Stay in touch, even if there is no answer
Send a message every now and then without expectation: "Think of you. No pressure to react."
Keep inviting for social things, even if the person cancels 9 out of 10 times. The feeling of not being forgotten is worth its weight in gold.

Be specific: "I'm going to the grocery store, what can I bring you?" or "I'm coming over tonight to do the dishes for you, so you don't have to get up."
Make small arrangements: Invite for a short 5-minute walk in the neighborhood, rather than a whole day out. Exercising in the open air helps, but keep it accessible.

Normalize seeking help. Don't say "You need to see a psychologist," but rather, "Looking at how you can feel better with a professional seems like a brave step to me. Shall I think along with you about who you can call?"

Here is a practical and empathetic guide, divided into what to do and what not to do: Offer presence instead of solutions

Dealing with someone who is depressed requires patience, insight and above all sincere involvement without wanting to 'save'. It is a balancing act between being there and letting go.

*The trial stage: what the child does not yet know or finds exciting: celebrate his courage when he tastes, not the result. The child should not swallow it immediately. Smelling it, giving him a kiss or just seeing it on his plate are intermediate steps.

Tea is the warm infusion of the leaves of the tea bush Camellia Sinensis. Black, green, Oolong and white loose tea are made from this shrub. Infusions of all other plant leaves, herbs, flowers, roots, fruits, and ingredients that impart their flavor to warm water are more likely to be called infusions or tisanes.

Processing tea
d) Heating
To prevent oxidation or to stop it in the meantime, the tea leaves are heated so that the moisture present evaporates. This is also called 'Killing the Green'. Heating is done in different ways. White tea, for example, is baked in a drying oven. Green tea is usually steamed (this is especially typical with Japanese green tea) or stir-fried. For the production of Oolong tea, depending on the type of tea, it is chosen for heating in a wok or drying in a drying oven.

Proteins : Healthy with care!
2
Some nutrition scientists warn that many people may be consuming too much protein. “When you eat more protein than your body needs, your body can’t store the extra. It just gets rid of it in urine or turns it into energy or fat,” For most healthy people, this isn’t necessarily harmful, but “once you’ve had enough protein, you’ve met your needs. More protein doesn’t equal more benefit, whereas balancing protein with fiber intake is going to be really important when thinking about longevity and optimizing health and well-being across the lifespan.” In some cases, going overboard on protein and not balancing it with fiber could lead to weight gain or digestive problems:for instance : constipation,”

Proteins : Healthy with care!
1
Along with carbohydrates and fat, protein is one of the main macronutrients that make up our diet. It’s also the only macronutrient that supplies us with amino acids. When our bodies digest protein in food, it gets broken down into amino acids, which have a hand in many bodily processes, such as building and preserving muscle, making hormones, boosting the immune system and even maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails.
