Guest Blog: Healthy Cookie


Hi, my name is Cookie and I'd like to blog about healthy living.

Healthy living is different for everybody; for me it's been a combination of proper nutrition and exercise. I do not follow a prescribed diet because once the word 'diet' comes into play it makes me crave everything the diet prohibits. The way I eat comes from my mother, who didn't follow a diet but who didn't cook unhealthily. Again, the diet you follow is particular to you... only you can determine what works for you.

For example, many diets today restrict the use of avocado, but in my experience an avocado a day has not been detrimental.

The key is to do what works for you. To me, a healthy life involves sensible eating habits and moderate exercise work the best. What do you think? What works for you?

  1. Hi Cookie,

    Good blog... I think I'll start eating avocado, not cookies. Everything works for me... cookies, chocolates, cakes... Now my stomach is bulging. (LOS)

  6. I personally love avocado! What also works for me is to drink water! It cleans your body and keeps you alert!

    1. The nutritional value of Avocados is great, but it’s the taste that keeps me coming back for more. Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a "nutrient booster" by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit.
