WELCOME

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am here to tell people on what I know about health and nutrition and how to live a healthier lifestyle. I am not a dietician or nutritionist, nor do I claim to be. I am just some one that has a background of a very unhealthy lifestyle and have now began living a healthy one. So I would like to share my knowledge and experience to help others to achieve their goals. I will be sharing tips on how to stay healthy, recipes for the everyday family and how to opt for healthier alternatives, and information on keeping not only a healthy body, but a healthy mind. I will also be keeping track of my own weight loss progress with tips on what works for me and could work for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also, be sure to ask about the 90 Day Challenge..

PAIN

Today I had spent most of my afternoon up at the ER because I somehow managed to sprain and tear some tissue in my foot. It is very painful and because of the pain I ended up awake all night practically in tears. So today I had no choice but to go to at least get it checked out to make sure I had no broken bones or a blood clot. And thankfully it was neither but all the same I am in tremendous pain where it is unbearable at times. So I just ended up coming home with a pair of crutches, a comfy foam shoe, and of course pain meds.
As for the pain meds, I am not very subject to taking pharmaceutical drugs unless it is absolutely nesseccary to do so. Therefore I have opted to fight this pain naturally with these 11 natural painkillers:

Fish oil
Olive oil
Tart cherries
Saliva
White willow bark
MSM
Boswellia
Devils Claw
Curcummin (Turmeric) 
Bromelain
Magnesium

So I will put these natural remedies to the test and so where they stand on their reputation. In the meantime I plan to get plenty of rest the next few days before Christmas arrives and to just simply take it easy..
