I’m so mad because we can start bringing stuff to the new house tomorrow. And today is a nice day for walking but I can barely move without getting winded. So no walk for me today.
I don’t think it warrants that at this point. I have felt like this before so I’m not too concerned right now. I did have my yearly cardiac physical a few months ago. If I start to feel worse I will definitely call for advice.
And some people (like me) are thin, yet still don't have a thigh gap. Most of my weight is in my thighs.
I've just thought: could you make cabbage juice and drink a good quantity of it in one day? It's like a "magic pill", and i do it in "cases of emergency", e.g. when i had been eating too much "dry" food and too little "wet" food, and my blocky carcass started showing off (like, it aches here and there, everything's wrong, COPD is worse than usual, joints ache, guts misbehave, gastritis is back, etc., etc.)...- then i just make cabbage juice (i mean, pure juice, without anything,- no water, no other juices added, just a huge cabbage head, turned into a medium mason jar of juice). I drink it in one sip. If i'm lucky to have 2 cabbage heads,- then i have 2 jars of juice and drink the 2nd one 6-7 hrs after the 1st one. In a nutshell, after that, i feel like someone has kicked me in the @ss, and i can run again, like an "electric broom". I realize that such quantities of pure cabbage juice are not for everyone, because pure cabbage juice is quite... weird and freaky in taste. But it's worth it: it tastes like pure Sulforaphane (nothing like cabbage, when you eat its leaves). Anyway, it helps me, when i caught cold, when i'm exhausted, when head aches, when i have stomach issues, ...and i feel sad that i can't make it now, because it's very hard for mom to drag cabbage heads from the market, and i prefer devouring cabbage, as i'm trying to be frugal. But even a "raw cabbage-based diet" has helped me a week ago, when i was feeling very poorly, and i thought i needed to do something. If you own a juice maker, you could try... Sorry for my usual demagoguery,- i've devoured too much cabbage and farro for lunch and i'm digesting, so my brains aren't moving.
I've noticed this weird change either! As a rule, my condition depends on my stomach's (and then - guts') behaviour. Within the last few years, i've been dependent on Pancreatine (a.k.a. pills for digestion), because i'm like a boa constrictor: the food that i eat is hardly digested, because of my super low stomach acidity, plus i never feel hungry, and i eat just because it's time and because i know that "it's time". But now that i'm working from home, and i don't have to be in a hurry in order to get up, do my morning routine, leave the house, get on a "route taxi", a subway train, another bus, get to work, withstand the whole day, and then get back home, having bought something to eat... now my inner rhythms have changed, and my blocky carcass feels relaxed, as it doesn't feel a threat anymore. This is an oxymoron: the real threat is here, outside the house, it's everywhere, but my brain feels like i'm on vacations,- therefore it gives my stomach "good vibes". I don't need any pills for digestion anymore! Meanwhile, i'm not completely raw, therefore autolysis is not the case (not always, at least), but now i'm able to eat more. Also, i feel less bloated, and i almost don't take my Simeticone pills (against bloating)! Miracles...The weird thing with me I've been starting to notice is how "normal" I've been feeling lately. For several years, I've suffered from low back pain and I've tried everything I can think of to relieve it (accupuncture, yoga, chiropractor, orthodics, core work, etc…), with no long-term success. But now, ever since we've been on the stay at home order, my back has been good. I couldn't tell you the last time I took a tylenol or advil for the pain.
The one thing that is different is that I've really upped my vitamins, beyond just my senior multi. I ready early on that vitamin C, zinc and D could help possibly fight viruses, so I added those. I also added a B12 supplement and a folate. And I added omega 3s, glucosamine and turmeric. All vegan versions.
Do I feel better because I'm doing far less, getting a lot of sleep or because of the vitamins?
Anyway, i'm contented. My long evening walks help my digestion a lot too (i feel it). I've been dreaming about it (the improvements) for many years, and it's happening now!
Yes, exactly.
I have done this quiz before. I'm in between a mesomorph and endomorph. I'm never going to be really thin, unless I starved myself. I wouldn't even want to be anyway. I like being curvy.
