A right start to one’s morning sets the tone for the entire day.
I try to wake up with a big smile each day. I have always been conscious of my fitness: mental and physical. My morning routine has elements that cater to both.
For mental fitness, I read my gratitude journal from the day before. This practice fills me with contentment, positivity, and thankfulness. Just like the Spring season marks the transition between cold winters and sunny summers, reading my journal makes the looming shadows of the previous day vanish. And I spring out of the bed full of vitality and purpose.
For physical fitness, I pay close attention to my food intake. I realized very early on that I needed to take care of my body. It is the only place I have to live. This often involves consuming a nutrient-rich diet, plenty of fluids, and various superfoods.
Time, a valuable resource that I lack most of the time, has forced me to look for quick recipes. And quick ways to nourish my body. I am aware that one can not have a sound mind without a sound body as the latter is instrumental for flourishing the former.
We all have looked for foods with innumerable benefits. Imagine a dietary ingredient that is not only a dense powerhouse of nutrients but is also convenient and has multiple health advantages. Would you not like to know about this magical superfood? Let me introduce Moringa!
Moringa: The Miracle Tree🪄
Moringa plant, or Moringa Oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree of the family Moringaceae. It is a highly nutritious and versatile tree known for its many health benefits. While the leaves, pods, flowers, and seeds can be beneficial in many ways, one of the most feasible options is adding the powdered leaves to your smoothies.
