early august i was sick, yet again. i was going through this cycle of illness. started in sept 06 and continued until jan 07... then it started up again in the summer of 07.
i would get tired very easily. had a hard time making it through the day. very low energy.
if i did something (like grocery shop, take the kids to guitar lessons, go for coffee with a friend) then i had to have a day of rest the next day (or two days) to recover. if i didn't... i'd be sick within 2-4 days.
my muscles ached daily in my back.
eyes were sore and sometimes couldn't focus
memory... um... what was i talking about???
overheating - sheets soaked at night - feverish feeling (cold - hot - cold - hot)
often had loose stools
when i was sick:
~my skin ached
~i was very dizzy and lightheaded. i would fall over when i was standing so i held onto things to hold myself upright (more of a stumbling than a fainting)
~my ears were VERY sensitive to sound
~muscles in my shoulders and arms would ache
~dry mouth
since going raw and doing my short fasts... i'm no longer getting sick. i'm on the go all the time. so busy and i have the energy to go go go. often i come home from a busy day and walk the dog on a powerwalk for 30 minutes!!!
i wanted to share this with everyone because i feel like i have a new life, a new body, a new me!
my body also couldn't digest SAD food. i'd be in so much pain. now, the only time my tummy gets upset is if i have pineapple (weird) but everything else i've eaten which is RAW doesn't bother me at all.
it's truly amazing what healthy eating and health-filled-foods feeding your cells can do for you!
(of course my weight release of 49 lbs is a wonderful bonus to all of this!)
