Kale....

Seems like everyone says that kale is good for you.  Same for spinach, bananas and a host of other foods.  But are those foods good for YOU?

Yesterday I went to my nephrologist and found out my potassium is high. Here I had been eating "good for you foods" but in the process it was negatively affecting other areas of my body.  So for the moment, no bananas, oranges, dried fruits.  Bummer!!

Really knowing all the ins and outs of your condition is important because people will tell you that all sorts of things are good for you.  It's up to you to critically* analyze if their truth is your truth or not.  Good for you could hurt you.  

So how do you know the good from the bad for you?    Ask.  Ask yourself, ask others, query online from reliable sources.

• Is this true for me?
• How do I feel about this information?
• Is there an alternative?
• Why is the the latest and greatest?
• Who is recommending?  
• Do  trust this person (with my health?)
• How can this information help me?

As always, it is up to you to advocate for your health and well being.  Proceed cautiously.

To your most peaceful and well self!


*Critically - intentional attention to what is being said.
