My lil bunny loves carrots 🥕

Carrots have a wealth of antioxidants and loads of health benefits.

They are good for our eyes, rich in beta-carotene, that changes into vitamin A, which helps keep our eyes healthy, protects our eyes from the sun and lowers chances of cataract and other eye problems like age-related macular degeneration.

Antioxidants in carrots fight off harmful free radicals and can lower risk of cancer and heart disease. Potassium keeps blood pressure in control.

Dietary fibers helps in weight management, and helps in keeping our blood sugar under control thus lowering the risk of diabetes. Munching on some raw carrots can help ease constipation due to the high fiber content.

They boost our immune system. Vitamin C helps our body build antibodies that defend your immune system and helps our body take in and use iron and prevent infections.

Me and my lil bunny like munching on carrots and sometimes we don’t mind having carrot halwa as well  😋

Lil bunny says thank you to Sujju Maasi for the wonderful Bunny ears 😇

Wipe your stress away like dust on your houseplant’s leaves

Wipe your stress away like dust on your houseplant’s leaves

Stress can be positive; keeping us alert and ready to avoid danger.

Stress becomes negative ("distress") when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between challenges

Stress can play a part in problems such as headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma, arthritis, depression, and anxiety.

To cope with stress, always keep a positive attitude, practice relaxation techniques, exercise regularly. Your body can fight stress better when it is fit. Eat healthy, well-balanced meals. Get enough rest and sleep. Make time for hobbies, interests. 

Taking care of my plants is a great stress buster for me after a long hectic week.

What is your stress buster??

Morning sun shining bright on the sunshine of my life

 My sunshine attending her art class early in the morning today!!!

We need vitamin D to help our body absorb calcium and phosphate from our diet. These minerals are important for healthy bones, teeth, and muscles.

Lack of vitamin D can cause bones to become soft and weak, which can lead to bone deformities.

Most people can make enough vitamin D from being out in the sun daily for short periods

But you should be careful not to burn in the sun, so take care to cover up or protect your skin with sunscreen before your skin starts to turn red or burn.
