Hey YOU, incredible person reading this…The truth is you are confident and good enough already with who you are, where you are at and what you have right now to have the success you want in life. Don’t let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn that skill and go after it! I believe in you so much! Have an awesome day! – Love, Nat ❤️

For changing our healthy lives firstly we have to change our food habits. We should avoid packed food and eat only green vegetables, fruits and home cooked food. After that we can think for healthy life. If we avoid this, there are many diseases waiting for us.

If your mother is type 2 over half a million people in the UK have been able to lose the weight and kick the meds simply by gradually changing their diet. Cutting out gradually the amount of carbohydrates they consume. It’s the cause of type 2 in the first place.
Look up Dr. David Unwin on the subject. or Paul Mason.

Beans and rice, which are some of the greatest food used in the world, are affordable, available and nutritious. The fact people want to eat meat and what-not doesn’t mean low cost options aren’t available.
