Seen a lot of people on here talking about diet and natural remedies for things, eg foods that can help certain conditions and stuff like that, apple a day, that sort of thing
Does anyone have any tips for me on that? My health, mentally and phsycally has not been great this year. Ever since having covid in January my chest has been quite bad and everything seems to set it off. My asthma has been really bad this year too, I used to be able to play football and run loads but now Im out of breath after a couple of minutes. Often feel lethargic and lacking in energy and achy and my mental health isnt great.
My little boy has terrible asthma too so anything to eat thats good for asthma will help him too
Any ideas for all this would be really welcome
Do you smoke and drink ? I do and i am out of breath typing this. Seriously though. eat plenty of fruit and veg ( Low carbs ) and healthy fats ( olive oil) I bung all veg in a wok and do a stir fry, good for fibre also and fills you up. ( Add some prawns )
lol that made me smile. I dont smoke, I like a drink but never enough to get drunk.
Fish is healthy fats too isnt it? Must try eating more cod.
I do like a stir fry especially with some chow mein sauce
Oh, thanks, I had not realised cod had any (except of course the liver which tends to be consumed separately from the fish!) We eat quite a lot of fish, maybe half our meals.
All fish have useful oils - cod livers have lots - but the flesh varies in its oil/fat content. Cod - preferably not battered - would be a lot healthier than most mammal or bird meat.
I don't think cod has the healthy fats? It's what they call oily fish like salmon and some others, sorry i can't recall them all but if you google oily fish.
Vitamin D3, B12, Co-Enzyme Q 10,Turmeric and Gentle Iron.
I actually find the opposite of this advice helpful. Fats and fiber just send me running to the loo several times a day (I tried giving it a chance for a few years to "let my system adjust" but it didn't) whereas refined carbs make it easier to get enough calories. For years I was wondering why I was so tired all the time, then changed my diet to include a lot more white carbs, gained 5kg, and feel much better - unless I do silly amounts of exercise and don't compensate for it by increasing calories, then it's back to feeling terrible for a day or two.
What supplements do you buy? I didnt know oranges helped with the cold either
I love covent garden soups, especailly potato and leek
I love my fish.
Also, I buy supplements at Holland and Barrett.
I have plenty of oranges, and soup, to deal with the cold.
