bakaneko sugar! ;-; I had a body checkup a couple days back and ther results came and I have too much sugar in my blood... also I lack nutrients... so.. I was wondering what are the type of things I still can eat that are sweet and what can I eat thats really nutritious for me? I only know that doctor Choi told my mom to make sure I drink lots and lots of water but other than that.. I don't know what else I can do.. I know excercise would be a good idea.. but.. other than walking around I don't think I really can do much.. ;-; please halps me! Akagi Ritsuko Sweet as well as high in nutrients and water? Care for some fruit bakaneko? Try a variety. To much of one or another can make you tired of them. But in general, when you feel the urge for some junkfood, aim for something healthier. Want a candy bar? Eat a banana. Want a desert? Try some melon. Want some chips? Eat some grapes, or rice crackers or such. You can even substitute vegetables like celery and jicama for when you want a crunchy snack. If it just isn't enough, there are always sauces, dips, and spreads, but use sparingly, or your right back into the junk-food catagory. Find a mix of things that you like and get those instead of the kinds of things that are less healthy for you. Another good way to get sugar out of your diet is to give up sugary sodas. Instead of a soda, drink some juice or water. Or if you absolutely have to, switch to diet. As for nutrients, you should probably take a multi-vitamin supplement, if that is a problem for you. Akagi Ritsuko When it comes to exercise...I understand. Some days, it mostly consists of walking from my desk to the coffee-maker and back, but it is something you should do. The hard part, really, is finding a form of exercise that you enjoy and isn't so much of a chore...although, I feel I should add that chores around the house are a decent form of exercise. I like to take a swim now and then. Not only is it a very good and thorough low-impact exercise, I also happen to enjoy the hydrodynamics and the weightless sensation being in a pool brings. bakaneko ^^" I can't swim. Besides no one will take me or teach me anyway.. :P Hmm.. I don't.. really see any excercise as being enjoyable.. moo.. I walk everywhere I want to go tho.. but I guess that don't count..
