nutrition – My Inspired Fibro Life

February is Cancer Prevention Month

Between 30-50% of cancers are considered preventable.

Having lost both of my parents to cancer, my father in 2019 and my mother in 2021, learning to prevent cancer is a much better path than having to fight it.

According to the American Cancer Society, a little over 1.9 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the US in 2022.

During this Black History Month it is also noteworthy that more black women die from breast cancer than any other cancer.

According to the World Health Organization, between 30-50% of cancers are considered preventable by avoiding certain risk factors. Let that sink in…up to half are preventable.

5 Steps to a Better Smoothie

Not all smoothies are created equal.

It’s no secret that I think smoothies are the perfect way to start your day off right. Done right, they are healthy and taste great. I believe that good nutrition is key to staving off the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia, so I enjoy a smoothie almost daily for breakfast (and sometimes lunch).

Nutrition and Fibromyalgia

We’re all just given one body to get us through life, so take care of it.

Did you know that:

An unhealthy diet contributes to almost 680,000 deaths in the U. S. each year?
Fewer than 1 in 10 people eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables?
An estimated $147 billion is spent annually on health care for obesity?

Staggering statistics to say the least.

If you’ve read my blog in the past, you know I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years now and I prefer a holistic approach over taking prescription medications to cope with my condition.

March is National Nutrition Month here in the U.S., designed to help people make informed choices on what to eat, and build better habits for eating right and moving more. We’re all given just one body to get us through this life, so it’s best we take care of it the best we can. As such, I thought I would just link up some of my favorite and most popular posts on nutrition, supplements, exercise, and building habits, that enable me to live a life without pain medication.
