Hello everyone 👋👋
Welcome back🙂
I decided to post this article today because as a Doctor, I personally feel that if you adapt some good habits in your routine it can benefit your overall health drastically.
We all want a youthful skin, a healthy body and a clean digestive system but how many of us actually work for it? Instead of going for shortcuts, simple things added to your routine can dramatically change the way you feel.
Supplements are good but it’s better to take them only when you have deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals in the body. Try to consume more natural products that are available easily to help your body and overall well being.
Today I’ll be sharing one recipe which I guess a lot of you must know but have not implemented in your daily diet.
I start my day with a glass of Warm Lemon Chia Water. Simple right!
You must be thinking we already know about it or what’s new in this but I am posting it anyway in order to keep you all motivated to consume this health drink on a regular basis 😏. As I am in my thirties now (🥴) I have included more and more whole foods, natural supplements and super foods in my diet. The thing is you cannot stop growing old but you can definitely try to make your body stronger and healthier with each passing day. You start giving your body the right amount of nutrition at the right time and it will reward you later😎.
Whenever I have to go to the hospital early and I don’t have time for breakfast, this drink keeps me fueled up for a good amount of time.
Now let’s go through the benefits of these simple ingredients one by one.
