Notes I took on my cellphone whereas studying:

– Smoothies with diverse components

– Water with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt, cayenne, and lemon within the am

– Meals with excessive chlorophyll content material: chard, kale, spirulina, chlorella

– Make train sporadic and enjoyable; really problem your self

– Discover a higher water supply. We now have reverse osmosis right here on the home, nevertheless it hasn’t been serviced for the reason that first time we lived right here. So we haven’t been utilizing it. I’ve been filling the big water jugs from Entire Meals. Although I’m looking for a greater choice (glass bottles, an ideal filter like Berkey, or perhaps a supply service). You probably have any concepts, please let me know!
