What’s cookin’ for dinner, good lookin’? 🍽️
In our household, we love switching things up—some nights it’s a cozy curry, other nights it’s a fresh Asian stir-fry, a big Italian-inspired veggie dish, or a hearty salad packed with goodness. We cook at home a lot because it’s healthier, and honestly, nothing beats a homemade meal!
If you’re dealing with a chronic illness like IBS, fibromyalgia, lupus, or any autoimmune condition, what you eat really matters. Here are some simple tips to help support your body:
🌿 Keep it light on fats & animal proteins – Your liver works overtime when you eat heavy fats, meats, dairy, and processed oils. If digestion feels sluggish, bloating happens too often, or energy is low, cutting back on these can make a difference.
🥦 Focus on easy-to-digest, nutrient-packed foods – Leafy greens, fruits, and starchy veggies are all easier on your gut and help your body absorb the nutrients it actually needs.
🍎 More glucose, less stress on your system – Your heart and organs need glucose to function properly. A diet too high in fat can slow down nutrient absorption and thicken your blood, making it harder for your body to work efficiently.
💧 Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate – But remember, if you’re eating a high-fat diet, even drinking lots of water won’t be enough to fully hydrate your body. Keeping fats low helps your body actually use the water you drink!
Eating well doesn’t have to be complicated—just listen to your body, fuel it with the right foods, and give it the chance to heal. 💚
