New Health Challenges, New Diet Changes-Veganism and Fibromyalgia
Dear Friends,
Over the last few months, I've shared how much my health impacted my writing endeavors and just life in general. Fighting fibromyalgia is HARD like final boss level difficult and you don't have the right weapon. Add on migraines and the other stuff that comes along with the disease you can feel defeated. I've even mentioned these struggles in my latest novel Community Garden.
For many years, I've discussed how much I love animals, whether they have scales, fur, feathers, or even an exoskeleton! This week, I tried veganism and I cannot believe the difference I feel: less chronic pain from fibromyalgia, more energy and better endurance. I've also updated my fibro medicine to help with the pain, but having this new plant-based mindset is game changing.
I also watched the documentary on Netflix called "You Are What You Eat." Please give it a chance. The "farming" industry is absolutely disgusting, and even if you're vegetarian, those animal products like eggs (avian flu anyone?) or milk (yay for GERD/inflammatory diseases) still cause suffering.
Veganism is NOT tasteless or gross! In fact, let me introduce you to Krimsey Lilleth author of the Vegan Cajun Cookbook. This book has changed my perspective about what we can do with plant-based ingredients! And there are SO MANY vegan cookbooks out there! <3
This year, try a different approach to healthy, clean, and delicious eating!
Love Kai <3
