Lifestyle Changes
Posted: Sat Jan 16, 2016 5:17 pm
I'm going to try a few lifestyle changes after doing a test for Vegan for the last 13 days.
Also, I was able to sit down with my husband and really 'hear' the sincerity that we have a future together. That means, I now feel secure in our relationship in a way that I haven't since Pres. Obama was elected.
Food is so controversial and so directly tied to health and therefore, mood, that I want to work on this part of my health in earnest. But, I have a family of Omnivors and then one who doesn't know what she is, but seems to lean vegetarian.
So rather than cook three different styles, with three times the food, I'm going to apply the idea that 'half a loaf is better than none' and perhaps this can help everyone in the family a little more easily.
I call it the 3, 2, 1 program. And basically its every week, 3 days vegan, 2 days vegetarian, and the weekend omnivor. I don't expect anyone else to stick to this, but that's how I'm going to serve dinners and on weekends the other meals as omnivorous.
I think I will get better results in a shorter time frame this way and I'll think it will be easier to get some good benefit for me too. Maybe not as quickly, but fairly quickly.
Also, this may help farmers not freak out that all of a sudden animal husbandry is on the brink of extinction. I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.
I do know this. Milk increases the severity of allergies as do all the milk products. So if you are battling allergies or are lactose intollerant, it might not be the gluttan, but the milk. Also, milk is hard on bones, and that's reality. And last, milk increases inflamation in the body for the same reason it increases allergens. I drink less milk and I've cut out nearly all cheese and I use olive oil. You might try a limited dairy diet, not everything, but be a little less quick on that whole milk, 2 percent or cream in your coffee.
