Taking Control of My Health

Some of you will know that I've been on a bit of a "health quest" for the past ten months.  Actually my "quest" has been much longer than that, but about ten months ago I finally began to have some success.  I have been suffering from gradually worsening menstrual migraines for some time.  Not being satisfied with suggestions from doctors, I've been convinced that there's a natural nutritional way to deal with this.  In August last year I stumbled across a program called "Eat Yourself Healthy in 28 Days".  This program looked pretty radical, but promised great things.  After another bout of migraines I resloved to give it a try.  I am pleased to report that things on the headache front improved within a week!

Since then I have continued to research lots about good health and these days I find myself living largely on "super foods".  I think it's funny that we call them "super foods".  Actually they are REAL foods and all that refined, over-processed and over-sugared stuff that used to creep into my diet is nutritionally lacking.

I remember when my daughter was very young I read in a parenting book or magazine how toddlers have very small appetites so it's important to make sure you take every opportunity to get the good stuff in.  I now realise that for optimum health, it's important, whatever your age, to take every opportunity to fuel your body with the good stuff!  I will no longer waste my time eating refined or processed foods.  I eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, nuts, seeds, good oils, only whole grains, quality meats, limited gluten, no cow's dairy, no sugar, no coffee, drink lots of water, and I feel amazing every day!

The purpose of this blog is to share my journey, the things I have learned so far and new things that I am discovering, and just maybe this will help someone else too.

The quest for great health is something I have become quite passionate about.   If you are interested too, stay tunned for future posts about "People Who Have Inspired Me", "Information" and "Planning & Preparation Tips" and possibly more.
