Health and Food for Your Happiest, Healthiest Self
My Body Is My Temple
''We are what we eat'' and ''My body is my temple'' – two phrases that resonate deeply with me. Our bodies serve as our ultimate homes, and just like any cherished space, we must nurture and care for them. Picture this: would you want to reside in a dark, dingy, neglected dwelling? Of course not. Likewise, we shouldn't subject our bodies to neglect.
Maintaining a clean, well-lit temple isn't just about physical cleanliness; it encompasses our overall health, both physical and mental. Our bodies thrive when we prioritize wholesome nourishment and mindful consumption.
