Word of the Day Challenge

Hey folks, I just have to share this little bit of info I stumbled across this morning on Facebook. Granted, the makers of this video were trying to get us to purchase their (free) supplement for the cost of shipping, of course, but I didn’t buy into all of that.

No, what stood out to me was the fact that as healthy as I am, I am plagued and have been for years by arthritis.

The video I’m about to share told me that in addition to things I did know, like sugar makes arthritis worse, I need to keep the inflammation in my body down, and eating healthy is best as opposed to eating junk. But what I didn’t know that was shared in the video was that even healthy foods and the way I’m cooking them could be to blame. What???

Watch the video and you will see what I discovered. Now I guess I will have to cut more out of my diet than I previously thought (how am I gonna live without my salsa?) and change the way I cook certain foods. That is, only if I don’t want to live with constant pain. How about you?

I don’t like taking pain pills, even OTC kinds. I try for the natural remedies like diet and supplements. I use essential oils and CBD, yet maybe not consistently enough. My recovery from knee surgery is going well, yet I still suffer with pain and swelling, I have got to get a handle on this…or pay the consequences. Do I want a glass of wine occasionally? A margarita (even a skinny one), well I better be resigned to the fact that I will hurt the next day. Is it worth it is what we have to ask ourselves.

Anyway, check out the video and tell me what YOU think. PS-not trying to get you to buy the supplement-I didn’t because I take enough stuff already. I use turmeric, Boswellia, and some of the other active ingredients, albeit, not everything they put together. I may reconsider later, but I’m going to try hard to do better on my own.

Here is the link to the video.
