 # What I Eat on a Low-Sugar Day Cutting back on sugar doesn't mean starving or giving up taste.   For me, it’s about feeling steady, focused, and light throughout the day. Here’s a snapshot of what I typically eat on a low-sugar day: --- ## 🍳 Breakfast – Salty Tea & Healthy Fats Instead of sugar-heavy cereals or coffee, I start my day with: - **Salt tea**: 1 tsp of high-quality salt dissolved in a cup of warm water     → It helps restore electrolytes and gives my brain a warm jumpstart.   - **A handful of nuts** (almonds, walnuts, cashews)   - Sometimes a boiled egg with olive oil & sea salt 🧠 I feel alert without the caffeine crash — and my digestion starts easy. --- ## 🥗 Lunch – Protein + Veggies Lunch is the heart of my day, so I go for balance: - Grilled chicken or tofu   - Roasted or steamed seasonal veggies (broccoli, zucchini, carrots)   - A few slices of avocado   - Olive oil and lemon ju...

 # My Evening Digital Routine for Better Focus and Rest In a world that never stops buzzing, I found my evenings were the most chaotic — screens kept me wired, sleep felt distant, and my mind raced at night. So I designed a digital routine that helps me **wind down mentally and physically**, ready for rest and better focus the next day. --- ## ⏰ 1. Screen-Free Zone After Dinner **By 8 PM**, all screens are off. No phones, no laptop, no TV. Instead I: - Dive into a book or audiobook—something relaxing   - Journal thoughts and reflections from the day   - Chat over a warm herbal tea This creates a buffer zone between work and rest. --- ## 🌙 2. Gentle Lighting to Signal Wind-Down Around **9 PM**, I dim the lights and switch to warm, indirect lighting.   This mimics natural sunset and encourages the release of melatonin. Soft light = less stress, more calm. --- ## 🧴 3. Pre-Sleep Routine Includes… - **Vitamin C packet** with herbal tea — aids recovery and...

 # How I Use Slow Jogging as Active Meditation Lately, I’ve come to realize something unexpected: **Jogging slowly isn't just good for my body — it’s good for my mind.** --- ## 🧘‍♂️ Movement as Meditation Meditation doesn’t always have to mean sitting still with your eyes closed. For me, **slow jogging** has become a form of active meditation. Each step, each breath, each heartbeat — it all pulls me into the present. No podcast. No music. Just the sound of my feet and my breath. --- ## 🚶‍♂️ Jogging at Walking Speed The key?   I run **at walking speed**, with a light bounce and relaxed rhythm. I don’t push.   I don’t chase pace.   I simply move — **mindfully**. If I notice my thoughts wandering, I gently bring my focus back to: - The feeling of my feet touching the ground   - The breeze on my face   - My breathing — slow and steady That’s my moving mantra. --- ## 💡 Why It Works for Me I used to think productivity came from **runni...

 # How I Practice Slow Jogging Without Hurting My Knees If you're anything like me, you may have found it surprisingly **difficult to jog slowly**. Weird, right? But **slow jogging** is exactly that — not about speed, but about rhythm, posture, and joy. --- ## 🐢 The Core of Slow Jogging The key principle?   **Jog as slow as you walk.** Yes — **that** slow. When you're road running, it's easy to **unconsciously speed up**. I used to struggle with this too, especially when other runners would pass me. But that's when I remind myself:   ☝️ *Stick to your own pace.* --- ## 🏃‍♀️ My Training Method Here’s how I practice: - **I use a treadmill**, set to my normal walking pace (for me, it’s 5.0 km/h).   - Then I bounce lightly — around **three steps per second** — while staying relaxed. **Key tips:** - Land on the **balls of your feet**   - Keep your motion **light and rhythmic**   - Raise your chin slightly and **gently swing your arms**...

 # My Daily Routine to Maximize Energy and Focus Productivity doesn't start with caffeine or a to-do list.   For me, it starts **before** the day even begins. Here's the routine I've been following to stay energized, sharp, and clear-headed. --- ## 🛏 1. Make My Bed, Then Meditate (2–5 Minutes) As soon as I wake up, I make my bed. It's a small act of order that sets the tone for the rest of the day. Then, I sit quietly. No phone. No stimulation.   Just **2 to 5 minutes** of breath awareness or intention-setting. > It helps calm the mind before the noise begins. --- ## ☕ 2. Morning Salt Tea, Not Coffee Lately, I've been experimenting with something called **salt tea**—   a cup of warm water with **1 tsp of high-quality salt** dissolved in it. Why? Because the electrolyte balance helps “wake up” my body and brain more gently than caffeine. > It’s surprisingly refreshing and supports hydration too. 📸 **Image Insertion Point**   *Insert he...
