Healthy Eating Everyday

Each day on an empty stomach I take a cup of water that has been boiled then cooled, add a teaspoon of Olive Oil, add a teaspoon of Honey, add a pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt then squeeze in the juice of a lemon. This drink aids digestion, boosts heart health and supports immunity.

Next I eat a handful of Pumpkin seeds, Walnuts and Cashews. This also boosts heart health and supports immunity.

i then make my breakfast which today as indicated in the image below was Organic Kashi cereal with fresh Blueberries, Strawberries and Raspberries.
