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.

Every night we are really stiff and sore- and the next morning we are really still stiff and sore. I figured because we do hard word nearly every day, all this post work soreness would eventually go away as our muscles got used to the work- nope... still full of aches and pains.

I said all that to ask this. Are there a lot of people here who can relate to all of these aches and pains? Does Everything Hurt after you exert yourself?

Thanks!

Sounds like a rhetorical question.
