Healthy is a lifestyle, growing up on a farm extremely active I was always thin and lean.
Continued that way till mental problems and behavioral meds caused my weight to go up and my health take a nosedive. At my heaviest about 270 lbs. I was at the church walked out to cemetery and back to the car on a hot 100 degree day and noticed my breathing was labored. It shocked me this was the fellow that could work all day walking surveying lines cutting bushes in 90 degrees and not stop. Shortly thereafter I decided to check my sugar and it was high I proceeded to cut the white stuff and eat brown, I heard a teaching about fat and diabetes so I cut the fat too, and my weight went down about 20 lbs and my A1c dropped two numbers from 7 something to 5 something, I soon went vegan for a couple of years and lost 10 more, about two years ago at about 253, after reaching out to some doctors who were health minded but getting no help about weight loss on behavioral meds, I took the initiative. You can see what happened on the Weight Loss tab of this website. I went from 253 made the declaration at 250 and then went to 188.5. At that weight I decided to stop losing and maintain, along came a hernia and the resolving of that and the convalescence I gained about 15 lbs back. Its still a comfortable weight at about 203.5 this morning I plan to try to stay at or about 200.
My exercise is walking and something I really need to do is add some weight training at 65 to maintain muscle mass. Its much easier to lose or maintain weight with good muscle to fat ratio. Muscle burns calories.
Let me say other than some books on healthy lifestyle and reading articles on the internet I basically just adopted a healthy lifestyle and eating habits. I am on two meds my thyroid med and behavioral med. My blood pressure fluctuates and some recent science says that a higher number for older adults is ok. They also are saying that fat is not necessarily a bad thing but there is disagreement about that.
What they are saying that's alarming is that statins deprive the brain of necessary cholesterol and results in early onset of dementia or Alzheimer's. You also can find doctors who say olive oil is bad for you something that shocked Benny Hinn so you have to be careful who you listen to and depend on the Holy Spirit to guide you and other aspects of God to ferret out the truth. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. God bless agape more later.
