Do you know that good health and happiness begin with you and it is affordable? The keys to optimum health and happiness are both spiritual and physical. These are simple things to apply:
– Eat meals that are filled with balance and essential nutrients especially during this rainy season when we have very high amount of pollutants around.
– Get at least 8 hours of sleep per day – Have 30 minutes beauty sleep during the day.
– Start your day with few slices of lemon brewed in a cup of hot water. Start every meal with a few slices of pawpaw, mango, banana or watermelon, they will aid digestion.
– Never leave home without breakfast but make it a healthy one – Organic millet, fruits and nuts granola with Greek yoghurt is great, or fill yourself up with banana, blueberry, flaxseed and chia seed smoothie. If banana is not your thing, alternate with pineapple or watermelon.
– Enrich and nourish your body with green vegetables that would build your immune system such as spinach, kale, watercress, cavolo nero, water leaves, ewedu, ugu, etc.
– Steam your vegetables instead of boiling. If you must stew them, put them last in your soup or stew for two minutes.
– Drink ten glasses of clean water with a pH of 7 or slightly alkaline. Your body will love you for it.
– Reduce salt intake or avoid it if you could. It would be great if you could also keep away from monosodium glutamate-processed seasoning.
– Nourish your body with oily fish but not pond-bred catfish. Eat goat meat or organic chicken but all must be moderate.
– Embrace fibre, protein and vitamin rich foods such as black beans, lentils, cabbage and cauliflower swallow.
– Snack on flaxseeds, linseeds, black seeds, and chia seeds with organic Greek yoghurt.
-Do not eat anything heavy after 7pm.
Enjoy good health and happiness. You are worthy of it, and you deserve it. Remember to be active and walk more often.
