today I'm back not with new product review but I want share how I make bibimbap.

bibim mean mixing and bap mean rice, I can say this food is one of healthy food because all bibimbap ingredients are vegetables and I often hear this food good for diet..

bibimbap that I made is quite easy and simple, the ingredients are easy to find.

this is my second time made my own food, before bibimbap I already made 'okonomiyaki' that I already posted on my instagram and I would share how I made okonomiyaki soon ;)

Ingredients :

- Carrot

- Spinach

- Bean sprout

- Chayote

- Beef

   SAUCE :

 - Gochujang

 - Soy sauce

 - Vinegar

 - Sugar

 - Sesame oil

 - Onion

 - Garlic

 - Sesame seed

 BEEF :

 - Soy sauce

 - Onion

 - Garlic

 - Sesame oil

 - Sugar

 - Sesame seeds

 - Pepper

first, let's make bibimbap sauce mix gochujang with soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, chopped onion, chopped garlic and sesame seed, mix well and you done! you can find gochujang easily on supermarket and if you wondered how much gochujang and another ingredients you must mix it's depend on you.

after made the sauce, cut the beef up to you how you cut it and I mixed the beef with pineapple juice. it's my mom new tips to make beef more soft and easy to eat. if you want try mix beef with pineapple don't make it to long if you not cut the beef really thick. just 5-10 seconds enough already to make the beef soft. after mixed the beef with pineapple juice and wash the beef again.

now mix it with soy sauce, chopped garlic, chopped onion, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds and pepper and mix well.

if you done with the beef cut carrot, chayote and boiled bean sprout and spinach, don't boil them too long, before boil spinach put some salt into the water for make spinach color more fresh, for carrot and chayote just stir fry them until it more soft, for me I don't like eat oily food so I not put oil when I stir fry carrot and chayote.

after all vegetables done, put them in different bowl and mix spinach, bean sprout, chayote and carrot with salt and sesame oil. and yes, I don't put both salt and sesame oil too much because my family don't make salty and oily food not just good for your body it's good for your healthy too ;)

I think I cut the carrot too thick ._.

don't forget to stir fry the beef that you already mix with another ingredients, for the beef I put little olive oil and after the beef I made egg sunny side up. 

can you see that little oil??

                                   

and you done! let's put all ingredients on rice and how you want put the ingredients it's up to you. it's only for the appearance actually.

For Your Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Skin.

All people of course know if water very important to this body but most people only drink water when they feel thirsty or after eat something, right?

Fyi girls, if you want your skin and body healthy drinking water is one of the solution, at least human need 2 liters of water.

BENEFIT OF DRINKING WATER

1. Relieves Fatigue

If you often feel tired, there is a high chance that it could be due to inadequate consumption of water which makes the body function less efficiently. In fact, fatigue is one of the first signs of dehydration.

When there is less water in the body, there is a drop of blood volume which causes the heart to work harder to pump oxygenated blood out in the bloodstream, and other major organs also work less efficiently. Thus, drinking adequate water can help your body function better and reduce fatigue.

2. Improves Mood

research indicates that mild dehydration (even one or two percent lower hydration level of hydration than optimal) can negatively affect your mood and ability to think.

A small study conducted on 25 women and published in the Journal of Nutrition found that being dehydrated can take a toll on your mood and cognitiive function. The color of your urine is a good indicator of your level of hydration. The lighter the color the better the level of hydration and vice versa.

3. Treats Headaches and Migraines

If you have a headache or migraine, the first thing that you can do to get some relief is drink plenty of water. Headaches and migraines are often caused by dehydration.

In a study published in the European Journal of Neurology, researchers found that increasing water intake helped reduce the total number of hours and intensity of headaches in the study participants.

4. Helps in Digestion and Constipation

Water also improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. This helps in digestion and prevents constipation. Inadequate water in the body often results in constipation as the colon pulls water from the stools to maintain hydration, thereby making them harder and difficult to pass.

Drinking sufficient water boosts your metabolism and helps the body properly break down food. This helps your digestive system work well and promotes regular bowel movements. Warm water, in particular, is good for digestive health.

5. Aids Weight Loss

In a clinical trial, scientists found that drinking two eight-ounce glasses of water prior to meals can help suppress appetite and hence support your weight loss efforts. When you drink water, it fills your stomach and reduces the tendency to eat more.

Plus, it helps increase the rate at which the body burns fat, and promotes the breakdown and elimination of fat cells.

Calorie-free water is also a great replacement for high-calorie drinks like alcohol, sugary fizzy drinks and sodas that often contribute to weight gain.

6. Flushes Out Toxins

Water is an excellent detoxifier as it helps flush out toxins from your body and get rid of waste primarily through sweat and urine.

It also promotes kidney function and reduces kidney stones by diluting the salts and minerals in urine that cause kidney stones.

Though you need to drink adequate amount of water throughout the day, experts warn against drinking too much water (although uncommon still, it is possible) as it may reduce your kidneys’ ability to filter out waste.

7. Cleaning the skin

Absolutely, diligently consume water will provide a detoxifying effect on the body, shed toxins in the body that usually affects the skin's appearance. Impurities that clog the pores of the skin and lifts the skin look so fresh.

8. Makes skin firmer

The skin must be hydrated to avoid dry and remain damp. Skin cells are hydrated and supple will provide tight skin appearance from within. Water consumed in sufficient quantities to make the skin hydrated is necessary to maintain elasticity. That way you will always stay young.

9. shining hair and nails  

Drinking water will hydrate the cells in your hair and nails. This moisture is needed in order to remain healthy and lustrous hair.

For me, at first make routine drinking water is very hard but now in 30 minutes I keep drinking water and finished 1 liters of water,  I always bring my bottle anywhere anytime. For one day I need at least 2 or 3 liters of water, a half of the bottle for morning after wake up and before go to sleep, 1 liters infused water with lemon.

HOW TO MAKE DRINKING WATER BECOME A HABIT

1. Search all benefits of drinking water. For me, I want my skin clean, healthy and my body healthy. It useless if you only buying many products for your face and body, you need make your skin healthy inside too not just outside, girls. of course its different if you keep your skin healthy from inside and outside at the same time.

2. Don’t push yourself to drinking many water if you not like drinking water, just go little by little. If you push yourself too much, it only make yourself have hard time.

3. Buy cute bottle, unique bottle or bottle with your favorite color, it can make you want to drink and drink more.

4. Clear your fridge from all not healthy drinks, like soda, sweet syrup and many more.

5. Bring your bottle when you go anywhere, even at house. It can make you always remember to drink water.

6. When you at the restaurant don’t order anything except mineral water it can turn into habit and of course water more cheap xD

7. Make infused water! Very easy, fresh and you get at least 2 benefits :D

I choose lemon because lemon can make your skin brighter and I like sour..

If you want make lemon water, cut the lemon skin. If you keep lemon water more than 2 hours with the skin it will make bitter.

hope you all stay healthy and beautiful !! ^^
