Re: Self care -- Food, salt, sugar and water
The only tip I have is be prepared.
As soon as I stop preparing my meals, my healthy eating goes out the window!

Re: Self care -- Food, salt, sugar and water
there is a theory of inflammation causing depression, and on a test today my inflammation is higher than months ago and I feel worse than months ago, I once gave up sugar for six months and it did seem to have benefits on my mood but I did not continue ,i got back on sugar again.

Re: Self care -- Food, salt, sugar and water
I'll join you on the April for healthy eating. I make all my meals from scratch so apart from increasing my vegie intake it shouldn't be too hard.
If you're fond of jam, make your own with only half the amount of sugar. So instead of a pound of fruit and a pound of sugar make it with a pound of fruit to half a pound of sugar. Sorry but I don't know the metric measurements. You can do the same with cakes and sweet breads too.
