In reply to Michelle. The Vitamin D/magnesium and getting out in the sun will help a lot, Michelle. Sorry to hear about the surgery and your recovery.

I need to try some of these! I had neck/spinal surgery at the end of last year and my immune system has struggled ever since. I can’t wait for the warmer weather because I think that is going to help. I do eat healthy, but I can always improve.

In reply to Joi. Joi, it's so good to hear from you! I know what you mean about the blogging circle. I'm slowly getting back into the groove. You're right about the professional making the worst patient. And welcome to the kale club! It is a staple for me (either kale or spinach) and the taste does grow on you. Hugs, Ali!

Alison!!! I followed back when you launched everything. The blogging circle is so far and in-between for me these days. I’m finally getting a chance to comment and the new site is simply beautiful and quite refreshing. I love what you are doing here!

I am supposed to take Vit D, but I am stubborn, lol! The professional always makes the worse client/patient! The easiest one of these to implement for me is stepping outside the box and trying something new. I had no idea what lychee was but thanks for sharing. I just recently cooked a dish with kale. Would you believe I just tasted kale for the first time in the last few months? It taste pretty good to me and I plan on trying more new things I adapt to cooking more! So good to have you back! Love ya!

In reply to Novelette Morton. Definitely check on the vitamin D and magnesium levels; they do make a big difference. By the way, I'm home; I hope you got my message!

Hi Alison

I really liked this article as it gives us pointers as to how we can maintain our health. I shall continue to drink lots of water and eat lots of veggies. I have never been tested for magnesium levels or Vitamin D – perhaps that is something I should ask my doctor about.

I enjoy your blogs so do keep writing.

Sounds like an excellent start, Dana! You’re getting the necessary protein and fiber to get you going (in more ways than one) for the day. Great!

I need to get my magnesium and Vitamin D levels checked – on my list to do! I’ve started drinking smoothies for breakfast, and I throw in spinach in addition to the protein powder that also has greens. I’m not a huge veggie eater, so starting the day with some is a win for me.

In reply to ceil. Hi Ceil! Glad to hear that you are on top of your magnesium and Vitamin D levels. They are so important to our health. You're right re: the effect of our food on our well-being. So often we take our wellness for granted and really mess up re: our food choices!

Hi Alison! I have taken prescription Vitamin D in the past for a low count, now I take OTC Vitamin D. I had no idea how low my levels were! I also take Magnesium daily.
I think what we eat has a huge effect on our sense of well-being and alertness. I loved the photo you have here of all the vibrant natural foods. Looks so good 🙂
Welcome back, and thanks for visiting too!
