Healthy Living

Hi,

I would like to know about what are right and wrong food habits?? Also what does Healthy living means to you?

Healthy Living means almost no animal products except the eggs from my own hens. Healthy for me and healthy for the planet.

For me, healthy living is about food, sleep, exercise, and friendship. The food part means eating lots of fresh veg, ideally home grown when I can, knowing where my meat, eggs and cheese have come from, and never touching sugar.

Hello for me it's about balance as with life avoid processed foods I don't have any fat except good fat which is eggs and omega 3 in fish and cold pressed rapseed oil as fat causes cholestrol and block veins, I eat lots of fruit and veg and wholemeal bread not wheat it's kinda on the gut, avoid sugar avoid meat have lots of exercise avoid alcohol or moderation I drink non alcohol or sometimes mix I only have 2 small glasses,I try to get entry sleep or meditation 🤗

I agree it's about balance, even if we disagree on some of the details!One big disagreement though - you make it sound as though wholemeal bread is not wheat - but it is! Wholemeal simply means it is all the wheat, not just refined white flour.

I saw video about gut and things rip it wheatgerm but not wholewheat that's all I know 🤗

[Whydothis in reply to Hidden]

Wheat consists of the white middle, which is the only bit that gets into white flour, the wheatgerm, which is the bit that would grow into a new plant, and the outer layers, or bran, which is the fibre and much of the protein in wheat. Wholemeal, or wholewheat, both mean all three parts - and if you eat wheat at all this is much better than just the processed white flour with the better bits removed.

Then there is the whole discussion about whether we eat too many cereals and especially too much wheat these days, as the amount in most people's diets makes the diet very unbalanced with not enough vegetables, proteins and fats.

I understand balancing in life is very important & exercise plays a major role. Came across a article about eating what is good for health. Sharing for ur reference.

MUST CHANGE DIET this is tough but can not articulate how important this is, we are what we eat and it affects everything with MS. I can recommend three cookbooks; Runners World Cookbook, Mediterranean Diet Cookbook there a bunch to choose from and The American Heart Association Cookbook when you seriously change your diet good things start to happen but it is very difficult to get into the routine but I believe it does help slow the progression of MS dramatically.

It seems you are following a strict schedule. Long way to go. Cheers
