My inspiration to get fitter and healthier was finding a photo of my late mother when she w 80 and her care home ;after she was done diagnosed with Dementia and her care home had her on a diabetic diet and she had lost weight and looked healthy and happy and I had turned 80 and I decided that I could get fitter and healthier and I cut out ice cream, cake and fattening chips and dips and I was walking daily for exercise.
Two years later blood tests showed that my Diabetes type2 was in Remission Control and I no longer had to take Metformin for Diabetes. The blood test showed that my Vitamin B12 was in control and I no longer needed the B12 injections every 3months and sometimes more needed them monthly for lack of energy!
I am still very conscious about what to eat and I have an occasional treat of a icec cream but not daily
My motto is that “We Are What We Eat “
