My seizures are still not under control so I’ve been really taking a hard look at my habits, or as I have come to think of it-the care I take of my body. I also have some other health issues so I’m really scrutinizing how I treat my body so it will be in good shape down the road. Not to mention I’m tired of feeling bad!
So the last couple of years:
Cut out soda after a lifetime of daily consumption.
Almost no junk food, processed food, fast food after lifetime of daily consumption
Almost completely cut out caffeine
Eat fruit daily which I never did before
Drastically reduced screen time
In bed by 9 and read a book until I’m tired
No sleep meds before bed
Almost no alcohol
Went back to my martial arts gym after 3 years out and since epilepsy
70-90oz water daily

My wife of going on 35 years this October, where she was born a day before me and I born seven years before her. She has helped me to get rid of my bad habits even before we got married.💘

Sugar and junk food but I think I've won the battle since I haven't had either since the end of March. Also feel better and lost some weight by getting rid of them. Yeah me!

I smoked tobacco from 12 to 24. I started because I could take them from the shelves of our family's supermarket. I quit at 24 just for the chance to get a date with a girl who I was introduced to. I am now 62 and never had another draw of tobacco since the day of quitting to get the chance for a date. She turned into my wife 7 days before she turned 21, 8 days before I turned 28 I am now 62 and we will never leave each others side forever.❤️
