Mending? Sorry I left out that surgery was 5 years ago in June.
Doing fine but arthritis in knees has killed my running days....hate biking and swimming, not sure what to do for cardio other than fast walking - but sure miss my running.......
Not sure about wheat, except processed.....processed anything isn’t good........
Oh wow! 5 years. Congrats on that...but sorry to hear about the arthritis. That is very hard.
You seem quite informed on healthful information, so I imagine you already use natural supplements to support your body with the challenges you have. I’m thinking in particular that everyone, especially heart and arthritis patients, should be sure to have adequate omega 3S. I have also heard that apple pectin is somehow very helpful for arthritis.
Wheat is a poser. I know that probably I should do away with it altogether, but so far I have found that in miniscule amounts, my body can tolerate the occasional indiscretion. Generally for my morning cereal, I use rolled barley, quinoa, bran, flax, and chia seeds. Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of rolled spelt or oats. Pour hot water, flavor with a 1/4 banana, stevia, and cinnamon, and let it steep for about 15 minutes. Yum.
I agree that processed anything should be used with caution. I guess the ancients had it right: moderation in all things.
