A 1/2 fresh lemon a day...

...keeps the doctor away!

It's been quite some time since my last post, but I would like to share something with you today which I've been practicing for the last weeks and feel like this is an accurate information to share with you!

My advice to prevent getting colds, which might rain on your (christmas) parade:

A few weeks ago, I read about something called "The 5 Tibetan Rites":

What I read was that you should start your day (literally before breakfast) drinking a glass of the juice of a half squeezed fresh lemon mixed with water (I like it best with cold, still water) and then NORMALLY you're supposed to do some "yoga-ish" exercises (which I don't do... ain't nobody got time for that! But you can look up the exercises here, if you feel like getting your move on in the early morning).

The result is: I feel pretty energized! 
Plus, I forgot to drink the juice for a few days in a row and immediately I started getting a runny nose, but now that I picked it up again I'm "healed", so I guess the juice does its job pretty well!

So, I can only recommend everyone who is attracting colds in the worst moments (such as christmas time or during exam phase) just like me to follow this (I admit) tiny part of the whole Tibetan Rites to keep your immune system up and running!

...and if you leave out the exercises it literally only takes a minute to start your day right (with the exercises I think it takes about 15 minutes).

Stay healthy and enjoy christmas time!
