Oh yeah, I've devised the perfect workout roughtine, though only recently discovered that pushups are WAY more effective if you do them while holding onto weights that you have to keep from rolling side-to-side. Still though, my friends seem as strong as me, and some stronger, and I'm the only one that works out. However, I think that's due largely in part that I'm housebound and can't be on my feet most of the time because of my screwed up back and neck.


The difference is that if you eat healthy you will probably live longer. I read a book that said that many diseases are caused by mineral deficiencies so keep eating those daily vitamins.

I had wierd eye spasms awhile ago and somebody told me it was a potassium deficiencie so I ate some bananas and the spasms went away. I've gotten them a few times and potassium helps.
Hey that's pretty cool you discovered that! Yeah that is definately the main reason I stick to my healthy diet. I fear cancer like the grim reaper and I generally want to avoid disease and live a long life. Oh of all things that are important to me, I want to live as looooooonnng a life as possible.

I wonder if the tramadol and pregabalin I take are shortening my lifespan though. Nothing I can do right now to avoid taking those unfortunately.


its a long term thing

just wait and see who has more prescription meds at 50 years old
Very true that, I just wish I could see some more immediate benefits.

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if there's even a point to nutrition For the past several years, and especially in the past year for me, I've been a total health nut when it comes to nutrition. Every day my diet consists of carrots, spinach, apples, oranges, nectarines, banana's, and peas. About 80% of the food I eat is fruits and vegetables, and the rest is found in carbs (like rice and potatoes) and protein (bacon and eggs). But really, I don't see what difference it makes. My digestion is definately WAY better with all the plants I eat, but that's it. I Rating: 5
