THREE TYPES OF DETOX TO TRY OUT

-

The holiday is over and so many junks had been consumed and there isn't any excuse any more for either over eating or drinking. Its time to give the body a break and help it get rid of all the accumulated toxins from the holidays winning and dinning. 

 We all know how important detoxing is. It's a healthy way to kick start the year too. I personally see it as a clean start and a way to get my body's metabolism back on track. So here are my three favourite types of detox.

  • THE GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLE DETOX JUICE. 

This is made up of whole green leafy vegetables and green fruits. The method of preparation is pretty simple.

 Ingredients: Cabbage, kale, cucumber, spinach, green apples, broccoli .
Method of preparation: Wash all vegetables and fruit. Then cut into tiny bits and blend.
NB: It's quite filling and usually not tasty, therefore you can add lemon juice to it just to make it more tasty. You can drink this smoothie the whole day.
Benefits: It improves gut health, purifies the blood and improves the appearance of the skin amongst many other cleansing benefits.



  • GINGER, LEMON, CUCUMBER WATER.

This detox water is probably one of my best. Any time I feel my body needs to be detoxified, this is my go to detox drink. 
Ingredients: a jar of water, cucumber, ginger, lemon, mint leaves.
Method of preparation: Wash and slice the cucumber and lemon, grate the ginger and put all in a jar then fill with water. Allow it to sit over night. Then strain the water by morning and drink all day.


NB: You can add some mint leaves for flavour while drinking.
Benefits: The water soluble vitamins in the cucumber and lemon is infused into the water making a perfect detox drink for the body. You can also munch on some fruits during the day when hunger pangs kicks in. 

  • WATER


 This is basically drinking water all day and eating little or nothing. It's called water detox because you are supposed to drink more water than you usually would in a day. The water improves bowel movement as well as helps the body get rid of toxins.

 I usually combine the three types of detox. On the first day I go with the green smoothie detox and the second day I'll bask in the goodness of the ginger, lemon cucumber water and then finish it up with a third day water detox.

 It's usually a terribly difficult time for my unhealthy cravings however my skin and body feels so great after the detox. 

 So why not try my three day detox with me and give me your feedback.
I'll start mine on Monday 7th of January 2019.

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-
Image
We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the same place can cause you

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with

THE UNKNOWN CALL

I twisted to critically appraise my curves in the tall glass one last time. I had not watched television or gone on a proper date for over three months, not since work had become so demanding. Part of me still aggrandized the image of lying in bed, snacking on a good pan pizza and finally sleeping off on some random Netflix movies. I twitched the pleat on the skirt and adjusted the waist line. Needless to say, I looked good and the mental picture stuck. The buzzing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. My mind quickly raced to my date. His surname was yet to stick and so was my need to get seriously involved with another man. The caller was unknown and on sliding the green icon on the screen, his voice came live. ‘’Miss jones’’? Yes, speaking” ‘’I’m guessing you know miss Edith Uwaoma’’? Yes, I do, but who is on the line’’? The voice on the other end of the line was far from familiar. He said evasively, ‘’Please make your way to the hosp
