Today I would like to continue working from the The Helping take care of your cholesterol - the good-start guidebook focusing on alcohol and the types of drinks we consume in our diets.
When it comes to our personal diets, there are things we can choose to better our selves and our pain. I hope you are finding some ideas in these entries and are beginning to re-think how you eat. Even some of the medications we are prescribed, can be affected by the foods and drinks we consume in our daily diets. Making healthier choices in your foods/drinks can have a life impacting change. I've said before this guidebook is laid out over a 26 week time period...that's 6 months!! What does that indicate to you? To me it shows that the changes I choose to make should be taken slowly and over a period of time. By taking little steps and making small changes...even weekly ones...I will have a better chance at being successful with the changes I make for my life and diet moving forward. Little steps lead to big changes but you have to keep taking them. Now let's get back to the guidebook.... Before we get to the medication I need to remind you...
For this installment, I have chosen Simvastatin...Zocor **Please read this information carefully** If you have any questions about what is provided here....talk with your doctor or pharmacist please. Sometimes life pushes you to find an inner strength, that you didn't know you had...a strength you didn't think you were capable of...times when you won't realize how strong you are until you have no choice but to be strong. You are stronger than you know and believe yourself to be, better than you believe and more capable than you know. Find your inner strength and watch your life grow. ~~TJ~~ Picture taken while out on my walk I went out last night for some music therapy and am feeling it today. Between my body and my head, I'm not managing too well today so I'm taking a Me Day.
I will continue the cholesterol entries tomorrow and finish the topic this week. I hope you have a wonderful day and please do something that makes you feel good! Tammy Today we believe God wants you to know that it's time you remembered who you really are. You are not your wallet, your job, your kids, your house. You are not your activities or your worries or the labels other people give you. Like an actor you play these roles, and like a good actor you sometimes forget who you really are. Time to wake up now, and remember that you are a being of immense power and breathtaking beauty. Picture taken by my daughter Emily - my Mom's garden I came across this one day and thought as a single woman in the dating world again...this speaks volumes about the strong independent women who are used to being on their own and the men who are trying to get to know them.
I didn't start this blog to give dating advice but I did say in the beginning I would share anything that piques my curiosity or that I found interesting...and this is one of those interesting things I've found...I hope you will give it a read. 17 Things to Expect About Girls Who Are Used to Being On Their Own 1. Expect her to do her own thing often and without letting you know, at least at first. It’s not that you don’t matter; it’s just that she’s learned to love doing what she wants, when she wants, and without asking permission or informing anyone. 2. She’ll probably want to take things slowly because she’ll not be used to all the attention. Don’t think she doesn't like you enough, she probably likes you a lot; it’s just all new to her. 3. Expect her friends to be overprotective of her and to be suspicious of you at first. They’re not used to her being with someone and they’ll want to make sure you’re the kind of guy who will treat her well. 4. She’ll have a hard time letting you do things for her. Try not to take this personally. She’s just used to taking care of herself and it’ll be hard for her to live in a world where she’s got someone else looking out for her in that way. People come and people go and not everyone you lose is a loss. It may take time to realize the people who have left have made your life better by leaving but it can happen. Truth is, not everyone you meet will stay a part of your life. Some people come into our lives to teach us lessons and then leave. Others stay to be a part of our lives and we grow because of them. And then there others in our lives that we have had to leave for one reason or another. People come and people go but not everyone you lose is a loss. Continuing on with the Helping take care of your cholesterol - the good start guidebook, today I would like to cover Canada's Food Guide focusing on some healthy food choices we can make to help us lower our bad cholesterol and raise our good.
Please keep in mind that this guidebook is laid out over a 26 week time period and I'm trying to share it with you in a manner of days. The tips and strategies shared are excellent steps to managing your diet and your cholesterol. Please take a look at the following information and see if you can incorporate any of the tips and steps into your daily food routine. Follow Canada's Food Guide - vegetables and fruits A balanced diet includes foods from each of the four food groups in Canada's Food Guide. Vegetables and fruit are generally fat-free, cholesterol free and important sources of fibre. Aim to eat 7 to 10 servings every day. A serving is:
For more fibre, chose vegetables and fruit more often than drinking juice. Enjoy vegetables raw, steamed, baked or stir-fried instead of deep-fried. Eat at least one dark green veggie and one orange veggie each day. |
