Food & your health

ok,,, so,,, i know this may open a big can of worms so i ask that we don`t all get to hot-headed here if you want to enter into this disscussion then """Be Cool""" ok? no one needs to have any particular diet or life-style shoved down their throat (pun intended) Cool & no one wants to have an argument either right??? so,,, with that out of the way i`m hoping we can all find something useful here , if it`s food you want to chat about then cool-> some facts would be good. if it`s a health issue then cool, & again , some facts would be good if it`s just an exercise program you`d like to share , then that`s excellent too it all goes hand-in-hand in my books i know of plenty of web-sites sprooking all sorts of magic potions, diets & exercise programs... lets here about your own hardships & results as they may be becoming or have become (or havn`t so far) I`ll start --> After suffering major liver dramas early in my life (nearly died at 18 & again at 19 because of it), i then went onto an eating program that seemed to be pretty good for me & went hard with karate & A-grade fixtures squash & racing motocross & car racing & water ski-ing & mountain bike racing & working for my dad 12 hours a day & sat included & racing speedway & & & & ,,, & yeah i ended up burning myself out & nearly Karcked it again i never really had a problem with weight tho,,, i was always sooper-dooper hyperactive & i just moved way too fast & way too much (i suspect) for the fat to settle anywhere in my body years later (after just wandering through all sorts of eating programs & diets not really understanding much of anything because it all seemed to be mostly contradictory) i then experienced this series of massive heart attacks (7 months aga) & yeah they killed me a few times So, hence i`ve been chasing up all sorts of foods diets, lifestyles & health & exercise issues that it literally drove me "Matty" ,,, ok so the word was meant to be "Batty" ,,, same-same Smile So,,, """Immediately"""" after die-ing a few times from the heart attacks, i pushed straight into a Vegan type diet, full of berrys & cherrys & nuts & grains & vegies & , basically no animal products at all,,, & i did that for a couple of months... & when i went into hospital for my my 2nd stent to be fitted into my heart, we found that i`d reduced the plaque build-up & also softened it (funny enough almost killing me again i might add) but it seemed a really good thing at the time & the docs were actually astounded (shocked to be more precise) so i stuck with that diet for another couple of months so it all "seemed" good, reducing the plaque in my arteries & softening it all up & melting it away was a really good thing,,, so i thought However,,, the whole way along i couldn`t get rid of my Gout problem & the arthritice in all other parts of my body was just giving me huge grief, like full-on!!! constant pain, & hard to move, didn`t feel like doing anything, very hard to get motivated, difficult doing any exercise, REALLY HARD!!! & i`m not one for being a slouch with exercise , Damn i love the stuff!!! But it was just horrible lagging feeling & also started putting on weight,,, HEAPS!!! The Vegan type """Dr Mcdougal diet""", that i was (sort-of) following, just wasn`t as happy a thing that i first thought.... the """30bananas a day .com""" thing was also not very do-able for me either & it seemed to keep the pain of the arthritice at a maximum constant & still putting weight on ... So, after many more "tests" (my mum used to "test" me for food allergies years ago & found that both bread & milk didn`t really like me at all) So i tried the same sort of "Tests" over the last 3 months. So... now i`m here---> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/ & after only one month, i`ve got heaps of energy (compared to what i had) , I`ve also started loosing weight (quite a lot in a very short period of time),,, i now don`t have any Gout pain or any other arthritic type pains anywhere else,,, i have even stopped taking the Coldgout & Allipurinol pills that were "needed" (said the Docs),,, & i simply "feel" heaps better... way more active than before & i even have this horrible coul/flu that i`ve had for about 2 months & it`s starting to break now too What do you guys think??? Who of you lot are well educated in all food/health related things ??? & Who of you are interested enough to join this highly controversial conversation??? anyone tried anything "Out of the box" that works for you? here we go yeah??? add your bit (if you dare) please???

Water is awesome

I get picked on at work, and the guys say things like 'what are you eating that for, you don't need to lose weight'

I just reply 'Ummm I am this weight because I eat this food'

That is while I eat wholemeal sandwich with salad or tuna and drinking water, and they eat dim sims and drink coke

haha dim sims and coke ! 😂

are they dead yet 🤪

Had a warm bowl of my partner's pumpkin soup today 👍.

Healthy food doesn't have to mean bad, plain or boring 😎

Slow cookers rock this time of year.
