Daily Food Diary – Day 13 of 365

Thirteen days down, three hundred and fifty two to go. 👍  I think I am doing a pretty good job of working these posts into my morning routine.  That is half the battle.

Before I write my morning blog, my days begin with coffee, reading the local newspaper online, and taking my daily ‘medication’ which fortunately consists of a couple of inhalers and a couple of vitamins.

So far, I have avoided drugs for high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol.  I am more than grateful for that as I do not tolerate ANY medication well.

That being said, in October 2024, I had a complete blood and urine testing done and there were a number of borderline issues.   Glucose, salt, cholesterol all indicated that I had better get my diet under control.

I have been working on it, including taking on this three hundred and sixty five day food diary, talking to a dietician at a lipid (cholesterol) clinic, and reading a variety of articles on nutrition.

I came across this short article yesterday and found it very interesting, especially because a number of my tests indicated a high level of inflammation.

I go for repeat blood and urine testing next week, so I am getting excited to see if my results have begun to improve yet.   I am feeling much better than I was in October so wish me luck! 🤞
