Feeling Better

fish apple tree asked:


I will be living off campus and have a full kitchen with a stove, microwave, steam cooker, and a toaster oven. I have been a vegetarian for 2 years now but I am worried that when I go to college I won’t have as much time or money to cook and eat healthy. So what are some easy, healthy, and tasty vegetarian meals and snacks?

I have also never had to grocery shop for myself before, so any tips for that would be great.

I noticed that there are a lot of birth control methods that allow you to have a cycle when you want too. Isn’t the monthly cycle the body’s way of cleansing itself of bacteria and other germs? How healthy is this to a females body ?

I have been on birth control for nearly 2 years. I have been skipping the placebo week for over a year now. Instead, I just start a new pack immediately, so I am always on the pill and don’t have periods.

My friends always ask me if that’s healthy or not. From what I know, the extra estrogen you take in birth control increases my risk of breast cancer. However, by not having periods, I am decreasing my risk of cervical cancer. Am I correct on this?

Also, I have told at least 3 doctors that I do this, and have not had a single one tell me that it is unhealthy to do so. Is this healthy to do for an extended length of time?

Thanks for your answers

Around november of last year, i switched over from a disgusting junk food thriving, soda drinking, chain smoking living habit to a cleaner more exercise and healthy eating habit. Before i switched, i got sick maybe once a year. Ever since i changed things, I’ve caught several colds, and a very mild case of strep. Basically what i’m asking is can a healthier diet put you at risk for sickness or common viruses?
