Sorry it's been a few days. Hope you all had a great and healthy weekend. This mom had an an interesting one. I came down with the flu for the second time in about 4 weeks. Talk about frustrating.
Having a baby takes a lot out of you. It wears down our bodies natural defenses to fight off viruses. Plus I've been on augmentin which kills all good bacteria. So pretty much my body didn't stand a chance against any virus. But thank goodness for being so healthy I am able to fight these viruses off. Personally it has seemed I spend weeks doing all the right things, getting my new life as a mom figured out and over come one sickness to encounter another a week later. It can be so discouraging.
My doctor says it takes the body a full year to recover from birth. As much as people feel I should not be working out because they think that's what gets me sick, it's actually the complete opposite. Working out is great for the body and a great way to help build up your immune system. If you read up on it you will come across many articles that say healthy diet and exercise are great for your immune system. Do I agree with people that my immune system is down why of course, but what also needs to be taken into consideration is I am not only working out Im a full time mom,wife, and have a full time job. This girls plate is full! So my resolution to this problem is: take everyone's concern into consideration listen to advice carefully but most of all I will continue listening to my body. After my 2 week break from the gym I have felt better than ever I just happen to be one of the lucky ones who caught the flu twice.
So now that I can eat again back to my daily shot of Wheatgrass. I know many of you probably think "GROSS" but maybe if I let you know some of the benefits it may change your mind. To start wheatgrass is the best source of living chlorophyll you can get. Chlorophyll is so beneficial to our bodies the list can go on forever, but just to throw a few out there it neutralizes toxins, purifies our liver, and improves our blood sugar. Now here's just a few benefits of wheatgrass the list is almost endless. And just from experience this stuff truly helps not only do I feel great but I swear it helps with joint pain and inflammation as well. It is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice or other vegetable fruit juices. Helps store energy its especially good for athletes because it is a juice it is assimilated within 20 min or less. It contains a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. It cures acne, acts as a detergent for our bodies, helps sore throats, eczema and psoriasis and also great for arthritis. I know a shot of "grass" sounds disgusting but it truly does not taste bad. So next time you have a few extra minutes stop and try one and the way I enjoy mine is I take my shot then suck an orange slice as a chaser. So yummy!! Hope you enjoy!
