I’ve Gone from Skinny, Sick and Nearly Dead to Vibrant and Energetic
In my mid-20s I was stuck in bed for six months straight. The doctors had no idea what was wrong with me.
When I finally recovered from whatever it was, I went back to eating junk food and consuming large amounts of alcohol. I had to have a nap before going out on Saturday night. Even with a nap I’d start falling asleep at the nightclub while my friends danced the night away. Nothing made sense.
Joined Airlines has started moving shipments of the immunization, created by Pfizer Inc, to guarantee it tends to be immediately dispersed whenever it is endorsed.
US wellbeing specialists will hold a crisis meeting one week from now to suggest that a Covid immunization anticipating endorsement be offered first to medical services experts and individuals in long haul care offices.
The gathering, declared on Friday by a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisory group on inoculations, recommends that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) might be near approving dispersion of the hotly anticipated prescription, in any event to those considered generally powerless.
In 2015 I had a near-miss with cancer. Again, the doctors had no idea what was going on. The tumor the size of a golf ball lodged in my guts, scared the shit out of me. I decided to choose health and energy.
Now, this wasn’t some desire to eat healthy food and brag about it on Instagram by taking glorious filtered photos of every bowl of food I ate, inspired by Buddha, to make people feel terrible about their own lives.
What I wanted above all else was to have energy again. The kind of energy you have as a kid that allows you to run around the playground for hours as if it’s nothing.
Here’s what I did to go from anorexic, sick, and nearly dead to full of life and energy again.
In 2011, I became incredibly frustrated with life. I’d tried everything to get my energy back and stop the destructive thoughts floating around my head.
The only thing I intuitively did was went for daily walks.
They didn’t help… at first. One night, before I left the startup behind that I loved very much (forever), I grabbed my old school iPod and went for a walk. I started listening to what became the first dose of self-help I’d ever consume.
The walk was supposed to last 30 minutes. I ended up walking late into the night, past midnight. I walked down the main road. I walked down the side of the highway. I was yelling loudly and chanting like the audiobook told me to. People came out of their homes half asleep and told me to shut up. I couldn’t hear them. I kept walking.
Writer, Kaki Okumura, says Japanese people don’t go to the gym and exercise or do super cool CrossFit. They just walk. Walking created a different kind of life-changing magic for me.
Use walks to think.
The three keys to this diet are:
- Natural sugar (honey/dates) instead of refined sugar
- Less salt
- No oil (including Olive Oil)
I originally tried a vegan diet and realized most of my friends that were doing the same were kidding themselves. They’d think they were healthy, and they’d then go and eat a bucket of fried chips with high-fructose tomato sauce from Lord of the Fries and lie to themselves some more. They still felt sick, and many of them remained overweight.
I learned that the food you put into your body creates your energy levels. A whole food plant-based diet allows you to recreate your childlike energy levels.
