If there's one thing you would want to change or improve about your health......
If there's one thing you would want to change or improve about your health, what would it be?
This is a serious question with no motive other than just plain curiosity. Seeing this question as part of my promo materials in re: Goji Juice.... made me curious... it got me :thinking: ... that is all. :)
I thought it would make for an interesting topic of discussion. :)
Okay.. it doesn't have to be "one" thing.. if you have multiple things..
This might also make for a good thread to post any problems.. so we can all help each other come up with solutions... :thinking: :)

What an interesting question that should cause some great discussion!!
As for me? The one thing I would want to change to improve my health would be to not have a mental illness!!!! It is the most frustrating, debilitating, and sometimes dangerous thing. That's definitely something I wish there was a "MAGIC WAND" for:-[

I would like to undo whatever damage 5 years of smoking cigarettes may have done.

I want to quit smoking. It's day 4 right now. I'm getting cranky >:(

I'd like to improve my eyesight, and my posture. I don't have scoliosis or anything, but for some reason I have the hardest time trying to stand up straight.

PS: if anyone knows a few way's to correct bad posture please share.

Have you tried Pilates ? What about seeing a physio or even a chiropractor ?
Pilates is what helps me with my back as well as help with my posture. If I didn't have it.. I would have back problems indeed!
Ah... that would be it.. the one thing I would like to change about my health is the general wear n tear that is caused by wearing stilettos. My left ankle is sometimes sore now.

I would like to turn back the clock on my ephedra use. During my birthday dinner last year (whilst turning 23) with my best friend, I suffered a minor heart attack due to the long term use of ephedra products. I wish I had never grown addicted to them (though I haven't "used" since that night).

I have seen a chiropractor for my posture. He pretty much just took my money, then did nothing besides crack my back. A few doctors I've spoken to in the club agree that chiropractors are full of shit. I'll try that pilates thing. I need to get in better shape anyway. Also healthwise, I'd like to be more stable with my moods. I know I just switched birth controll and all, but I find myself being not at all interested when my boyfriend touches me. With the other stuff, I couldn't get enough.

I would like to be able to eat right and workout regularly on a consistent basis. I go up and down with eating at home, working out every morning, drinking water-- all the good stuff. Then I get bored and start eating fast food, skipping workouts and not drinking enough water. I'm tired of the yoyo.

My eyesight.....
I wear contacts and I am -7 in each eye. Without my contacts, I can only see about an arm's length in front of me.
I am looking into the lasik procedure...

Re: If there's one thing you would want to change or improve about your health......
I would like to quit somking and drinking soda.. Since i have Sickle Cell Anemia it's very bad for me. I did stop somking when i was pregnant, but soon started again after i had the baby because of the stress of being a new mother.:(

Re: If there's one thing you would want to change or improve about your health......
damn -7?!! i thought my eyes were bad at -3.50 in each eye!!
i know how you feel...to an extent i guess.
also looking into lasik.
i think id change my eyesight,and my feet...i want smaller feet ( there aint NO surgery that will fix these size 10-11 monsters!)
-
Re: If there's one thing you would want to change or improve about your health......
lol, I want smaller feet too! Kind of...they don't bug me normally, but it IS embarassing to have size 10 feet anywhere that is not heavily Nordic...I got laughed out of a shoe store in Brussels >:(
I would die in Asia! I actually had this thought that I would buy shoes when I got to Hong Kong...then my mum was like "uh, they weon't have your size". My poor Norwegian mummy has size 12!

Yeah, my eyes are -7.5 I think, and I RARELY meet anyone else whose eyes are as bad. It's good to know you're out there, Vaden!
Mermaid, I think -3.5 is a little worse than an average contacts wearer. No matter what your eyesight is, contacts are a pain.

Yep, i'm here.......:magnify:

Re: If there's one thing you would want to change or improve about your health......
I am just curious how feet are related to health (and I'm not talking about reflexology here).... the question was in regards to health not actual body parts that you aren't happy with.... health people.. LOL!!! :) :)

Re: If there's one thing you would want to change or improve about your health......
I have bad circulation- my feet and hands are usually cold. Also I'm trying to improive my posture.
-
Re: If there's one thing you would want to change or improve about your health......
I also have pretty bad circulation. I am in pretty good health, though I am hypoglycemic, so I would want a better working pancreas! I also wouldn't mind better working kidneys-I had a horrid kidney infection over the summer and ended up in the hospital. I always worry they might freak out again.
I did look at your Goji juice Gcgirl-sounds interesting, though I tend to be a cynic about new things. I like that it's not full of sugar-I switched to straight cranberry juice (one of my health secrets-now!), because most blends are FULL of sugar.

I PM-ed my reply to you... I didn't want to interrupt this thread with an advertisement (or what would seem like such). ;)
