A Joyful Welcome!


Welcome to my blog!  I am Jyoti, a certified health counselor, and I am really excited about sharing some quick tips that have made a difference in my health and will hopefully do the same for you!

Since this is my first blog, I would like to start by talking about coconuts, which are very auspicious and used in opening ceremonies, weddings and other religious services.

  • Coconut water is extremely nourishing.   It is a natural isotonic beverage and has very little sugar (natural).  After exercising at the gym or a tennis game, reach out for a packet of coconut water to replenish your body fluids; after all, it has more potassium than most sports drinks! Whenever I feel dehydrated or sick, I quickly get some coconut water from a nearby health food store. It's great for the immune system.  There are many brands, my favorite is Zico!  Click here for more information.

I always have a tough time when I visit Chinatown – whether to have that delicious, soothing coconut water from a fresh young coconut or my fav bubble tea!  ??  The healthy side wins!




Will continue more on my next …..

    My toddler and I drink coconut water every day. I love using it in smoothies as a base instead of milks (cow's, soy, oat, almond, etc.) or yogurt. :)

    Hi Lisa, I am going to try it in my next smoothie. I've tried the light coconut milk and that's delish! I found a recipe for almond milk with pineapples. Have you tried coconut water with pineapple?

People Come into Your Life for a Reason

Have you ever felt that you have met the person standing across from you before? Do you run into the same person twice in a day? Ever thought of someone and immediately hear from them or bump into them? Are you glad you made a new friend? Did an Angel help you today? Here's a popular poem for you to enjoy as you welcome this new season in your life: P eople come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON , it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end....
