What have you done for your health today?

Thank you!!! I didn't realize when I went on this side quest how many companies were offering it. I'm still in the early rabbit hole research stage but considering it as an option for Joe's back recovery.

FYI oral is pretty effective at clearing up GI issues and even some have had good results treating Crohns…for injury recovery absorption outside of GI tract is minimal. For muscle /soft tissue you need IM injectable. On injectables then purity gets even more critical and where MA shines to me.

I've been doing good as far as staying moving. At work (desk Job) I try to stand at least half the day and when I do sit, After about 20 min or so, I get up and walk around. I exercise in the morning after the wife and daughter has left. Jumping jacks, sit ups, lunges, planks, and stretching. been off sodas for probably a year or more except for the occasional rum and coke. Drinking 4-5 20oz cups of water throughout the day at work. been introducing more fruit in my diet as of lately... walking at night. trying to get my wife to get on board with me and us come up with a routine we do every night.
My only issue that I struggle with is food. My wife already has dietary restrictions and add a picky 6 year old, it makes it difficult to plan out meals.

If I could eliminate one or two things from my diet that would really benefit my family and I, what should it be?

Sit down once a week and plan meals for the week.
Helps me out a lot.

The only one I’ve personally bought from is MA research chems and ma supps

I’ve known Mike Arnold a long time…he’s turned into a man internet lightening rod. I’m not saying he’s a great guy. But he’s a good chemist and has safe quality shit.

I personally wouldn’t recommend it for daily general health. Paired with tb500 it’s great injury recovery.

But the increase blood cell proliferation in a non recover state has potential for C that I’m personally not willing to play with

I paired bpc157 and tb500 for a shoulder injury that bothered me for over a year. Curated me in 3 weeks.

Rest day.

Which is good because everything is sore. But the lifting bug is certainly back! I've been crushing my diet and gym progress. Really impressed with how quickly most of my strength is coming back considering what a bum I've been for so long.

And it's officially one year since I've become cigar free. No big deal really, I only smoked 6x a year typically.

I think I'll have one to celebrate tonight.

BTW, maybe this is a separate conversation, but has anyone else seen Tucker Carlson's various comments on tobacco? He makes some good points about how it's not that bad for you compared to a lot of other substances, and there are actually benefits to it.

Not that I plan on picking up smoking cigarettes or dipping... and certainly not vaping because I'm a heterosexual... (Jking @ckruzer ) but I truly do enjoy a good cigar.

We typically do that, but we eat the same thing over and over. I am trying to introduce more fruits and veggies into our diets, but with my wife's dietary restrictions and my childs pickiness, it makes for some heated arguments at the Daniels house. I really want to go my lean and clean food

I got some similar issues at my house.

Wife is always on some different diet or plan than me. And the kid's are all over the place with what they will and won't eat.

I just cook my own food and let them fend for themselves now. Usually about every two or three days I'll cook my lean healthy stuff, and let them eat the garbage while I make a protein burrito or chicken and rice bowl.

Hard part is to avoid their garbage food.

Yeah, this is sort of where Im at. If, Im going to have chicken nuggets in my house, its gonna be the Bare brand chicken nuggets which are actually VERY good and slowly trying to phase out all of the junk food or at least have a more healthier alternative to what we currently have. Seems all my daughter likes to eat is Spaghetti, Tacos, chicken nuggets, and PB& J...

None of those things are unhealthy, in or of themselves. Just pick the healthiest version you can. Tacos have infinite possibilities for fillings and toppings. Pasta is similarly flexible.

I've been eating the snot out of burritos lately.

Half cup shredded cheese.
One cup Greek Yogurt (plain)
One pack of Taco Seasoning
Two pounds of 95/5(or best you can find) ground beef.

Brown the meat while you mix the other ingredients, then mix the meat in. Put in a low carb wrap. Around 310 calories, 6g fat, 18g carbs, 45g protein. Makes about 5 or 6 of 'em.

You can add all kinds of veggies and peppers and such, I'm just picky and don't like that stuff.

Win.
Use organic PB and J
Make "nuggets" by chopping breast meat and making your own breading.
Spaghetti can be combined with all the sauces in the world. Highly recommend making your own pesto, the results are always amazing.

As far as Tacos, the sky is the limit. Here’s some I did a few weeks ago. Red onion, yellow pepper, cilantro, leftover ribeye cut and sauted in a pan. Rice, beans and bacon for the side and I ate an avocado during the meal.
Glorious.
