Stuff that is good / bad for your health...

Post by elmagicochrisg »

Knowledge is the best medicine. Share your knowledge on food, exercise, etc...

Discussions are welcomed, but please try to be nice to eachother, even if you don't agree. I want this to be a constructive thread. Take the information you like and agree with, and ignore the rest. Plain and simple...

Anyways, let's start...

Dropped 10 pounds this year once I cut out soda almost completely. I'm sure it'd help others if you feel that's an issue or something. Nothing really good about soda or caffeine at all, just drinking a can of pure sugar.

Well, the things I do to keep myself healthy...

Running, swimming, cardio exercise in general.

I don't drink soda but I drink a ton of tea. I know tea isn't necissarily good for you in large quantities but I figure it's better than soda. Mostly drink decaf.

I eat lots of small meals a day. Around 7. Not only does this tend to just keep my energy levels higher, it's become necessary with my pretty severe IBS.

Any idea what causes your IBS?...

Did you already consult a doctor about this?...

If yes, did they check for celiac disease or other allergies?...

I know this thread is going to crap. Theres gonna be too many fights over whats good or bad for you.

so I may as well put my joke in.

FILTER FEEDING.

No danger, no eating, no chewing, just breathing in and out.

Yup, ruled out wheat and all sorts of other foods (dairy does make it worse). It's not IBD either. I think it's rooted in anxiety, something I've been fighting for several years. The small meals mostly serve to keep me from cramping up and having lots of spasms. Works pretty well actually.

Augmentin is pretty bad for you IMO.
