Fresh Food, Fresh Look, Fresh Detox Salad

What is your idea and desire to feel great, look fantastic, be amazingly energetic and healthy during ALL seasons of the year, not just for this month or occasion or a trip here and there? What do you really feel about this subject?

Most importantly, what do you really do about it?

Taking into the account responsibilities we need to attend to on the daily basis and frequently the stress that comes with that, we should take our emotional, physical, phsycological needs seriously. And make it a priority, without which nothing will be done at best.

From my close circle of friends, I do know that some of them do what needs to be done partially or selectively, depending on time, availability, etc.

Only consistency counts! I don't want to be rude or disrespectful to anyone. But to drive this message home, I need to say this.

In the quiet of your own, you could decide what needs to be done and at what schedule. Time does not wait for anyone or anything. Make a month of January a robust starting point for your new year. New You, if needed.

Here's a great and simple salad that would feed your body and give you more energy for your daily life.
