Subject: RE: BS: Health: how to make myself robust?
Thank you all again. I considered yoga a few years ago but didn't pursue it. There are lots of classes in my area, but due to my not knowing which of those were good, bad or indifferent I ended up going to none. Sounds silly now. No more of that. My health is high priority now. If I go to one and don't like it, I'll go to another.
I used to go swimming 2 or 3 times a week and loved it. (It didn't stop all my winter infections, though.) The only reason I stopped is because the local authority closed down the pool and demolished it to make way for a road (!!!!) and there isn't another local one which is open when I'm available. Time to look again.
And yes, walking was something else I used to do regularly (which also didn't stop my disasterous winters). Now that I think about it, about 5 years ago I stopped doing all sorts of things when a new job and work took over my life. No more of that.
Homey, thanks but I think I'll lay off the snot. (And Helen, drinking your own urine in the desert will make you die more quickly because of the high salt content, which will dry you out.)
I will look into xylitol. At the bottom of the xylitol website given above, it quotes Dr. James Chappell: "Those who fail to take the time to be healthy will ultimately have to take the time to be sick." Yup. That's me. And I am so very, very grateful to you all for contributing to this thread to help me put that right.
