How the time has flown, it feels like yesterday that I was still in my teens doing the things teens did in the 70’s. But here I am a lot older at 58. Below is what I am currently doing to stay healthy.
Did I look after my health and body? sadly no. I was active up until my 30th birthday with sport and lead quite an active lifestyle playing with our children. But as time went by I became less and less active, did not eat healthy but never indulged in alcohol I must add.
Through the last couple of years gout settled in together with high blood pressure and other minor ailments.
What my aim is with this article is to share how I have overcome mainly the gout attacks and how I feel better now than I have in years.
How I stay healthy with my diet
They say “You must eat to live” but unfortunately I am one of those “I live to eat” kind of blokes. I just love making, buying and eating food. But as time went by I realized that I need to slow down. One plate of food or 1 hamburger was never enough and I needed more.
In the last 5 years I have been cutting back my food portions and eating more fruit and vegetables with less meat. It seems to have done the trick with my weight. We do not own a scale but in 2010 I was weighed for an insurance policy and I clocked in at 130kgs.
My current weight is 112kgs. Also weighed for an insurance policy a few months ago. So the eat less and healthier seems to be working. But the gout stayed and plagued me constantly.
Gout and how I treated it
There were times that the gout was so bad in my ankles that I battled to walk. The toes were not spared either.
Our family doctor put me on Puricos tablets and I used these for a month and it really helped. Unfortunately I had a few side effects from the tablets and did not feel at all well. As soon as I stopped using the Puricos, the gout returned.
Moringa to stay healthy
A friend from my South African Air Force Days recommended that I start taking Moringa Capsules. This I did and after a few weeks there was a marked improvement. The pain in my shoulders started easing up and the gout attacks became less frequent.
The health benefits of Moringa is huge and there has been many studies done on the subject. Read more about Moringa on the Medical News Today Website.
Cancer Bush Tea
My wife was in a chemist a few months ago and saw a box on Cancer Bush Tea. She spoke to the Pharmacist about the product and she explained the benefits of using the Cancer Bush. She reckoned it would help with my wife’s migraines.
We eagerly started drinking the tea made from the Cancer Bush and after a few weeks there was a noticeable difference. After a few months my wife’s migraines were reduced and are almost non existent now.
Adding Turmeric to my daily arsenal
I read some time ago that turmeric is beneficial to good health. It was quite by chance that I saw a bottle of “Cold Pressed Spicy Turmeric” made by Sir Fruit in our supermarket.
We purchase these Turmeric Shots directly from Sir Fruit via their online shop with really fast delivery. There is now a stash of these “Shots” in our fridge and I drink one every morning.
Apart from the health benefits of turmeric we have become totally addicted to the taste.
In conclusion
Since I have personally been using the Moringa, Cancer bush and Turmeric, there has been a significant improvement of my health. I am almost completely free of the gout in my feet, the arthritis in my shoulders and have way more energy.
Whether the above will work for you – I have no idea but its a combination of natural products that I can vouch for.
I don’t sell or supply any of the above products so this is not an advert but purely just something that has worked for me.
