My biggest reason why I prioritize my health is to remove my laziness.
And few of the reasons I found out that cause my laziness is white tongue and too many carbs.
White Tongue, Overthinking and Anxiety
I shared my home remedies about how I treat my white tongue in the previous post and so far, I am somewhat satisfied with the result.
Remember the weeks where I keep on making posts, those are the proofs that my home medication works.
Virgin coconut oil and ginger tea drives away my laziness and extreme unproductive days.
I wrote a bunch of details in my previous post on types of home treatments I tried, while the number 1 I used now is; brush my teeth, sprits virgin coconut oil in my mouth, and gulp a small amount of ginger tea (don't drink it) and let it stay there for as long as I can. I like to do it, as soon as I wake up and repeat it every time I eat food.
That routine has been very effective for me.
So why the skipped post lately?
Carbs is the Culprit
I think I overdid the carbs lately.
I believe in a lot of health benefits of going on a healthy low-carb diet /keto. I have seen the result one time when I tried it. (please check Dr Berg's videos on Youtube)
But since I still cannot completely avoid carbs just yet, moderate and better choice of carbs is what I allow in my diet.
If I get to eat carbs, I will choose rice instead of highly processed food like biscuits and bar cakes(they usually contain high fructose syrup and bad oils like corn/canola oil).
But lately, I am overdoing my carbs and I am reaping the consequences.
I have a bad mental focus and highly unproductive days. This is how it has been for my self-care health routine update and it was going on a steep hill.
I need to add more conviction and accountability to my health.
Even the symptoms of white tongue disappear (anxiety, overthinking, and fatigue), I still can't be productive with a lot of carbs in my blood.
My brain just doesn't like to work.
Bright Side How was My Laziness and Extreme Unproductive Days
This experience somehow gave me a lesson and give me an opportunity to improve.
Now I know that even I eliminated the depression and anxiety that the white tongue gives, I still need to sharpen my brain with a lot of good food and of course LOW AND BETTER CHOICE OF CARBS.
Improving overall immunity I think is the key here.
If I just focus on my overthinking and anxiety / white tongue, I will still have problems on the side.
If I stick to an unhealthy low carb/keto diet only (because I don't have the capacity to provide organic veggies every day), I would still feel depressed and weak because I lack the right nutrients my body needs to feel energetic mind and body.
That is it for now.
Thanks for reading all the way.
Accountability is still key to maintain a healthy lifestyle I guess.
self-care is always perceived as taking care of yourself.
Maybe investing in yourself.
