This October Think Fall Ahead, Not Behind: Nutrition
Hey there everyone! So glad to see many of you took extra steps to exercise in September. This month, as you continue to exercise, remember to think about good nutrition.
Sometimes I know I fall off the wagon when it comes to sneaking in food (chocolate) that causes me extra flare ups. The few seconds of eating the food (chocolate) isn't enough pleasure compared with to the several days of discomfort that follow. There are so many options nowdays. For example, if a milk product causes you extra trouble try the "dairy" products made from rice or soy. There are many sugar-free options out there when it comes to candy and ice cream now as well. See if there is an organic health shop/grocery store in your area. (If you are in the Peoria, IL area try Naturally Yours Grocery Store in the Metro Center) Since organic meat can be pricey just try adding it in every now and then. I find all the additives in regular meat causes me flares, but organic meat doesn't. Same goes for organic milk too.
Right now, apples (including low-acid Gala apples) and other fruits are ready to be picked at orchards. If you have one in your area try the U-Pick option. It's a great way to get fruit as fresh and nurishing as possible. Plus the walking and picking will meet your exercise goal for the day at the same time! Many of these places have easy bathroom access as well. If you are in the Peoria, IL area try Grandview Orchard 2 miles North of Metamoria, IL.
With winter just around the corner cold and flu season will be upon us. If you're like me, the last thing I want is something like the flu on top of the bladder problems. By focusing on good nutrition now, along with a regular exercise program, I really think that will decrease our chances of extra illness this winter.
Please feel free to share any of your ideas on how you stay on the good nutrition path. (and if you've figured out any tricks on how to stay away from chocolate, please let me know! ) wink
Happy eating!
