A little thing you can do
You'd like to make sustainable choices in life. But do you think it is too hard? You are worried about the earth and think "what can I do?"
there are so many things you can do to help. Just bringing your own bag to the supermarket. riding your bicycle to a shop instead of taking your car. add tofu to your stir fry instead of having beef. these are all easy things that you can do. Imagine an entire community does it. The effect is enormous.
another important thing to do is to talk to your friends and families. inspire them to do the same.
1 home
-suitable size house for your need. (bigger house needs more energy)
-choose the location that minimises your need to drive.
-when you renovate reuse the material, select materials that are more sustainable.
-design your house so it is more energy efficient (insulation, low energy appliances, water savers etc.)
2.Food
-Eat less meat, seafood, eggs and dairy products
-choose local and organic
-choose whole foods instead of processed
-buy bulk to save packaging
3.transport
-drive and fly less
-buy the most fuel efficient vehicles possible
-improve your driving habits,
-use cleaner fuel
4.consumption
-choose sustainable products (fair trade, local quality, recycled etc.)
-reduce your consumption
-reuse
-repair
-recycle

raw cheesecake goji and chocolate marble
since the purchase of my beloved vitamix this is what I have been longing to make!
Raw cheesecake!
this time I have made goji and chocolate marble cheesecake and it was heavenly!
it just melts in the mouth. it is so rich though even my daugther couldn't finish it all. One of good things about is (other than the taste of course) you can pop it back to the freezer and will last for a month or so. and you can take it out as you want to eat it. (I doubt it lasts for a month in our house hold though.)
hemaview screening
even though I am very careful with what I eat, like everyone else I have wondered if I was getting what I need for the optimal health. Last night I got this thong called hemaview screening and cellular health analyser.
tiny 2 drops of my blood from a finger was taken and after 2 minutes the picture was on a computer screen. My tiny blood circles were swimming around. so cute.
It can tell you a lot of things like a nutrient deficiencies, your immune system etc. From the diet I am on my natural path was looking for iron, B12 and folate levels. I was glad to know everything was normal for me. Very good picture.
Next It was a cellular health analysis. It will tell you your body composition, fluid distribution, biological age, energy levels etc. everything was good to excellent! except my fat mass....
I knew that I was quite thin but I will have to work on gaining a bit more fat in me I think. I was pretty happy with the overall results though. especially my energy level was indicated as more than good. (85% is good and mine was 105.8%)
I do recommend people to get this done if you are concerned or just for an interest. Even though you are not feeling sick or energy level is OK it is always an improvement you can make for your health.
