Had a really interesting talk with a colleague about incremental loss over time in motion, movement and muscle. She said it's amazing some patients I have struggle to get their leg on the bed, then themselves. It's the kind of thing where you lose a little flexibility, a little strength and you adjust and accept. Then more and more and each time you accept and then before you know it . You can't do alot of things you used to and you wonder how you got there. Incremental losses count . And they add up . Like investments they compound . But if we flip this idea we get the same happening with incremental gains over time. When we change what we eat and how we eat. Or we start to move more. We may not notice the changes, or they are slight so we adjust and accept but over time just like the losses . We can end up where we want to be. So if your out there making changes and seeing no obvious difference keep at it, keep at it, keep at it... ...... it makes a difference and if your accepting losses you can change as part of life , don't! Fight.

Alot of the time you will hear what nutrients are shown to be lacking when following a plant based or vegetarian diet. News flash "normal diets " are generally always lacking in nutrients for any given population too and often unhealthy in other ways like highly processed foods. Don't get me wrong, you can follow a plant based diet full of highly processed foods too, it's not an automatic pass into being a health and well being guru . No matter what dietary regime you follow for what ever reasons, it can be healthy and meet all your needs if your mindful and informed. Get advise and take into account your specific needs. Then get after it. https://www.facebook.com/HamishJohnstoneNutrition/  |
