How I finally figured out what being healthy really means
By Sharon Paine
I’d like to think I lead a fairly healthy lifestyle. It’s taken a lot of trial and error. I’ve had to find a level of acceptance and compassion.
I’m not a doctor or an expert, I’m just a woman pushing 40 who wants to live a long, healthy and happy life.
Over the last two decades, I’ve tried various diets. I don’t subscribe to any specific way of eating now, but I’ve learnt a lot.
I was vegetarian for five years in my 20’s. While my eating habits were not completely healthy (I ate a lot of spinach and feta pizzas), I did learn that I’m content not to eat meat every day.
