How my daily diet bit me in the bud
May 25, 2010
Yes it did! It was in October last year that my doctor got my blood tested, just a routine thing she said.
Well the results told a different story. My Iron and Vitamin B12 levels were very low. I got some pills subscribed to bring them up again. No info, nothing. So what you do in times like these? You use a search engine as if you’ve never done it before. And I got scared, pretty scared. Anaemia was one of them. Now I got worried.
So I had to change my diet. Quickly. Lists got printed off and brains picked about what to prepare…oh dear.
The attempt to eat more healthy/fat free resulted in me not eating the things I should have done. No wonder I was tired and crappy the whole time. So out went the low-fat-healthy-for-you-wannabebutter and in came the realy deal with the whole milk as it’s partner. And god it was good! I forgot how good whole milk tasted like. And butter!!!! Why did I rejected you for sooo long. Will you ever forgive me?
It all worked out in the end. The new blood results showed that it all really was/is just diet related. Hooray.
So from now on it is salads with lemon juice (helps the body to absorb the iron and B12), fish, which I need to get used to, and beef!!! And even though the doc said, spread the butter thinly and have everything in moderation, what if I get hid by a car tomorrow? My last thought shall not be: I wish I had more butter on that slice of bread.
