One of the saddest events of my adult life was the loss of my Dad when I was 20. He was 49. My dad had health issues all of his life, including one major issue that I have inherited. Thankfully, the specialist told me that I will live a long, healthy life with no complications from this disease. But, still, my thoughts often stray to my Dad. I don’t want my kids to live their adult lives without me. Yes, I know that God knows the number of our days…but, still, I want to do everything I can to be as healthy as possible.
For me, that includes regular exercise and a healthy diet. So, I started making changes to our diet, bit by bit, over the past several years.
