Sprouts by WhatIF Foods

2021-08-31 14:15:18 As a couch potato , I was pretty lukewarm about yoga; I thought it was overrated to be honest and flexibility is definitely not my strong suit. I gave it a try during a stressful exam week and the results were pretty life-changing: I am now a couch potato that stretches. Not convinced? Here are some other well recognized benefits of yoga :

Less stress: Yoga promotes relaxation simply because it’s an exercise that solely revolves around controlling your breath, clearing the mind and relaxing your body— leaving no space for your thoughts to wander.

Improves concentration: Your brain concentrates best when your mind is clear. A great pose to clear your mind is an extended child’s pose. As you exhale and allow your whole body to sink into the ground, try to imagine that you’re breathing out all your worries and leaving it on the mat.

Better sleep: What made me seriously pick up yoga was how much better my sleep was when I started doing yoga right before bed. This is a great video to wind down to! Open / Comment

2021-08-19 11:45:00 The purpose of a routine is to add structure and some predictability to your day. It’s a given that not everyday will be the same, but allocating a time for when you’ll wake, eat, work, sleep, have fun, etc, will help you feel less stressed, and in the right state of mind to take on the day!

Every time you complete a task, your body releases a load of dopamine which not only makes you feel good, but also motivates you to keep going!

If you don’t have your own routine yet, use these steps as a guide:

Make a list of everything you normally do in a day. With a rough idea of what needs to be done, you can start curating a general to-do list.

Find what works for you because no one knows you better than you know yourself!

Be patient with yourself. Starting and sticking with a routine takes time and effort and some days will be harder than others. When you’re feeling down, remember to take note of why you might be feeling that way and how you can change up your routine to make yourself feel better! Open / Comment

2021-08-17 10:02:51 Compilations of aesthetically-pleasing generic wellness tropes like eating avocado on toast or doing yoga at the crack of dawn have been circling the internet under the trendy buzzword, "that girl,"— but just who is she?

Well, "that girl" works out, cooks, makes iced coffee, journals—all before 7 a.m and the views under these videos show how much we glamourize her perfection and productivity, and for good reason, because who doesn’t want to be the most perfect version of themselves... right?

But perfection is a social construct— shaped by norms and expectations of those around us. Not only is it impossible for us to be perfect, we can’t even agree on what it means to be ‘perfect.’ There is no formula to it and copying the routines shown in these videos is definitely not the solution.

How are you going to be the best version of yourself by following someone else’s schedule? The key is having your own routine— doing the things you like. Find your own ‘perfect’ routine. Open / Comment

2021-06-08 03:00:01 #GenerationRestoration?!

As part of World Environmental day, the UN is launching a global rally to restore 1 billion hectares of degraded ecosystems within the ten upcoming years. They need our generation’s help to revive damaged ecosystems— even the smallest act counts!

Here’s what you can do!

- Perhaps you can start eating less animal products! To help, you can find inspo from @everydayvegangrocer on Insta.

- Or an easier option is to be more mindful of where you get your food and what you do with it. Source locally grown fresh produce from @urbantillersg or reduce food waste with @uglyfoodco on Instagram!

- Give some to forgotten crops like the Bambara Groundnut (like @WhatIFFoods does) which can help increase biodiversity and resilience against climate change.

There are tons more fun initiatives you can join to be a part of #GenerationRestoration! Open / Comment
