To say that the coronavirus pandemic took everyone in America by surprise would be an understatement. Due to the pandemic, I am just now reporting on the latest with how I am taking care of myself in 2020. At the onset of the outbreak in February, I increased my intake of healthy herbs, antioxidants and superfoods like olive leaf extract, barley grass and Spirulina in my green juices that I make for myself, as well as taking ionic zinc, vitamin C and selenium every day to up my immune system.
Since all of my work got cancelled, I left Nashville at the start of the stay-at-home-order to come to the mountains in TN where my mother lives to get groceries for her so she would not have to get out of the house. I did not want to take any chances on my mother getting this virus. This time of being sequestered has been a time of renewal, as I have not been the least bit bored and have remained disciplined in my eating. I feel healthier than I was at the beginning of the pandemic, hunkered down inside for almost two months. I have taken this time to fast, pray, and workout on my own treadmill, along with body sculpting exercises. I feel addicted to eating asparagus these days. It is known as the “anti-aging vegetable” and the best for keeping insulin levels in check and also great for weight loss.
Although I still love how eating vegan makes me feel so light, I now eat wild caught salmon about once a week, have hormone-free bone broth and supplement with omega3 fish oils. I also love avocados and have learned not to be afraid of healthy fat. My skin is clear and hair is thick. Weight gain is not an issue, even while staying inside daily, when we eat right and practice intermittent fasting. I am continuing to drink a gallon of alkaline water most every day, and I sleep good at night (thanks to Ashwagandha, which I just discovered, along with peppermint and lavender essential oils). I stay busy, and, despite such bad news in our world about this virus, God keeps my heart at peace. I count my blessings and don’t live in fear. When my clothing is lose it never fails to make me feel on top of the world, even in a pandemic. Disciplining myself to eat right is worth it.
Every time I watch the news, I am thankful I am no longer living in NYC and in Nashville now instead. I continue to experience confidence feeling better than junk food tastes with every day that passes. I look forward to all that lies in store when life resumes after the stay-at-home orders are lifted.
