My story when I was trapped in health basics
My name is Eric Johnson, and I live in the US. I used to be very active in my teenage years, but as I grew older, I started losing my health. At the beginning of my career, I used to cater goods for hotels, but as I cracked the food industry, I opened my bakery shop. It was very profitable because I served my customers what they needed the most, THE TASTE.
I have two sons, both are very cute, but not as active as I used to be. My wife always supported my career.
It was 43 when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes
My mom was shocked when she saw my reports. It was kind of obvious for her to believe because both of my parents have Type 2 Diabetes. MY father died because of this, and I know it was overconsumption, or you could say the bad effect of metformin.
It was hilarious for me when the top of the prescription started telling me the story of my father. It was the first medicine in my father’s daily dose.
God! It was again the same story.
Why I started calculating my health expenses
The medication alone was so expensive, crossing 300$ every month. My family was fond of eating junk food, and I was involved in this crime. For me, enjoying life meant eating anything someone wanted. Sooner, this perception becomes an enemy to me.
My wife was overweight, and now both my sons have started looking the same as their mother.
I was ignoring the game in which I was trapped. Once alone, my wife’s treatment crossed 5000$; thanks to God, insurance saved me a bit here. My sons started falling sick at a regular interval. My diabetes increased my anxiety.
Now my perception started changing about food, because I was not sure where I was making mistakes.
Ordering junk was the daily task before my sickness. It was a kind of burden on my pocket. My Health Expenses reached the moon.
When I started calculating my Health Expenses, I was shocked twice.
Now I was sure something was happening to me and my family, which is absolutely wrong.
I started my health journey- reversed my type 2 diabetes
I met a nutritionist expert group on Instagram. Now on call, I was sure that they were experts, and the way they explained everything was a stopper for me. With them, I was able to reverse my diabetes and am now able to live my life to full potential.
The mistake I was making and where I worked on
a) As I told you, I am a bakery owner, so I used to carry cakes and muffins almost every day, which they liked the most, and me too. Pizza and a burger were also a part of this. I stopped simple sugar-based carbs because all these products contain a lot of sugar, which is a hidden enemy.
b) Not only I, we, the whole family, rejected the junk food. The overweight condition of my family forced me to make a hard decision. Junk food was the real junk.
c) I used to think that exercise is just needed when you need a muscular body. But I was wrong, lifting weights was a game-changer for me.
d) Eating 6-7 times a day was a mess for my body. It was a pressure on my gut health, where everything happens. Our 90% immune system resides only in our Gut. So I started fasting often and only eat max 3 meals a day.
On a simple note- Health is wealth
If I can do anyone can do this. It required a bit of dedication and consistency. I was impressed by The Ayurveda. It is not only an ancient treatment method but also very close to the nature.
What I saved, I enjoy
I save more than 1500$ every month because we don’t eat junk. I eat healthy and have also started cooking delicious foods. Overall, all disease belongs to your habits; otherwise human body has the capacity to heal.
