Watch Dr Jason Fung's videos on YouTube regarding low sugar diet and intermittent fasting.

Not a bad idea. Fasting will recharge your batteries and make you feel younger. I seem to have a propensity for it. I stop eating around 3pm every day, and eat nothing until 7am breakfast the following morning. That’s a daily 16-hour fast which gives the body time to digest and cleanse. I also do a five-day fast a few times a year. Helps me fight the battle of the bulge.
I also take Turmeric/Curcumin capsules daily, which I believe are a more natural and less toxic way to relieve one’s arthritis (than NSAIDs).
Age 70, play tennis three times a week, golf twice, square dancing one or two nights, cycle and walk often. Feeling great (knock on wood).
Favorite Henny Youngman Joke:
Doc: I want you to give up smoking, drinking and sex.
Patient: If I do that doc, will I live longer?
Doc: No, but it will seem like that.
