Step 1

Morning Light Exposure

In the first 30 minutes after waking up, step outside or sit by an open window. Use this time to let natural light invigorate your body. On sunny days, 5 minutes is enough, while on cloudy days, consider extending this to 15 minutes. This habit helps to regulate your circadian rhythms, cortisol levels, and enhances your energy and sleep.

Step 2

Start Your Day with Warm Lemon Water

Prepare a glass of warm water mixed with the juice of one lemon, a pinch of Himalayan salt, and small piece of ginger. This drink replenishes minerals and supports digestive health. It’s soothing to the adrenal glands and boosts energy. Make sure to drink this first thing in the morning for the best effects.

Step 3

Enjoy a Bitter Greens Salad

Before your main meal, enjoy a salad made with 100-200 grams of mixed greens and assorted vegetables. This will activate enzymes and improve digestion. Dress with a simple mixture of oil and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Eating fiber-rich food like this can improve skin health and enhance your mood.

Step 4

Practice 10 Minutes of Silence or Deep Breathing

Dedicate 10 minutes to breathing exercises. Focus on inhaling deeply for 4 counts, exhaling gently for 6-8 counts, and pausing for 4 counts. Alternatively, take a quiet walk without your phone. This practice helps to lower stress and transitions the nervous system into recovery mode, supporting hormonal balance.

Step 5

Incorporate Healthy Fats into Your Diet Daily

Add healthy fats such as 1-2 tablespoons of oil, a handful of nuts or seeds, and an avocado to your diet daily. These fats are essential for hormone production and the absorption of vitamins A, E, D, and K. Eating fatty fish twice a week can also provide vital nutrients. Remember to keep it simple and enjoyable!
