I think most about what my food is made of and getting enough protein/carbs/fat to sustain myself. I go for whole foods (rather than food-like-products) and try and consume as few refined and processed foods as possible. My feelings are that my body is stressed out enough, so I don't want to be adding more stress by forcing it to clean toxins I am knowingly ingesting. I am working on eliminating chemicals in my life. I have succesfully done so with my food and I don't use any hygiene products with chemicals except deodorant. Our bodies are bombarded with toxins from the products we put on them (shampoos, lotions, soaps, perfumes, hair products), what we breathe in (pollution, candles, air fresheners, cleaning products) and what we consume. The body is amazing in that it does a pretty good job of detoxifying itself from all of this. Whatever it canot detoxify and eliminate through urine, the body tends to store until it is able to get rid of it. I try and help it out where I can. The antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains help the body out with getting rid of these toxins. There is a documentary on Netflix called "Hungry for Change" that helped me truly understand why refined and proccessed foods are dangerous. I always knew they were bad, I just didn't completely understand the complete answer as to why. I do want to mention I have some food intolerances, but I don't know that they are related to POTS. I don't eat egg, dairy, soy, or gluten. Well before I came down with POTS symptoms, I would frequently look pregnant after eating. I have a picture of my stomach before and after eating some Chinese, and it's qutie amazing! I do feel better when I avoid these foods. However, who wouldn't feel better not being bloated, gassy, and backed up all of the time?
