Fiber Rich Food

Someone I know recently underwent a colon cleansing treatment from a spa/therapy/treatment health and wellness center. I am not sure if she is taking colon cleansing pills but what I know of was she went through an oral cleansing regimen by ingesting food with lots of dietary fiber.

In our household we try to do some things differently by doing some changes in our food intake to make sure we have fiber rich food to help and digestion and fecal movement. Ewww? No, its not.

We have brown rice which is said to be rich in fiber. We have coffee that has green beans. We steer clear of food rich in animal fat. We have fish and white meat as part of the diet more than we have red meat. Processed food has no place in our meals and we try to avoid these as much as possible. Fruits and vegetables are regularly consumed.

These are just a few of the little steps to be done to ensure that health is given priority without denting the budget. It is doable.

Healthy Alternatives

We have not been having soft drinks a lot lately. One reason is because my husband has been having upset stomach when he does. I just hope it isn’t the beginning of an ulcer.

Another reason would be our attempt in trying to have more nutritious food and drinks at home. We have even resorted to bringing food and drinks whenever we go out of the house.

It is important to watch what we put in our bodies. Becoming healthy does not mean one has to shell out large amounts to be able to be one. Those “lowly” green and leafy vegetables are wonderful sources of nutrients that we need to be healthy.

Backyard gardening is one answer to having fresh food. Buying reasonably priced nutritional supplements like Orovo is also a good thing.

There are so many choices when it comes to getting good drinks. There is a variety of teas available. We have yellow tea after dinner. The children have fresh lemon grass tea at night too. There are also drinks that provide nutritional supplements. Fresh coconut drink is also one drink that we like.

Even if we live in they city, we can still have these fresh produce as alternative to fast food.
