Sometime all you need to do is just being.

Try and sit with yourself for 10 mins and watch your thoughts pass by.

Do not interact, do not judge... just be.

You are the master of your mind not its puppet.

Question: when you cook or bake anything in your kitchen. Are these any of these ingredients part of your recipes?

The first step to clean living is stop buying processed food with endless ingredients and start making food at home.

🔥🔥Start by keeping it simple!🔥🔥

To remain healthy, you need to start to eat clean. There are so many foods that are labelled as healthy, but the ingredients are far from, e.g., palm oil, rapeseed oil, any seed oil, inverted sugar, natural flavourings, natural colourings... etc. The list is big, but you can just start by returning to the shelf any food that contain an ingredient you don't know or can't pronounce. And that doesn't exclude bread!!

🔥🔥Start by keeping it simple!!🔥🔥

🔥🔥Stop what you are doing right now and focus on your breath.

Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 8... repeat until you feel your heart slowing down. Feel the bliss, create a memory and come back to it each time you feel stressed, anxious or angry.

⭐You have the power, don't let anyone take it away from you.⭐

It took me a few years to realise something very simple to reduce stress, anxiety or anger.

⭐⭐The fastest way to slow down our nervous system and allow us to relax is to turn the attention to your breath and lengthen your exhale.

When we exhale the heart naturally slows down. So, when we lengthen the exhale and exaggerate the effect, our parasympathetic nervous system activates, and we start to feel space in our heart and mind.

Try it the next time you feel stressed, feel anxiety or even when you are angry.⭐⭐

🔥Learn to not react, turn your attention to the breath and lengthen the exhale. All you need to do is practice.🔥

Chia seeds may have several benefits for digestion and the absorption of some components of the food you eat.

Research into this is in the early stages, but potential digestive benefits of chia seed include improving intestinal tissue health, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria (flora), altering absorption of some dietary components, and easing constipation.

🔥Why not have chia seed pudding for breakfast?

⭐⭐Ingredients
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup coconut milk (or milk of your choice)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
Pinch kosher salt
Sliced fruits, and nuts for serving

⭐⭐Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk to combine chia seeds, milk, vanilla if using, and salt.
Cover and refrigerate until thick, 2 hours up to overnight.
Serve with mix-ins and toppings of your choice.

Research shows that different emotions are associated with different forms of breathing, and so changing how we breathe can change how we feel.

For example, when you feel joy, your breathing will be regular, deep and slow. If you feel anxious or angry, your breathing will be irregular, short, fast, and shallow. When you follow breathing patterns associated with different emotions, you’ll actually begin to feel those corresponding emotions.

How does this work? Changing the rhythm of your breath can signal relaxation, slowing your heart rate and stimulating the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain stem to the abdomen, and is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s “rest and digest” activities (in contrast to the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates many of our “fight or flight” responses).

⭐Triggering your parasympathetic nervous system helps you start to calm down. You feel better. And your ability to think rationally returns.⭐

⭐⭐⭐Breathwork pranayama tips for beginners:

⭐Set an intention and begin each practice with an open mind and heart.

⭐Set a daily time to practice preferably in the morning.

⭐Don't do it on a full stomach, either do it on empty stomach or 2 hours after eating.

⭐Stay kind to yourself and allow space for whatever feelings that may arise.

⭐Always listen to your body and accept your limits.

"When the breath wanders, the mind is unsteady, but when the breath is still, so is the mind still" - Hatha Yoga Pradipika

The reason why pranayama breathing technique and deep breath yoga works is because they target the one key element of our bodies that is both automatic and controllable: breathing.

When we harness the power of our breath through yoga breathing, we link the body and mind. Doing this can radically change the way we think, feel, and act.
You are harnessing your prana energy (life force energy), so this will inevitably take a lot of focus and concentration.

In short, calming the body calms the mind. And achieving this begins with deep breathing exercises.

⭐Drinking tap or bottled water is not enough to stay hydrated especially if you exercise for long periods of time, you are exposed to hot environments or if you’re ill with vomiting or diarrhoea.

⭐Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride are important for your body.
They are distributed through the fluid in your body and use their electrical energy to facilitate important bodily functions.

⭐Electrolytes are essential for:
-Controlling your fluid balance.
-Regulating your blood pressure.
-Helping your muscles contract — including your heart.
-Maintaining the correct acidity of your blood (pH).

⭐Unless it’s labelled “distilled,” your regular bottled water provides at least a small amount of electrolytes, and many products contain trace amounts for taste.
Tap water has electrolytes as well but not in large amounts and only contains traces of potassium. If you notice that you are thirsty more than usual just add some salt to your water.

⭐⭐Also remember when you are hungry instead of reaching out for food, drink some water as your body might be signalling that it needs hydration⭐⭐

Important things to consider:

⭐⭐Single region of origin: Higher quality oils will usually come from a single region. Front labels are not always a good indication: check the back label for the actual origin of the oil, which is often stated in abbreviations.

⭐⭐Dark glass: This is a critical issue for olive oil preservation. Exposure to UV light is a major cause of rancid olive oil.

⭐⭐Cold pressed olive oil is decidedly better in quality, flavour profile, and health benefits than lesser grades. The heat used in further processing already-cold-pressed olives reduce the flavour and eliminate many of the antioxidants and other health properties.

⭐⭐Extra virgin olive oil is a great source of antioxidants, which are compounds that help fight inflammation and chronic disease. The oil’s main antioxidants include the anti-inflammatory oleocanthal, as well as oleuropein, a substance that protects LDL (bad) cholesterol from oxidation. Extra virgin olive oil also contains a good amount of vitamins E and K in each serving.

⭐⭐Reasons to Chew Your Food Properly

⭐Reduce the risk of bacterial overgrowth – food particles that aren’t broken down properly can cause bacterial overgrowth in the colon which leads to indigestion, bloating and constipation

⭐Helping food move through the digestive tract – chewing your food sends messages to the gastrointestinal system that food is on its way. This triggers hydrochloric acid production which helps speed up the digestive process.

⭐Relaxes the lower stomach – your lower stomach needs to relax before food can be channelled to the intestines. Releasing saliva helps to relax the lower stomach and also speeds up the digestive process.

⭐Aid your digestion. Chewing is an essential part of digestion. The more you chew, the better your food will be broken down prior to entering your stomach. When food is properly broken down, the risk of bloating and adverse GI symptoms will improve.

⭐Boost nutrient absorption. The more you chew, the more nutrients you will absorb. If you properly chew your food, it will be digested and metabolized more effectively.

⭐Control your weight. When you consciously chew, you'll naturally slow down how quickly you're eating. When you slow down how quickly you're eating, you allow yourself the chance to be aware of your natural hunger and satiety cues, which can decrease your risk of overeating..

⭐Taste your food. Studies have shown that many people pay attention to the first bite of food then mindlessly gobble down the rest of their meal.

⭐Appreciate your food. When you slow down your eating enough to mindfully chew, you also allow yourself the space to truly appreciate the meal. Fostering an environment that emphasizes food appreciation instead of deprivation is the foundation of a healthy relationship with food.
