DIET AND EXERCISE

[gail]

one of my new years resolutions was to eat healthier foods and look after myself more. my doctor did advise a healthier diet, but when you're down you just want to pig out on crap or not eat at all.

since january i have cut out sugar, refined carbs (like white bread, cakes and pastries/pasties) and instead have been eating loads of oats, brown rice, oily fish, fresh fruit and veg and nuts/seeds. i have already noticed an improvement- its like my recovery has speeded up.

i also take a vitamin B complex, which includes B6, B12 at 25000% the rda (after consulting my doctor) and loads of other bits, in a capsule, and an omega 3 supplement as well.

these are known to help with depression/stress and anxiety.

i wish i'd taken notice of my doctor about diet/exercise because it really does help to speed up recovery - it gives you more energy to do so aswell.

peace love and light

I agree with what you say Gail about diet and exercise - my GP said the same - but my motivation is a bit up and down. But it does help from a sleep, self esteem etc. point of view

If I have been for a long walk recently, I feel great. In fact, I sometimes think I could walk forever , lolx

Its been my new years resolution to eat healthier and do exercise aswell, I even brought a work out video but that has stayed in the wrapper and I brought to cream slices when I came out of the docs so I guess that my healthy etaing plan has gone out of the window aswell!
