Springtime Revival and Healthy Resolutions

Oh, spring is the time of resolutions for sure, and I think that it's when everyone comes out of hibernation and you're starting to, you know, want to be out and about a little bit more, you're looking forward to maybe your summer holiday, you want to start looking good, maybe shedding a few pounds, you know, and it's It's just a time of happiness and renewal and the birds are starting to sing and the flowers are starting to bud and it's just a wonderful time. And I think it's just so healthy for everybody, you know. And I think it's a long old winter in England and it just seems to take longer and longer for summer to appear. So I think it's just a really great time to make resolutions, to eat more raw food, to take more exercise, to look good, all in all, it's hard not to feel happy in the spring I think. One of my biggest resolutions which I made, was it in the spring? Yes, I think it, no, no, no, it wasn't, I'm sorry, it was in January but it works in the spring too, is that I was just feeling very low energy and like I sit down to sew after lunch and I literally fall asleep over my sewing and And I thought, what's going wrong with me? And so I looked into it and I stopped eating carbohydrates. And I'm not saying this as like a healthcare practitioner, so don't get me wrong. I mean, I'm no expert. I'm just telling you what worked for me was I just cut out all carbs. So no pasta, no rice, no more lentils. And I ate a high protein diet of fish, meat, green leafy vegetables, not root vegetables, and lots of eggs and nuts. I made my own nut milk, high fat yogurts, and it really gave me a lot of more energy. And I lost 10 pounds, which was great. So that was my thing that I did last year. But I'm not prescribing it. I'm not saying it works for everybody. I'm just personally saying that was something that worked really well for me. Of the nine characteristics, that speaks to me for spring is able to maintain healthy lifestyle changes even in times of stress because I think it's very easy to say oh we're going to be happy and wonderful and spry when things are going well. It's when things aren't going well that one's really tested. Well again I think it's very what the experts can do, healthcare experts can do is help people will prevent things and promote really healthy lifestyles before people get sick. Because once you get, say, obese or sick or depressed, it's really hard to climb out of that situation. So preventative is always the best, I think. So I think that's how health care professionals can really help, and volunteers. you
