A quest for better health!
I'm upset with that because I know that the heart is a muscle and even though I am not a doctor, I think that muscles can be strenthened. Bodies can be healed in most cases through lifestyle changes incorporating diet and just a little excercise. I'm challenging my friends to join me on a quest for better health. I heard that drinking one glass of wine daily purifies your blood, tea is a good drink with it's antioxidants, dark chocolate will be good for you in moderation and there are even foods that you can eat to reduce depression. I'm going to be studying more on nutrition so that I can educate myself on what's good. That's my problem, I really don't know much about food and what it does to the body. I've learned the hard way not to hold in your anxieties. It's better to go ahead and throw a good fit every once in a while and relieve some stress. Just be sure to set things straight before you go to bed that night. Forgive so you'll be forgiven. Stress can cause you to produce the hormone cortisol which in turn causes you to gain weight, which causes you more stress. Get rid of it! Here are some recipes that I know are good for your health.
