How I Manage My Acid Reflux

If you live with Acid Reflux like I do, and it has disrupted your life in so many ways. Causing you to lose sleep because your stomach is not settled and you need to stay up to avoid reflux.  You can no longer enjoy certain foods because it can trigger an attack of Acid Reflux and heart burn. The worst part about Acid Reflux is the heart burn and trying to figure out how to stop it and provide some relief and comfort to your burning chest and throat. 

Well if you are like me and need some tips and tricks just keep reading. 

Acid Reflux is a condition that can be managed through dietary changes and medication for some of us. The other option is surgery for those who prefer to go that route. Surgery is always a last option for me to consider if I have a choice in the matter. But, if I can manage through making some sort of change I am open to it. Plus dietary change is usually a good thing it benefits me in other ways. 

Understanding Others

Since my last health challenge, taking care of myself has become a top priority. I made this decision so I can help my body to heal, get strong and stay healthy.  For me it meant making sacrifices for the good. Making adjustments to my current lifestyle was not easy, I had to take it one day at a time. 

 As you know unlearning certain habits that took years to develop and building good ones is a journey that takes, commitment, patience and discipline. But my Faith in God and my will to survivor gave me the strength I needed to adapt and take the necessary steps to make changes.

My Yearly Mammogram

Yesterday was my yearly Mammogram, 18 years ago God healed me from Breast Cancer. Every year since then I get a mammogram and an ultra sound. In the past, as the months went by and December approached it was not an easy time for me. As the time got closer, I could feel myself starting to slowly move from a place of peace and protection to worry, fear and negative thinking. 

Free From Fear

 

I use to be a prisoner to FEAR, allowing my thoughts and mindset to hold me back. I was constantly in a fearful mindset of "What If's''. I would over think the simplest things, finding ways to talk myself out of giving something a try or just doing it and seeing if it works. 

I believe in God and have had other health issues that I have had to go through and he was there for me, he provided resources, he comforted me,  gave me peace through the journey and I made it through. Experiencing all of this I still allowed myself to be held in bondage by fear. 

The Necessaire Body Products - Hits and Misses

I first saw the Necessaire products when my daughter started using them. After talking to her about the products, checking out the ingredients and the benefits noted on their website.  It peaked my interest so now I wanted to try them, but the price point was a little steep for my pockets. 

So for the holidays Necessaire was promoting a 5pc gift set so I hinted to my daughter about it. She surprised me during the holidays and gifted me with the set.
