Agreed, especially as age creeps up, I walk anywhere between 10-15 miles a day average, went to the gym Tuesday, Upper body and arms were sore Wednesday, legs were fine.
I think I am going to disagree on the climate bit. I think you know that it is the fossil fuels that have done the damage. Cost? Yes meat is more expensive than a doughnut. For most people it is still affordable. In any case, wouldn’t you rather pay more for a steak than you would for a carb loaded meat pie from the supermarket than sacrifice your health?
@oss Have you noticed how cheap eggs are, or ground beef? . The cheaper cuts of meat are often a lot cheaper and a lot healthier. Eggs can be as cheap as 8p each. You can rustle up a tasty omelette for next to nothing. Eating out and takeaways are expensive and so are smart phones which almost everyone in the U.K. has now. Also real food tends to fill you up more so you need to eat less, balancing costs out a bit. This is not just me saying it, it is also the words of a growing number of NHS surgeries. But not everyone is hearing it.
Okay, so bacon sausage and eggs might be more expensive than a bowl of cereal and milk. But how about this side of the cost equation?
I put the question to the PHC. Answers. 1) Our ancient ancestors would of very unlikely have had constipation issues. They ate mostly animal produce from nose to tail including all organs and bones, which includes collagen from joints and gelatinous tissues. Their microbiome would have been adapted to this way of eating, causing no stomach issues. Constipation in modern man is usually a microbiome issue. If someone is switching from a high fibre carb rich diet to one lower in fibre and carbs then the microbiome has to adapt, thus resulting in a period of different stool activity whilst the body adapts. 2) Plenty of fats. The signs are (evidence is) Palaeolithic man ate plenty of animal fat. 3) Added to that , the way we toilet doesn't help with constipation. Or ancestors squatted, which makes the poopchute a direct gravity assisted exit ramp. Sitting on a "civilised Toilet" partially closes the path... For all we think that they are weird, the "hole in the floor and footplates" toilets work way better for our bowels. 4) Any change to diet will result in a change to stools. For some it’ll be diarrhoea, for others constipation. In time the system will settle down to a natural rhythm. It is not unreasonable to say that once the natural rhythm is reached it is that which our forebears enjoyed. In the natural world, animals have a natural way. We’ve long lost
Here is an interesting colonic story @oss https://www.statnews.com/2021/04/16/ketogenic-diet-belief-medical-school-pariah/ I see this guys Tweets quite a lot.
So, when do we think we will be able to go into the pubs as it was before? I hope it will be before Christmas.
You mean inside rather than freezin on the outside Who knows, I'm debating with myself whether the Shrewsbury folk festival will go ahead this year, I don't think I will be able to go to the Philippines before Christmas so I started thinking I should do some stuff in the UK, if the festival is on I might go ahead and buy tickets, it's all outdoor or inside huge tents so it should be safe if there are no new variants circulating and there is a lot of beer at the festival in the form of real ale and my pal Norrie seems to know everyone in CAMRA and the beer trade at the festival It's a great festival Joe Broughton's Folk Ensemble Steeleye Span a couple of years ago
Former MP Tom Watson investigates how much damage sugar is doing to the nation's health, and the potential links between Covid and obesity.
Myself and the wife have an appointment to check eligibility for the new Valneva trial vaccine next week. I'm 41 and received my invitation for the vaccine last week, but was intending to wait until herself was also eligible as did not really want to schlep over to the vaccination centre 4 times in total. If we are accepted, we'll receive either the Valneva or Astra Zeneca and have to attend 6 or 7 check ups over the next 13 months. As an added bonus (which I was unaware of when we signed up), we would each receive £550 upon conclusion of the trial. Link below if anyone is interested. Might still be a few younger members not yet vaccinated. I received the invitation just the next after registering my interest from a 0121 telephone number (for those who routinely reject unknown numbers).
That's excellent, we need this kind of research and it's great that you will be getting a real vaccine either way in this double blind trial. Same technology as one of the Chinese vaccines but their rationale makes sense. There is ongoing research into building a long term universal coronavirus vaccine but this is not it however before a universal vaccine is available we need all the options possible and this seems like a great choice for you and your wife.
I did feel a bit hot in the night. It kept me awake a bit. But the following day only a slight indication in my arm that I had been vaccinated. So all in all problem free after the 2nd jab. I have heard some people say they have been ill for a couple of days after the first AZ jab.
