Brown Girl Health: Cucumber & apple Juice | Youff Mag

The Anti-Inflammatory

BROWNGIRLHEALTH WAS STARTED IN A RES ROOM, WHEN I WAS TRYING TO STRETCH OUT MY ALLOWANCE MONEY. I HAD ALSO DONE RESEARCH THAT A HEALTHIER CLEANER LIFESTYLE HELPED IN REDUCING STRESS AND ANXIETY, I WAS IN MY HONORS YEAR, I WANTED TO BE IN THE BEST MENTAL STATE I COULD BE TO PUSH THROUGH AND GRADUATE.

THE PAGE STARTED AS A DOCUMENTATION OF MY HEALTH JOURNEY , BUT IT HAS GROWN TO MORE THAN THAT. WHAT BROWNGIRLHEALTH IS ESSENTIALLY IS DOING IS DEMOCRATIZING HEALTH, TO SHOW PEOPLE WHO CLICK ON MY PAGE THAT YOU CAN SWITCH TO A PLANT BASED DIET WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK . WHEN I STARTED MY JOURNEY

I WOULD WALK INTO HEALTH STORES, GO ONTO WEBSITES THAT TALK ABOUT SUPERFOODS AND SPECIALITY GRAINS ALL WHICH WERE EXPENSIVE TO NOT ONLY ME BUT A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO EAT HEALTHIER BUT THAT VERY LIFESTYLE IS OUT OF REACH FOR MANY OF US BECAUSE OF HOW IT HAS BEEN MARKETED TO US.

THE RECIPES ON BROWNGIRLHEALTH ARE BASED ON INGREDIENTS THAT ARE AROUND US ALREADY, THE SIMPLE FOODS WE GREW UP ON, UBHONTSHISI, IMFINO,FRUITS LIKE APPLES ORANGES, THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF FOODS YOU CAN LOCALLY SOURCE FROM SUPERMARKETS TO OMAMA WHO SELL VEGETABLES AT THE RANK.

THE JUICING SERIES ON THE PAGE IS AN EXAMPLE OF ,INGREDIENTS YOU CAN EASILY SOURCE. THE SERIES IS DEVELOPED AS IN INTRODUCTION TO FIRST TIME JUICERS, HIGHLIGHTING THE BENEFITS OF JUICING AND OFFERING SIMPLE JUICING RECIPES THAT YOU CAN MAKE WITH A BLENDER OR JUICER.
