I'm curious on who here is into health and wellness
Being healthy means that it's great in order to live out longer for either your spouse, family, kids, etc.
I'm a mom myself to three girls and my goal is to live as healthy as I could each day so then when that one day comes where I would be a great grandma, it's worth it. I am not being healthy all because of them but mainly for me. My tips to all of the people that want to get healthy though, I will give you some ideas.
I personally am against sodas, pops, or whatever you call it and especially towards diet sodas. You know that thing is not even good for pregnant women when it comes to diet sodas?
Halle Berry used to drink that stuff everyday until she got pregnant and ever since stayed away from it. I already knew that thing will kill you too. I personally drink tea, soy milk, some cow's milk, juices, water sometimes. Soups are good too as long as `they are not creamy based kind of soup like clam chowder which I love very much but not good to have everyday.
I am even on a site that pays you to be healthy which is great unlike a lot of places that when you look for information, there is no incentive whatsoever.
I recently read, which in my chinese background and proof for vietnamese background, that we feed fish to babies as early as 5 or 6 months and I just found out that we weren't suppose to feed fish until they were3.
To me, waiting until they were 3 is just not good even though they fishes, depending on which one, have low levels of mercury which is nothing to be concerned about.
I was wondering what is your take on this and if you wanted to get healthy, what do you think you need to do in order to improve the quality of life for yourself? You owe it to yourself and if you have family, they would want what's best for you.
Unfortunately in my situation, my hon is obese and needs to lose weight.

I consider being healthy as one of the important areas of my life that I need to be conscious about. Keeping ourselves healthy is worth it because it's really considered being wealthy. Having a balanced diet alone will not be enough to keep our body healthy but we need physical exercise, enough sleep, and a healthy environment. Good day!happy

Same here which is why I was curious on who else is into being healthy in order to be wealthy. My equation was this healthy=wealthy and my hon didn't get it and think being healthy isn't that important.
I haven't really exercise that much lately but did go out on a walk which was good.
I do need to exercise more though which i will admit.
What do you yourself stay away from for the most part with the exception with on a cheat day to eat whatever you want?

I am into health and wellness but I have restristions on my physical part and I do what I can but when it comes to the food part I try to get what I know is healthy for the family but they don't seem to like it although I keep telling the benefits they will get from it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. lauriehomebusiness (238)   ranked 8,315 out of 8,776 in health  4 years ago

I'm sorry about the physical part but at least you are into being healthy and stuff. What is it that they don't like?
Ever try giving them soy milk? If they don' like it, they have no idea what they are missing but there are some soy mulk I like. One of them that are sold at Safeway is Soy Dream soy milk. Those are so good where they can go wih Nestle's Carnation Breakfast drink in place of cow's milk.
My hon doesn't like eating and drinking most of the stuff that I like.
I drink tea. he doesn't. I drink soy milk. he doesn't. I eat lots of healthy and to me, delicious stuff. To him, it's just gross especially if I cook it in something that he doesn't like the smell of it like for example, I made raw green beans with black bean garlic sauce that are sold in asian stores.
That goes good with rice and salted chicken.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Residual (986)  4 years ago

Yes I have tried soy milk I end up drinking it. Eveen the chocolate.

But I want to teach myself how to cook tofu in different ways so that they will think they are eating meat and not know it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. lauriehomebusiness (238)   ranked 8,315 out of 8,776 in health  4 years ago

Yikes. That is so horrble that they don't like soy milk?
Since you want to learn how to cook tofu in different ways, you can look up recipes for tofu and try some that you might want to try to cook up tonight or whenever you have the time. Of what I have said, if nobody else likes my cooking, more food for me. ha ha ha lol
You could stir fry tofu in with vegetables but cut them in square shapes like stir fry vegs and tofu kind of style. Eat it with rice and can add some soy sauce or oyster sauce. My dad had cooked tofu where it's cut into square shapes and then you add some oil like canola and fry it up in wok or some pan.
I'm chinese so I know.
My hon doesn't like most of the foods that I eat which are healthy. Unfortunately, his side of the family are not healthy compare to mine.

i try to be but I am not really financially able to do alot right now. I am going to be buying wheat flours and brad as much as possible though. Someone on here just said they lost 60 lbs in seven months just by doing this. I think this would be excellent. I would like to be able to do this. I do eat alot of fruits and veggies.


myLot reputation of 97/100. lauriehomebusiness (238)   ranked 8,315 out of 8,776 in health  4 years ago

I'm not financially able either but I try to eat right when I can.
I believe that I need to eat more fruits and veggies and having to wait until next month so then I would get some free money on the card to get some groceries.
I avoid pops/sodas, fried foods when I can, sometimes eat some ice cream but not all the time, in place of some of those bad chips with partially hydrogenated something oils, get the ones that are better for you in the long run without that ingredient in it as well as hydrogenated something oils. Those will clog up your heart like there's no tomorrow.
I notice a lot of frozen foods like Hot Pockets here in the states have that ingredient in it especially Weight Watchers products like their ice cream.
I drink green tea everyday like 2 or 3 cups at least.
I eat less of process foods when I can and eating seafood stuff in place of meat is better for you too.
I would want to lose like at least another 10 more pounds as well.
