Our health issues

The thought of anyone touching my eyes makes me cringe. Just reading about it is too much for me. Sedation wouldn’t be enough for me for any eye surgery and I can’t even stand it when they check my eye pressure. I hate having air blown in my eyes but that machine is worse even though that give me numbing drops.

I get low sodium or low salt canned vegetables. Frozen lack the taste and texture of even canned. They get mushy when cooked since they are already cooked. I prefer fresh when I can get it.

The One Fruit You Should Eat Every Day, According to Nutritionists

Brain Health Experts Agree That This Is the Absolute Worst Food for Your Mind

Don't like avocado.

Me either. Gosh that’s nasty. Sigh…yet another article saying what I’m supposed to eat. I had enough of being told what to eat as a kid, geez. Now I eat what I want. Mashed avocado looks like green vomit and I think it’s an ingredient in guacamole.

I love avocado 🥑 but I like it with lemon juice and salt. But it’s too expensive to eat everyday. It’s a once in a while treat. Before it became the latest fad it was affordable, now, ehh.

I buy them when I go to the grocery. Love to cut them up in my salads. Also use avacado oil to fry some foods with. I am at the point where I will spend for good quality food & do without other things. Was dealing with anorexia before I moved here & in farm country & good food, I am now healthy so I figure quality foods I like are what my body needs & I make foods I like now with lots of flavor

Health Experts Agree: The One Processed Pantry Food You Have To Stop Having ASAP—It’s Causing Weight Gain!

We use other oils now.

Oh good, I bake with coconut oil only & I fry with olive or avacodo oil. I bake my bacon rather than fry it also. Was healthy without even paying much attention to that

The One Frozen Food Experts Say You Should Stop Eating Because They Cause Weight Gain, Inflammation, And Belly Fat

I stopped eating them many years ago due to the fat content, plus they just don't taste as good as the kind you order on the spot (at Domino's for example) of course! Back then I ate them "just" once a week but in hindsight even that's too often.

Oh, definitely the ones from places like Dominio's are much better--and that's good, it seems.

What Does Vitamin D Do?

Managing the Effects of Arthritis - Stress, Pain, Fatigue, and More

Boy, how I can relate to this one. My foot doctor told me today my feet have arthritis. And, yes, they hurt like heck. I am going to a arthritis doctor now.

Home Remedies for Managing Osteoarthritis

I haven't tried all of these, but they might work,

What are your experiences with arthritis?

I have osteoarthritis -- bones disintegrating. Especially the spine. Painful.

I have that, too, pachy--in that place, too. I have to take opiates to cope (approved by my psychiatrist, who knows pain causes me to get depressed.) It's sure no fun.

Simple Steps to Strengthen Your Bones

At least I'm doing some of these things--liew calcium and Vitamin D. But I also get Prolia shots twice a year. I have progressed from osteporosis to osteopenia.

Here's Why You Shouldn't Drink Coffee on a Cold Day | Reader's Digest

That's interesting!

Do you mean lieu, Trav? I looked up lieu and found it's a Chinese name or it means a type of battle-ax, to kill, to slaughter. I'm sure you don't mean that, lol. This is why I ask people what they mean and they tell me to Google it. You can see the caveat to that......

I get enough Vit D now after taking supplements for years. Low bone density but not osteoporosis. I walk/jog/run on the treadmill 3 times a week for 30 minutes or use other cardio machines like Stairclimbers. Honestly it's a chore and I do it because it's supposed to be good.

Don't drink or smoke.

I just hunt and peck, so my typing results leave something to be desired. It was supposed to be "like," believe it or not!

Study Says Food Dye Red 40 Can Trigger Bowel Problems

Was that the dye that was talked about years earlier?

European countries are miles ahead of us on added dyes and other non food stuff added to food. They have banned a lot of dyes. Their food isn’t as pretty but it’s healthier

I have a bunch of (old) age related health issues now. Shortness of breath, caused by what? Hospital stay plus lots of tests. Death coming up, someday...
