What am I doing to fight this challenge?

Well, last week I've started taking 2 Brewer's Yeast tablets every day.

I try to drink at least 1 litre of water although I know 2 litres is ideally the quantity I should drink. But wow, it is very cold at the moment so I am slacking in that department.

In the morning I drink half a glass of sour milk as well as half a glass of fermented vegetables.  The vegetables are either cabbage or broccoli, cucumber or brussels sprouts.  I combine whatever I have at the time.

I invested in a stick blender.  It is a marvelous item, I blend my fermented veggies.  Additionally, when I feel like a juice, I blend either an orange juice, banana juice or apple juice.  It is so quick and easy. Love it, love it!


I have done some research on a herbal supplement.  I am happy with the results that I have encountered.  Today I have started taking this supplement.  I take 1 tablet three times a day after meals.  I hope to double the dosage in two weeks time.

Due to my busy schedule I am only able to go to gym over weekends.  This past weekend I cycled and swam a little.  I plan to do the same this weekend.  

I will keep you up to date with my progress.

Love to all....

Ageing is like a thief

Ageing creeps up on a person like a thief.

You don't notice it until one morning you get up and your back aches, you feel a little more tired in the morning, you notice a few lines that were not there a month ago, your hair starts turning grey and you develop padding around your belly.  And this padding just will not go away, no matter how hard you try.

People start looking at you differently, and all of a sudden, you are middle-aged.

I am still trying to come to grips with it.  I don't like the pains that develop if I don't sit or stand properly. I don't like the extra weight I am carrying.  I don't like my changing hair colour.  I don't like my lack of energy.  I don't like the changes in the texture of my skin.

So what am I doing about these things that I dislike?

I am fighting it with all my might.  I joined a running club but oh my word!  Running is proving to be very hard on my knees and I really suffer the next day.  But I will continue.  I started swimming to alleviate my knee-pain and to remove the stiffness from my knees.  I go to gym.  However, please note, I am not a natural athlete!!!! I am not good at all these things I am doing!!! I do it because I have to do it, I have to keep moving.

Anti-ageing is a verb.  Ageing must be fought with all your might! You must fight it with your diet! Ageing must be fought with your body!  Ageing must be fought with natural supplements. Ageing must be fought with your gut!  Ageing must be fought with your brain!

I am going to give you an update on my progress with my fight against ageing on a day-to-day basis as much as possible.

We will win this fight!

Bye for now!
