Aarti Khurana Quotes
"Always remember that behind every strong and independent woman, there are days when she was alone and helpless.

"You will come across many people in your life. They will all have a purpose to fulfill. Some will teach you a lesson and some will leave your soul wounded. Some will love you for their selfish motives and some will love you unconditionally. Some will cheat you, lie to you and stab you in your back. // Learn from the lessons life teaches you and don’t waste your time on people who are there in your life for their convenience and who never take you seriously. Don’t allow people to use you for their happiness. Just be Strong and don’t let anything break you or leave you shattered. Choose the people whom you want in your life." ~Aarti Khurana

"Red cabbage: Helps your liver in more ways than one. Its greatest role is involved with the intestinal tract, where it minimizes pathogens, expels ammonia gas from the body, knocks down fungus and bacteria, and sweeps out old debris and putrefied food, making a better environment for the ileum so B12 can be produced. Red cabbage is the liver’s secret weapon, as all these benefits to the intestinal tract benefit the liver, too. Just when you think red cabbage’s duties are done, its sulfur compounds combined with its deep purple-red pigment head up to the liver, where they revitalize and regenerate injured tissue, including tissue in the liver’s deep, inner core, making red cabbage an effective tool for liver recovery." ~Anthony William, Medical Medium
