There are many different teas on the market, but I make my own blend. I mix whatever I have available, but the base is always green tea.
Pearl green tea, organic green tea, black tea, moringa, jasmine, neem leaves, mint, lemon grass, hibiscus, blue pea flower etc.
At the bottom of my large tea mug I have fresh ginger and turmeric, black pepper and dandelion roots.
Dogs are the most loving, loyal friends you can have, according to me.
They give you so much comfort when you are sad and welcome you home with tremendous joy, even if you've only been away for a few minutes.
Your mental health will surely benefit when you have a dog nearby, but remember this. They are living creatures and must be treated back with love and respect.

A breathtaking view is soothing for the soul. When you look out in the distance you can truly feel how small you and your problems are.
Look out over a lake or a valley or up in the sky and just embrace the beauty.

My name is Ani and I'm 53 years old. I'm from Sweden, but I've lived in Kathmandu, Nepal since 2012.
A couple of years ago I got interested in how to boost the immune system and soon health became my passion.
My dad got Diabetes 2, or insulin resistance, at my age and I refuse to end up on that road.
After spending many hours researching health I'm now ready to share my findings with likeminded people.
In October 2022 I changed my life completely. I started eating healthy and exercise. I started to listen to my body and almost a year later I'm more fit and healthy than I was during my teenage years.
I've got a second chance to make things right. Not to necessary live longer, but to live a pain free and active life. Every day counts in my book.
From having stomach and headaches almost every day and eating over the counter medications like it was no tomorrow, I now find solutions in my diet, with natural foods and herbs.
I rarely fell asleep before 3 in the morning and slept till noon. After my life changing decision I get tired early in the evening and wake up with the sun and I feel full of energy all day long.
A somewhat surprising "side effect" of my lifestyle change, I understand things better now, was that I could stop eating the antidepressant medication, SSRI, I'd been eating for 16 years.
I've cut out sugar and gluten from my diet and eat a minimum of carbs, but I'm just human and since I don't have any diseases I treat myself sometimes. But, it never tastes as good as I imagined and I'm always eager to return to my routines.
I've found my path and I hope I can help you find yours!
