“I’m on a diet”, “I can’t eat this and that because I’m on a diet”, “How many calories are there in this small bar of chocolate”…

The diet culture has long affected people’s lives and it has gone into a whole different state where it became a lot more toxic than it should’ve been.


The diet culture is the unhealthy obsession with labeling “good’ and ‘bad’ foods, the constant struggle to lose weight fast, to be skinny like a model, and convincing yourself that this is normal.

Paranoia, anxiety, stress, anorexia, body dysphoria, and other eating disorders are all part of the toxic traits of the diet culture. People get so wrapped up in these ideas and thoughts that they stop everything they do to focus on how to execute their “genius” plan of losing weight.


The diet culture changed categories from a health issue/ healthy lifestyles to a pure business industry that “health” products are profiting of off.


Don’t get me wrong people sometimes need diet pan to stick to it and lose weight; whether for a health issue, or simply maintaining their body image. But in today’s world people stopped searching for ways to become healthy, they search for seasonal changes in their body because of what others might say if I went to the beach.


So for that and for many reasons, we will be tackling the diet culture in all its aspects and how to avoid it at all cost.

What is collagen?

Collagen is the magical stuff that keeps the skin plump and smooth, and it helps keep joints strong, too. The protein can be found naturally in the body’s muscles, skin, and bones, and makes up about 25 percent of your total body mass

Some Benefits of taking COLLAGEN supplements:

1- Improves skin health.

Collagen is a major component of your skin.

It plays a role in strengthening skin, plus may benefit elasticity and hydration. The wrinkle-reducing effects of collagen supplements have been attributed to their ability to stimulate your body to produce collagen on its own.

2- Helps Relieving joints pain

Collagen helps maintain the integrity of your cartilage, but as the amount of collagen in your body decreases as you get older, your risk of developing degenerative joint disorders such as osteoarthritis increases

3- Prevents bone loss

Your bones are made mostly of collagen, which gives them structure and helps keep them strong, just as the collagen in your body deteriorates as you age, so does bone mass.

4-Could boost muscle mass

 This protein is necessary to keep your muscles strong and functioning properly.

Studies suggest that collagen supplements help boost muscle mass in people with sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass that happens with age

5- Promotes heart health

Collagen provides structure to your arteries, which are the blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body. Without enough collagen, arteries may become weak and fragile

6- Hair and nails. 

Taking collagen may increase the strength of your nails by preventing brittleness. Additionally, it may stimulate your hair and nails to grow longer.

So yes, taking collagen supplement is a huge plus to your daily skincare routine and overall well-being.

It’s Ja’s Lifestyle Approved!

A reminder, some supplements are made of different sources of allergies for some people. Read the ingredient list before taking the supplement.

Home Remedy For Immune boost.

Coronavirus has made us all paranoid and scared about our immune system’s strength. Vitamins, a healthy diet, and exercises are the most common ideas and practices to come to mind.

While vitamins and medications come in handy with boosting your immune system and keep you safe from viruses, homemade remedies and foods are essential to boost your immunity and fight off bacteria stronger.

Most of our vitamins are taken from food normally, but adding a few smoothies of different fruits and vegetables to your diet is essential for your immunity boost.

The first one on the list: Citrus fruits.


Go ahead and squeeze that orange, beat that lemonade, and drink it as an addition to your breakfast. Fresh Vitamin C is highly recommended.

Second addition: Garlic.


Adding garlic to your diet is highly recommended. Garlic has a variety of strong immune-boosting properties. It is antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial. If you hate garlic as raw, there are supplements that you can use but, one important ingredient that should be available is the allicin.


Third addition: Lemon Ginger tea


This “magical’ soothing tea has so many benefits. In addition to the benefits provided by the lemon, Ginger is known for its medicinal properties, including a high level of antioxidants and antimicrobial elements. A warm cup of lemon ginger tea is effective for boosting your immune system and keep you feeling healthy.


Fourth addition: Stay active

Staying active can help your immune system gather some energy and fight germs and viruses. Adding regular workouts to your day is essential in improving your wellbeing.


fifth addition: Sun


Sun is one of the Universe’s great gifts. Getting sun regularly and, if possible daily, can help boost your immune system big time.

Sixth addition: Essential oils


Especially: eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, lemon and, rosemary. This combo of essential oils is helpful when it comes to boosting your immune system:
Eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree will purify the air while lemon and laurel leaf eases breathing and opens airways, reinforcing your immune system.
