Your Health
I hope that this thread may help create some interest in guys and girls to look after their health while in Cambodia.
I find it strange that we tend to look after our cars / motobikes better than our own bodies. No-one puts crappy second grade fuel or oil into our vehicles yet we actually do that with our bodies which have to last us up to 100 years.
I saw a older guy struggling to walk down the street yesterday, who was just skin and bone. A clear case, in my opinion of Sarcopenia.

Re: Your Health
Hmmm, I go to the gym 5-6 times a week, run a little, walk lots, and generally am pretty active. Still like my beer and food, but do count calories. Also currently fast 14 hours a day.

I'm healthy, but I don't see any benefit in making my body last 100 years. I'd say 80 are plenty, I don't need an extra 20 years in a retirement home.

Sugars from fruit juices (which is concentrated sugars), added sugars in food, Sodas, Western breakfast staples of donuts, cereal, pastries, heavily refined wheat.
Excess sugar can lead to inflammation. Brain disorders like Alzheimers (refered to as Diabetes 3) is being linked to inflammatory response to sugar.

Re: Your Health
There's a huge difference between a fit and healthy 88 year old and an unhealthy one
One is mobile, alert, strong and the other is just a shell of aches and pains that simply exists the last 10/20 years
In fact I regularly see expat men (and women) between the ages of 40 and 60 who are in worse shape than active and healthy octogenarians
Use it or lose it you old cunts
