On this Health thread I just want to give this public service health primer for you lads.

Assessing your health envolves seeing a Dr. for a checkup. For the guys out there : One day on a checkup somewhere around 48-52 y o  you will run into something new. The Doctor, unfortunately almost always a male, will either instruct you to bend over or lie on your side. You will hear the snap of a light guage rubberoid glove. The mechanic will explain briefly that he is going to check out your prostate. At this point you will tell him " One finger Doc, I don't need a second opinion." And guys, remember, this is not some lil chick's finger- no nailpolish here, dig ?  The end.

I have some healthy cooking tips for the whole community, but I will postpone those at this time.
 

I'm 6ft 4" and weigh just over 14 stone. I feel kinda healthy at the moment, although i haven't been to the doctors for a long time, not for a health check anyway. I get out of breath quickly if i run around too much, but i'm constantly on my feet, lifting, carrying, climbing stairs in my job so i guess i get pretty good exercise all the time. I smoke occasionally, but i drink way more than i should. I used to have a few cans every night, but i've cut down a lot now.

This thread makes me want to go and get checked out. I might make an appointment soon...

oh man, hope ya get well, just wonderin, do ya like alot of salt on foods ya eat? if so, slack off on the salt, infact put the salt shaker in your food cabinet instead of on the table/counter.

well, I had friends over from Wisconsin and we had a huge fish fry dinner here at my house. I usually eat baked/grilled fish, but I just had to munch on the very crispy delish cooked batter on that fish, sand bass, I am sooo picky about eating that type of fish, but man, this batch was very yummy!

get well Kevin! p.s. try ginger tea

Hey thar Kevin. You weathered a storm my man and you may have some new immunities going forward so that is a plus. So, late seasonal 'bug' or what man?

Kev, you say your blood pressure is like way high and then way down and  back up right? Do you, as I, have a digital blood pressure monitor ?

I eat junk food.  I drink heavily.  I smoke pot.  I'm almost completely detached from reality, and have unhealthy obsessions.  And do you know what?  I'm happy...
