Life in the easy lane

Some diets are harder to follow than others, but when nature responds with throbbing toes, or aching joints, the lessons become easier to remember.

Unfortunately aching joints, especially feet, make exercising so unpleasant that even knowing it is good for me is often not enough.

And when the very things that are supposed to be so good for you are the same things I am not supposed to eat then meals become complicated.

Easy to prepare processed food, things that come in boxes, or jars, or cans are almost universally too salty for my blood pressure, so those are out for me too.

Fortunately I don't seem to need a lot of variety so I end up eating the same things over and over and over.  I do love variety though.

When Bestest is around we eat out at the most delightful places.  We also often walk miles, but the joy of companionship and the food at the end of the walk make that both healthy and bearable.

At the end of the day I realize that an affluent life may make it easy to live an unhealthy life style and it is up to me to try and do the right things for my own good.
