I strongly believe that our diet is the root of our health. If we don't have a good, balanced diet, our health will suffer. I challenge you to try this for one week! Check out sparkpeople.com (no affiliation, just a happy user) and log everything you eat for a few days. It's free and easy to use. It will show you how much fat, cholesterol, sodium, and a long list of vitamins that you are getting. This is also a handy tool if you're supposed to be limiting something in your diet.

After you've done this, look at the things you are consistently low on. For me it's calcium, potassium and Vitamin D. Either find foods higher in the stuff you're missing or get a supplement to make up the difference. When I do this consistently, I find that I rarely catch a cold, I sleep better, I don't feel as run down as easily. See if it works for you, too!
