As a matter of fact I keep my windows open all year round, even in the winter.<br /><br />Years ago, I had read how TOXIC air can be in closed spaces ... EVEN IN YOUR OWN HOME.<br /><br />Plus my mom was a fresh air freak! Grandmother too. I guess it is the European way. I like that.<br /><br />Thanks for pointing out Tara's SHOWERSIZE.... too fun.<br /><br />And I would also like to say I just LOVE your positive attitude, bright smile, and sense of humor.<br /><br /><br />Have a WONDERFUL weekend...

I've always been a believer in the...@ Teresa .. I've always been a believer in the old houses with wooden windows and doors are healthier for you - but if you can open the news ones that will be wonderful! Insulating our houses is not necessarily in my eyes healthier .. it blocks up all air holes - but I can understand people wanting to stay warmer.<br /><br />@ Elizabeth - pollen sufferers really can't open the windows can they .. and that temperature .. <br /><br />Adapt as we can .. at least you can do the processed foods stop.<br /><br />@ Patricia - there are lots of participants .. I must get round a few more today ..<br /><br />@ Lynn - a good walk always does us much good doesn't it .. well done for the food change <br /><br />@ Sandie .. I know asthma and allergy sufferers do struggle .. a difficult one ..<br /><br />@ Inger - yes serious illness does bring us down with a bump .. but that walk with the dogs makes a world of difference .. and stretching and exercise all help so much. At least diabetes is manageable now ... to a point as I know you cope, but it's not easy.<br /><br />I think everyone's been enjoying this bloghop .. <br /><br />@ Al - you also need to help yourself so much with your illness - good for you .. and so pleased the water drinking is improving .. I think of you coping.<br /><br />@ Maggie - thanks so much .. I'm not much good with awards either .. but really grateful you've given me one .. I love learning about Brazil ..<br /><br />Cheers to you all - enjoy Friday, nearly the weekend .. and we might get some sun ... after the coldest Spring for a long time .. average of 6 degC!

For me it is that I must both exercise and eat right. I never ate junk food, but I didn't eat anywhere near as healthy food as I do now. Having dogs that need to go for walks has also helped me greatly.
