| Believe it or not, I have not had a can of soda or pop for over 3 years now.
I found out a number of things when it came to drinking carbonated beverages
and one was the salt content in the drinks. The other being, I feel better
more often either because of the meds I am on OR because I have quit
drinking them. My caffeine is very limited. I awoke one morning when
suddenly my body said NO-NO to coffee. That was a very sad day in my life,
having been a coffee lover all my life. But would rather not drink coffee
then feel sick to my stomach so I concluded no more coffee. No capuccinos.
Gosh, life is hard!
I can drink tea as tea has one-third the amount of caffeine in it that
coffee has. So hence, I am happy that I can partake in a hot cup of tea one
or two times a week and drink the Crystal Lite make believe ice tea mixes.
Another thing is, I do not use table salt. I do use Season All or nothing
at all. My sodium tests have all come back low so I know the salt is not an
issue.
I do have a problem sweating profusely, more often then not. But then
again, a lot of this can be caused from my hypothyroid levels jumping around
or who knows what else!
I LOVE AVACADO DIP... at least when i make it! I could eat a gallon of that
a day.
I think i will cut some of the fresh aloe outside and try this on my legs
for a while and see if perhaps i notice a difference. Maybe i can find some
recipes for aloe in making cremes and so forth online. Good idea!! Thanks
for helping stick it in this thick skull of mine!!!
Always,
