc.

Our melanin offers us a lot of protection from skin cancer. I worked in the medical field for a long time and I have never seen a black person with skin cancer. (I’m not saying it’s never happened). I also grew up in the country side where people work out in the sun all day and I don’t know of anyone with skin cancer in my village. The sunlight helps to make Vitamin D which is very vital for a good immune system. Caucasians on the other hand are very prone to skin cancer.

[@TheEGA4421]

Correct. The lighter ones skin the higher the probability of getting skin cancer. Darker skin may turn red and/or burn due to being outside longer than normal. This is usually an indication that one needs to seek shelter.

[@mercylineadhiambo4485]

My cousin lives in the city and has had skin cancer for over 5 years now. So it is possible for black skin people to get skin cancer

[@Margaret637]

​@mercylineadhiambo4485 Sorry about your relative. Yes, Africans do get skin cancer but it's very, very rare, not as common as in light skinned populations.

[@PC-zg3eo]

@@mercylineadhiambo4485 I am not saying it doesn’t happen.

[@rosemarywaweru-im4fr]

Nice having you back my friend. It's been a very hot summer in England.....l don't use sunscreen myself but l am very careful, keeping hydrated and covering up. God will intervene and sure there will be showers of blessing 👏.

[@hairshorts6630]

Since I was born,which is over 40 years now,I have never heard of an African with skin cancer due to sun exposure,we are people of the sun,I got to see melanoma for my first time here in Australia,I don’t even use sunscreen,our melanin is enough protection we need. And the other hand ,for the farmers,yes too much sun for the crops is not very good,it’s good to do a homemade slow drip irrigation system. ❤

[@user-ts6wr1un8g]

Those sunset shots are priceless! Thanks for another great video.

[@Crabtree1844]

I like your hat; looks catchy and practical.

[@lifeinthecountrysidehome]

I love the heat but I truly understand the problem it causes for farmers. During the summer months, I make a simple all-natural sunscreen using shea butter, coconut oil, palm oil and zinc. It works well for us. I make this because I usually get sunburn on my shoulders even though I am a dark person. I don't use store bought sunscreen because it has to much harmful chemicals in it. Stay positive. The rain will come soon.

[@bettygachao9596]

Evening tea and home baked cake...love it

[@Magnolia5]

Blessings in an abundance Jael🥰♥️. Although it’s hot and dry there, the compound is still beautiful! It simply looks like a beautiful summer day. The compound is always so pretty and peaceful. I hope Lexi is all settled in her new school and looking forward to great things. I always enjoy your kitchen moments. I pray for rain soon in your area and other parts of Kenya that are in need of the rain showers. Looking forward to your future content. Mungu akubariki ♥️🙏🏾🌹🫶🏾🌺🙋🏾‍♀️

[@godsjewelsgems1782]

The sky and trees are always beautiful🌞. Putting a little fresh grated ginger, nuts and cinnamon in your cake batter will be delicious….. carrot cake 😋! Love the country life 🥰

[@KerryMogeni-xl8bk]

Hi,the sun is sunning there but its green n cool like ur baking very simple n easy the cake looks swt❤

[@carolinecongo1179]

Nice to hear your voice Jael. Cake looks yummy.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you 😋

[@lovegalful]

We have all grown in the village in the sunshine we would all be dead. Please check out the benefits of sun. You will mever put those chemicals on your skin.

Soo happy to see you back ❤❤the cake looks absolutly delicious 😋 😍

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you 😋

[@CynthiaNcwane-ym3yi]

Watching you from South Africa. Nice land and as for the sun it's for the melanated ones. Black people don't get that disease. God gave us a beautiful skin. Enjoy the sun.

[@wandabryantsmith2004]

It has been very hot here in Louisiana this summer also, but thank God, it’s getting cooler. Take care!

[@judithadero1724]

Jael jambo , Humbly grate the lemon rind too and add .This enhances the flavour of the cake.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Oh yes. I always do. This one wasn't fresh enough for that.

Hello Jael, I recently read this book, it is very moving story.

[@okechotete5839]

Us farmers keep looking up the sky for planting and in dec looking up the sky’s wishing for sun. I understand your pain

[@jaelofthevillage]

So true

[@WuonOdidi]

Next time I have to try this cake..kabondo special :)

[@OneOneCocoa473]

Jael, I would suggest using long sleeved cotton or polyester shirts and a wide brimmed hat to protect one’s skin from the sun. Our older farmers, (males and females)in Grenada always dressed in long shirts. There are also some hats with an additional piece at the back to cover the neck.

[@marciakelly5605]

I enjoy your videos, Your house and garden is beautiful. One thing though can you get one of those speakers that clips on your clothe, it's hard to listen because your voice is low🎉

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thanks for the feedback, darling. I have one,I'll put it to use.

[@tendanipelaelo6293]

Good afternoon sissy Jael. You probably need to encourage your neighbours and other villagers to wear long sleeved clothes when they are out in the sun. DO encourage them to in a lot of fluids, especially water. I hope the heavens will soon open and you can have your normal rains

[@mathatotsupane9969]

That's what .my dad do and it's been working for him for over 40yrs ❤

[@irenechola1780]

Do more research on the sun! I think the threat is extremely exaggerated otherwise our parents would all have succumbed. Big pharma wants you to buy their products! What we eat is what matters

[@wajayds2670]

I agree💯

[@debrafriday3686]

I totally agree!

[@leah4892]

I humbly disagree. Climate change is real and the heat is definitely climbing. I have seen quite a lot of black people with sun burn which for some people can be a precursor to squamous cells carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer in black people. I would still be very careful when the UV index is high. When working in the yard or garden I personally prefer to wear long dresses with long sleeves and a wide brim hat because they do offer some level of protection. A friend who is black went for a holiday in Hawaii. She Did not use sunscreen. She came back with severe sunburn and her skin peeled for like 2 weeks.

[@irenechola1780]

@@leah4892 I did not mean we do not take caution when out in the sun. So yes indeed dress appropriately and hydrate. But lathering in sun screen or even totally avoiding the sun is actually detrimental. You need vitamin D. Sun screen products are a man made dependence that we do not need. Did you know that bad cooking oils, sugar and junk makes you more susceptible to sun burns... don't blame the sun for what sugar did.

[@gloriaadu5485]

You mention composting, where i live it is four season. so what i do is use all the leaves, and all the clippings, the dry plants. and put it in my composting. bin. it help my soil all your banana leaves. even wood chip. the weather is changing all over the world. this is the hottest year. so the soil dries out very fast. what i do is put cardboard box around the plants. you have to tear the box up. make sure you keep it wet.so the soil will stay wet.

[@gofaonebaiphetlhi629]

I am never able to wash off all the soil granules from carrots unless i use a cloth😄

[@artvaultcalif]

Sautéed carrot greens. Cook some garlic in a pan with oil, then add chopped carrot greens. Add salt and pepper. only takes a few minutes. Very healthy.

[@Ruth-zz7gl]

Niiiice

[@WeziKamanga]

Cancer bcz of sun!, villagers spend much of their yrs in direct sunlight but still no evidence of it

[@Amlah1740]

Just keep yourself hydrated, wear thin white cotton gowns to keep the heat off and cover your heads with cool white cotton cloths

[@itscyberqueen13]

Wear long sleeved white linen because it reflects the sun and is breezy.

[@kennethmuigai2551]

Even if you harvest carrots it can stay 2months or more still fresh. You just put them in water and become fresh and hard

[@junioralford583]

Greetings Jael..

[@lilianny9256]

Is skin cancer prevalent in yr region? We are highly melanated 😊

[@keneddynyagudi5819]

Do you plant carrots on seedbed or you just plant them directly on the farm

[@jaelofthevillage]

No, I sow the seeds directly to the patch then thin out when they grow

[@patnewman9543]

Is that what you call milk tea? How do you make it.

[@trukenyan]

Next time you are gone, give us a heads up….😂

[@Proverbs1-31]

Caucasian skin especially in the northern hemisphere where I reside, is very very pale. In fact, I have seen many of these people get severe sunburn within minutes of exposure during a hot day! They definitely need sunscreen to protect their skin. On the other hand, black Africans have natural protection from the sun due to high levels of melanin in our skin. For that, I’m grateful.

[@johneasley8691]

The sun is nothing nice. If you have a garden, put water in between the vegetables

[@jaelofthevillage]

Sure

[@johneasley8691]

@jaelofthevillage that will give the roots more water too during the dry season

I want to learn the traditions BEFORE the whyte human trafficker's arrived. Why do we not have enough distaste when it comes to them and insist on learning what they tried so hard to make us forget? 😵‍💫

Hi Jael, my name is Jane and I come across your videos last week and I have been following you. I live in the US and have been planning on moving back and crazy enough to my village and do farming, I have started a little bit and I would love to link up with you.
