Its now our reality which we are haplessly bound to live and there is no turning back to our self created weather discomfort. What with the abrupt, uncalled for changes in our climate and worse the harsh effects of the blazing sun rays on our skin, eyes, hair, internal organ functionality and in totality our homeostasis. Welcome to the Apocalypse !!!There is no point in fusing and throwing tantrums about the change, all we can do is combat it, prevent it from worsening. How??? Well we don't possess the human brain for nothing do we ? Lets start from inside out.
1. Internal homeostasis (equillibrium of environment) - When in doubt or in trouble always rely on the basics and our basics began with water and oxygen, so lets get more of it inside our body. Remember the blog on What transpires beneath? Water in its plain identity or as a concoction or juice as long as its healthy and fresh is just what keeps the body equillibrium intact. So it guzzle it down as much as you can. Always remember to take in water in normal temperature and not freezing cold as it is fluid that runs down faster giving your system a cold shock every now and then. Of course drinking fresh fruit or vegetable juices with good amount of water content also helps in keeping the circulatory and gastroenteric as less of free radicals causing stress in the body over all. It goes without saying that these juices ought to be sugar free as they already contain sourse of sugar which is natural and sufficient if taken in good amount. However never try to replace your mini meals or big meals of the day with these fluids as that is exactly opposite of burning energy. As you dont allow the body to burn energy while digesting solid food instead give it a continuous flow of energy conserving easily absorptive source. This water therapy or fluid therapy helps in cleansing, moisturising, restoring balance of temperature and content and combating any harm to the body from the inside out.
2. Functional resistance - Its not just the antioxidants in fruits and vegies that are helpfull in fighting free radicals but the one's that can be obtained from a protein source is a dual combating strategy. A non - fat source of protein like feta or cottage cheese, yoghurt non- sweetened, de-fat soy flour, processed soy bean tofu or soy bean, lentils, kidney beans, brussel sprouts, rye, lentil flour, whole bulgar wheat, mackerel, tuna, salmon, cod fish, deskinned chicken or duck can be good source for high biological value protein as well as antioxidants like essential omega 3 fatty acids, phytophenols, Vitamin E, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin D, apart from the micronutrient minerals that they resource in them like calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium etc. This turns out to be an all in one package. It helps in restoring strength, building the necessary immune power for future, curbing ongoing stress inside the body, and a good energy source. If you might have noticed some of the enlisted food items are also good source of complex or simple carbs and that only accentuates its position as a complete food store as a whole meal. The ability to give functional resistance and strength to our ever so hurt body under the tormenting heat of the sun and climatic changes that inervate the hormones to react accordingly building up stressfull reactions that can surface on the outside by predisposing themselves as skin disease, mental distress, gastric problems, bone and joint disorder, insulin resistance leading to early signs of diabetes, fatty depositions in the circulatory system causing cerebral and cardiac disorders, liver disorder, kidney failure etc... Not intending to scare you but this is the scorching truth.
3. Nutcracker guard - Being nuts about nuts can go a long way in moderation. A mix trix each morning before breakfast which comprises of 3 roasted almonds and 2 roasted walnuts with a cashew or apricot coated in a super thin layer of organic jaggery or organic honey, is like a wonder pill you can pop in for all the distress in your body. Works wonders with under eye skin, hair texture and shine, nails, skin tone and of course the immunity system.
4. Fruit pulp - While eating whole fruit or squeezing juice out of them save some skin and pulp to apply over the skin not just the facial but in general. The fruit pulp rich in its nutrients works wonders on the skin on external application as much as its intake. They work as a great tan remover, dead cell removal, controlling oil secretion on the surface, and the even supple tone. Fruits rich in Vitamin C like berries, oranges, tangerine, etc can be your best bet for a good complexion, fine lines and acne.
More to come on the combat of the apocalyptic sun in my next post.... Till then,
