Phillistines the lot of you!!!
I went to the physiotherapist on Thursday morning,he gave me some more exercises to improve my flexibility and wellbeing and in the afternoon I spent half an hour with the dietician who gave me information on how my diet can reduce my hypertension and if I can achieve that I may be able to reduce the medication I'm presently on.
My wife and have been on fat,salt and sugar reduced diets since she was first diagnosed with heart problems in '95,having since had two triple by-pass operations.We do occasionally indulge in "taboo" foods but I can honestly say I feel a lot healthier than I did 13 years ago when I was pensioned off for health reasons;we are both ex-smokers,the wife 13years and myself 23 years and all the better for it. Maybe it is a genetic thing because despite his life style plus his heart condition before he was 50,my father lived to within two weeks of his 80th,I have two sisters in their 80s,two in their 70s and the rest of us(5) are in our 60s,so out of ten children brought up in the '30s,40s and '50s survive but probably one the reasons for that would be,despite the privations of the time we ate mainly fresh food whereas today lots of people are eating packaged or fast food and that is what the experts including my dietician,trying to warn us about,and tomorrow we,my wife and I,are going to the markets to buy some fresh fruit and veges and hopefully a nice piece of fresh fish,not quite sure what 'til I get there,then on to the grog shop for a nice bottle of white,Australian of course.
