While it is critical to provide information about healthful habits, lists of “what you did to get that chronic illness” can be used to promote the idea that individuals with chronic illnesses brought these on themselves.
The truth is that most people who develop autoimmune and or chronic illnesses do so because of the effect of Epigenetics. In other words, each of us inherits genes may make us more or less likely to develop a disease or disorder, but that likelihood is most strongly influenced by factors in your environment (in and outside your body).

Key points: Fat folks are fat far more as a result of how their genetics told their body to deal with intake or exercise ….they haven’t simply chosen the “wrong” lifestyle. The same is true for people with chronic headaches, hypertension, arthritis and so on. Healthy lifestyle choices are important, but let’s make certain not to label folks with a chronic illness as people who should have eaten better or lived differently. Lifestyle shaming can be a just another form of fat shaming.

And for those of us who lack a fat-free bottom- as we know, if the skinny jeans [or genes] don’t fit, they don’t fit. Better to embrace and learn about who you are and how to make your genetics work for you.

I’m a vegetarian who is intolerant to dairy ( also got coeliacs) I do eat organic eggs.
It would be impossible for me to eat meat or fish as the thought revolts me.
I have thought about it several times for the sake of my health, but the thought revolts me so much ,that I I would probably be sick.
Also I can’t imagine that eating something that goes totally against your conscious would be Good for .
Any advise.

I hope I can ask a couple question here.

What can I do to stop ringing in the ears? I find it gets worse when a weather system is moving in.

Also.
I have hypertension. In the daytime I am fine but after dark it gets harder to control. Is there a reason for this and a way to gain control?

Thank you for the information on your site. I like the information and use some of the information from the articles and get good results.
