Wow - Eighty! I don't get enough veggies as it is, so I went right out to the store and bought myself some low sodium V-8 juice. At only 70 calories, too....it will be a good substitute snack.
I'm still battling a bit of a back pain issue, but now when I sit for awhile, it's very painful to get up! Cripes! I'm getting worse instead of better! I've never had this before.I try more turmeric to reduce inflammation, I get out and try and walk more, but the joint between my body and my legs are still screaming at me when I get up.
Let me think about this..... it's not bad when I get up, but it gets worse some time during the day. Maybe it's something I'm eating?? I decide to keep a food diary during the day and keep up with what I eat and how I feel.
Since I have a problem with wheat that I know about, I'll cut back on wheat products since that causes arthritis like symptoms in my joints.....that just HAS to be it - too much bread!
Well, after studying my "eating" notes, guess what? It's the V-8 juice! I know that I also have arthritis like symptoms with members of the nightshade family - potatoes, eggplant and TOMATOS. V-8's main ingredient? Tomato.
Today, no V-8 and I'm starting to feel more like my old self. Hooray!
