*ALERT* Popular medications linked to higher risk of kidney failure

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. I continually improve my diet incrementally

I weigh the same as I did 30 years ago and wear same size pants. Saves on clothing costs, let alone health care !

As to making time, go to bed a half hour earlier and get up a half hour earlier. Or make it an hour earlier and the extra half hour sleep will do you a world of wonders.

I used to eat lots of fried hamburger (over half pound a dinner), but over the years I've become more than semi-vegetarian. When I eat meat it is most often about the size of a pack of playing cards and usually only about 4 times a week (counting all meals). I used to get lots of acid reflux in sleep and burnt my esophagus but it has healed well since I shifted to more vegetarian eating and eating dinner earlier and eating a bit bigger breakfast.

The take-away point being (pun intended): Look to improvements in diet first before gobbling pills. Which does not negate the usefulness of medication after or in conjunction with good diet and healthy lifestyle.
