Discover My Path to Better Health: Embracing Clean Eating After High Cholesterol
I recently visited my doctor for my annual physical, and the only significant health concern that arose was high cholesterol. I've been following a low-carb, low-fat, high-protein diet to address this issue. After my appointment, I resolved to be more mindful of my physical activity, make healthier food choices, and aim to lower my cholesterol without relying on prescription medication.
In addition to focusing on healthier eating habits to manage my cholesterol, I have been working to reduce my intake of processed foods. Lately, I've noticed that consuming processed foods makes me cough excessively and even feels like I'm choking. This experience has motivated me to shift towards more homemade meals to cut down on processed ingredients.
Cutting out processed foods and those that contribute to inflammation has proven to be quite challenging. Many of the foods I enjoy have been identified as problematic for my health. In my quest for healthier alternatives, I've discovered that some foods I once thought were healthy actually contain harmful ingredients. This realization has made me question the effectiveness of dieting and exercising if the food I'm consuming is detrimental to my health.
To address this, I've begun purchasing organic vegetables and fruits, incorporating microgreens from Lee’s Greens, and opting for clean foods whenever possible. Although I still want to enjoy my favorite dishes, the inflammation in my knees and my high cholesterol have underscored the necessity of changing my eating habits.
This journey towards better health has been both enlightening and transformative. Addressing high cholesterol has pushed me to rethink my dietary habits, moving away from processed foods and towards a more mindful approach to eating. By focusing on organic vegetables, fruits, and incorporating nutrient-rich microgreens, I’m not only improving my health but also discovering a new appreciation for clean eating. While it’s been challenging to adjust to these changes, the benefits of feeling better and supporting my well-being make it all worthwhile. As I continue to balance enjoyment with health, I encourage you to explore these healthier choices in your own life. Embracing clean eating can lead to significant improvements in your overall health and vitality.
