Don’t eat them if they are unpalatable. I usually do mine without the bacon but we all know how wonderful bacon is.

I had a dexascan recently and have had some more bone loss...last one was 9 years ago. With all the good bone building things I eat and weight bearing exercise every single day...it still happened. I remember you saying you can’t have anything with oxalates so I started researching the best foods for osteoporosis. Turns out that spinach is high in oxalate and I have eaten tons in the past 6 years mostly for eye health. Oxalates prevent calcium absorption in the bones. Spinach is gone from my diet along with several other things like all legumes and almonds. Who would have thought almonds were high in oxalates along with all the berries that I love. Fortunately other leafy greens and fruits are fine so I did my shopping today bone density wise while also eye wise.

My d levels were low in September so I upped the vitamin dosage and will do a vit d blood test this week. I’m going on a bone and joint nutramix regime along with Vit D and K2. I take daily daily essentials and inflammatory and joint compounds from nutramix but am going to discontinuing the daily essentials This stuff ain’t cheap and I get it at cost But it beats taking drugs which are expensive. I am going to post this on the bone and joint forum after a while.

Got off the track but Brussels sprouts are not my all time favorite vegetable . However you can make most vegetables tasty by tossing with EVO , s and p and roasting. My energy level is fantastic and my balance is good and I am increasing the number of times I take my 2 mile walk and hope to start a core class for seniors in addition to the regular classes.

You have to stay on top of this stuff and I find nutrition interesting. My whole family is health conscious and we are slowly getting the grandkids to adapt. It pays off in feeling stronger and more alert and having a well balanced gut.

Getting down from the soapbox now to binge watch some Netflix or amazon or Hulu.....we have it all....and oh yes...I had my vino and one piece of dark chocolate already. You were the one that got me checking for moth larva under the chocolate.
