7 ways I’ve got healthier in 7 years
Posted on
Being healthy is one of the most important things to me. Becoming pregnant with my daughter six and a half years ago really inspired my healthy journey once and for all. Before this I was always sort of healthy, or so I thought. I’d get my five a day, so that was healthy right? I’d regularly eat vegetables and salad, so that was healthy too right? I’d go for runs, they were healthy, yes? Only thing was I’d usually head to the pub after the run and have a couple of pints of cider and black, a few cigarettes and a 99p chicken burger on the way home. Nice. Nowadays I can’t believe I used to do that! I probably undid all the goodness I was giving myself as I was equally as bad with naughty snacks, way too much sugar, smoking and regular drinking, including binge drinking at the weekends.
Over the past few years I’ve become more and more healthy and I feel impossibly better for it. I never get sick and if I do it’s perhaps once every couple of years for a day or two. I no longer get a winter cough or cold which I was guaranteed before. My skin is clearer and softer than it’s ever been. I feel lighter and cleaner. I rarely have any medical complaints. I truly believe what we do to our bodies both inside and out really effects our health and mental wellbeing, much more than most of us realise.
