She was always a heavy woman and had type 2 diabetes. When she had knee issues, the doctor told her to lose weight before he'd approve the surgery. She dieted like most people are told to, low fat to no fat, high carb. She ate little fresh veggies and no fish or fish oils. She lost a lot of weight, but was starting to decline cognitively. She had the surgery on her knee, but had what they think was small strokes during the surgery. Her decline was rapid after that and she was in a hospital for the last 2 years of her life. At 76, she's the youngest of the women in my family to die and I am determined not to follow her example! I use the Weston Price model for my diet and also exercise. I do drink some coffee and wine. I've lost 60 lbs in the last 2 years and eliminated my need for asthma, allergy and high blood pressure meds. Thanks for putting this information out there!Flora's Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01154031320741369525noreply@blogger.com
