Healthy Eating Ideas in times of Covid-19 coronavirus

Takeaway food and lack of exercise combined is the American curse exported to the rest of the world.

Alcohol also I never drink, rarely eat takeaway, and exercise often, I walked 22 kilometers the other day,always feel good afterwards.

yep--good innit.

i'm too lazy and fat to exercise. but i'm nice and healthy since i gave up smoking.
apart from COPD.
and CHD
and borderline diabetic.
and an alcoholic.

Apart from that, are you healthy?

yep--fine. survived a heart attack 25 years ago. just pacing myself now.

The Instant Pot is the best gadget I use in the kitchen, surpassing even the Vitamix blender and the Actify no-oil chip fryer.
There are so many YouTube videos giving ideas on what to cook in it.

That’s what I thought happened to me. But then I hadn’t heard of insulin resistance. Our bodies cannot cope with the level of carbohydrates we consume now.

Sadly that is only half the story.

I don’t think I posted this though I had meant to. It’s a short training module for GPs issued by the Royal College of General Practioners. The idea is that they add it to the or existing training acquired during the student medical degree where nutrional intervention and nutrition is mostly absent.

Many GPs are completing the module and implementing the prescribing of dietary intervention. And, as I have posted have been producing positive results. However as one GP said to me a few months back, “patients don’t listen” (which I thought was a bit unfair as not all patients are like that) so it only works where the patient takes a positive stance on dietary change.

This also applies to those that have “arrived”at their metabolically challenged destination but are yet to be diagnosed or those who haven’t quite “qualified” diagnostically, so that amounts to a massive percentage of the population when totted up.

Did a decent walk yesterday, I really want to do a few 60km walks this summer

i went on a diabetes awareness course lasting some 6 months in 2019-2020, being referred by my surgery nurse following an annual blood test showing i was borderline diabetic. i had no idea i was. i have changed my diet to reduce carbs--and simply less food. i still drink too much. i think these higher animal fat diets will produce more problems than they solve.

Exactly the opposite. The animal fats do the complete opposite. Get Oss to run through the New Scientist article with you, that I posted. The evidence is rife now.

“The puzzling thing is, those warnings don’t seem to square with findings from clinical trials, generally a better kind of medical evidence than population studies. Several have now shown that low-carb diets generally don’t raise the levels of “bad cholesterol”, long seen as a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Even in people who do see a rise, other markers of heart health usually improve.”

It is puzzling to many. But for those that eat this way it is no puzzle whatsoever.

My sisters husband has lymphoedema, pancreatitis, is diabetic, smokes, drinks, eats junk food, takeaways etc, couldn't even spell exercise never mind partake in any, and has a life expectancy of 8 more years

i think--for me--the answer is less of it . and a balanced diet. i dont like fish--hate bones. i am a meat eater--mainly chicken, pork / bacon and steak. rarely lamb.
i dont eat fruit--simply cant be bothered with it..but do eat most veg. ive cut down on bread spuds pasta and rice.
i simply dont burn enough calories..i'm a couch potato.

if i get 8 more years i wont complain. the last thing i want is to end up sitting around in a care home with a pretty young carer wiping my backside.
oh--hang on...

He is in his mid 40's
