Saludos estimadísimos amigos de Holos&Lotus me es grato compartir con todos ustedes mi participación en la 2da Iniciativa organizada por el amigo Hive account@emiliorios a quien de primer momento agradezco todos sus consejos y recomendaciones en este camino hacia la salud física y a la vez emocional.

Greetings dear friends of Holos&Lotus, I am pleased to share with all of you my participation in the 2nd Initiative organized by my friend Hive account@emiliorios whom I thank from the outset all his advice and recommendations on this path to physical and emotional health.

I really have to admit that my eating habits have changed a lot and of course for the better. And that does not mean that before I was almost 40 I did not know that I should eat healthy foods, it was more like a way of ignoring what was appropriate and getting carried away by what was the pleasure of pleasures "Eating everything without control". There are situations, above all, of health that lead to making decisions that save lives and in my case to avoid some diseases, including poor circulation, I decided to include healthy foods in my meals, reduce portions and of course eliminate fried foods that are so harmful to our body, and this is part of the aptitude towards integral well-being.

¿Cómo eliges tus alimentos para realizar tus platos; esos platos que les ofreces a tu familia? - ¿How do you choose your food to make your dishes; those dishes that you offer to your family?

Fortunately to look at it from the positive, when we start to feel bad physically we have two options: Change what is causing us that problem or simply stop existing sooner rather than later. It is precisely the necessary change that will save our lives and my constant struggle is to get my family to follow the same path as me.

To tell you how I chose healthy foods on my plates, I must tell you that it has been part of a path that I travel every day, first of all I started an exercise routine for women, which He took me to see a nutritionist.

This step is extremely important because through the guidance of a specialist I was able to go more safely when it comes to including healthy foods on my plates, he has even provided me with a nutritional list to improve my habits, that is a great help and is the starting point to start taking care of myself and my family.

In my medical evaluation I was not so bad, I only have to maintain or lose my weight very little, my body fat is at normal levels and although it was a surprise because I thought I was worse, Hehehe, it is recommended that I reduce the portions of food on my plates, more than anything in carbohydrates, include many vegetables and fruits that provide the necessary nutrients and sugars for my physical balance, proteins as long as they are in stews, roasted or grilled, grains are also an option but not for me because of my irritable bowel. In this sense, I choose the foods that I include daily in my meals and without a doubt the advances and improvements in health are immediate and therefore my emotional balance is growing, I really feel better and I don't have to starve myself, hehehe.

Cuando vas a elegir los alimentos para cocinar: ¿Lees las etiquetas, te fijas en el peso y en las cantidades que vas a cocinar según cada comensal; eliges los que menos componentes dañinos tienen?

When you are going to choose the food to cook: ¿Do you read the labels, pay attention to the weight and the quantities that you are going to cook according to each diner; Do you choose the ones that have less harmful components?

Before starting my physical and mental improvement activities, I always read the labels of the products I bought, but even when I realized that they were unhealthy due to some component, I took them with me. Now, in addition to reading the labels, I check the proportions that each thing brings, I look at expiration dates, the chemicals that are harmful, that is, I am more aware of what I am going to buy for myself and my family and there are definitely things that they are excluded from my pantry.

I would like to feel more confident when buying fruits and vegetables but in this city it is a bit difficult to buy organic or top quality products, plus the economy is not helping. On the other hand, I try to prepare the amount of food necessary for me and my family, nothing to save for later as my husband loved, only the portions that will be consumed at mealtime. Water is a great ally when it comes to my exercises because I consume large amounts of water to rehydrate myself and when I don't have natural juices in my meals I drink water.

¿Te sientes satisfech@ con la forma como en estos momentos estás eligiendo tus platos?

¿Do you feel satisfied with the way you are currently choosing your dishes?

Of course I did, it was just a matter of convincing myself and getting started, and although sometimes I consume a little something outside the parameters of what is healthy, it is something that now I can control and it is sometimes more than occasional. Taking care of the only body I have is a wise decision because health is so important to everything we do that even if it takes us a while to take the first step, we have to venture, try and try.

I don't feel like a professor of healthy eating, but I am choosing my food much better, I eliminate many chemicals and processed foods from my meals, and in that I am, on the right track giving testimony of how good I feel with the change in my eating habits, trying rich and healthy foods, my physical health appreciates it daily and the commitment must be to keep up, not faint, fight anxiety and be in sync with my emotional well-being. It is very necessary to reflect on the changes, on the goals to project, healthy foods are part of the path towards an integral well-being of the being, being at peace with the decisions made helps to maintain the sequence and continuity of what is best for us.

_{Cerrando - Closing…}

As you can see, it was a lot of help to be able to choose healthy foods in my meals, I have been in this diet and exercise routine for a few months, my husband and daughter are eating healthier than before, however, they still need a little more commitment and we are working on that. The idea is that as a family we have a balanced and healthy diet so that we can all move forward together. Now that I think about it, I don't know why I didn't do it before, but it's never too late to take care of the health of our body and thus maintain balance in our mind and spirit. Practice makes the recipe so perfect that you don't need to review the notes, I'm on that path.
