Projecto Inflammation be gone-o

I am making an appointment this week to check out my horrible knees and get the ok to start exercising again. My shoulder is good but my knees need some looking at. I have been off my exercise regemine for around 4 months and have worked on my eating habits, intro to juicing, drinking more water, and improving my overall health. I am working on lowering my stress which I feel daily and its little things and big things but move on its good to be alive.

Sooooo......

Projecto Inflammation Gone-o
(one of my many experiments since doctors just regurgitate crappy information at times)

reduce intestinal inflammation--step uno or one for those who don't know any spanish :)

Everyone that I know or that I have ever met says "wow I ate so much!" and rubs their belly or they say "man I am fulllll!" and pats their stomach after they eat. Usually after pasta, burgers, pizza, mexican food, or just a simple sandwhich and chips....come on really. I can eat 2 pork chops and 2 cups of brussels sprouts and a full avacado and feel great with no "uuuggghhh i'm so full and look at my belly pop out to prove it"

Ok so the deal is--if your stomach is in your rib cage how are your intestines and lower gut so bloated right after you eat???!!! ever wonder???!!!

My belly picture above consists of: (picture taken around 1pm after lunch)

2 eggs
1 thick pork chop
2 paleo pancakes with tad of organic butter and a drizzle of maple syrup
1 1/2 cups of home made V8 juice
1/2 breast of chicken
1 cup of mixed veggies
2 glasses of water
an apple
handful of almonds

WOW i'm full but not nauseating full and no i did not need to rub my belly......although i'm sure if i ate way less food and only added 2 slices of bread to breakfast and one small slice of pizza for lunch i would look & feel completely different.

If you feel that this is something you want to think of and become more aware of then great because it took me a few years to even start thinking...step one is a perfect step.

Getting rid of inflammation is key to getting heatlhy.... for goodness sakes your immunities are in your intenstines! and when your intestines are bloated and yelling for help how can you expect them to funtion at 110% when your not feeding them what the deserve.

To do this I.....
dramatically lowered my sugar intake from all sugar types and forms of, no dairy, no processed, no caffeine and more alkalizing foods. This seems to be helping whatever damage has been done with too much fruit, sweets, salt, dairy, processed, and whatever else crap I ate for many many years.

read more about what foods cause what later this week.....stay tuned!!
