Recently I've had discussions on a couple of posts about food tolerances and intolerances. These days we're becoming much more aware of how healthy what we're eating is. We have foods we never had or that were never really available on the scale they are today. Last century government advisors came up with a food pyramid to guide people on their food choices, but recently the advice there is being questioned as we learn more about how different foods affect us.
It's not uncommon to see stories about people who have healed chronic illness with a particular diet and lots of scientific evidence is surfacing to explain why those diets work. However, often a fanaticism can end up surrounding that diet, with claims that this is the one that everyone should be following. Whether it's vegetarian, ketogenic, paleo, vegan, raw vegan, high protein, high carb, high fat or something else, the science can back each one, but they don't often take into account that each of us is different. So what might be healthy for one could be nigh on impossible to digest for another.
So for the next two weeks our challenge asks you to share with us:
What is your healthy eating pyramid?
Don't worry, you don't literally need to make a food pyramid, unless you want to.
We'd love to learn about what your diet/lifestyle is and why you chose it, whether certain foods that most consider healthy or unhealthy are actually the opposite for you, whether you healed chronic illness through a change of diet or anything else we may not have considered before. You could even write about a diet you've tried that was terribly unsuccessful, or a criticism of an approach that might be dangerous for our health. It's up to you - the theme is simply 'healthy food pyramid'.

Me encanta este reto. Ciertamente tengo mi propia dieta. Gracias por la etiqueta.
La cuestión son los 100 Lotus... Oriéntame por favor. 💖🤣
Buenísimo! Los Lotus son tokens que ganas usando esa etiqueta o publicando en la Comunidad de @naturalmedicine, debes revisar en HiveEngine si tienes disponible, si no puedes adquirirlos a través de esa misma plataforma. Es una forma de darle apoyo a la Comunidad para que siga desarrollando todos los proyectos que se promueven todas las semanas 🤗
Revisaré. Gracias 🙏🏼💖

What's my Diet and Lifestyle - @NaturalMedicine Healthy Eating Challenge
Do Reese cups and diet coke count? LOL just kidding. I used to be a vegan. My daughter has tons of food allergies and she has ulcerative colitis. Eating vegan always made her feel better and I wanted to support her so I ate that way as well. I won't participate this time but I do look forward to seeing what others share! ❤️
Lol! If you can survive on them, then you must be superwoman!
Glad your daughter was able to find a diet to help her with those allergies. Food can be such a minefield for some. Can live with it, can't live without it...
I AM superwoman but I don't survive just on those but that would be a cool superpower Reese Woman 😂
Oh she definitely found the diet that helps her now if she'd just stick to do it and not give into the Starbucks temptations (she works there).
