Two years ago when I turned 60 I had frequent heartburn, was getting up 2 times a night to pee, was crippled from polymyalgia and arthritis in my knees, had high blood pressure, high blood sugar, insulin resistance (pre-diabetic) and aches and pains everywhere. November 2018 my wife and I went low carb, high fat and eliminated all highly inflammatory grains, startches, seed oils and sugar from our diet. We also started doing intermittent fasting.
I am now 62. I can not remember the last time I had heartburn, I sleep through the night without having to get up and pee, the pain in my knees and legs is gone, my blood pressure is now in the 110s, blood sugar is now normal and joint pain is virtually non-existent. I am back to renovating my new home and my daughter's, with much time spent on my knees (flooring) and up and down ladders. We are also back to our long mountain hikes and my new hobby is riding the most intense giga, mega, and wooden roller coasters I can find.
What you consume has much to do with your health. If you consume inflammatory foods, expect your body to be full of inflamation, and the diseases inflammation causes including many age related issues. If you consume foods that spike your blood sugar and insulin levels, expect blood sugar related diseases and eventually diabetics. Just say'n.
