🌿 Your Body Notices the Little Things You Ignore

It’s funny how we push through days feeling “a little off” — a small headache, low energy, tight shoulders, or that tired feeling you can’t explain. We call it “normal,” but your body is quietly trying to talk to you.

Sometimes it’s not a big health problem… it’s just your body asking for something simple: a glass of water, five minutes of fresh air, a real meal instead of snacks, or just a moment to breathe without rushing.

Taking care of yourself doesn’t always mean changing your whole lifestyle. Sometimes it’s just paying attention. Your body whispers before it ever screams — and listening early makes all the difference.

Don’t smoke
Smoking to***co causes NCDs such as lung disease, heart disease and stroke. To***co kills not only the direct smokers but even non-smokers through second-hand exposure.
If you are currently a smoker, it’s not too late to quit. Once you do, you will experience immediate and long-term health benefits. If you are not a smoker, that’s great! Do not start smoking and fight for your right to breathe to***co-smoke-free air.

Eat a healthy diet
Eat a combination of different foods, including fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains. Adults should eat at least five portions (400g) of fruit and vegetables per day. You can improve your intake of fruits and vegetables by always including veggies in your meal; eating fresh fruit and vegetables as snacks; eating a variety of fruits and vegetables; and eating them in season. By eating healthy, you will reduce your risk of malnutrition and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.

Consume less salt and sugar
Reduce your salt intake to 5g per day, equivalent to about one teaspoon. It’s easier to do this by limiting the amount of salt, soy sauce, fish sauce and other high-sodium condiments when preparing meals; removing salt, seasonings and condiments from your meal table; avoiding salty snacks; and choosing low-sodium products.
On the other hand, consuming excessive amounts of sugars increases the risk of tooth decay and unhealthy weight gain. In both adults and children, the intake of free sugars should be reduced. WHO recommends consuming less than 5% of total energy intake for additional health benefits. You can reduce your sugar intake by limiting the consumption of sugary snacks, candies and sugar-sweetened beverages.

Eat less salt
no more than 6g a day for adults
Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.
Even if you do not add salt to your food, you may still be eating too much.
About three-quarters of the salt you eat is already in the food when you buy it, such as breakfast cereals, soups, breads and sauces.
Use food labels to help you cut down. More than 1.5g of salt per 100g means the food is high in salt.
Adults and children aged 11 and over should eat no more than 6g of salt (about a teaspoonful) a day. Younger children should have even less.

☀️ The Healing Power of Morning Sunlight

A few minutes of morning sunlight is one of the simplest yet most powerful health boosters. That warm glow on your skin helps regulate your body’s internal clock, improving your sleep at night and your energy during the day. Sunlight also triggers your body to produce vitamin D — a nutrient essential for strong bones, immunity, and mood regulation.

Instead of immediately reaching for your phone, try stepping outside for 10 minutes after waking. Let your body soak in natural light, breathe deeply, and start your day grounded. Your mind, mood, and health will thank you.

Leaving and Cleaving
This time of year is full of traditions in our families, faiths, and community. There is giving to help the less fortunate, celebrating time with family, and being thankful for what we have. In the Bible it talks about marriage by saying, “A man shall leave his father and mother.

Simplify your life.
Do you need to Marie Kondo your life? Identifying the things that drain you and replacing them with people, activities, and things that spark joy will enhance your life balance.

Setting boundaries
This involves establishing clear boundaries between work and personal life by defining specific working hours and separating work-related tasks from personal activities.

Focus on your spiritual self.
Find a quiet, still place to connect to your inner wisdom or your higher power. Practice meditation on a daily basis. Journaling can also be useful.
