eat well, live healthy.jpg

Nowadays, people tend to choose healthy ways of living. Apart from exercising every day, we also choose food that fits our bodies; the usual books I have bought are vegan; as much as I wanted to read them all, my time is my enemy; should I say more time management?

If you try to read its menu, you will be mesmerized by how it emphasizes health. As the Bible says, our body is the temple of God. That is why we have the responsibility to take care of it. When I went to Bogo, after all the things I had accomplished, I chose to eat my lunch at one of the most famous and oldest restaurants in Gaisano, the Sweet Spot (which sells vegan and other kinds of food). ☺️


The Place

It looks like a combination of modern and native structure; my mother and father would choose to eat in this place because they sell lutong bahay (home-cooked) kinds of food. Think that they have their maintenance already, so they prefer healthy foods.
Come on in... ☺️

Vegetable Soup

This dish is everybody's favorite; if you're living in the Philippines, it is the usual soup we partake in every day; having a bowl a day, you can gain these nutrients (calcium, protein, iron, fiber, etc.) and; your stomach's satisfied. ☺️Have you noticed if you eat nutritious food every day, you have a good mood and feel secure? It was only 35 Php or 0.4 $.

Leche Flan

When I was young, I didn't find this food inviting; maybe the way they prepared it was different, but when I tried it here, I concluded that there was delicious; since then, I started to like it and eat it. The price is only 60 Php or 1.10 $
PS: Leche Flan is not vegan. ☺️

Since I was alone this time, I chose where I wanted to eat lunch. My husband would prefer a fast food chain. I tell him to visit it once in a while.

I am inspired; by many bloggers here who chose to plant on their own in the garden to have a healthier harvest and prepare nutritious food for the table; I realized that it always needs hard work and patience to acquire that; I can save money by doing this, right?
