What is Self-Care?

Difficult Week

Last month, it was a tough month. My kids and I caught the flu. The family was in bed most of the time. I can barely have enough energy to do my usual things. My health is not as good as it use to be. I know I need to focus on self-care once I get better. This made me focus on what is self-care for me.

Improvements Starts from Within

Mom we sometimes have to worry about our family, the husband, the kids, the household, you barely have time or energy for yourself. I made changes to my lifestyle; I decided to take supplements to help with my energy level.

Supplements to Improve Life

I need a change so I started taking natural supplements:

What is Self-Care?

Salus Floradix formula – natural liquid iron supplemet, form red bloodcells, improve iron deficiency, and easy on the stomach

Rhoziva – herbal blend, good for fatigue, improve mental health, improve memory, improve on physical endurance, improve physical and mental health, health when under a large amount of stress

B complex 100 – high amount of vitamin B, good for liver detox, balance cholesterol level and balance hormone.

The above supplement does help to improve my fatigue and stress level.

Time for self-care

I made changes to my schedule to give myself ‘ME TIME’ which I know I am finding it is very important. I started to put more effort into my well-being, even though I can become too exhausted to want to spend time on myself. I try to force myself to spend time on myself.

I make it a regime to workout more in the morning and in the evening. Sometimes I would lay down for 10 minutes to just relax and clear my mind, it really made a big difference. Later, I would do something I enjoy for 5-10 minutes, for example, read a book or sketch a drawing. Doing the above tasks, it really help me to de-stress and help me to relax to improve my well-being.

Gluten-free Healthy Granola Bar

Charchar recently received a blood splat test to test her food sensitivity. She had her finger pricked by the Doctor who fills a sheet with eight circles. Once we reach the three weeks I was getting anxious to see what Charchar was sensitive to. I wish she would be sensitive to gluten, not dairy, or eggs since Charchar really likes her cheese and her egg custard. I making her gluten-free healthy granola bars would help.

Results

Once the Doctor gave me the results I was a little overwhelmed with the results. I am glad to have finally found out what Charchar’s sensitivity to and be able to change what I feed her. I thought she would be sensitive to either gluten, instead of dairy or eggs but no it was more detail than what I thought. I found out she is sensitive to not only dairy, egg, wheat but twenty other food items. This was not what I thought I would find out from the blood splat test. However, it is amazing to find out the amount of detail from the test.

Food Sensitive Snack

After I found out Charchars food sensitivity I decided to go shopping to get ideas. Most snacks have one or two ingredient Charchar has a sensitivity to. It was a little frustrating. I decided to spend more time making gluten-free healthy granola bar.

Homemade Granola Bar

3/4 cup of raw cashew nut

Butternut Mac Gluten-Free Dairy Free Egg-Free

Charchar loves macaroni and cheese. How different would a regular macaroni and cheese be from a no dairy, no egg, and gluten-free butternut macaroni. With Charchar’s new diet, I want to let her have her favorite dishes with the limit that she has. I am exploring various dishes with no dairy, no egg and gluten-free. It is a little tricky.

Recipe:

Ingredient:

1 1/2 butternut squash 16oz pkg pasta noodle

1/4 cup raw cashew 1tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp Dijon mustard 1/4 tsp black pepper

1/8 tsp turmeric 1/2 large onion

1/4 liquid from the cooking noodle 1tsp salt

1/4 tsp garlic pwd 1/8 tsp smoked paprika

1/8 tsp nutmeg

Instruction:

  1. In a medium pot, add water. Once the water boils. Add butternut squash and onion. Cook on medium heat.
  2. In another pot, boil water to cook noodle. Keep the cooking liquid for later once the noodle is done.

Comparison

Charchar

Charchar enjoys the sweetness from the butternut pasta. It is great to add more vegetable in my daughter’s diet. Nothing like adding extra nutrient to a child’s diet.

Butternut Mac

Homemade Yogart Gluten-free and Vegan

My daughter can be a fussy eater. The most challenging part with Char is her being on a gluten-free, no egg, no dairy diet is that she can be a picky eater. There are times where she is set in her ways and would not like to try anything new. However, I want her to have enough nutrient.

Homemade Yogart Gluten-free and Vegan

Soy Base Yogart

I bought a couple of different soy base dairy-free yogurt for Charchar to try, but she didn’t like any of the flavor or the yogurt. I didn’t want to keep on purchasing dairy-free yogurt; it can get quite costly especially since it would probably take a while to find ones Charchar likes. I decided to make my own.

Homemade Yogart

Homemade Yogart Gluten-free and Vegan

Ingredient:

1 can coconut cream 14oz kids probiotic capsule

Instruction:

  1. Open a can of coconut cream put in a glass jar.
  2. Break open the two capsules and add to the coconut cream. Stir.
  3. Cover the glass jar with a cheese cloth secure with elastic band.
  4. Let this sit in a warm area for 24-48 hours.
  5. After the 24 or 48 hours. Refridgerate.
  6. To serve yogart, scoop a couple of spoons of the yogart into a bowl. Add vanilla extract and drizzle with honey. Add almond milk to the yogart and mix. If you like the yogart thick you would add a little almond milk, but if you like less thick add more almond milk.

I gave Char the yogurt. Surprisingly, she really enjoys the yogurt; she like the creamy texture of the yogurt. I was a little worried at first. Now, I can experiment with different flavors to see what my daughter likes.

Going not only Gluten-free, No egg, and No dairy

I recently took my daughter to a Naturopathic Doctor because the Allergist I saw didn’t help as much as I had hoped. Based on the result, my daughter didn’t react to any of the main items such as dairy, wheat, egg, and nut. However, she still reacts to something.

Going not only Gluten-free, No egg, and No dairy

Gluten-free

When I had suspected she was senstivitive to gluten, once I switch her to gluten-free her conditions would get better. Therefore I thought she had a gluten sensitivity. 

Recommendation

The Naturalpathic Doctor mentioned the highest food allergy is due to wheat, egg, and dairy. It would be best for Char to not eat the three items for three months. I know it would be challenging. The time I started on a gluten-free diet; it was extremely stressful. Now, I would need to eliminate three items. It would be tough. Hopefully, after I put Char on this strict diet, it would improve her condition. After the three weeks, the Doctor would be doing a blood draw to test her food sensitivity. 

Supplements

While Char will be on a strict diet, the Doctor recommended two supplements to improve my daughter’s gut health and development.

-OmegAvail Citrus Sorbet Smoothie helps to support optimum cognitive health and brain function(brain, eye and nerve developments)

-HMF Natogen Probiotic Formula

Wheat-free, Gluten-free, and Grain-free.

Wheat, rice, corn, and oat are made from grass seed.
