Eat For HealthMy quest to eat for health began a few years back, after endless trips to the hospital emergency rooms. I was so sick and my body was getting worse and worse.I knew I needed to make big changes or I would never get better. The medical profession didn't seem to be able to help me so I went in search of natural alternatives. And it was there I began to get the answers to my health issues. Making ChangesAll the knowledgeable health folks I came in contact with told me the same thing. CHANGE your diet. Get rid of animal proteins, sugars, dairy products, reduce and rid yourself of gluten, and start eating clean. I decided I had nothing to lose and came home emptied our fridge out, which in my opinion was full of healthy foods to begin with. But I soon learned a lot of it had additives and ingredients that were harming my health not helping it. We set out to our organic section of our grocery store and our produce isles, where we continue to shop from these two isles to this day. And loaded our shopping carts up with fresh organic produce, gluten free products, nut butters, nuts, seed, dried fruits, more herbal teas, beans, almond milks, and rice pastas. Before we knew it, our whole menu had changed. We were now learning to eat for health, not have me taking steroids and other such meds to gain health.My severe hives had been so bad there were many days I could not wear my clothes. The only way I was able to go to my now chemical free hair salon to work was to take meds to take the hive symptoms away. So that I did. Now I made a conscious decision to say NO to any form of chemicals in my salon, changed up my shampoos, and such to all chemical free, began eating differently and VIOLA, I was finally seeing results. Learning What Was ImportantWas it fast? Of course not, nothing is. What is expensive? Yes it was, I needed to get some detoxing products from highly qualified naturopaths and needed to buy better quality foods and supplies for my home. Was it worth it? You are darn right it was! Do you know that my husband and I never bought that big screen T.V. We bought my health instead. And now over two-three years later we just went out a few weeks ago and got ourselves a flat screen T.V. Isn't life grand!!!!My health is on it's way up.Thanks to my desire to eat for health. I continue to strive to do better all the time. I am now on a quest to live a raw food lifestyle. That without question, is the best one for health. It is a wee bit time consuming at times. And definelty not as handy as other diets out there sometimes. But I do allow myself treats, and cheats, you have to. And each night I prepare something healthy and warm for us to eat. So infact I indulge in cooked foods in the evening. Making those foods good ones to eat for health.
