Health

I'm a health nut and I truly love snacking on nuts too.  I use organic food when I can and when it's affordable.  I try to exercise but I have to admit that of late, I've been very lazy. 

I love talking here because I can share some of my knowledge with you.  It's my desire to stay healthy and to do that I must take care of my body and watch what I eat.  I do have health concerns just like the average person.  I try to help myself by taking my multivitamins and eating the right foods.  I have given up dairy because I know that it produces mucous in the body.  I drink instead an almond milk that agrees well with my body.  It been several years now since I started drinking this particular brand of milk.  It comes in a vanilla flavour that I really love having with my muesli cereal most mornings. 

Sugar is an additive that I resist as much as possible.  I like to use honey as it's a more natural sweetener.  Therefore honey goes in my green tea and anything that I need a little sweeter taste for. 

It just so happens that every time that I eat something such as a candy bar for example, my body reacts within an hour with acne on my face.  This is my sign from my body that I needed to bypass that sugary treat that I ingested.  My body is extremely sensitive to artificial sweeteners.

I know it's important for all of us to eat the best foods possible to enable us to stay in the best of health.  After all, we all want to live a long life.

Surveys

I do surveys.  I like doing surveys some of the time.  It's a personal choice. The site that I find really cool and avant garde is Hotspex.  I like the site because the surveys are very interesting and fun too.  The design of the surveys and the questions that they ask are usually easy to answer. 

On the downside, the rewards for doing the surveys is usually entry into a sweep stake or you can donate to charities and a few other selections.  I love the idea of donations going to charities for clean water, homelessness etc.  I just believe that you should be able to receive the money and use it as you wish.

The thing about surveys is that these companies want your information but they don't want to pay much for your time.  Each survey takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes and sometimes longer.  Granted there are those who will do it as a business so the integrity of it could be at risk.

There are many survey sites on the internet and choosing legitimate ones is the key to a good experience.
