Elimination Diet Dilemma: What’s More Important, Your Body Or Your Car

Hey
Hope everyone is still on their ED journey or in the process of getting on it ?
Had some great feedback from people on it, although the length of days they feel sick, with headaches is amazing, but the worse you feel, the more you probably needed to do it, and the better you'll feel when you come flying out the other side, so stick with it.


I'm always here for any help or advice you need.
My diet is probably 90% ED friendly at the moment, but will be going 100% again from next week, adding some training and more updates and tips for you.


I have attached another excellent article from Dax below



Elimination Diet Dilemma: What’s More Important, Your Body Or Your Car

Imagine you’re a kid again and on your seventeenth birthday your parents buy you the car of your dreams, the one you’ve always wanted. You’re over the moon and getting ready to take it out for that first spin around the block when they stop you and lay down some ground rules.
Sure, they give you the common ‘be safe’ advice that all parents give but on top of they that they explain to you that this will be the only car you’ll EVER own in your life, that a new eco-law has been passed limiting every human on the planet to one car and one car only for life with no trade-ins, swaps or any means legal or otherwise of ever getting another one.
Imagine they also told you that this eco law extended to car parts too and that whilst you’d still be able to get them, they’d be ridiculously expensive and that they’d be generic items designed to fit every car so that whilst they’d still work, you’d never truly get full performance from your vehicle ever again.
Sure, you’d still be able to move the thing but the handling would be stiff, sluggish and inefficient and the fuel consumption would be sky high.
Armed with these facts, how would you look after that car from that point onward?
My guess is that you’d treat it like your most prized possession and put lots of time and effort into maintaining it, oiling it, cleaning it, waxing it and generally taking care of it, right?
You’d pay for the best oils, the best fuels and the best mechanics to keep it running wouldn’t you?
After all, it’s valuable and you’ll only ever get one!
Hmm, I wonder why the rules for the caring and maintenance of our own bodies is so very different?
I mean, we only get one, right? No trade ins, no exchanges and when we get replacements or surgery it hurts like hell and yet never ever works the same way as the original did does it?
And most of us are running around with stiff, sluggish, poor-handling bodies that consume way too much fuel and are definitely a little ‘rusty’ round the edges too.
Yet the same care and attention we’d give that prize vehicle rarely if ever gets lavished upon ourselves. We say that eating healthy is ‘too expensive’ whilst at the same time stocking up on the unhealthy crap that most of us have in our cupboards.
We say that drinking water is ‘too boring’ whilst pouring gallons of tea, coffee and fizz down our throats.
We say that exercise is ‘too hard’ whilst sitting on our butts watching TV whilst watching our muscles go flabby and listening to our arteries harden.
In fact, it’s almost as if we deliberately conspire to make ourselves sick, weak and feeble!
After all, we all know that we should do more to be healthy. We know we need to eat healthier, drink more water and move more, don’t we?
But we don’t.
Shame.
People practically ignore their health their entire lives until it takes a turn for the worse. Then they’ll spend almost any amount of time and any amount of money to get it back. It just doesn’t make sense!
It’s time to wake up and smell the… clean filtered water : )
Health isn’t passive and it sure as hell isn’t free. It’s a shame but that’s just the way it is and the sooner we come to terms with that the better. If you have to pay a little more for fresh veg then pay it, if you have to pay more for fresh meat from the butchers instead of the frozen chicken nuggets the pay that too.
Here’s the deal, what you don’t pay in cash you’ll pay with your health anyway.. and THEN in cash when you have to buy your prescriptions and painkillers and beta blockers and…
You get the message.
Your health is THE most precious commodity you have. Without it you’re a lousy employee, lousy boss, lousy parent, lousy lover and spouse and if you last that long you’ll be a lousy grandparent too as you won’t be able to play with the kids because of your aches and pains, your ‘dodgy hip’ and everything else that comes from not looking after yourself.
It’s your most important commodity.
Treat it that way!
