Below is a picture of a list of my ailments…then and now…
I am convinced that ALL were due to my high inflammatory, high carb meal plan combined with a sedentary lifestyle.
“I often refer to my old self as a sedentary ‘carbage’ disposal … ”
Since those days, specifically since my date of diagnosis 2/15/09, I have reduced my inflammatory (high carb) meal plan and I exercise almost daily. The ONLY ailment that has not been ELIMINATED is lower back issues. The low back flare ups have definitely decreased in severity and frequency but they still do occur. Typically only when I play basketball but I am NOT going to stop playing basketball voluntarily any time soon. :)
“They will have to pry the basketball from my cold, dead hands…. “
