The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I switched to a super healthy (and very enjoyable) anti-inflammatory diet after three bouts of Covid triggered pain all over my body linked to arthritis.

The pain mostly went away and the happy by-product was a significant loss in weight.

Happy to share how I did it.
Please do!
 
Cut out sugar and all processed foods, and mainly eat meals with high veggie content plus fish and chicken for protein. (I had to cut out acidic foods that caused pain, including tomatoes, red peppers and chillis, plus a few other things including red wine).

Carbs at weekends only.

Make loads of tasty green veggie soup, mainly from frozen veg including onions, spinach, cabbage, sprouts, kale, leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, plus loads of peas to thicken it up, and add a fresh bag of watercress a few minutes before mixing it up with a stick blender. Also add any salad ingredients that are nearing their sell-by date.

I add veggie stock and loads of herbs and spices (garlic, ginger, turmeric, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme etc) to give it loads of flavour.

Eating "five a day" is a myth. If you play loads of sport, like i do, you need 15 a day! This soup delivers that.

It also makes your digestive system ruthlessly efficient!
Excellent! @Mittering, are you taking notes?

I may be getting a cat. My friend has a stray that showed up. She used to be the head of the Humane Society in the county she lived in. So he is very friendly, can be pet and picked up, so she thinks he was dumped. About a year old. And he wants to come in. So she's going to catch him, and then take him to get spayed his shots and check for feline leukemia. I will keep you posted

He is super skinny, so she is feeding him, and set him up with a box in the shed. She is currently a dog sitting a dog that is not cat friendly, so she is leaving Thursday and that is when she will bring the cat inside. Apparently he's had some kind of human contact cuz he's very friendly. I'll send you a pic here in a sec
Awwww! What will you name him?

(And - people who will dump an animal suck! 🤬🤬)

I have been moving towards more vegetables in my diet as well and noticed an improvement. I recommend that to everyone.

Good on you, Hero O' Mine!!!


I have never had an orange cat. The landlady had a big fat orange fella when we first met. He was her old cat. He died a couple of years ago. He liked me a lot, and all the cats liked him. He didn't like Geezer, but that was okay, because Ethyl hated him and took his cat tower from him like Alexander at Tyre.


He will love you forever.

My wife and to some degree my daughter volunteer for a rescue so we ALWAYS have a foster cat or two around here. I don't mind cats but they LOVE them. Actually they just love animals....cats are just a piece of this animal puzzle.

So as I mentioned back whenever on here: I basically live in a zoo lol
