Vegetarian diet or carnivore diet?
Vegetarians often claim that animal products shorten lifespan, but the most cursory look at long-lived ethnic groups proves that this is not the case. Russians from the Caucasus Mountains, an area famous for longevity, eat lots of fatty meat and whole milk products. Inhabitants of Vilcabamba in Equador, known for longevity, consume a variety of animal foods as well. The long-lived people of Hunza consume animal protein in the form of high-fat goat milk products.
On the other hand, the vegetarian inhabitants of southern India have one of the shortest life spans in the world.
Food for thought!!

Chicken bone broth soup.
I am very surprised how many people don't make soups. So easy to make and one of the best choiceyou can make for compromised gut.
❣️Did you know?
Little is known of the part potassium plays in the human body as small quantities are present in all parts of the body, especially within the cells. Osmotic balance between the contents of the cells and their surrounding fluids depends upon potassium.
When meat is being cooked, a considerable portion of the potassium passes into broth. When we eat this, it results in stimulatory effect on our digestive system.
Nothing beats the bone broth!!!

Superfood latte.

Everyone I know is lately over using a coffee to help them deal with stress. Yes I am doing the same and it is unfortunately juicing out the adrenals even more.
Try add some healthier options like a beet or turmeric latte.
Add some herbal teas.
Learn to rest and recharge your batteries.
I love my coffee but unfortunately in excess is unfortunately affecting our bodies in very negative way.
