It's surprisingly easy to get *enough* exercise to
"make a difference". The MD's will always clamor for
"more" -- regardless of how much you do. But, even
a little has a *big* impact on flexibility, attitude,
balance, strength, etc.
I've loaned "workout videos" to friends and, for those
who actually took the time to *try* them (instead of
setting them on top of the exercise equipment that they
DUST, regularly) have universally seen some improvements
in their "quality of life".
Stay active (physically and mentally) as long as possible
in order to be ABLE to stay active *for* as long as possible!
and eat a well balance diet, with lots of vegetables
I "discovered" jicama upon moving to the southwest. It's
"weird", to say the least! But, I find myself *wanting*
it in an ever broader range of meals. It has a nice texture
and a pleasant taste that makes it a good companion for
many dishes. I'm not sure it does much (nutritionally)
for my system -- but is probably a good source of fiber
(and general variety!).
easy on the meat
My downfall. :
Meat has never been a main dish in my family. Meat is served as a treat.
We tend to eat more wild fish, organic poultry. Never eat white
bread. Never drink milk, never indulge in sweets, never drink ice cold
water, no salt shaker on the table. I just made a round between 5
specialists. They say I am in good shape. Annual routine for transplant
patients. Only change is, suggested to get a pair of glasses for
driving. Good eating needs good digestion. I eat well, sleep well,
eliminate well no issues with this basic 3 things.
