WEEK 3: Ok! Ready for tip #3 in the 5 part mini-series to help you energize through the day and make your life so much easier? So far I’ve covered tip #1 Disconnect with gadgets and electronics while having meals. tip #2 Reduce the use of chemicals and highly processed foods and Tip #3 today I am covering regional and seasonal fruits, which is the most essential snack that can improve your immunity through a power house of micro-nutrients present in them. ?????????????? Consume one whole fruit or the quantity that fits in your hand as a snack. Refrain from juices and processed/canned fruits. Frozen is acceptable. Here's why: 1. Did you know that more than 2.5billion people across the globe suffer from micronutrient deficiencies? With the increase in consumption of processed foods/snacks, which have become cheaper and junkier, there is a lack of nutrient deficiency which results in allergies, auto-immune conditions, PCOD, diabetes, loss of fertility, ,obesity and fatigue. (THUMB RULE: The cheaper the product, it is either made from GMO/refined substances with a mix of man-made chemicals) 2. DO NOT let the natural sugars occurring in fruits refrain you from consuming them, because the fiber in a fruit co-factors the sugars in a fruit. 3. Apart from being a power house of vitamins, minerals and fiber; Regional and Seasonal fruits are a host of bioactive compounds that are grinding away as co-factors and flagging agents for endocrine system to maintain hormonal balance. 4. They are good prebiotics that will allow for diversity in gut bacteria. 5. The concentrated power of micronutrients is responsible for a healthy skin, instant energy, strong lasting memory, and many more. 6. When you consume REGIONAL and SEASONAL fruits, it's a SUSTAINABLE approach that contributes to the soil health of the region, and allow for a healthier ecosystem. Include at least a minimum of 10 varieties of REGIONAL and SEASONAL fruits throughout the year Don’t forget to catch me LIVE {LINK in BIO} tonight at 7pm EST, where I dive deeper into this tip and answer your questions! #yourmealmatters #eatlocalfruits

When I started Your Meal Matters, it was clear to me exactly what I wanted to achieve. I want YMM to spread CURE by FOOD practices. My relationship with food has always been on a spiritual level. When I was 16yrs old, I observed that farm lands were converted to commercial lands, the city was expanding and the politicians were claiming it as development! I didn't quite understand, how can you devoid a farmer of his livelihood and call that a development? How will one eat, if there are no farmers? When I first decided to pivot from Engineering to Nutrition as a career, I observed that in the year 2004 there was a 12-15yr gap in westernization, with respect to food products, between India and western countries, but today in 2021 because of globalization there is no more than 3yrs of gap. I’m a firm believer in learning from my mistakes, so let’s learn from the mistakes of the so called “DEVELOPMENT”, and let’s take control of our bodies, because that is the ONLY place we LIVE in! #yourmealmatters #ponajella #curebyfood #traditionalhealing #naturalhealing #nutritioncoach #supportlocalfarmers #supportfarmers

WEEK 2: Last week I announced I'm doing a 5-week Thrive with Energy Challenge, to help you energize through the day and make your life easy with simple habits and foods. Well, get ready because here's number 2 in the challenge. ?Reduce the use of chemicals (like lotions, perfumes, cleaning supplies fresheners, etc) and highly processed foods (like refined vegetable oils, GMO foods, artificial flavorings and colors, etc). BRAIN TOXINS such as ☣️wood preservatives, ☣️metals such as mercury, ☣️aluminum, ☣️lead, ☣️petrochemicals, and ☣️pesticides. Here's why: 1. Neurotoxins specifically target the nerves in our bodies. 2. Symptoms of neurological diseases like brain fog and impaired memory can start presenting almost immediately after the cells have been damaged by these toxins. 3. Immune system for each person responds differently to such toxins While there’s no way to completely avoid them, there are things you can do to support and protect your brain and overall health. ?JOIN me LIVE in our private FB Group (LINK in BIO) at 7pm EST to know how. #yourmealmatters #toxinsout #toxins #detoxification #womeninleadership #womenempowerment #energyhealing #energyhabits #bossbabe #bosslife
