Palliative Hospice Care

Hospice Care and Palliative Care

We are all concerned about our aging parents. In North America we have hidden the truth about end of life. Palliative Care refers to making a person as comfortable as possible at the end of their life. This includes pain relief medicine and comfortable surroundings. These care methods are not focussed on fixing the disease process but comfort only.

Hospice Care is designed for these comfort measures, and to provide a positive environment for family to say good bye to their dying loved one.

There is a new website with good information about what to expect in a palliative care setting or hospice care setting.

Vegetarian Diet And Weight Loss

Vegetarian Nutrition and Weight Loss What to Expect

You may be thinking of try a vegetarian diet to help in weight loss. From my mid twenties to my early thirties I was mostly (90%) vegetarian. This was because the women I was living with was a strict vegetarian and mostly out of convenience for meal preparation, not any idealistic reasons on my part.

During this time I weighed 135 pounds and I am a 5' 10 male. So quite on the slim side. I was only moderately active at this time. Hiking and camping and canoeing but infrequently. As I got older my weight stayed fairly consitent. This was for me a diet I didn't have to think about. I would buy general staples lentils, beans, potatoes, vegetables, rice, and many more grains and vegetables. I also ate huge quantities of fruit.

There was not really a question of monitoring my portions on this vegetarian diet. I basically ate fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains until I was comfortably full. I did not monitor my amount of protein intake or anything complicated. I simply ate plenty of all of the vegetarian food groups. Simplicity.

I do recommend that if you are looking at vegetarian nutrition that you get a basic idea of where your body nutritional requirements can be found and eat appropriately in those areas. For me me I didn't have to focus on what I was eating I just was varied in my consumption.

I mentioned that I was only 90% vegetarian. Occaisionaly I would eat out in a restaurant and have chicken or fish. Usually not beef or pork. The main thing I want to get across is that I was not a slave to being a vegetarian it simply suited my lifestyle.

So where are things now? Well since my early thirties I have been eating more meat. I eat very little junk food. My nutrition comes mainly from home cooked meals that are standard vegetables plus potatoes plus meat. I now weigh 164 pounds at age 45. A little heavier than I would like. I would like to target about 150 lbs as a comfortable weight.

My lifestyle is a bit more sedentary, so less exercise. I have started incorporating more vegetarian stir frys into my meals and have shed a few pounds. Occaisionaly I will mix some meat into the stir fry, but smaller portions than in a traditional meal.

I do suggest consulting with a professional about vegetarian nutrition as they can look at your particular body type and needs. I have found that eating a non-strict vegetarian diet can help you lose a significant amount of weight. For me this was certainly no starvation diet. As much as I wanted but with a very low meat content worked well.
