Why do I exercise and eat the way I do?

My why is a simple one. To live a longer, healthier life free from medication and pain. Although I do now take medication for an autoimmune condition, what I don't need is medication to deal with those conditions and diseases associated with the way I was before I started this journey.

I've made changes. But they've not been the big changes some choose to make. I haven't given up alcohol, I haven't become vegan, haven't give up the sweet treats. Those things will definitely help you live a healthier life, but they're not essential. The trick is to put them in their place.

So here I am, 61 years old, with multiple fairly serious injuries (let's not forget I broke my neck in 1988 and there are more injuries than that). Yes I live with pain every day; anyone with the injuries I have does. What I don't live with is a dependence on pain medication. I don't need it because I keep moving and I try to keep my nutrition in balance which helps take the pressure off my joints.

That's all. It's not as hard as you'd think.
