HEALTH TOPS THE LIST

At my age, I see the importance of what others would say about health being one's wealth. Since the time I was diagnosed with a fatty liver, I did a major shift in my diet. Cold Turkey. I felt I did not miss out on my sinful food indulgences as I value my daughter's life more than my palate's cravings. The diagnosis made me both food conscious and prompt me to read more on health issues.

The shift did not provide a 100 percent relief. Although I see the tremendous effects on my weight and on my skin, there will be times that I feel not well. Two months of being a vegetarian, I felt weak, experienced heart palpitations and shortness of breathe. I had to be hospitalized. Cutting out ALL the fats in my diet resulted to imbalances in my body. Soon I was diagnosed with an impaired glucose, high sugar and prehypertension.

Up until now, I still have episodes of not feeling well. The prescribed pills offered temporary relief. With the awareness of how harmful taking these pills are, I decided to research on natural remedies. So I was back to my googling. Once again, I revived my interest on apple cider vinegar.

The chest flutters I experienced are not addressed by the pills I take but out of desperation, I took a tablespoon of this vinegar and diluted it in a glass of water. Lo and behold, in few minutes I was relieved.

I could not help but recall what my mother used to tell me. It is me who should feel what good is for me when it comes to not feeling well. Not all is addressed by the doctors and that there is no better doctor that the giver of life. So true.
