Health

turn a corner. I started making an effort to walk more daily about a year ago. I made some mistakes along the way, buy I am really seeing progress now. I started out a year ago and I couldn't even do 2-3 miles per day. Now I am averaging 4 miles a day. I'm 62 and even though I always looked reasonably fit, I really wasn't doing anything right and it caught up to me.

In the last year I could have done even better, I would try to set records and ruin myself for the next day. But progress is measured by how well you can move the next day. Think about that. But also, movement is essential to our health. I believe the best medicine for your joint issues is going to be concentrating on diet and movement that you can do and do consistently.

Check out the Habit Healers which is where this article is from. Also, I really like Dr. Howard Luk a trail runner and orthopedic surgeon, even more. He can explain exactly how he helps people with joint issues. Also Dr. Chris Miller has some really good information about how issues in the gut can really mess up your immune system and other systems and lead to issues with joints for example.

I recently realized that I was way overdoing it on aspirin. If the gut lining gets irritated or damaged, I believe what Dr. Miller is saying. I have now stopped taking all pain relievers and I feel much better a week and half later.
