YOUR HEALTH.

How many times have you said to yourself "I'll wait till I have more time" or "It's too expensive or "I'll just do one more thing first" and then time passes, the appointment becomes more expensive and that to-do list grows longer.

Why do we tend to put our health further down the priority list?
Nutrition, exercise, sleep, physical or mental health, we've all been there.

I encourage you to put your health first. Write down the things that have been playing on your mind and jot them down. Make the appointment. Go for the walk. Make that recipe you've been wanting to try.

To sum it up, there's no better time than now! .

WHOLE FRUIT VS. FRUIT JUICE

It is a common observation that people prefer having fruit juices rather than whole fruits and many are of the view that fruit juices are healthier or have enhanced nutrient content than whole fruits which is nothing but a major misconception.

Fruit juices since they have the fiber content removed entirely are as bad for you as other drinks because in the absence of fiber natural sugars from the fruit cause a surge in your blood glucose level the same way as any other commercially processed drink would do.

Fiber present in whole fruits binds with the sugars and allows a slow release thus preventing sudden surge in blood glucose level which occurs on the consumption of fruit juices.

To sum it up, whole fruits must always be preferred over fruit juices!
