Enjoying Being Healthy

Well, I am sold! In an earlier blog, I mentioned how I seem to be meeting the right people at the right time. Well, I met a lady through work who wanted new flooring for her new business that was about to open soon. I went to her business and gave her a quote. I didn't get the flooring job but I got to talking with her and her business is going to be yoga, meditation, Zoomba dance, Ayurvedic health and so on. If you don't know what Ayurvedic is, it is a 5000 year old way of eating derived from India. It focuses on using all natural foods eaten in the right combination that is customized for your body type and energy for optimum health. I had never heard of this until about 4 months ago, so I am by no means an expert. Anyway, through our conversations, I told her that I was a designer and an artist and she mentioned that she wanted a mural done in her business. So I showed her my portfolio and she hired me to do this mural, however, she asked if I would be interested in bartering services or products in exchange for the mural. I said I was open to it, so she told me about this Ayurvedic product that she has been taking for a while now and was raving about it and how her health has greatly improved. She knew I was in Kung Fu and thought that it would really help me with my training. So, I said I would take some product as part payment. There are three things to this product. One is a whey protein shake that has 100 percent of daily requirements of vitamins and minerals and is a meal substitute if you want to lose weight or maintain weight. The other thing is a drink based on a mix of different fruits, one being the malaki fruit. This drink, you take 3 ounces a day and improves your health, immune system and energy. And lastley, they have these little packets of fruit juice mix that boosts your metabolism and quenches your hunger and I find it really gives me energy. I have been taking these for about 6 weeks and I have noticed a huge difference in my energy level. I started getting a cold last week when everyone else had one and it lasted one day and was done. Another thing I noticed, and that is probably from the whey protein shakes, when I overdo pushups or we have a strenuous class, I recover really fast. I have lost a total of 12 lbs and I feel like the energizer bunny. These products are called Zrii and they are endorsed by Deepak Chopra. I am hooked on being healthy, it feels great.
