What a nice post!
I totally agree with you; we don't need so many specialized products or equipment to take care of ourselves and stay in optimal health. The most important thing is, perhaps (apart from money and the availability of the essentials), discipline. It always helps if genetics doesn't work against you, but who can help it? So it's best to concentrate on what we can do--reduce stress, for example; keeping toxic people behind the fence, etc...
I had never heard of fire cider before. At home, we started drinking water kefir a few weeks ago and it's been great. And since I feed it with apples, it tastes a bit like cider to me. Now I want to try this recipe of yours; I'm more and more interested in these concoctions.
Shucks, thank you my friend 🤗
Discipline, yes, you said it! I try to love myself and take time to do the things I need for my body the same way I would for my children. We don't avoid caring for them when we are tired, so why do we do it to ourselves?
Of course, it doesn't end up working quite like that, you know how that is I'm sure... haha, but at least it makes self-care more of a must than an option in my mind.
And oh my gosh THIS
When I hit 30, my BS tolerance meter lost lots of height LOL! Guarding my energy might be one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Definitely an underrated and free beauty hack; don't give your sugar to jerks! 😼😂💗
I've been wanting to try kefir! You saying you like it is my final nudge to try it I think. If you like it, I bet I will too! Feeding it with apples is an ace idea!!
Thanks for the smiles and idea 💚
😂 That's when you know you're too old for that BS 🤣
About water kefir:
Totally. I tried feeding it raisins and it wasn't the same; I had a hard time getting it down my throat, hehe. Red apples is the best for me so far; water kefir ptractically becomes cider.
