Steady as ever, the Ox might feel the weight of stress today, affecting your appetite. You might find yourself skipping meals or overeating. The Ox's strong, steady nature can turn into rigidity when it comes to food choices. A balanced diet and mindful eating could help. According to Chinese tradition, the Ox's strength can be channeled into healthy habits.

Avoid skipping lunch just because you’re busy, as low blood sugar drags your focus.
At lunch, you're at the office cafeteria. You notice you're reaching for the same heavy pasta dish every day. You decide to try a salad instead, and it feels refreshing.
Early evening at 6:00 p.m. works best for a light dinner of soup and veggies, supporting calm sleep.
My body deserves a balanced plate with protein, greens, and a small fruit.
