Healthy and Practical Homemade Recipes

Health is our wealth. The basics for maintaining good health are clean air and water, adequate nutrition and exercise, healthy mind set and a home filled with love and care.

Illness is not normal. Often it is a result of unhealthy environment and an imbalance lifestyle; unhealthy food, lack of exercise, too much work and relationship problem that causes emotional- and mental-fatigue.

Illness may also hereditary and may also come from various kinds of drugs, cosmetics, home cleaning articles, or any products that we are using from day-to-day.

Having more control of our stuff could help us live a better and healthier life.

Homemade or “Do It Yourself – DIY” products offer a lot of advantages:

1. Good for our health. With homemade recipes, we have more control over what ingredients to use and to avoid. Use healthy and natural ingredients and avoid toxic chemicals!
2. Good for our household budget. Homemade products are always inexpensive compare to branded ready-made articles. We could also take ingredients from our own garden.
3. Good for our environment. Plastic packagings, CO₂ emission through transport are some things that we can avoid if we practice this art.
4.  Good for our creativity. Practicing DIY art gives us a sense of accomplishment. It helps us boost our self-confidence and give us joy that motivates us to further learn and develop a particular interest.

Making homemade products need knowledge, time, and, practice.

If one has the heart of practicing this art, it is not only healthy but also brings satisfaction, joy, and, contentment in life.

Your knowledge can always be passed on to someone which makes this act worthwhile and everlasting.

These are some of my homemade recipes. I keep them simple and use ingredients that are available in my kitchen and in my garden.

For my cooking utensils, I avoid plastics because they are not good for our health and our environment.

I got some of my ideas from Smarticular, it is a community for simple sustainable living.
