Last week I started the Ways 2 Go Healthy Blog located at: http://Ways2GoHealthy.blogspot.com. I am a person who tries to live healthy and who has a family history of heart disease and cancer. I am 36 years old and was diagnosed with high blood pressure years ago. So not only am I constantly looking for green and eco-friendly habits and information, I also am doing the same for all things healthy. I have been doing this "healthy" research for years and I thought it was high time to start a blog about what I find.
A few years ago I started going to a doctor. I am now on blood pressure medication as well as taking an omega-3 fatty acid pill, a multivitamin and a baby aspirin everyday, as prescribed by my doctor. This may sound like a lot to take everyday, but it's due to the fact that I have a bad family history with heart disease. My dad and his two brothers all died of heart attacks before the age of 65. My medication is playing defense. My offense is that I am also eating well and exercising. Of course, we all could do better.
Anyway, I have done a massive amount of research on nutrition, fitness and general health. I'm always reading the latest and greatest news in magazines and online. I thought I would share my findings in this health blog. I'm searching nearly everyday for knowledge that will help me on my way to a better and healthier life.
You can probably guess how I chose the name Ways2GoHealthy. I like the name anyway, but I also thought the name would make a good "sister" blog to the Ways2GoGreen website and blog. My hope is that we all learn a lot here and over there. To your health.
