Morning Family, todays question:

"What dietary changes could you make to improve your overall health?"

 

 

For me, i need to force myself to drink 8 glasses of water a day, so bad toxins get flushed out and i need to eat more RAW fruit and veg and less processed and refined sugars, cos sugar affects my battered immune system, and cut back on dairy for my sinuses.

How about you?

Eat vegetables, fruits, whole grains and take vitamins instead of my most unhealthy diet of junk food, fried foods, white bread and all the other unhealthy stuff I eat.  I have a horrible diet and I know I should change it completely but just haven't done it.  Every once in a while I think about it and buy some bananas and celery and carrots at the grocery store and eat them for a week or so and then go back to my old ways.  I know, I know it is bad but I just don't like veggies and can't stand whole wheat or whole grain breads and stuff.  No excuses.  I just don't eat right.  I know exactly what I should do but don't.  I'm so bad.

I have Crohns disease and live on a low residue diet. If I didn't eat this way I would be seriously ill.

Just out of curiousity....does a/p effect our immune system in any way. I work security(bouncer) at a really big country dance bar thats always filled with smoke and I stay sick all the time. always starts as a sinus problem and then moves to my chest and I wind up coughing my butt off for the next 4 or 5 days. I tale vitamin supplements every day. I take C and a B super complex butt I still wind up getting sick every couple of weeks. Should I just find a job that aint so smoky?

I'm horrible!!!

I'll have to make a healthier grocery list darn it!

nono  Nikki Nikki Nikk i shocked

Now that you definitely know what your issue is and problems are with eating healthy .........

TRY going to shopping store and limit self to stuff like fruits, cukes ,grapes

 

When laying on the bed with laptop sweety keep your snack or junkfoods out of reach of you .....write a daily journal of what you have and be totally honest with self........... turn

Try this for a week do a journal ........NO take out nono and only healthy food

THERE will be a big difference in you hun............

Making a lil plate of GOOD foods is very easy and something cait just loves'She will have cukes on there pickles and peppers as well as bananas and a tangerine

Her meat would consist of the Peanut butter on crackers lol

Sometimes she does like a meat and cheeses plate with those lil tomatoes

Sh is a very good size for her age and very concious abut what goes into her mouth

 

I wish you ALL the best in your endeavor ..........Luvs,,,,,,,,,,LYN

I definitely need to be eating more raw fruits and vegatables myself too, and start walking more. I kind of make the excuse of my chores being enough exercise, but I don't think it is the same as actually steadily getting my heart rate up with exercise. It is kind of hard at times, because if I spend to much time on my right let, it hurts really bad that night and the next day with my hip and knee.

I will get there :) I've made plenty of changes and it takes time :)
