I am a God-fearing human that has been developing health problems that can only be helped with good nutrition and exercise. The lack of nutritional value in regular food has been driving me to start eating more healthy as much as I can. Because eating healthy is expensive I have come across the popular couponing madness that many are following. I plan to use it to aid my pocket and the healthy grocery bill! Another thing you will noticed posted are several excellent health resources, websites, and products on this blog or on Towards a Better Health facebook page. I post information and tips on health as well! Enjoy!
Here is a little summary about my health problems and my pursuit towards a better health:
My health has gone through many problems off and on during the years. One major scare was in 2006 when I lost so much weight my sister thought I was going to die and hubbby was really concerned. I couldn't eat and drink and my organs were starting to fail. My chest hurt extremely. My legs stopped wanting to work. I couldn't walk. Everytime I would try I would collapse on the floor. When taken to the hosital, they only gave me pain medication. My parents in law at the time were going to a place where he was receiving IV treatments that contained vitamins and minerals to strenghten his body through the ordeal of stage 4 cancer. Whala! That is what started to get me back in track. I changed my diet drastically during the duration of illness. When I got better I changed back to my regular foods just because I couldn't afford the diet and I missed animal protein. However, I do thank them for taking me there. I discovered I was suffering from extreme anemia at the time and this was starting to shut down my organs. So many times my parents in law, my adopted in my heart parents have adviced me about nutritional supplements. In all my health problems I have encountered healing and energy taking supplements and in improving my nutritional intake. I think I have something related to hypoglicemia for the last few years so I am watching out and taking care of myself for it these days. Other problems with circulation annoy me once in a while too. One day it was so bad I couldn't answer the door when my mother in law was knocking at the door. I was weak and my legs were hurting very bad. She brought me some supplements related to aid circulation and I took them all. It took a whole month to recover from that bad health episode. The reality is that at the end of the equation it was family who always have been the best doctors and nurses and have nursed me back to good health. I have learned a lot from my mother, my adopted in my heart parents (ones who brought me to the States), my husband, and my parents in law to stay healthy . When I am stubbron or forget they have always been there to guide me towards good health. As a busy mom I am greatful for all of their love.
