Hi everyone,
After your diagnosis what lifestyle changes did you make? Anything unique that you feel helped?
I, like many, changed my diet. I started with the DASH diet and implemented some from new things from the WHOLE 360 diet and now am consuming a blend, but still focus on limiting saturated fats and bad cholesterol.
I also slowly completely quit smoking, which was not easy but I never smoked a whole bunch, but still quitting was not easy. I still drink sparingly, but much less than before.
I also started engaging in physical activity. I am now up to an hour 4 times a week!
Also one unique thing I think helped and that I did was began to enjoy relaxing time with my family and not focus on work stress or taking work home.
Would love to hear form you!
