I saw this today and it made me really sad. Sad that the society we live in relies on medication to keep healthy.
I'm not being self-righteous, I was a takeaway loving, drinking every weekend, netflix binging perimenopausal, busy & stressed mother of a teen a few years ago.
But if I knew them what I know now I would have done things differently. I wish I had found my mentors earlier.
I wish I had someone to teach me how food is the best medicine out there!! & How it can also be the worst drug, causing chronic illness, pain, obesity, and mental health issues.
Used correctly, fuelling your body well can reverse swelling and inflammation. It can help increase energy and your mood to help you feel better and want to move your body.
Unfortunately, bad diets, sedentary lifestyle and chronic illness and pain are linked.
Yes, getting healthy can be hard - choosing better meals, choosing to workout, it's not easy BUT, neither is chronic illness, or living in pain.
Choose your hard.
