Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
especially for people who need to practice saying "no"...
"NOPE.
Not today."
"Hahahahahano."
"Nah."
"First of all, no. Second of all, no."
"It's a
no
from me."
"How about no."
“You’re always
one decision
away from
a totally
different life.”
“Do not let someone’s irresponsibility become your responsibility.”
“You deserve all the love &
happiness that come your way.”
I like yogurt a lot too. I buy plain Greek yogurt and put it in smoothies or I make a parfait with fresh fruit and granola. I started using it in recipes instead of sour cream too.
I have never broken a bone either.

I eat mostly yogurt and must have strong bones from it. The only thing I've broken was my little toe. I'm not the most graceful person and seem to run into things or drop something on my feet 😁
My autocorrect hates me! 😆
Should read ‘ate’ well all of their lives.
I have horrible allergies too. They are miserable.
I know what you mean about ‘eating properly’ not always helping. I think about people who have exercised and are well all of their lives and end up dying young.
Other people eat junk, smoke, drink, etc. and they are still doing well. Go figure.
Is Dexa, the bone density scan? Yes, my doctor had me do one of those. How often do we need to do that?
I’m due for my mammogram. I don’t know how long we have to do those either.
I was always shocked that my mom never broke any bones. She took quite a few tumbles.
Her bone density test were always great! She did love milk. She drank it all of her life. She was just lucky to have good bones and not break anything.
I broke both bones in my arm in my 40’s, but it was from a really bad bicycle accident. I didn’t see a tree branch in the street and I wiped out.
My husband broke his arm at age 2! He was swinging and told his mom, “Off!” He jumped off and broke his arm. At least I waited until my 40’s to break my arm. LOL 😆
I haven’t taken many vitamins. Mom gave us multivitamins as kids. I think they were Flinstones or something like that.
And eating properly? Must be a joke! My favorite foods through life is most dairy! I should not have a home density issue based on that!
I suppose it all depends on an individual’s situation.
cw,
Hahaha, doctor kickbacks. My dad actually suspected that. He had a doctor that put him on a bazillion vitamins and supplements. They were very expensive! My dad switched doctors.
Sometimes, I think about people who are involved in those MLM’s who are looking to make money. The only people who make money in those pyramid schemes are the ones at the top! Remember Herbalife? Is that still around? Or Amway? I never purchase anything from those kind of businesses.
The plant based calcium actually helps.to increase bone density, chalk based.stops progression of bone loss. Calcium carbonate is superior to calcium citrate in absorption rates. So plant based supplements are calcium carbonate.
Doc did say to find plant based supplement will work best. She wasn't pushing a single brand. The only time I have seen products sold in doctor's offices is dentists and dermatologists. I don't think kick backs is an issue.
I will keep shopping there are other options available. Thanks all.

Stop being responsible for other people's bulls*****t."

It knows everything"
