How to become an energetic person with an early morning start!
I know what you may be thinking, I don’t have time in the morning!
Rushing from the bed to the bathroom and then the kitchen, there is only the time to grab a coffee and go. And what happens next? Still half asleep, already drained and moody, you start the engine in your car and drive to work. Does it really have to be like that?
What if you push yourself to wake up 15 mins earlier? In this 15 minutes you have the time to prepare fresh lemon juice mixed with water.
Don’t rush, remember you have extra time to fully indulge your morning drink which will flash out the toxins from your body and boost your immunity. This simple drink is the BEST way to begin the day and set you up for success.
Here are some of my rituals that became game changers to my daily routine
Fat burner drink – lemon and parsley
You will absolutely love this drink which helps not only lose 2-3 kilos in one week but it is also a wonderful source of vitamin C and antioxidants.
All that you need is parsley, lemon, and water
Lemon, has definitely become one of my best friends in the kitchen for many years. I just can’t imagine my daily routine without drinking a glass of lemon every morning which helps flush the digestive system and rehydrate the body. It also stimulates white blood cell production which is absolutely vital for your immune system to function properly. As an antioxidant, vitamin C also protects cells from oxidative damage. … Drinking lemon water daily ensures your body gets a great amount of vitamin C every day.
Parsley benefits your immune defenses due to its high levels of antioxidants, including vitamin C and vitamin A. Vitamin C helps to maintain a healthy gut environment, where much of the immune system is actually located.

What wine does to your complexion
How many times have we done it? Cream, mask, hoping to wake up in the morning with a beautiful, glowing face but instead, you see reddened cheeks, dehydrated skin, enlarged pores …
No cream here will help, I know it myself because it took me a long time to make a conscious decision to determine what is causing imperfections on the face. And here the answer is simple – many people experience skin problems due to bad diet habits.
Radiant complexion with parsley, the best detox for your skin.
Do you miss your radiant complexion and your youthful glamorous charm? Are you opening another cream and seeing your reflection? Another serum, another mask, visiting the beautician and nothing !!!
At one point I lost hope that one day my skin would look radiant until finally my mother’s friend – Mrs. Tusia – instructed me to drink a smoothie with parsley. At first, the thought of consuming green leaves made me feel sick. Since childhood, I did not love parsley. So far that I remember I did not move the Sunday broth until I picked out all the floating leaves of it.
The recipe is simple:
Half a bunch of parsley, kiwi, lemon and half a glass of water.
Of course, these proportions can be changed according to your taste preferences.
We’re ready to go!
After a month of regular consumption, you will see a difference. Why is it working?
This smoothie is a real vitamin C bomb! which strengthens, cleanses the body, improves complexion and humor!
Parsley helps to purify our body by its essential oils, whose main ingredient is apiol and myristicin. Both substances have strong disinfection and diuretic properties. Parsley improves digestion, relieves fermentation in the intestines while detoxifying the body. In addition, it relieves neuralgia and helps in the treatment of urolithiasis.
Nutritional values speak for themselves – 100g of iron is 5 mg of iron and 177 mg of vitamin C (more than citrus !!!). It has a great effect on eyesight and complexion because it has as much as 5510 μg of beta-carotene and 3.1 mg of vitamin E. Parsley also has folic acid (170 μg) and mineral salts: magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and manganese. Choking of the leaves is recommended for smokers because it immediately improves bad breath.
I recommend it, really worth it!
