Who

Are

Stressed?
Tummy
rumbling?
Upset
stomach?
Indigestion?
We
hear about so many different types of diet for weight loss that it almost
drives you to lose weight in itself with the brain power you use trying to
figure out what is the best thing to do.
So, how on earth are we supposed to figure
out in amongst all this if a said ‘diet’ is actually going to benefit our
health too?
Worry
not, you are not alone. There are many folks asking exactly the
same question. So weight loss
aside (along with its confusion) let’s talk about health and nutrition.
My
story is quite a miracle. It’s for
another blog which I very much expect has a high chance of being published
really soon. However, I do speak from experience when I tell
you that

With total conviction

Food
affects our health.
Food
AFFECTS our health.
Why
is this such a mystery to our doctors?
I do get a little on my soap box even though I have total respect for
our doctors and I know we need them.
Without them we sure would be in big trouble. However, I have been avidly researching food and nutrition and
its effects on our health for the past 7 years. Actually, it
was my biggest scoring exam I left school with. Shall I tell you a brief story?
During
my school years, I was so confused
about which options to take. My
lovely Aunt told me gently,
“You
really need to do a job you will enjoy and also be good at.”
Enjoy? I thought? Enjoy work?
Now
at this age enjoying work was a new concept to me as I had watched my hard
working factory parents have a terrible time at work.
Hmm,
enjoy work. Well, I went on to take Biology and also Food
and Nutrition with the hope of going on to become a Nutritionist. However, school advised me I would never get a job like that as there
are only 4000 opportunities within the country. So instead I went on to cook for a living and progressed to
management. All the time keeping
my interest in Nutrition.
More
recently, 7 years ago in fact I
was diagnosed with a big issue to do with my digestion. I will tell that story in another
blog.
Having
a big problem with my health at the time,
I got very sick. It was a
worrying time for me and my family and I decided to get back onto the research
wagon again.
Fighting
with my Dr who wanted to either perform surgery or put me onto steroids with
blood infusions, I was determined
there was another way.
I’m
so happy that I found a diet which was something I certainly needed to focus
hard on. This diet I will detail
further another time but my point is that just 2 short years later my lovely Dr
who we now carry a mutual respect,
sat in his office and said,
“I
have to be honest, I never saw
someone make such a huge recovery without drugs or surgery.”
How
did I do it? Eating the right
foods. Now I see a list as long as
your arm of different diets out there for all types of ailments.
We
have:
ME
Adrenal
Fatigue
IBS
Fibromyalgia
Acidosis
Crohns
disease
Ulcerative
Colitis
Excema
Asthma
and
the list goes on…
So
think if IBS for example. That’s
not actually a diagnosis. It’s a
symptom. It’s like the Dr saying
“You have a headache” when you need the reason for the headache.
I
know so many dozens and dozens of people who personally changed diet to
realize they could relieve
symptoms.
We
all seem to feel tired or lethargic at times. We often get stomach gurgles or wind….this can all be
changed with a change in diet. Did
you already know that?
However, let’s dig deeper into the minefield of
what/where/how in this blog…
