•  Comments Off on Supplements to Support My Health

I used to be fully against taking supplements. It’s not that I felt they were useless. I just wanted to make sure my diet provided what I needed. However, I’ve changed my mind recently.

•  Comments Off on Drinking to My Health

I used to drink pop all the time. It was really all that I drank every day. There finally came a point when I had some minor health problems I realized was coming from drinking a particular pop. I managed to stop drinking it, but I didn’t stop drinking pop. Ever since then, it’s been […]

Despite appearances, I was very unhealthy not long ago. It happened when I was 35 years old that I had shingles. I remember feeling the bump and wondering what it might be. My coworker had a look at it and said I should consult a doctor. It was solitary but uncomfortable. I delayed. I finally […]

•  Comments Off on My Diet Story

I talk a bit on my page Natural about my diet and food habits, but this series will share more details. I had a pretty atrocious diet when I first moved out from my parents’ house. I ate fast food a lot and didn’t spend any time concerned with my health at all. I drank […]
