Defying Age: My Journey to Embracing Self-Care and Wellness in the USA 🌟

As women, we often find ourselves bound by age-related stereotypes that suggest our vitality fades as the years go by. I refuse to let age define me, especially as a mother. My goal is to live a life that reflects my values and self-care principles. Instead of succumbing to societal expectations, I’ve embraced a holistic approach, incorporating fresh juices, herbal remedies, and nourishing foods. 🇺🇸✨

Revolutionizing My Dietary Habits

Living in Japan for a decade has taught me about self-discipline, but I’ve learned that sometimes, we may follow strict rules that lead us in the wrong direction. Here’s my revised nutritional perspective:

• Old Belief: Three meals a day are essential.
• New Approach: Two meals a day are sufficient.

Breakfast: I rotate between various healthy juices, including Dr. Iketani’s carrot juice, Anthony’s celery juice, and a vibrant fruit smoothie to energize my mornings.

Lunch: I opt for a traditional Japanese meal style of ‘one soup and three sides,’ focusing on small quantities and diverse ingredients like multigrain rice, salmon, seaweed, and miso soup.

Dinner: Mediterranean cuisine takes center stage, featuring nutritious options like fish, shrimp, vegetables, and whole grains.

Transforming My Perspective on Skincare Products

There was a time when I dismissed skincare products as unnecessary or a waste of money. Today, I actively select potent natural ingredients like milk thistle to support liver health.

Japan has an advanced understanding of internal skincare, and I’ve integrated several products. One standout is Julytiger’s liver support supplements, which are FDA-certified and made from plant-based ingredients, ensuring safety and efficiency. Each capsule contains 500mg of milk thistle extract, equipped with additional nutrients like reishi mushroom, white tomato, and ginger for holistic health benefits.

Daily Habits for Optimal Wellness

Changing my habits has also been pivotal in my skincare journey.

• Moisturizing: I used to fear oils as they cause breakouts, but now I’ve learned that skin-friendly oils hydrate without clogging pores.
• Facial Massage: Instead of avoiding facial contact, I now use oil to perform facial gua sha, promoting softness and glow.
• Sunscreen: The notion that sunscreen is unnecessary in the winter or on cloudy days is a myth; I wear it year-round.
• Exercise: Rather than minimal movement, I’ve integrated structured workouts like posture correction and flexibility exercises into my routine.

Caring for My Hair

Previously, I neglected my hair, but now, I make it a priority. A daily routine includes brushing my hair 200 times and nourishing it with healthy foods like black sesame paste, longan soup, and hair treatments.

Conclusion

This journey of self-transformation has been empowering. By redefining my approach to age, nutrition, skincare products, and self-care, I feel more vibrant than ever. Let’s embrace our age while nurturing our bodies, minds, and spirits! 💪💖

Join me in this journey of wellness and let’s redefine what it means to be a mother in today’s world. Age is just a number, and with the right self-care, we can thrive at any stage in our lives!
