Hello Hivers! Today I have a new discovery as a mother. My two kids has respiratory problems and my cleft baby has lung problems. I am tired of seeing a doctor every 2 months because aside from expensive it is also time consuming like I spend whole day at the hospital. So I search something what makes kid's lung healthy and one of the most accessible fruit is the calamansi, a kind of citrus fruit rich in vitamin C. The last check up we have is last december, an i started to have calamansi juice almost everyday from last week of January. So far they don't catch coughs or runny nose anymore. Today is march and it is 2 months already. It was indeed effective!
Calamansi is expensive for me. It costs 80 pesos for 1 kilo and 1 kilo is only good for 4 days. Stocks are also limited here in the island. Sometimes I can't make calamansi juice for 1 to 2 days so as an alternate I make apple juice or orange juice from fresh fruits.
Here's how I prepare our calamansi juice:
Its three glasses today because I do like it. each glass I only put three calamansi and slice them accordingly.
These are the natural juice then I mix water almost 3/4 of the glass.
Then mix a little sugar.
Then this is the final look, ready for drinking.
I took pictures of them while having a sip. I was so glad seeing their wide smile because it means they like it or they are used to it.
I will always take time to make a fruit juice for them everyday. It could be an apple, pineapple, watermelon, orange, lemon, cucumber or calamansi juice. It helps them in their immune system to be more stronger, it helps also to their bowel movement since my daughter is constipated and before we don't have fruits everyday she can poop once a week and sometimes she has hemorrhoids and in this case I always buy laxatives and it was very expensive.
Fruits here in this island is expensive but it is more expensive to go see a doctor, buy prescriptions and still it is treated chemically. I understand the value of health than everyday expenses. I could be so thrifty and lots of savings but we ate so poorly and time comes we are unhealthy the savings I've got is not enough to treat us.
And because of my investigation, I myself also included in the budget for fruits every week. Aside from having fruits every meal, there's always be vegetables especially the green leaves.
That's all for today hivers, I hope I can motivate you to add natural fruit juices to your kids meal. Thank you for reading my blog until here. Till next blog. Have a great day.
