Aching.

Dave101t

aching all over? then do it all again, every other day and soon you will be as strong as an ox!

Rummer

Dave I have been trying that approach but I am still pathetic!

I normally am as strong as an ox that's what's so annoying.

I'll limber up first & not go at it so hard.

I seem to be aching all over - been doing a lot of heavy outside work.

I do take fish oil & Gluscosamine, but don't notice any easing of the stiffness.

Any one got any tips? Would be grateful as I feel ancient rather than being in my late forties.:eek:

While both omega 3 from fish oil and glucosamine are anti inflammatory, adipose tissue is a source of inflammation as are omega 6 vegetable oils. You may find it helpful to boost your anti inflammatory status by correcting vitamin d insufficiency and eating a low carbohydrate, higher fat diet to reduce surplus fatty tissue.

Thanks Ted - my diet seemns pretty spot on apart from potatoes which I eat every day. There's Vit D in my fish oil supplement 100% RDA, but also outside a lot so must get enough - although it's been a bit dull until this past week or so.

Sorry the RDA is way way out.
Dr Davis Heartscanblog ensures all his patients get up to 60ng 150nmol/l he finds the average female requires 5000iu and the average male 6000iu His patients live around latitude 43 in a country where milk/cereals are fortified and they get more sun on more days of the year than we do.
If they, on average need 5~6000iu then we, on average will require more.

If you take a postal $40 25(OH)D test you will be shocked. Then use 5000iu/D for around 90 days then retest and you will know the truth for yourself.
When they checked the 25(OH)D of Omaha, Latitude 40N, outdoor workers, (who spend every working day outdoors all day), they found them to insufficient over the winter. Unless you lay naked at noon for 20~30minutes it is inconceivable that hands/face sun exposure can correct insufficiency.

Look at the chart and you will see how 60ng ~ 150nmol/l provides a safety margin above the level associated with most chronic disease incidence.

I'll get some Vit D tomorrow as I'm off to the shops.
I take oil of evening primrose and notice that that is an Omega 6. This is really complicated......

I live in a caravan - even the mention of a bath gets me depressed. I have contemplated getting an old zinc one from somewhere.

I jiggered my back a few weeks back, so I suppose I've been dashing around trying to catch up - although the weather ws so rubbish I didn't miss much.
I just seem to ache all the time - getting me down.

Have you thought of a small paddling pool? DH and I have used a dinghy as a bath in the past too :T

This is a dreadful confession, but I clean a holiday house tomorrow & they have a bath & I am gonna have one helluva bath after I scrubbed the place clean! I'm that excited.
That's a great idea about the paddling pool.
I'll look at them tomorrow as after the house scrub & bath, we're off to the shops. Are they deep?
