My mom is very into organic food and vitamins. The only problem is, is that she'll be a gym rat for awhile then she'll stop and eat junky organic food. My MIL is losing a ton of weight out of nowhere which is concerning. FIL and his wife are extremely unhealthy. They only eat junk food and they both have type two diabetes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-297004 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:26:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 297004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, both sets of parents (my parents and in laws) are extremely health conscious. All are very trim/slim and no one drinks or smokes. We don't really have any health issues in the family either...hopefully the healthy genes are passed down to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296877 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 21:00:29 +0000 Bookish 296877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are pretty healthy, but my ILs are very much not. Both of my ILs smoke a pack a day and drink like fishes. They are the same age as my parents (late 50s/early 60s) but they look about 10-15 years older than them. We just got a phone call last night about another health problem for my MIL. I wish they would take better care of themselves!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296822 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:56:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 296822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my parents are healthy and MIL is very healthy after a breast cancer scare. My FIL struggles wit diet but my MIL keeps it on track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296820 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:54:03 +0000 anonysquire 296820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad developed a heart condition when he last visited Mexico so he can't donate blood. That is the only thing wrong with them. But both my parents run like 5+ miles 5 days a week. Very active and very healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296754 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:31:26 +0000 mediagirl 296754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're pretty good at it. Dad exercises and eats better than mom but mom does well. His parents are in good shape. They exercise almost daily and eat very healthy and small quantities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296749 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:26:33 +0000 DillonLion 296749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in the same way I would and it is very, very frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296734 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:04:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 296734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom exercises every morning. She's also been juicing for the past few months. I don't think she gets enough calcium though, and she often forgets to take vitamins and supplements. Even though she's healthy and looks fit, she doesn't eat a balanced diet and often forgets to eat when she's too busy. </p> <p>MIL and FIL have a less hectic lifestyle, they eat healthier and enjoy gardening, but they don't look as fit as my mom, although they're probably healthier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296712 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:37:19 +0000 Andrea 296712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both sets of parents are very good about taking care of themselves. Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296711 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:35:04 +0000 chopsuey 296711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are health conscious. We have a "farm" up in the mountains and they have hundreds of fruit trees, a green house.. Chickens. Lots of true organic eating!<br /> My dad planted dozens of trees and veggies and fruits at home too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296704 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:29:47 +0000 mamabird 296704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad does and mom tries to, but cant manage to lose weight. My mil does, but my fil has diabetes and tries to deny it sometimes so he can eat terribly, this adds to his being overweight as well. I want them to be around for a long time so its hard to see them not take care of themselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-take-good-care-of-their-health#post-296689 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:56:34 +0000 autumnlove 296689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dad has kidney issues and he sticks to a very strict diet and exercise. My MIL has type 2 diabetes and doesn't take care of herself at all. She stubbornly refuses to take her pills, watch her diet and monitor her blood sugar...this frustrates DH and my BIL sooo much! </p>
