Beauty or wellness? (2)
A healthy family

Start learning to stop eating animal flesh. No meat, chicken or fish one or two days every week!

Every day, start intermittent fasting. Stop eating latest 7 or 8 pm and for the next 15-18 hours avoid cooked food. You may take uncooked foods like fruits and vegetables with lots of fibre.  For best results, do a three-day (36 hours) fast. A water-fast helps you to heal yourself. Great health starts from the gut!

Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Ensure to do your home chores yourself. Avoid having people doing everything for you. Sweeping, cleaning, washing, cooking etc all help you stay active. At the same time, do not over exercise. 45 mins to one hour, four to six days a week is adequate. Keep up the mobility. It’s better to walk briskly than to jog, once you are above 50 years old.

Mentally, keep yourself updated and informed. What you eat and how healthy your bile secretion and liver is affects your mental health. Never isolate yourself! Stay in communication with family and friends.

It becomes poisonous at very high temperatures!

Learn to read labels on everything you buy. If sugar is among the top three ingredients, avoid completely. Eat foods in their most natural states. Go for less sweet fruits which are high in fructose and therefore most fattening. Learn to make your own fruit and vegetable juices.

Eliminate artificial food seasonings – all the “cubes”. Monosodium Glutamate MSG increases the levels of insulin released in your blood. Cook your potatoes and yams with the skin on.

Are you always craving sugar? Do you snack on sweets, biscuits, tea and coffee every day? Your cravings are an already existing habit of what you do daily. Watch what you eat. Begin to develop healthier alternatives.
