Energise Blog: Natural Health & Alkaline Diet

A hat-tip of brobdingnagian proportions to Joanne Hay at Nourished.com.au for starting The Nourishing Meme.

The basic idea of a meme is that it is a list of questions (often five, apparently) that is proposed by someone and passed on to at least five other people, whilst linkin’/trackbackin’ to the originator. The aim is to stimulate conversation and provide linkages between people (and blogs) and to generally grow a community.

As anyone who reads this blog regularly will know - this kinda thing fits in with my blog goals superbly.

So, without any further chitter-chatter - here are the questions:

1. What is the most nourishing thing you frequently do for your self?
2. For your health, what will you never compromise on?
3. Where do you get most of your health information?
4. What single whole food or supplement has turned your health around the most?
5. What is your favourite natural therapy?

And here are my answers:

1. Go for a 5-10k run and follow it up with a fresh green veggie juice. It makes your day 1000% better
2. Eating fresh vegetables at least three times per day
3. Apart from here (heh) - the blogs I consult daily are Diet Blog and Mercola although I also check Technorati and Digg throughout the day too for news and views. Aside from blogs - I tend to use the BBC, Reuters, Mayo Clinic, WebMD and then finally community sites like Lime, and forums like the Tony Robbins forum, Healthy Pages - and of course I am learning LOADS from the members of our own forum! Oh and then books of course - I try to read at least one health book per week to stay fresh. Sorry - I’ll stop there. I’m an information junkie.
4. Without a doubt - Udo’s Choice. It has given me so much more energy, improved my digestion, cleared up my skin and helped me grow some muscles! But don’t forget the healing power of hydration.
5. Chillin’ on Cremorne Point and watching the boats!

OK - so who would I most like to see answer this? Well, Jim Foster has already done so and he would have been on my list for sure. So - can the following bloggers please stand up:

• Run FatAss Run!
• Amyella
• Fat Bitch!
• Diet Girl
• and definitely Karen at Raw Food Coach - go on!

I would love to see responses from all of you guys!

Again - this all originated with Joanne at Nourished - so head on over there, say hi and then start the process on your own blog (and don’t forget to pass it on!)

Edit :: I forgot to say - the greatest thing about this is that it made me aware of five blogs that I did not know existed before and I have added them all to my bloglines. Thanks Joanne!
