Rejuvenated Life By a She

Hello Everyone!!! It’s another good Thursday……. it’s fast becoming my favourite day of the week. This one seems to have come faster than usual; I suppose it’s because I spent last week making my first ever Sourdough Starter and it turned out right! 👏Did someone ask “what is that?” Simply put, I made my own natural yeast for baking. It’s not hard at all, all you need is flour and water… that will be a topic for another day. Today is about my second favourite thing………. HONEY It is one of the best things in life. It’s not only sweet but very valuable.   That sweet, sticky and gooey stuff from bees is one of the most versatile and nutritious things to have at home.   According to Benjamin Franklin, “if you have no Honey in your Pot, have some in your Mouth”! I totally agree. Most people see honey as a sweetener or a better form of sugar. However, it is not only a great replacement for sugar but an invaluable food for health. To begin, honey reduces blood pressure - a key factor f...

Hello everyone! I hope you have all taken at least one step towards living very well. Today, I'm writing on the main factors of a healthy lifestyle. I will like to use a well known proverb, "prevention is better than cure" to describe how to manage our bodies. If good care and nurturing preserves our bodies from sickness, then it should go without saying that doing so should be of utmost importance. Especially for those of us who live in a country where good healthcare is scarce. Have mercy on us Nigerians, O Lord! A healthy lifestyle is multi-dimensional and it's important to pay attention to all aspects. I have broken it into the following...................  1.   Eat a well balanced diet. My mantra on food is "eat the best of what you can afford". You don't have to eat everything that has been labelled  a "superfood" as a number of foods deliver the same nutritional values. Choose what works for you (convenient) but try to buy the best of wh...

Hello everyone. Today is another good day! Writing on pots and pans seems like the appropriate follow up from last week’s post on dinnerware. Meanwhile, I hope there is no one hiding a favourite mug, plate or dish that is worn and calling for the bin. And please, please, please, do not give them out. If they can poison you, then they can most definitely poison every other person! Thank you. 💕 As with dinnerware, can pots and pans be toxic? Unfortunately, the answer is YES. Pots and pans can and do react to the acids and enzymes present in food. Depending on the materials used to make them, leaching is quite a common thing in pots and pans.  We all buy pots and pans out of necessity and choose based on what we can afford. There is a very wide range of pots and pans available, from the low priced ones to the eye popping expensive ones. The low priced ones can see you through a year to three with the careful use of wooden utensils.   Don’t store food in the pots and pans it was ...

Do you think of lead poisoning whilst eating? There is every chance that each time you eat, you food is being contaminated by lead. A lot of our dishes, plates, bowls and cups have lead in their composition, be it, melamine, porcelain, china, bone china or glass, they all have lead in them. They are usually present in the glaze or colourful designs on decorated and brightly coloured dinnerware. They are also used on surfaces for durability so even the plain white ones are not exempted but may be safer because flaws are more visible on white. We are safe from the lead that is used in these things until it begins to leach into our food and drinks! This takes place when our dining wares start to have cracks, crevices, scratches, pits etc, creating avenues for it to get into our food. That may result in slow poisoning which over time with its accumulation may lead to adverse health effects. Although our bodies can tolerate some lead, it is better to be safe than sorry. How muc...
