Dietary Defense

A lot of my writing has been around mine and my wife's diet changes. It's been something I've known that we needed to change but never seemed to make it to the top of the priority list.  

I personally felt that what I (we) were eating had a profoundly negative impact on our health.  As I've been getting older the affects were becoming more and more evident to me.  Increased weight, inflammation, bloat, gassiness, reduced energy etc etc etc.  Finally I had enough but I was puzzled on where and how to start? 

I happened to be awake early one morning and (our radio is always playing quietly in the background) there was a interviewee discussing the benefits of green smoothies to overall health.  What really caught my attention is that when she's working with her clients and they have difficulties figuring out how to start her suggestion is to drink one green smoothie a day and give it three to four weeks.  She described the improvements her clients felt and they were the things I was looking for.  

That little snipet of a radio interview helped kick off our green smoothies and improvements to our health.  One other thing that's stuck with me over the years is something that Sihing Csillag said.  It went  something like this.  "I'd rather keep my health while I have it than to try and get it back after I've lost it.", Me too Sihing, me too.

  2. Concentrated herbal infusions can be a useful tool that way too. Stinging nettle for example. It’s rich in protein, chlorophyll, minerals, and vitamins. So useful and yet people prefer to hate this “weed”. Nice thing is that they can be a nice hot alternative to cold smoothies. I prefer nettle combined with peppermint myself.
