HealthResolution of asthma with whole food plant based diet
I am curious if any of you other plant based ladies have had a similar experience. I went vegan about 5 years ago mostly for ethical reasons. Since a young age I have had asthma that has required management with steroids and puts me in the ED every few years. Additionally, I’ve always been very susceptible to pneumonia and have had pneumonia every 2-5 years since I was a baby. This has 100% changed since I went vegan. I have weaned off my inhalers, haven’t been to the ED and have not had a single round of pneumonia since my diet changed. I’ve had a handful of slip ups where I’ve had cheese or butter and consistently start coughing and have just felt more mucus-y. I never expected this benefit to being vegan but you can bet I’d never go back given how it’s changed my life for the better.
Otherwise, I’ve just felt like I’ve had more energy and endurance. I am such a fan I genuinely encourage anyone who asks me about it to try it out. Any of you had similar resolution of chronic respiratory disease from changing your diet?
Amazing!! I'm learning crochet and want to make a squirrel as well ❤️
Crochet is so fun and relaxing! Maybe a little frustrating when just starting out but it's so rewarding to make stuff. I love it. But make sure you take care of your wrists, I'm starting to get some carpal tunnel symptoms.
Make sure to post your finished projects!
I've been crocheting for only a week and a half, but I am absolutely in loooove with it!! All my other hobbies and games are on hold for now because I want to be able to make dolls of my favorite characters 🤣 And yes, it's so rewarding to see your project come to life before your very eyes! It makes me want to learn sewing one day so I can make plushies with minky fabric. Also yeah, I am worried about getting carpal tunnel, not from crochet but from my crappy desk job. What are your symptoms?
It might take a little bit to get to making your favorite characters but it's definitely worth working at it until you can.
I mostly get numbness but lately I've had very minor pain and discomfort in my hands, wrists and fingers. It's probably also from holding my switch and steam deck for too long at a time. So I've gotta take a bit of a break from doing almost all of my favorite things lol
Oh for sure haha. At least all the online tutorials are awesome, I can now make a little chibi doll!
And I hope your symptoms go away. I definitely know how you feel, I love drawing, gaming, and crocheting. All hand and wrist intensive. Are you being sure to take breaks and stretch your wrist, etc?
Yeah I'm getting better with it. Just gotta take a few days off and hopefully it'll feel better.
