Proper Nutrition

So you've been telling yourself that you will start eating healthy, next week. Well it is time to start eating healthy as the foundation for good health. Because after all, you are what you eat. And beyond that you are what you ate had for lunch. This leads me to a point that I will lightly touch on, and then brush you off to some more credible references. In a nutshell, what I'm about to tell you is probably not what you want to hear, but it is time to begin eating more healthily.

At the core your body is just a machine and this machine needs good nutrition to keep it functioning properly. The way that I eat is directly related to the fact that nutrition plays a vital role in RSI as well as other chronic diseases. I am often ridiculed and made fun of for the way I eat, but I really don't care because I know it makes me feel much better. It also helps alleviate a large majority of my symptoms, as well as helps me recover faster.

I'll bet you're wondering exactly how I eat. I think one of the best components of my current diet is the low-sodium intake and the high amount of antioxidants that I receive through fruits and vegetables. Another very important component of my diet is eating grass fed meat as it is far superior to store-bought corn-based meat. You can do the research for yourself and you will come to the same conclusion. The way I eat is referred to as the Paleolithic diet. In a nutshell, it is largely consistent upon fruits, vegetables, meats(grass fed) and healthy fats. I will provide a link to a great repository of information on the Paleolithic diet. While this diet is not for everyone. I have felt a great reduction in my symptoms since adopting it. I encourage you to research and try new ways of eating, because our current food supply is based on creating the most amount of food for the least amount of money. Whenever you sacrifice quality for quantity, problems will arise. The other thing that is wrong with our current food supply, is that there are so many processed foods. It is difficult to distinguish real food.

I implore you to get educated on nutrition, as it will aid you in the fight against repetitive strain injuries and overuse injuries.
