Hello Followers,

It is time to start Tuesday!

Life is a jar.

And every day, you decide what fills it.

Big rocks are the things that truly matter, your health, your relationships, your purpose, your growth.

The pebbles are the smaller goals, tasks, and commitments.

The sand is everything else distractions, noise, the endless busy work.

If you start by pouring in the sand, there is no room left for the rocks.

But if you place the rocks first, the rest always finds its space.

This is the Empty Jar Theory, a reminder that your time is not infinite.

Fill it with what matters most, or it will always feel full, but never meaningful.

It is time to dive into the incredible health benefits of garlic and explore easy ways to incorporate it into your lifestyle today.

Garlic is the secret ingredient that speaks the language of the palate.

So, again do not underestimate the power of spices and herbs in promoting health.

Garlic combats viruses, including influenza, rhinovirus, herpes simplex, viral pneumonia, and rotavirus.

These benefits are often attributed to two compounds in garlic allicin and ajoen, helping protect against viral attacks.

A study highlighted that participants taking garlic supplements had a 63% lower risk of catching a cold.

When they did, their sickness lasted about 70% shorter than those on a placebo.

KNOWLEDGE IS A TREASURE, BUT PRACTICE IS THE KEY TO IT

DID YOU KNOW!

🌱 How to grow your own pistachios from store bought nuts!

🟢 Step 1: Choose raw, unsalted pistachios

Start with raw pistachios (not roasted or salted).

These are the only ones with viable seeds!

🟢 Step 2: Soak and sprout

Soak the nuts in warm water for 24–48 hours to help soften the shell and trigger germination.

Look for the tiny root tip emerging.

🟢 Step 3: Plant in soil

Plant the sprouted pistachios in a pot with well-draining soil.

Place them just beneath the surface with the open side facing up.

🟢 Step 4: Give it sunlight and care

Keep the soil moist, place the pot in a sunny spot, and be patient!

Pistachios love warm climates and can take a while to grow.

🟢 Step 5: Transplant when ready

Once your sapling is strong enough, move it to a larger pot or into your garden.

Full-grown pistachio trees can reach twenty feet!

🟢 Step 6: Watch for the fruit!

With proper care (and a little luck), your tree could start producing clusters of colorful pistachios in a few years. 🍃✨

When was the last time you felt truly loved by yourself?
