Over 50's Health Tips

[Bill Walker]

Careful with the weight lifting if you're older, I started it and gave myself Costocondritis.
It's fucking painful. Like a heart attack. It's gonna take months to resolve itself.
Walking is great and swimming.
10k steps a day.
I've also felt better not eating meat. Still eat fish though.

Don`t eat sugar and don`t carbs that turn into sugar.
Try to cut out as much processed food as humanly possible.

Watch Robert Lustig The Truth about sugar on youtube.

I have Steroid induced Diabetes and Rheumatiod Arthritis, the later for 9 months which was getting worse. I`ve even had to give up golf and going the the match because of the pains. I have been trying my best to follow the advice give on this youtube clip for a week and definitely feel better.

If you have diabetes or Arthritis please try and follow the advice for your own sakes Blues. PM me the improvement I am sure you will have.

Good man, trying to help others even though you're obviously struggling yourself.
I have type 2 diabetes and am trying to control my sugar levels. I try to be sensible with my diet but I do have lapses!
One thing I have cut down on is food with a lot of salt in it. I seldom eat crisp type snacks and I do feel better for it.
Good luck with improving your general health.

Get a recumbent bike… I retired at 56 at the start of lockdown.. I do 34 miles on weekdays and I’ve dropped 3 1/2 stone since I gave up work

Feel great and the recumbent means that I can relax and take in my surroundings.. no butt pain, no back pain, no wrist pain, no neck pain… I wish I’d bought one sooner

Don't smoke
Don't drink alcohol to excess
Maintain a predominantly plant-based diet
Walk regularly don't overdo exercise. Gyms are a waste of money.
Get plenty of good sleep.
Spend as much time as possible with your loved ones.

My diet is awful, I just eat rubbish, going to have a go at the Mediterranean Diet.

"Eileen" out of Coronation Street has lost several stone after following this diet.

Yeah absolutely.
I find walking is the best. You get fresh air and there's plenty to look at. Makes you feel invigorated.

Swimming I find gets boring. But it's great exercise.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Stay active but in a productive way. Get your garden in order, wash your car and clean your house. Go for a walk around your community and pick up litter as you go.
If you have elderly neighbours do some chores for them.
Give the money you save by not joining a gym to a local good cause

Thanks Grasslands.

Lots of things I’m trying to cut out.
Potato of any kind
Pasta
Pastry
Rice
Bread
Biscuits
Chocolate
Sweets
Alcohol
Processed foods
I’m succeeding cut out most, all of the time and the rest, most of the time.

In a week I’ve notice a big benefit. I hope others do too and I hope I get even better.
