How many of your parents or seniors have hammered onto you about the fact that when they were in their 20's and 30's they were twice as energetic and enthusiastic than you are ? I don't even need to know that answer I know that you've gasped a breath of dismay already. While you wonder why is it that they can't fathom your lifestyle and pressures, assured that they too are wondering the same. The truth or harsh reality is we have chosen our frustrated, low energy and even weary lifestyle and they didn't, well they have indeed paved some way for us though.
To say the least they never had a more polluted environment to live in. What isn't contaminated in our lives, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the surroundings we happily live in, the family ties and bonding, the work culture, or the lack of personal time? Now with so much negative environment its one great job we do to stay positive as much as we can. However our body undergoes aging faster internally even though we have access to better cosmetic quick fixes on the outer side. This change which should begin by the mid 30's has been preponed by a decade atleast, not to mention children at the age of 8 and 12 are also facing major fatigue and depression problems. We ought to chose a better life as we and our children are on the edge of a Now or Never situation. And how do we chose ? What is it that we actually do ? For starters lets prioritise our lives around our happiness, our aim, our loved ones, our leisure and our soltitude as well; then lets start acting responsibly towards our environment, and our physical wellbeing. I know what your thinking, 'Like we as if we are averse it all?' But wanting something and making it happen are completely different, one is a thought whereas the other is a commited deed.
Getting started on what you really desire and need has never been this difficult because what you need and should have requires courage, confidence, and commitment. Here is what I do inorder to create a positive environment or think there should exist one, I wake up to a tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice in 100 ml or half a cup of water, to regulate and cleanse the system. I avoid fat ladden cookies at work and keep my tea intake to 3 times in a day with 1/2 tsp of sugar or if it exceeds then sugar free. I guzzle down 2 litres of fluids in form of plain water, juices or barley water everyday. I try and keep my fat content in a day at minimal, chose two spoons of steam rice over buttered rotis, eat chicken pieces instead of gravy or double the amount of dal over rice and avoid desserts at lunch hour. Fruits being my favorite if I am at home I make it point to eat up 3 fruits a day or carry fruit when possible or drink fruit juices. A couple of roasted almonds and walnuts a day can actually do a world of good for the stressed eyes and muscles in the long run especially the skin. But the best bet is keeping your caffeine and fat down and ganging up with fruits. I can vouch my life on the wonders fruits can conjure on your health, mood, and reactions to tackle situation. Its like a magic potion in each one of them plus you end up feeling satiated and cleansed from within. People often ask me what are the choices of fruits they should go for? Well as long as you can eat all colours of fruit not restricting to just your favorites its fine. Daily doses of fruits and also dry fruits like almonds, walnut, apricot, unsalted cashews and pistachio help slowing of ageing, regulate mood swings and hormonal secretion, boost immunity, combats any internal and external stress in the body (including infection, artherosclerosis, insulin resistance, hyperlipidaemia, calcium resorption (demineralization), etc).
While this is just the begining of how you can get started to be prepared for a change that is going to come around your early 30's I shall keep posting information on every aspect of the choices you need to make to combat an early change.
Wish you Wellness.
