Here are the top things I would have done differently:
1. Soda pop. I would not have drank soda pop -- except maybe an occasional dessert like root beer floats. I cringe when I think of all the 64 oz fountain sodas I used to get at the mini marts. I also regret the time in my early 20s when I switched to diet pop. For a few years there I was drinking a 2L of diet pop every two days!
2. Sugar consumption. Totally. I didn't get much sugar at home (we had dessert maybe a couple times per week, especially on Sunday nights). But whenever I went to a party or a friends house, we gorged ourselves with candy. Halloween? I could eat my whole pillowcase full of candy in one sitting. Same with Easter candy and Christmas candy. I could have 3 HUGE pieces of cake and still crave more. If I could go back I would severely limit my sugar consumption.
3. Relax more. To this day I do not know how to relax completely. I wish I could have learned this skill as a child and carried it into my adulthood. I would have gotten so much more rejuvenating sleep. Now, as it stands, I am so sleep deprived that I am considering resorting to sleeping pills.
I do not eat sugar now, nor do I drink soda pop. I am grain free as well. But I don't think I would have changed the grains as a kid. I never went overboard on breads and pastas to begin with so it was easy to remove them from my diet as an adult.
I think it would have been nice to have my detox foot pads back then, to see what gunk I would have been able to pull out.
Please tell me the top 3 things you would have changed in your childhood, regarding your health, if you could go back in time!
