I tend to exercise a lot, and to eat relatively healthy foods, including green tea, salads, sushi, soups, and fresh vegetables.
But recently, my stomach has been hurting, and I couldn't figure out why. I decided to take serious look at my eating habits, and see if I could imprve them further.
Yesterday, at the liquor store, I bought my usual Pinot Grigio wine, but I also bought some Cheetos Puffs. The results were immediate. My stomach felt better, my sex drive was increased, and my writing became clearer and more to the point.
I feel like I have improved my heath with a single and simple dietary change.
Do you also look to subtle dietarty changes to improve your health?

I consider my diet a healthy one even if we are meat eaters at home. I have good control of my weight and I am rarely sick.

@TheHorse my favorite in McDonald's is the Coke Mcfloat. I don't like their burgers.

Once in a while I tend to eat healthier foods. But lately, the difference lies in what I don´t eat (or drink). I guess I´m getting old.

@TheHorse I know what you mean. But I don´t stop eating steaks then. I eat them with salads instead of fries or rice though.

@marguicha I love steak. But it's hot out right now. I may get sushi for dinner.

Why yes @TheHorse . Because I'm terribly underweight; I decided that Reeses Peanut Butter Cups were the answer.

@TheHorse 10-15 cups at a sitting. The only downside is that I could become a rocket and not have to use a fuel support; if you know what I mean.

I am drinking more water and less soft drinks to lower my risk of diabetes.

@Deepizzaguy I'm doing the same with a hint of lemon.

I'm glad your stomach feels better. That junk food will do it every time! I don't snack at all or I'd never lose any weight.

@TheHorse I can't exercise or walk very much; so I have that working against me.

I watch out my diet and exercise. My diet and exercise help me manage my health conditions without falling much into trap of unnecessary medicines. But yes, I do have cheat days and potato chips are really tempting. Being healthy means being happy.And these cheat days add to the happiness and so in my health

@TheHorse Happiness is a choice and you are choosing it in best possible way and the easiest one too.

Step away from the Cheetos!
We try to avoid factory foods for many reasons. Our menu is mostly raw foods or blended drinks, again for many reasons.
No dairy or animal products on our plates. Some don't understand, but it is for us we do this, not anyone else.

I am in better shape now than I was when I was 30 years old.
Since Robert moved in, we cook a lot more, but we do make cake too.
