Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent Fasting means to need eat for 16 hours. It is actually quite easy since you do sleep in between for 6-8 hours.

For example your last dinner is at 8pm then your breakfast will be at noon.

If you feel hungry before breakfast treat yourself with self-made juices, turmeric latte (non-dairy), coconut water or tea made with fresh herbs.

As soon as your system gets used to this cycle you won´t feel hungry anymore.

Water – essence of life

This is a reminder how important water is.

Staying hydrated is crucial for health and well-being. Many of us forget to consume enough fluids throughout the day.

The human body consists of 50-85% of water (depending on age).

Dehydration can lead to serious health problems.

If you tend to forget to drink enough water here is a tip: fill up a big glass bottle with water and place it next to you or carry it around all day. As soon as it is empty refill it. This assures that you drink enough water a day.

Cut the ends and take the hard leaves of. Boil plenty of water, add salt, slices of 1 lemon and the artichokes. If you use a pressure cooker they will be cooked in 10min. In a normal pot the cooking time is about 30-45min. Enjoy with a homemade avocado dip.

Dark green leafy vegetables

My two favorite colors are green & pink. Both are the colors of the heart chakra.

4th Chakra – Anahata – Heart. Pink is the color of universal love. Emotional love of self and others , friendship, affection, harmony, inner peace, has both fire and air element … In general, pink stones are calming, soothing, relaxing.

Dark green leafy vegetables are an excellent source of fiber, folate, and carotenoids. These vegetables also contain vitamins C and K and the minerals iron and calcium. In addition, dark green leafy vegetables act as antioxidants in the body.

Antioxidants for heart health!
