HW 18 - Health & Illness & Feasting

So my Thanksgiving experience Health wise was honestly just as unhealthy as just as everybody else's. An excess amount of carbohydrates from the biscuits and mash potatoes and stuffing. The massive amounts of tryptophan from the turkey that knocks you out into the biggest food coma all year round. So my family pretty much loves to embrace the holiday spirit of unhealthy eating habits of the traditional Thanksgiving rituals. But besides the feasting the immediate health of my was overall good because everyone seems to have lost weight and just overall seemed in a better mood. As well I feel the good mood was attributed to my little nephew whom had his first Thanksgiving at only a the first few months of his life. I believe that because of Leo my family got along a lot better then they use to have, specifically the in law side of my family through my sisters husband, he brings our families together in a better way for us to get along.

Illness during my Thanksgiving Experience really didn't have a threshold at all on my family. The only person whom is really sick in my family is my aunt whom had a small form of cancer but is successfully beating it and my grand father on my mothers side whom is fighting breathing problems and a bad knee from complications of smoking and old age. But since my grand mother and grand father don't get along well they go to separate parts of my families Thanksgivings. This year my grandfather went to my other aunts Thanks giving feast rather than ours and my grand mother went to ours. Of course we love our sick family members but we know now that at the moment they are in good conditions so we really don't stress heavily over their possibility of dying because it is highly unlikely.
