I have been using Livestrong.com, along with a related mobile app on my phone, to keep track of my diet and exercise. I know roughly how many calories go in, and I know roughly how many calories get burned, so I can intelligently keep track of these things.
As you all surely must know, the number one thing you can do to improve your health, without medications, is to improve your diet and exercise. By improving your baseline, you will see other benefits, such as a decrease in the effect of your side effects. The healthier you are, the better your overall condition is going to be.
So, one way to do this is with the free services at www.livestrong.com. They will give you the tools you need to track what you eat and how you exercise, so you can improve your bottom line. Just knowing the data will help you make more informed choices.
There are also a ton of articles about ways to stay healthy. Unlike some other sites, it is a not-for-profit effort, so you won't be asked to buy anything you don't want.
You can enter your data about food and fitness in any web browser, and if you have an Android, iPhone, or even just an iTouch device, you can also enter all this data on the go. It takes a few seconds to do, and it will make all the difference in your health, and in your life.
Join me in a healthier lifestyle. Try the tools at www.livestrong.com today.
PS: The article referenced above is all about avoiding processed sugars to reduce the risk of diabetes. it is also a good read, since every patient with vasculitis is also at high risk for diabetes. I encourage you to read the article, and perhaps look for the book, Sugar Nation, when it comes to a library near you. Highly informative stuff.
