The week has started sunny but chillier. Still we are having high temperatures at noon.
I went to the kitchen to bring me some of the delicious Chinese tea and I was very happy that yesterday I had cleaned completly the kitchen. I usually leave a couple of dishes in the sink but now everything shone
I also brought some fresh cheese. The cheese has no lactose and I´ll try to check if that will help my belly. It seems to me that doctors know about giant ailments when everything is too evident, but rely completly in expensive tests for everything else.
I have always believed that most of the times we have to start being the doctor for our body as we know it better than anyone.
Do you take care of your body in an every day basis or do you rely on what doctors say only?

Yes I do and in earnest now. With age comes wisdom..meaning kick yourself in the a** to stop eating and drinking junk.

@marguicha Yes and I am proud of you for taking good care of yourself Marguicha. We must have some knowledge of food and drink and what it does to our bodies, as well as some restraint.
Quite frankly, I cannot eat as I used to at all. I do not have the capacity to.

@RebeccasFarm I remember that just a few years ago, I had to eat 2 full bowls of lentils when I made them. Lentils are my favorite legumes. Now I only eat one dish and not so full. And I still eat read meat but in much smaller quantities.

I only do what my body tells me. I don´t even need to think if it is healthy or not.

I do not trust most doctors.
Around here I have gotten the impression from most of them that all they want to do is rip off my insurance by ordering useless tests.
I personally am like you in that I will take care of myself and only see a doctor if it is a major problem like a broken bone. So far so good I suppose.

The cheese could be the problem as you have been eating a lot

I eat lots of cheese and have eaten lots of cheese all my life. Now I will eat lighter cheese in the morning.

@marguicha Sadly as we get older what we can eat sometimes changes

I told the doctor that I had cancer years ago and he did not believe me. But I insisted and he wrote down all the exams I hat to have done. The lymphoma came out in only the last test, a biopsy.

I am forever checking with my doctor to be sure what I am doing is right. But, it is my body and I do most things on my own. The doctor did initially prescribe me meds and then I have gone on from there with some supplements which I will verify with my doctor next month.

I have not seen any doctors in ages. I rely on the Lord and thank him each day that I have no health complaints and do not have to take any medications,

As you said, I know my body best of all. I do listen to what doctors say though. Sometimes doctors don't listen to us though.
