The First Change

After the birth of my second child I found myself extremely tired and run down. I knew that it couldn't be right since I was in my twenties, not really overweight and exercised regularly. I also began having strange anxiety attacks (even when I didn't feel anxious, if that makes any sense) and heart palpitations. I went to doctors and nothing was wrong with me. But I still had NO energy to play with my children. I was eating a typical low fat, low or no red meat diet. Some other things occurred at the same time to cause me to start doing my own research and not trust doctors completely. -That is for another blog.- I read about green drinks full of chlorophyll and other nutrients that would help my body detox and give me energy. I found one and although it tasted HORRIBLE I kept drinking. I did eventually learn to like it. Amazingly, I started to feel better. Not great but definitely better. I still drink one today. Not the same one. This one actually tastes pretty good. Green drinks are a great place to start. They help detox your body slowly and gently. They help promote regularity and good digestion (which is extremely important). Good topic for another day. So go try a green drink. I really like the one that has greens plus berries. It's good. My kiddos even drink with OJ & water though.
