We can define wellness as an active process of becoming aware and making choices towards a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth.

The world we live in is faster than ever, our lives have never been this rapid, especially in the urban cities areas. Most often due to our daily activities from our jobs to our private time, we do not have time to take care of proper nutrition.

Therefore, we have to have in mind that the most powerful wellness recipe is stress-free living. Since is not always possible to apply this stress-free recipe, at least we can fill our daily gaps with fresh squeezed juices, smoothies and wellness shots.

Nowadays, with the popularity of juice shots, we have many new entries and varieties on the market. Most of these juice wellness shots promise to deliver a quick dose of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals in tasty liquid form. The majority of the shots have turmeric in them, an ancient health food supplement.

Turmeric is the relative of ginger and it has been used for hundreds of years in India, both for flavouring and medicinal purposes and is credited with easing headaches, joint pain, menstrual cramps and boosting the metabolism. What is really important, juice shots are an excellent alternative to an afternoon caffeine fix.

When feeling exhausted or if you are just looking for instant refreshment, our recommendation is this incredible wellness shot, consisting of very healthy simple ingredients like; turmeric, ginger, lemon and black pepper. Ginger and turmeric are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Another popular anti-inflammatory supplement is CBD oil. Lemon has the power to detoxify and alkalize in our bodies, helps in healthy bowel movements, and boasts plenty of vitamin C, which boosts the immune system.

Moreover,  black pepper helps boost the absorption of turmeric. When you have collected all the needed ingredients and once your juice has been extracted, it’s time to add that magical black pepper to the mix.

Mostly, during the flu season, we are gravitating toward different healthy juices which are high in vitamin C content. Beside juice and vitamin C intake, it is desirable to take some natural supplements for better and faster recovery.

For example, if you want to boost your immune system while battling with the flu, give elderberry gummies a try. There are many benefits or regular elderberry supplement use, such as; antioxidant effects, anti-inflammatory properties, immune system boost, alleviates pain, and helps with mental health and skin problems.

Learn to relax and let go

Most of us think that it is all about the way how we look on the outside, but we often forget the importance of physical and emotional overall well-being. Higher physical and mental wellness requires daily dedication. There are many organizations that teach about living a healthy lifestyle, in order to encourage people to take their health seriously.

We all know that it is not easy to relax at all times and we want to give you some tips on how to achieve mental overall wellness:

• Practice gratitude and focus on the positives.  Start your daily gratitude journal to help you focus. in all situations look for the opportunities and silver linings.
• Avoid complaining – because it will not take you anywhere. Deep contemplation obstructs problem-solving and can lead you into depression.
• Whatever you do, from long forest walks to watching the sunset, taking your dog out, or cleaning and organizing your apartment, add positives to your day. Enjoy the moment.

Since our body and mind is one whole entity, therefore our physical health can affect our emotional health. We should never forget the importance and the power of our “mental hygiene”.

Inadequate nutrition can also be a huge problem. That is an important factor if we want to improve our well-being. For many people who are struggling with psychological issues, the aftermath is chronic stress that can cause many physical health conditions.

That is why most of health and mental therapists are suggesting for their client’s physical activities, proper nutrition, drinking more water, or spending time outside in nature each day, or as much as possible.

Thus, find out what you really love to do; ask yourself what you could do if you had no limitations. If you can identify what you really enjoy doing and could get paid for it, there is a strong likelihood that it is not too far from your reach, but you will have to work for it. When you find the work you love, you will never ever have to work again.
