Greetings,I'm here and will attempt to answer questions that relate to either your SPIRITUALITY or your HEALTH. I consider myself to be a very spiritual human being, not religious as I don't follow an organized religion's dogma.
My heart is my good book and I attempt to live life from that point of view. I have lived long enough to have gained some wisdom and feel I could have something worthwhile to share.
I've used herbs and natural supplements and followed a healthy lifestyle since the early 90's, in fact it was herbs and herbal supplements and some lifestyle changes that saved my life.
As there have been some pretty wonderful people that have helped me along my life's journey, it's simply my turn to give back and if I can help someone here, I'm glad to do that. Hope to hear from you with your questions and if I help just one other person during my experience here, it will have been worth it. Have a very Happy&Health new year everyone, you all deserve it!
advice
Recently, I have been having difficulty in concentrating, making decisions, and being confident in myself. Could this be signs of the dysthymic disorder? If so, how can I be able to treat it myself?
Glad I might have helped you.... also back to the antibiotic thing, if you have indeed taken some in the last 10 years, then your internal 'flora' is out of whack and taking a bottle of a good acidolphilus will put back the '
good flora that needs to grow in you..... you can get it at any healthfood store, just make sure that they have it refrigerated...
Also... try stepping up your intake of veggies and fruits.... winter time is a good time to do more protein.... like meat... so the body burns warmer.... but do stay away from sooo much sugar.... I love chocoloate too but I buy a bar that is 85% cocoa and four big squares only has 5 grams of sugar.... so it's almost all chocolate, dark, and they are soooo good.
What sodas.... esp diet, they kill brain cells your body NEVER repairs!!!
And make sure you're getting some exercise that gets your heart pumping and gets your blood oxygenated!!!! A fed brain is a happy brain!
Good luck! Thanks for you nice reply!
(Rating: 5) Wow, I never thought about it that way. In actuality, yes I do eat a lot of chocolate, lol, and tend to be on the unhealthy side of my diet. Thank you so much, I never realized it. I should be more in constant check of what I'm intaking.
