The Wonder of “Five a Day” - Fruits and Vegetables

  I’m thrilled to welcome you to Rejuvenated Life By A She. I hope you will be immensely inspired to live well if you are yet to embark on that journey and for those already on it, keep on keeping on. 👏Strive for progress and not perfection!  In case there is anyone looking for a shortcut to being healthy, I am sorry but there is none. It takes time and deliberate efforts to build a better and stronger version of you. The good news is that it’s never too early or too late to start.   A step in the right direction is always a good one. “ The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. ”           Ann Wigmore Today’s post is about what we all probably know but may not be practising. We should all be eating fruits and vegetables like our lives depend on them, because truth be told, they do. They are actually the most important aspect of our healthy lifestyle. Let us eat them to be in good h...

Herbs & Spices - overflow of goodness

  HELLO! I am very excited to welcome you to “Rejuvenated Life by a She”. According to Henry Cloud, “we change our behaviour when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing and that the consequences of the pain is what motivates us to change.” I really hope you will not wait for pain as a motivation to live well.  😏 There are many misconceptions about healthy eating. A lot of people assume that eating healthy means eating bland and boring foods. The solution to that is herbs and spices, they add flavour to food and make healthy meals delicious and interesting. One of the biggest benefits of using herbs and spices is that they are a healthy way to get you into eating right. Enjoying your food is very key to maintaining healthy habits for the long haul. Herbs are leaves which can be used fresh or dried, e.g. thyme, rosemary, parsley etc. Spices on the other hand, are usually dried and ground from barks and roots of plants and trees. The use of herbs ...

KEEP CALM - Use Essential Oils

HELLO EVERYONE! 📢Today is one of those days I feel like a rockstar. I can’t tell if it’s the honey, the olive oil or just the lovely smell of Lavender, Rosemary, Juniper and Black-pepper. I am sure glad it’s not one of those days that I can’t find something that is right there in my hand.  💃 I hope everyone has imbibed at least one new habit towards living well. I will like you all to remember that Healthy Living is about being responsible for EVERYTHING that goes in and out of you.   Many things are good, many are important but only a few are essential, Essential Oils is one of them. I discovered essential oils many years ago in my bid to preserve my sanity from the constant noise that came from living with someone whose nasal passage was never clear. Little did I know I was on a self discovery journey. It turned out to be not only a relief for the He allergy sufferer but also an answer to all my moods. It’s amazing how I am in   different moods each day of the week....

BODY MASSAGE - An Indulgence or A Necessity?

HELLO! I hope you are all very well. After the write up on honey, I had enquiries on where to source raw honey locally and I’m really glad that happened. I did some search and   happy to inform my readers in Nigeria that I have raw honey from an apiary in Oyo State. 👏 How many of you rolled your eyes at today’s topic? I urge you to forget any thought that massage is only a feel-good way to indulge or pamper yourself, it is actually a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well being as well as have a happier life. It doesn’t matter if you have a specific health condition or are just looking for a stress reliever,   It is just what the body needs. Health is a relationship between you and your body. Take good care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live. And yes, life can be hectic and we don’t have enough time to take care of ourselves, but massage is very much needed for stress reduction and rejuvenation. A touch to the body can heal the mind and ...

We Are Surely What We Eat - eat how you want to live!

Hello everyone!!! Another good day to live well. “Your current life is the result of your previous choices, if you want something different, begin to choose differently” Joe Tichio In our journey of living well, CONSISTENCY is very key to success. As Mike Murdock put it “you will never change your life until you change something you do daily”. Taking one good step consistently will give a better result than taking various steps haphazardly. I’m sure we can all agree that what we eat is important. How about the when? The timing of our meals can play an important role in our digestive health. Having a regular eating schedule keeps our systems in top shape. Not eating at consistent times everyday can lead to bloating, indigestion and overworking of the stomach. Being creatures of habit, setting specific times for meals and eating at the same time everyday will enable our bodies know when to expect food, prepare for it, thereby improving digestion and prevent overeating. Apparently, our b...
