Turmeric Fish Recipes: Healthy Fried, Grilled & Wrapped Creations
(Updated Version)
Turmeric, often referred to as the "golden goddess" of the kitchen, is a staple ingredient in mine. How about you? Is this vibrant, golden-yellow spice a regular in your cooking? If not, it's worth considering. I personally use both dried Indian turmeric powder for curries (INDIAN FISH AND SALTED FISH PUMPKIN CURRY), stir-fries, and more, as well as fresh turmeric, known as kunyit hidup in Malay. At Nava's Zen, we even grow fresh turmeric in a large pot. Although some advice me to dry and grind it, I prefer using it fresh, along with its leaves, especially in my Malay dishes, which I prepare frequently.

It has guided me in recognizing my tribe, influencing how I conduct yoga sessions with mindfulness as a vital component. This heightened awareness has expanded my thinking, becoming an integral part of my journey as I age with dignity.

Vegetarian Nasi Ulam/Herbs Rice: Three Unique Twists
Hey
there! Have you noticed more people ditching meat and going for vegetarian
diets? Are you wondering why? Well, folks are doing it for all sorts of reasons
– from wanting to be kinder to the planet to boosting their health. A simple
diet change can make you feel better and do good for the world at the same
time. But, on the flip side, have you noticed people seem to be getting
nastier, all in the name of success, fame, and fortune? Sorry for being blunt,
but it's the harsh reality.
Here's a little secret: while a vegetarian diet might be great for your body, it’s your mind and soul that really count. Are you being true to yourself and others? Ouch! I won't dive deeper into how some humans are getting uglier inside, but let’s get to the fun part: a tasty recipe!

6 Key Components to Enhance Your Home Office Space
Creating an effective and comfortable home office
requires careful consideration of several key components. With the rise of
remote working, your home office has become more than just a temporary
workspace; it's a place where productivity, comfort, and technology intersect.
Here are six essential elements to consider for enhancing your home office
space.
Ergonomic
Furniture
The cornerstone of any efficient home office is ergonomic furniture. This includes a chair that supports your back and promotes good posture, and a desk that is the right height to prevent strain. An ergonomic setup reduces the risk of work-related injuries and increases comfort, which can significantly boost productivity. For those long hours at the desk, consider a chair with adjustable lumbar support and a desk that allows for both sitting and standing positions. Remember, comfort in your workspace directly affects your work performance and overall health.
