Alasa fruit, also known as African star apple is currently in season and my niece and I picked a few from the neighbors.
If you ever had this fruit, you will never forget the taste! Plus when you chew the fruit, you end up with gum!

It has soo many health benefits and in this part of the world, pregnant women are encouraged to eat it because it tonifies the uterus and gets it ready for labor!

If you have ever had this fruit, how would you describe the taste?

Harvested turmeric roots with my dad.

Checkout my YouTube channel for video on health benefits of turmeric/ Curcumin root and how to make golden milk.

Harvested organically grown brown rice with the crew!
Did you know that rice in it’s natural form is brown/ black in color? Making it white is a process that strips it off all its nutrients and fiber!

The interesting thing about this local rice is you get full very quickly!

The famous Cherimoya fruit, also known as custard apple.

This fruit has anticancer benefits, improves eye health, boosts digestion, loaded with anti inflammatory nutrients and is simply delicious.

But did you know that it has the highest amount of vitamin B6 per serving? Without Vitamin B6, we can’t make ANY neurotransmitter and the resulting symptoms includes, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, chronic pain, etc

This nutrient deficiency has become a huge problem in the west and it’s not a surprise that mental health is also declining.
Nutrition plays a huge role in balancing mood and improving mental health.

No edits or filters, just the sun beautifully rising in the most magical way. 🌞🇬🇭🙏🏿🥰🥰

Today, I woke up at 5am to see the sun rise and also to hear the roosters do their thing!
Did a little sunrise meditation and then chatted with the neighbors for a while.

It truly is all about the simple things in life. This place is something else…

If you ever have the chance to visit Ghana, DO IT!!! You will leave a different person!!

Today’s breakfast is fresh organic mangoes, handpicked right here on the compound.

In addition to being absolutely delicious, mangoes also have a unique nutrient profile making them a healing superfood.

It is one of very few fruits that contains a compound called mangiferin which decreases inflammation in the heart and blood vessels.
It aids digestion and gut health due to its high fiber content.

I could go on and on, but the point is the Creator has blessed this land with healing foods so let your food be your medicine!

Home 🥰 sweet 🥰 home
As usual, Ghana has been very good for my soul.

My Sunday is going really well.
Learning about appropriate nutrition for children and how the foods we are feeding our children is harming them in more ways than we know.

You are what you eat, and when it comes to children, they REALLY are what they eat!

Give them a better start in life by feeding them real foods!

Stress LITERALLY kills.
When we don’t manage our stresses properly, the adrenal glands maintains a sustained production of the stress hormone cortisol. This cortisol over time affects gene expression which causes dis-ease in the body. The mutates gene can also be passed down.

Stress affects all body organs and is associated with many illnesses. Becoming aware of this and learning ways to manage stress will go a long way to help nourish the body, mind and spirit.

What are some of your stress management routines?

Peppers…. And then more peppers!
Did you know here were over 600 varieties of peppers?
Not only are they best for adding flavor to food, they also have a lot of health benefits including pain reduction, improving circulation, immune boosting, cholesterol lowering etc

As the colder months are approaching, they are a great spice to add to your meals to warm you up.

Avoid them if they irritate your tummy or if you have ulcers or gastritis.

This quote was shared with us this week and I have been pondering on it a lot.
You never know what battles people are fighting with themselves! Be kind!

A random poll for a project I am working on!

My current read!
This book is a must read for everyone especially if you live in westernized cultures.
We are all addicted to something that holds us back from our dreams and life’s purpose and this book breaks down how such distractions affect the brain and keep us in a cycle of dependency.
This book also discusses some ways to break out of the cycle and harness dopamine naturally so we don’t need outside agents to make us feel good.

I will like to hear your thoughts if you have read this book.

Cooking with herbs are a great way to add life and flavor to your meals. They accentuate the wonderful tastes of all the other ingredients and add vitality to every bite. They are also a great way to add health value to your meals.
Many of the herbs have anti-inflammatory properties due to their high content of aromatic agents but these 5 are my favorite because they are easier to include in most meals.

Use them fresh or dried!

Let your food be your medicine!

Hearty and delicious farro porridge for breakfast the other day.
A friend introduced me to this healthy, nutritious ancient grain and I have been having fun creating delicious new recipes with it.

It is packed full of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals making it a complete meal on it’s own. It notably has high amounts of Zinc, magnesium, B3 and antioxidants compared to other grains in it’s family.
If you are tired of oatmeal, this is a great alternative!

Here are the ingredients I used for this porridge:
1/4 cup Farro grain
1/2 cup Almond milk
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
3 drops of vanilla extract
Toped with raisins and pumpkin seeds

Can eat by itself sweetened naturally with fruits or sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia.

Have you ever had this grain?

A better life starts with a better day indeed, and today I hope you give yourself a chance.
Don’t beat up on yourself, the world does enough of that.
Take breaks, step outside, take deep breaths into your body. 🙏🏿

It’s gonna be a wonderful day and I am glad you get to witness it!!! 🥰🙏🏿

Fall, a period of tranquility of one’s conduct and a season of letting go.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is associated with the Metal element and as we see around us, all natural things approach their harvest and completion. Leaves turn vibrant colors, signifying a time where all things begin to conserve and store themselves inside for nourishment.

As evident in nature, it is also true in us. A kind of harvesting and transition happens within us all, harvesting of life experiences and letting go of that which no longer serves us.
This is necessary for spiritual growth and physical wellbeing.

Take advantage of the gift this season offers and begin to let go.

Have a fantabulous week! 🙏🏾 😘

Beauty beauty and more beauty! 😍
