You are what you eat || Body Reactions|| Changing a meal plan|| Diary Game 3rd October 2024

Everyday they say, is not the same. Make the most of whatever comes your way each day and be greatful you got to see that day.

Greetings to my steem better life family. It's my pleasure to write you once again.

I recently noticed my face has become darker than usual. I'm chocolate skinned but all of a sudden, I'm becoming very dark and I don't know the cause. I pondered on this for days wondering what it could be. One my list of possible causes were;

• Change of water
• Being outside under the hot scorching sun too often
• Or not sleeping well

But none of these things mentioned above seemed to be the issue. Then I started checking my meals and discovered I had added a new meal to my meal routine which wasn't there before. After doing some careful research, I realised that the new meal was what was darkening my skin as there was too much oil in it and no nutrient value.
They say you are what you eat right?, So I had to scrap it out of my food menu and started incorporating more fruits hence the fruit picture you saw above.

At the orange sellers shop.

One of this orange costs 1 steem, so I bought 2. He had freshly peeled oranges and also some with it's skin. I've heard that the water that comes from the skin of the oranges are very good for the eyes. I do not know for sure.

• What do you think about that?.
  Also what are oranges called in your place???

The young man was very happy to sell to me and we chatted a bit. It's always good to see young people doing legitimate business to survive. I've promised myself to always get some oranges from him whenever I pass his route.

Here are a few benefits of oranges to the body;

• It gives vitamin C which helps to heal wounds, boasts a protein substance called collagen which helps our skin to stay firmer and not sag, while boosting our body's immunity to certain sicknesses.

• It also helps to keep our blood levels at good pace keeping an eye on the sugar accumulation.

Very good reasons for me to continue with my oranges and for you to get started with some if you haven't 😁.

Did I tell you he was selling 3 different things at the same time??😂😂.
I was a bit confused at this too when I got to his shop but it turned out that he has two neighbours, one sells plantains and the other sells oranges. This young man deals on phone accessories and gadgets,but I met him selling plantain to someone.
When I voiced my confusion, he laughed and told me that his neighbours were not around as they went to get something so instead of their customers to walk away whilst he was there, he sold to them and would give the owners their money when they come back. What a kind hearted young man I thought to myself. In today's world where everyone wants to mind their own business and would gladly turn their face the opposite direction when something doesn't favour them, he stuck out his neck for them. I took his permission and took some shots of his business, would have taken with him but he declined being shy😁.

Did you see that little school boy peeping at me and wondering why this aunty is taking pictures??😂😂. I didn't see it myself until I got home and really looked at the photos.

Anyways, what took me out of the house was my search for bread. If you follow my posts, you'll know I'm a lover of everything bake, especially bread. I hadn't eaten it in a few days, so I decided to hop to the store and get myself one.

Surprisingly the store was very quiet with few customers. I quickly took my goods, paid and stepped out as it will soon begin to fill up for the night sales.
