I really don't wonder how to become a dietitian , because I enjoy working with computers a little more, but I do have a preference for more natural remedies for illness and health.
My upbringing has quite a bit to do with it: my mom also believes in teaching the body how to heal and defend itself. Yes, we did take medication when it was absolutely necessary, but for the most part, me and my family have been more pro-natural remedies like tea, lemon, herbs and correct supplementation.

Every day, I take my multi-vitamin, red krill oil, kelp, vitamin c, glucosamine sulfate and chromium picolinate. Along with my morning vitamin routine, I make myself an easy alkaline drink (previously discussed on this blog) and take it after my breakfast, usually just some oatmeal with cinnamon and almond milk.
Throughout the day I drink plenty of water and at night another alkaline drink to settle some ingested acid food I've eaten that day.
I'm against the flu shot.
Why? because I prefer to teach my body to defend itself and gain more strength against disease by itself.
Did you know the flu shot changes to adapt to every strain of the currently mutated virus?
With the shot, you're actually injected with a strain of these viruses teaching your body to defend itself only to these very narrow selection of viruses.
Viruses mutate too quickly and your body is more exposed to other strains every day.
What I suggest is taking plenty of vitamin C every winter or flu season.
At least the recommended dose or even a little more often when you feel like your health is being compromised.
Other many benefits of vitamin C can be found here.
These are just a few of my personal natural cures and my own personal routine. On the next blog section, I'll be talking about some of my favorite vitamins and minerals for optimum health.
