I have shellfish sensitivity and I know there is some risk with kelp, but I'll ask my doctor if it is something I can try! I did blood type and nutrition research several years ago. It's fascinating reading.
My old standby for battery recharging used to be going out for walks, but we have both black bear and coyote in the neighborhood lately, so I don't go out often. There is a spot nearby where three river forks converge that is great for me, but we haven't been to the national park in a long time. I don't usually go when the leaves drop because I have oak mold allergies, so we go late winter after everything has frozen or early spring I'm sort of a mess. 
I do what I can indoors for exercise, but with the joint pain it's hard to do much. I usually walk loops through the rooms downstairs.
Deep breathing and meditation used to be a big part of my life and I have done it for years, but this is one of the areas where it is difficult to focus now. I am perpetually tired from the medication and I find that if I quiet my mind, I get really sleepy. I'm sure that is from the narcotic component.
My main beverage is water and I drink quite a lot of it daily. Mostly plain, then with a little tart cherry or apple cider vinegar. Other than that, I drink hot tea occasionally or something caffeinated when I am really tired. I do sleep a lot. More than I would like to.
Thanks for the kelp info and your post. ? It's much appreciated.
