My Health Regime January 2021


January 2021 

Largely as the result of yours/ Zoe’s/ Geneviève’s stuff and the series of Longevity videos I have just started doing some extra exercises with a Hungarian personal trainer. 

Added to this I have started to take quite a few supplements including one called 8Greens and another called Bionor Immunity Boost alongside daily blueberries. 

As you know I always cook everything from scratch and don’t buy ready made food (except for the occasional pizza and frozen chips!). 

I don’t of course notice any difference in my polymyalgia and I might still need to use steroids to get rid of it, but I am trying to reduce inflammation as much as I can while doing more regular daily exercise.

    I think that in addition to the stevia and xylitol that Maple syrup is also a good choice for a sweetener.

  Inflammation: what it is, why it’s bad and how to reduce it. PART 2 Hi, Herry, last week we looked at the cause of most pains and health problems: Inflammation. We covered signs of inflammation and how to test for it.  Let’s carry on and see how we can keep it under control. How to reduce inflammation in the body Dr Will Cole (a functional medicine practitioner) says, in his brilliant book  The Inflammation Spectrum , ‘Studies estimate that 77% of inflammation reactions are determined by factors over which we have at least some control - our diets, our stress levels, and our exposures to pollutants, with the remainder determined by genetics.’ This is BIG! It means that there is so much we can do ourselves that directly affects the way we look, feel and ultimately live the rest of lives.  Here are a few tips on how we can control the inflammation fire that can build up inside our bodies:  FOCUS ON Diet – ‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food’ - Hip...
