What do I do to keep healthy?

[Anonymous]

I have been a vegetarian for 12 years and try to use only organic fruits and veggies( not always possible). I walk 30 to 45 minutes every day and I avoid sugar and white flour products. I am faithful with daily vitamins and especially a large daily dose of vitamin C. I drink fortified soy milk to boost my calcium intake. Before I became a vegetarian, I had a problem controlling my weight and cholesterol. Being menapausal, I stopped taking Estrogen and use only phyto estrogens and soy products to control symptoms of menapause. I volunteer for several animal rights and rescue groups , and I adopt homeless and feral cats. Pets make me happy and everyone knows a happy person is a healthier person!

I drink lots of water, spend time with those who are not toxic.

My brother highly recommends a part time raw food diet. His feedback is that it gives him much more energy, he does a lot of exercise so it's very beneficial for him. It's quite a struggle for him to stick to long term but a few days a week is better than nothing.

I do yoga three times a week and love it, I don't like the gym but go for long walks a few times a week.

Simply put, BE YOURSELF and BE HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE!

If you're already living a healthy physical lifestyle, live a happy mental health style.

Better yet Almonds - it's easier for the spammers to advertise their junk by tossing a line of something they themselves don't even do.................amazing how low spammers will go.

Too bad more people wouldn't be themselves - but then again in this age of "plastic" and hiding behind a computer screen as well - many are fake old wanna be's - wishing they could be what they claim to be -

you know that commercial -

"Hello - my name is Peggy........."

OH KW, my husband & I are ready to throw a ? brick, block, shoe, BOOT? through the TV when that ad shows up...and as we seldom watch more than national & local news, it seems to show up on TV each time we turn TV on.

Someone (maybe you, dear KW) should start a topic & call it "THE DUMBEST TV ADS YOU'VE EVER SEEN'. Could be so funny!

P.S. I'm NOT PEGGY!

Hey - Peggy is the way of the world now! Think about it - and that commercial is so true. You must have come across your fair share of Peggy's when you called for internet services and many other customer service calls that are made to other countries (outsizing our jobs!)

I'd rather see Peggy than cialis, and that band that sings about viagra - OMG - little kids watch TV and learned to sing that song! Or the KY commercials - as bad as feminine hygiene and jock itch commercials, etc. - give me Peggy over those any day.
