STOP WHINING PART II

EATING, SUPPLEMENTS, MEDICATIONS, 
ACTIVITY & EXERCISES

WHAT I EAT AND DRINK

 1- I have eliminated all carbohydrates, hydrogenated oils and processed food

2- I eat as much as possible of proteins with at least 3 servings a week of fatty fish such a mackerel, sardines, wild salmon. I avoid tuna, but I always have some cans of tuna in brine if I run short of supply. Fatty fish provides omega 3.

3- I also make omelets for breakfast

4- I eat a mix of vegetables either from frozen that I steam or from plain V8 that I warm up as a soup. Those provide me with vitamins and minerals

5- I eat also strawberries from frozen that I let thaw and add the juice of a lemon

6- I also take pineapple chunks from frozen when I have joints pain (pineapple is as powerful as NSAIDs but without the bad side-effects)

7- I add to my food tabasco, coriander and spirulina

8- And one of my favorite is guacamole to which I add garlic, onions, coriander and spirulina well mixed

9- Obviously, alcohol must be limited because alcohol = sugar

MEDICATIONS I TAKE

Only one: Clopidogrel for my very bad circulation to keep my arteries opened (or what is left of them)

Twice a year I take some acetaminophen (paracetamol) for uncontrolled headaches and very occasionally some anti-inflammatories for back pain

I refuse to take any medications to decrease my pains

I refuse to see a doctor and to have any control whatsoever but that’s me !


ACTIVITY AND EXERCISES

I walk in my house as often as I can. I have measured my walking and found it to be 1 mile a day. Never seat more than an hour.

When the weather is good I walk on a path with a foldable tripod to seat when necessary (quite often due to the pain) and if not, I walk in a heated pool and at the gym on an elliptical cycle. I try to add about 2 miles a day. 

I never go down the stairs to protect my knees.

I swim at least 3 times a week.

At the gym, in between seating after walking, I train my core muscles with weights.
