Healthy living

Ever since we found out that Omar is hypertensive due to high cholesterol and cannot take medications to lower down his cholesterol due to his fatty liver, we are always on the look out on the right food for us.

Omar's should be diet consists of - oatmeal for breakfast, grilled fish without salt for lunch, and steamed vegetables without salt for dinner. We also learned how to read nutritional labels of foods. Salty and fatty foods are a big no no.

But these foods are not always available. Sometimes, we have to bend down some rules and eat what is available. We just have to choose the lesser evil among the selections. This applies during occasions.

We are not fully knowledgeable on the proper diet for his case, good thing we have regular check-ups with his doctor. Internet is a big help too. I discovered this site which gives us know hows on better caring. They have care options, news and views, and testimonials from other readers and you can share your own too. They also offer nursing home, be it residential or at their place. You can be assured that your loved ones are in good hands.

It's nice to have options and choices. Now we can add other varieties to his meals.
