Living alone can be a truly positive experience and planning quality meals is a great way to achieve this.
Treat Yourself:
Make your meal an event. Choose your favourite flowers, pick fresh herbs and play your favourite songs.
If you want to try some cuisine that you wouldn’t typically prepare yourself, consider getting takeout. Exotic ingredients that you won’t use beyond one recipe can quickly go to waste, which can make eating out the budget-friendly option and you don’t even have to do the dishes!

Your Gut: It’s a bug’s life!
Your body plays host to trillions of bacteria, the majority of which reside in your intestines.

And many adults are amazed to discover how many of the signs and symptoms that they have come to accept as “part of life” are actually due to a previously undiagnosed visual disorder.

Bioresonance Therapy for Better Health
The famous opera singer, Ella Fitzgerald, could break a wine glass by singing a note in high C. A principle called resonance plays a central role in the breaking of the wine glass. However, in the health field, this principle is called bioresonance, because it is concerned with living organisms. Sending certain frequencies into a body can affect the health of that person. There are frequencies that destroy toxins and pathogens just like the frequencies that destroyed the wine glass. Other frequencies can be beneficial to cells, tissues, and organs.
