Do you want to lead a healthier life? If yes, that’s excellent news! Because I would like to help you with that!
My name is Annette de Lange, and I currently live in Woodbridge, near Ipswich, in Suffolk in the UK.
Until 2010 I considered myself to be healthy – this despite chronic sinisitus, which gave my laryngitis several times a year. My knees ached going up and down stairs, I was on medication for an irregular heart beat (despite the cardiologist not finding any physical cause for it), and most of all, I was tired, even though I didn’t realise it, because that was my normal.
I ate my 5 a day, but I didn’t know about how crops are manipulated to increase crop yields and that the food is subsequently processed to increase shelf-life. What was the sad thruth is that at cellular level my body wasn’t getting the nutrients I needed for a healthy life.
That all changed when I found whole-food nutritional supplements. The sinisitus and achy knees are gone and I haven’t had laryngistis for some time. I also don’t need the medication anymore, because I have since discovered that a calcium deficiency may cause issues with nerve function, affecting the functioning of the heart: I had started taking KalMag because my mother had osteoporosis and I wanted to reduce my risk of it. Then, about 6 months after I started taking the supplements, I woke up one morning and realised that I hadn’t felt tired for weeks! This thanks to a plant lipid & sterol supplement.
When I changed jobs a few years ago and moved to a new area I went to an “introductory” appointment at my new GP, and they didn’t find any of the common chronic diseases people my age tend to suffer from. In 2015 I removed sugar from my diet and I had another set of amazing health improvements: weight loss, improved sleep and loss of swelling around my ankles. Recent blood tests were all well within the normal range. Not bad for a 57 year old female!
The changes in my personal health led to me to wanting to know more about how the food we eat help or hinder our health and wellbeing. I did a nutrition course and learned a lot about why the human body needs both macro- and micronutrients, and how protein, healthy fats and limited carbohydrates from fresh fruit and vegetables, together with vitamins and minerals, work together to maintain a healthy mind and body.
I’m so glad that I’m healthy and feeling great. We human beings were not meant to be sick and unhealthy and on medication. We only need to feed our cells by eating real food, and supplementing when required!
I look forward to discussing health & wellbeing with those looking to improve their health.
In my next post I’ll tell you about my recent experiment with a carnivore diet…
