What I did all day...

Keep in mind I am 53...

I sat on a Board for a Martial Arts rank promotion test for testing candidates...

I was the oldest in the room...

Sparred candidates that were in their teens to late 30's.

Also helped with the coordination and holding of boards and bricks for breaking by the candidates... for those that do not know... holders generally end up with mashed fingers from the middle ranks... no problem for me.

Standard op is that 5 boards and a brick need to be broken with different techniques and include both dominant and non-dominant hands AND feet without using the same technique twice.

Yes I have done that myself... with 7 boards and two bricks. I am the only one that breaks (thus far) with my head too... LOL.

When it was over, I felt as if I went through a test... whew... ringing wet with sweat and all... got out of breath a time or two too.

This from a guy who could hardly get in and out of a chair 5 years ago... and had major mobility problems at times due to 4 knee surgeries, two on each one, and a back surgery - I also had my left calf muscle severed in half when I was 13 and left leg broken when I was 15... various other things too... including skin cancer and a lipoma the size of a grapefruit.

All that is behind me.

I have come a long way. I want more - I want to do this indefinitely - I had fun doing it.

Let food be your medicine, let medicine be your food. High quality, nutrient dense food is a must.

For anyone who has done a little food research, they will find that the nutritional value of foods has fallen dramatically in the last 100 years, and that this is true for organics as well, though they are always your better choice IMO - labeled or not.

You will also find that MOST trace minerals are severely lacking in these foods, and that agricultural chemicals, and NPN's cause the nutrition in food to be bound and unavailable to you.

A little more research and you can find one or more macro and/or trace mineral DEFICIENCIES involved in EVERY degenerative disease... AND implicated in the INCREASING prevalence of disease such as autoimune diseases, including AIDS, and cancer.

You will also find that pharmaceutical side effects are due to their causing mineral and nutrient deficiencies.

If you can be self sufficient and raise/grow your own foods of the highest quality... you may have it made :-)

However, if not, and due to the commercially available foods being of such poor quality today, if you find yourself needing some nutritional help... fill in the gaps with some or all of the suggestions found in this forum.

NOTE: Foods include high quality herbs and spices. Use them in your cooking for food prep... and tasty things such as cinnamon or black pepper of high quality are both an excellent source of manganese.
