Changing diets

-


OK,Both my hubby and I are on doing this new experiment of not eating chicken and meat for 2 weeks.We are going to survive on eggs and vegetables.

Why Am I doing this because since I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis (5 yrs running),we are trying to strike off any food that causes my flare ups.Flare ups usually mean  swollen fingers and knees making it difficult to bend and thus not able to do many things like normal healthy people.

I have added this guy on my facebook account named the "RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS GUY" who has been an inspiration for me basically because he is in a more painful state than I but his continuous non stop struggle to inform people and encourage other sufferers like us to hang in there and never give up hope of feeling better.

Derailed off the topic there,so that's why? Now its has been difficult to not eat chicken.Coz there comes a time when you don't know what else to cook everyday,a dilemma for every homemaker.Now 4 days of bottle gourd and 1 day of (today) Ivy gourd,I'm sort of done eating gourds.I have stocked my fridge with bitter gourd,carrots and zucchini and cucumber.In the name of non veg,I have been stuffing myself with eggs everyday.


I went to my friends place the other day and she had lentils,which is bad for RA sufferers and fried chicken samosas.I popped the first one and tasted chicken and before I could tell myself I'm a bad girl,I popped 5 more.Embarrassing.....Shameless....Why couldn't I say no to my tummy and head,isn't it !



Ah the hurdles a foodie has to face.When you are told,now onwards you should  stop eating rice,you crave it even more.Stop chocolates,and you feel you're blood sugar has plummeted and will send you into a coma.
Now ask me not to exercise and I'm the happiest coz my brain says,here you have a true friend.

Anyone out there,put a stop to something you love and struggling to get through it????????

Heart Attack

I had been wanting to write on this topic for quite some time but now with constant bombardment of doctor shows and health shows regarding this topic,I think it has to be finally written. Many of us think that heart attack is limited to people who have crossed 50 but with the kind of lifestyle we live,thanks to the damn modernisation in every aspect of our life, what we call luxury ,is the eternal damnation of of our so called lazy lives. Women are prone to heart attacks now compared to men and this is one thing that's always in news out here.Woman,age 32,died of a massive heart heart attack.Has left behind 3 kids less than 10 yrs of age.Man died of heart attack,43 yrs old.Body to be sent home in 3 days.its actually become a very common thing nowadays. I was saved by the bell last year and coming to think of it,I actually thought I was invincible before all this coz I wasn't even 34 yet.As it will be explained later on in the blog, Please don't be a hypochondriac but...

Happy marriages Final part

Eclipsed by Expectations What's most noticeable about Sarah and Mark Holdt of Estes Park, Colorado, is their many differences. "He's a Republican, I'm a Democrat. He's a traditional Christian, I'm an agnostic. He likes meat and potatoes, I like more adventurous food," says Sarah. So Mark heads off to church and Bible study every week, while Sarah takes a "Journeys" class that considers topics like the history of God in America. "When he comes home, I'll ask, 'What did you learn in Bible Study?'" she says. And she'll share her insights from her own class with him. But when Sarah wants to go to a music festival and Mark wants to stay home, "I just go," says Sarah. "I don't need to have him by my side for everything." He's there when it matters most—at home, at the dinner table, in bed. "We both thrive on touch," says Sarah, "so we set our alarm a half hour early every mornin...
