Yesterday I left work early to head to a doctor’s appointment.
This was my follow-up from my last appointment where I gave blood for a nutritional panel.
My doctor is a Medical Doctor but she tends to lean towards a Holistic approach to medicine-believing that many “aliments” can be caused and therefore treated by deficiencies in your blood specifically vitamin and nutrient deficiencies.
I found out that I am deficient in:
- magnesium
- selenium
- zinc
- vitamin D
Here is my course of treatment for now:
She also recommended some other things like:
- eat a bit of protein as soon as you wake up to “break the fast” and then have coffee
- DRINK MORE WATER-so hard when you are a teacher and can only use the bathroom at certain times!
- cut back on the refined carbs-duh-I know…..easier said than done
I am a work in progress…… : )
Then I came home to this face:
And had a gorgeous salad beast with my husband.
The star of the show:
Not as good as the last egg white salad. Probably would not buy this one again.
Good glass of vino:
Watched an episode of Dexter.
Walked Pepsi.
And hit the hay.
Hope you had a great Hump Day!
Do you ever wonder if you are taking vitamins that you do not even need?
