1. Eat to live, don't

live to eat.

3. Wise words, the diet is good but Covid inactivity has impacted

physical activity. Spring on the way and more opportunities to get outside should help.

2. I know it's an important subject, and know a few points, but this needs Cliff Notes

Harvard can't perform a public health service for free? Like they need the money?

[appalachiablue]

4. That stood out to me as well, fairly strong on the $ side...

7. I knew there would be short cuts

Thanks!

YouTube has dozens of posts by actual doctors on inflammation, nutritionists, chiropractors. Personally I like the depth of the former Swedish Olympian Sten Ekberg but his pace is a bit slow.

6. I have a.s.

I manage 80% of it with an anti inflammatory diet.

It was easy for me to move towards that in 2009. I don't think I've had a coke in 20 years (yuck). There are some small changes that anyone could make to reduce the inflammation in their body.

Something I've not given up - Coffee. But I drink decaf.

8. Harvard now says 10 cups of either decaf or caf is ok.

The tannins in coffee help prevent cancers. Actually there research showed 15 cups are safe. Green and herbal teas are great for you too.
At my age and size, I should be getting 90 grams of portent a day. Sometimes hard to get. Any less and you lose muscles in older adults.

9. I was drinking like

two pots a day!

Took me a month to get off of it

10. Still drinking 6 cup,

but I cut it with half decaf.
