Do you like eating in Fast Food Chains? Do you most of the time eat out or order dinner outside? Maybe the reason why is that you don't have much time because of your hectic working schedule or your hectic school schedule.
Every time I travel from my house to work and university, I always see a lot people eating in fast food chains. Name it! And the line in the counter is always LONG. I can't blame them because fast food chains are developed and established for the sake of making the life of consumers convenient. Most people nowadays DO NOT have time to prepare their food... breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yes, most of them rely on these Fast Food Chains to feed them whenever they are hungry.
For me Fast Food means FAST LIFE. Instant Food means INSTANT DEATH.
Let's see. Almost all of the foods offered by them contains HIGH CALORIE, high saturated fat content, oozing with MSG (Monosodium Glutamate), artificial flavorings, preservatives so on and so forth. Click the link for Nutritional Data of Fast Food Chains you love so much.

These things are bad for our health. However, even if people know this FACT, most of them do not have a choice but to eat these oily and calorie-full foods because of TIME CONSTRAINT and mostly because they are DELICIOUS.
The good thing is... We can detoxify our body by drinking Detox drinks like Lemon Water. It is one of the simple ways to flush out toxins and to feel healthy inside and outside.
What you need:
1-2 slice/s of Lemon
Warm Water
Note: There are different ways to prepare Lemon Water Detox, but this is how I prepare mine. As much as possible I want it to be low in calorie.
What I do is that, every morning after I wake up, brush my teeth and wash my face; I go straight to the kitchen and grab my lemon. I squeeze 1-2 slices into my glass and pour in warm water. I drink this prior to eating any food in the morning.
It has been said that Lemon Water:
- Helps our digestive system to digest food more easily.
- Burns fats and helps us in weight loss (with proper exercise).
- Boost our Immune System. Lemon is high in Vitamin C.
- Clears our skin. As we take Lemon Water, it flushes out unwanted toxins. It also helps in clearing our blemishes in our body. (It depends on how long you've been drinking Lemon Water).
- Maintain Elasticity of the skin. Helps to avoid getting premature wrinkles.
I started drinking Warm Lemon Water on the first week of March and I could say that it helped me to feel better about my body. The reason why I started drinking this is actually for my digestive system. I have a weak metabolism and I needed a natural way to make it better.
This Lemon Water Detox is worth trying for. :)
Sincerely,
Erica/Erix

Today is Wednesday. HOLIDAY! However, I might not enjoy my day because recently I have a minor eye infection. My eyes are very sensitive to heat and pollution and I must be careful all time. Last week, I forgot to apply my eye ointment which causes my eyes to be vulnerable with dust, heat and sweat. So, I must rest and do hot compress. People also suggested that I should wear sunglasses to protect my eyes... but sunglasses are not good on me...
Nevertheless, Have a good day everyone! Stay healthy!
Things that made me happy:
- Food shopping. Shopping for foods is one of my favorite things to do... lately.
- Playing guitar... as always.
- Talking and laughing with my friends.
- Healthy conversations with my colleague. Recently, they started to eat healthy foods... and I AM ONE OF THE REASONS. haha. :)
