WE ARE WHAT WE EAT

 Greetings 🌼



This is something we've all been listening to since childhood, by parents, teachers, and caretakers. Since all our elders managed to mention this at least once to us, this may be something we should spend some time thinking about. Our nutrition is deteriorating visibly. And we are aware of it.

We even want to change it, but guess what keeps us from achieving it? 

IT'S THE FOOD WE CONSUME EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!!


So let's understand what exactly " We are what we eat" means

Well, we are aware of the digestive process, so, in the process of final digestion that place in our small intestine, maximum absorption of nutrition is done. So how much nutrition do you think a burger or a packed juice would provide. After the absorption of these so-called nutrients, we feed our body every day is carried to the rest of the body and also the mind. 

Let's say if you ate a bowl of fresh and well-cooked vegetables intact with the nutritional value, Congratulations, your body is going to feel happier because that was exactly what it was meant to eat. The nutrition will reach the body and mind, which in turn, will help the mind be more enthusiastic, alert, and active. 



Regular researches are being conducted to identify how and why there is an increase in mental problems from an early age nowadays. It can depend on what the mother eats during the gestation period or could be the eating habits of the child itself.

Have you ever wondered why you have such a hard time making a decision, I think it is pretty obvious by now. Aggression, anger, confusion, depression are all results of consuming more bad food and very little of the good food.  

The junk food that we eat is infused with qualities that make us addicted so that we keep spending our money on it for the rest of our lives. We have got to make a decision now.





Enough of discussing the problems, let us now move our attention to how we can begin eating healthy


RIGHT REWARD

Rewarding ourselves on achieving the smallest goal is the best feeling. Sometimes rewards are shopping, watching a movie and most of the time, it is going to be a treat. We need to learn to reward ourselves better. 


BEING BUSY

Doing something that you love will always and always keep you busy and your mind completely engrossed in the particular activity.

3 DAY JUICE FAST EXPERIENCE WITH SATVIC MOVEMENT

 Greetings 🌺 Satvic Movement  is a platform that works to spread awareness on fasting regularly, based on the scriptures that were written way before our imagination, but are forgotten now.

 Greetings 🌴 Everyone has been talking about how parents should behave in front of their children to teach them the basic and important values in life. But one thing we cannot deny is that our parents have lived in a completely different reality from today. At least one of our parents has made sacrifice the center of their lives, in most cases, it's the mothers.  Equality is an important factor for all of us today. But the sad reality is that some of our parents have never seen it. So that's the reality for them. We, as their children get irritated when they behave that way without realizing that, that's their way of thinking because they were brought up like that.

5 Reasons why you can't stop overeating

Greetings Our parents' generation ate to live, but in the past few years, the concept has become the opposite. Our generation has started to earn and live just to eat. In today's time, food shouldn't just fill your stomach but also should be upload-worthy. We want the food to look good, taste good, and should contain qualities of not making one fat even when consumed in bulk. Our lifestyles promote overeating which leads to obesity and a lot of other related issues.  So let's discuss why we end up overeating even we are sure that we want to shed a few inches.  PLEASURE Eating at a good restaurant with friends and uploading pictures of the good-looking food feels really good, doesn't it? But that is one of the biggest reasons why we end up eating more than we want to and even more if you have a family waiting to eat dinner with you, you feel bad to refuse, so you eat just to keep them happy. Refusing to friends and family can be difficult, but just sitting with them
