Not built on sand

Building a strong foundation and keeping strong!

There has been so much going on about food and cooking and what you should eat and what not. The problem is that the advice changes every 5 minutes, or at least it feels like that. 

One day coconut oil is good for you, the next you hear is that you should not eat it at all because it is sooo bad for the heart. It is the same with butter, milk and whole grain. I do not know what to eat anymore to be healthy and I was actually thinking that I abandon all advice and just eat what I like. So is that really possible? Do I have the answer to all off the food questions? Can I really survive on cake and mince pies? Let me tell you that I really got fed up after a while and I was craving fruit and salad. I do not know if that is the answer for everybody because everybody is different. The amount of fat my husband can eat would send my liver into shock and me living close to the loo.

Lets face it: Food is important. You are made out of what you eat (but my husband is far from being fat). Where do all the building materials for bone and muscle come from? How do you maintain good health and strong bones? Well, by the stuff you eat. 

So is it really possible to just eat what you like when you like it? Would your body make you eat fish if your body need it? Or sprouts? Should we let children choose what they want to eat? Would they eat the stuff they need to grow or just live on sweets? 

When I was young I actually knew a child who didn't want to eat sweets. Whenever she had some money she would buy pickled beetroot or tomato paste and we would sit in the play ground and she would suck the paste out of the tube and would offer me a suck, which I declined.

We are all different, our metabolism work in different ways and I always found what I didn't like, didn't do me any good. When my father told me to drink milk I didn't get strong teeth, I got diarrhoea. Maybe there is a message there. We are all different and that is the reason why we like different things and need an individual medicine as well.

That might well be the reason why I go for Homoeopathy.

I like that!
