MY MORNING ROUTINE
Perfecting a good morning routine is really important to me to set up the day in a positive and productive way. By prioritising certain morning activities I find I can achieve more through-out the day, feel more confident as well as take more care for my health and activities that make me happy. I try to keep my morning routine as consistent as possible, and always start the day by waking up nice and early, stretching and practicing gratitude. I find this helps me wake up and provides my body with immediate nourishment and attention that it needs. I also find practicing gratitude every morning encourages me to focus on the positive and have a positive attitude throughout the day. After brushing my teeth and using my tongue scraper, I like to have my daily cold shower. I do this every morning, and find that this ritual helps me to induce a higher state of alertness. The cold also stimulates me to take deeper breaths, decreasing the level of CO2 throughout the body, helping me to concentrate. Cold showers thus keep me ready and focused throughout the day. Once I feel more awake and before I get changed for the day, I like to practice a short 5 minutes of meditation. Meditation allows me to reduce any anxious thoughts that I may wake up to, and allows me to focus on slowing down, focusing on the good and attacking the day in a calm and relaxed manner. Just this five minutes of slow breathing and mindfulness is enough for me, and also just the right amount of time before I go down to greet my family for breakfast! In our household our favourite breakfasts differ! But, I love to start with a warm glass of water with a slice of lemon and then quite often stick to my go-to breakfast of natural yoghurt with blueberries and natural sugar-free granola. I then always have my post-breakfast True Veda Turmeric supplement. After preparing my sons breakfast we spend 10 minutes as a family eating breakfast together before my sons leave for school. Once I am home, I already feel very accomplished from the morning routine already ticked off! If I have time I love to take a 15-minute morning stroll before I start my work-day. This stroll reduces those feelings of restlessness when I start working and is gold-dust for my concentration!

MY FUTURE PLANS
We really want to get more exposure for our brand next year, so more people can benefit from our unique range of products. We would love to collaborate more with people in the health and wellness industry and launch more additions to our Ayurveda inspired supplement range. We would also love to have the opportunity to give back more to the world. We already sponsor an amazing charity that helps to deliver hot and nourishing school lunches to schools across India, but we are passionate about doing so much more.

3 THINGS ABOUT TRUE VEDA
We like to think that at True Veda we are so proud of our products and company, that we shout everything from the roof-tops! However, there may be something you may not know about us!

  1. Our slogan and mission is “Our World, Your Health” illustrating just how passionate we are about being as ethical and sustainable as possible. We always strive to do more and to give back to the world, and this can be seen in our sponsorship with Akshaya Patra foundation. This foundation is the world’s largest non-profit school meal provider, helping to deliver over 1.8million children across Indian a hot, nourishing and life-changing school lunch every-day. Additionally, the latter part of our mission statement, “Your Health”, refers to the story behind why the company was started in the first place. At True Veda, we see it as a healthy revolution, as in 2015 we created this company after being frustrated with other “healthy”, low quality supplements on the market. We found the market was full of products full of additives, fillers and binders and after having children we had a light bulb moment and became passionate about creating premium health supplements.
  2. Another thing you may not know is that we are planning on launching 7 new products, doubling our range! We are so proud of our products and cannot wait to get them to our customers, making it that much easier for consumers to live a healthy lifestyle. As a little tease, one of these new products is our Organic MenoHarmony supplement. The first totally organic menopause support supplement on the market.
  3. Finally, you may not know that our brand and products have won an amazing 19 awards and counting! These include “2021 The Green Parent - Natural Beauty Awards”, “2021 LUXlife Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards - Best Organic Herbal Supplements Brand” and 2021 TasteForLife Supplement Essential Awards - Best Stress Relief”. This means so much to us at True Veda, and we cannot wait to launch our new products and grow more as an independent family-run company.
