You may not be exactly thrilled with what you cannot do, but that house sure shows what you can do, & do well, in a relatively short period of time. I've actually been told by my doctor that I may be causing a certain health problem I have by drinking too much water. When I tried drinking less water, I felt thirsty & dry. Sometimes every single health solution appears to be counter to some other health issue.2023https://www.blogger.com/profile/06090347339729432098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-61227813253626477552016-11-13T19:22:39.914-05:002016-11-13T19:22:39.914-05:00The one thing I would advise is to make sure you a...The one thing I would advise is to make sure you are hydrating. <br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-16917313556165854662016-11-13T13:40:34.456-05:002016-11-13T13:40:34.456-05:00Informative stuff, Jack!

Then, darn if he didn't divulge that he's been experiencing muscle deterioration, too. <br />The things which spring to light with the slightest prompt! I made him promise to bring that up at his next appointment.Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-55409303960088410772016-11-13T10:32:38.815-05:002016-11-13T10:32:38.815-05:00We drink Tonic Water.

If we wake with a charlie horse in our legs, drink one, best chilled. In less than 5 min., the cramp is gone. works for us. Bill's diabetic nurse gave him this advise. He also was on a statin drug that he also chose to stop. Mama always said they were no good for ya and Mama's word is usually pretty ' on point.' You two and Mom, 87, are amongst the healthiest middle-aged folks I know. Any advise from the three of you is like the ' golden rule.'<br />love and hugs from our cold north where we're hauling ' black gold ' from Randy's compost pile to all our gardens today. It's a good day.

Cancer is in the gene. Either youll have it or you want. However, I think artificial foods and sweetners are bad for health . <br />One day I read coffee is bad for you, the next day its good for you. Same about wine. <br />I think medicines can be your worst enemy. <br />Im not sure what causes your muscle cramps but gelitain is good for the joints.<br />My suggestion.....<br />Take an asprin a day and listen to Sherry.<br />Lisa<br />Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-58725493892352898932016-11-13T07:48:26.329-05:002016-11-13T07:48:26.329-05:00I too take a multivitamin and also a couple of asp...I too take a multivitamin and also a couple of aspirin every day. Thankfully I don't need anything else right now to keep me going. I do suffer leg cramps if I forget to eat my daily banana. I don't know if it'd help in your case. For me it works. We've got the sunshine coming up here this morning and it's looking like a beautiful November day here !

I also take MegaRed 350 MG I a day this is not prescribed by the doctor I get it over the counter. My cholesterol has been good now for years, but before it was getting up over 300. When I get out working I get the cramps in my hands and was told to eat some mustered and I tried it I used honey mustered and it hope me. I ate a pack that I get with chicken strips. It wants hurt to give it a try. Ha. Take care I think I hear my bed calling me.

If you eat healthy and do the exercise you do, and the blood work was good, might be good to drop the pravastatin (but do let the doctor know for completeness sake). There is always one thing or another about our health; don't do this or do that and then in a few years they'll change it around again and we won't be able to do what we did before that they said would be good for our bodies. Commonsense and moderation I think are the main keys in healthy living.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-50622463097544144622016-11-12T23:47:31.937-05:002016-11-12T23:47:31.937-05:00You and Sherry seem to be very healthy for your ag...You and Sherry seem to be very healthy for your age which I know is younger then mine.
