Jessy is hibernating and decluttering

take one year off my RealAge by March 1, 2008 (read all 5 entries…)
Okay, having done nothing about this . . . 3 years ago

I now will make it a New Year’s resolution. I like it as a resolution, because anything positive that I do for my health contributes to it.

Here are some of the steps I will take to do it.

1. Eat flaxseed meal and milk for breakfast every morning.
2. Drink my Rosemary’s Baby health drink every day.
3. Eat five fruits and veggies every day (tough one, but gotta work on it)
4. Floss every day
5. Do ten minutes of weight training three times a week. Just ten minutes!
6. Take those vitamins that are just sitting in the drawer.
7. Buy and take some vitamin E

Hate to tell you

But I think that 5 servings of fruits and vegies is on the low end. I believe the current recommendation is 5 to 9 servings daily. And, I don’t think they’re so sure about vitamin E anymore. Don’t you hate the way the rules keep changing?

Gah, yes . . .

what is good for us today will surely kill us tomorrow.

Five servings of fruits and veggies would be a step up for me, though, so once I get there, I will worry about the 5 to 9.

As for the Vitamin E, I have read that it is not only not as good as they thought, but might even be bad in large doses. They do say that 200 IU per day is probably okay.

In the same vein, I went through all sorts of things to get Prevacid approved for Nick by my insurance company because it was prescribed for him. Now a new study is saying it blocks calcium and causes hip fractures in men who take it over 6 months. He’s been on it a year, from the hospital until now, to keep the meds he’s taking from hurting his stomach lining. Now I have to see what other ideas the doc has. Tums, anyone?
