Let’s Go Walking! Join me for a virtual walking support group

Posted by Becky, Volunteer Mentor @becsbuddy, Feb 19, 2020

Many of you living with cancer or an autoimmune disease, like me, deal with daily fatigue. You know that exercise is so important to your health, but it’s so hard. There’s always an excuse: it’s too cold or hot, it’s going to rain or it’s raining, or it’s snowy and icy, or I just don’t want to. I, too, have all these excuses, but I have a new rescue dog who wants to go out and who doesn’t care about my excuses! And I’ve got traction devices for my boots.Now I just need a walking group who will keep me accountable. People who say, ‘let’s go for a walk.'

And I thought: What about my virtual friends on MayoClinicConnect?

Mayo Clinic has an easy 12-week walking program to get us started! Here’s the link:
- Get walking with this 12-week walking schedule https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/get-walking-with-this-12-week-walking-schedule/

So let’s form a virtual walking group. We can agree to walk every day and encourage each other through Connect. We can walk outdoors, in a mall, or in the red center, or in the hallways of our apartment building.

Who’s in? Who’s going to join me?

Come on, Let’s Go Walking!

The CBD ointment is called Rabbit 500 from Frogsong Farm. It is the 500mg strength. It says made in Oregon on it.Check Frogsongfarm.com
I tried it before on my back and didn't find it did too much for me but today my knee area has really benefitted. I am going to try it on my arthritic thumb.

@darlingtondoll Two hours walking in the pool? Is it an indoor or outdoor pool? Do you ever have a competition while you’re there? Too many questions, but have a great time when you can get back in! Becky

@migizii Are you referring to the post that starts "I just could not "cold up"? Have you had any other posting issues? I am tagging @colleenyoung to look at the source, if she will, to see if everything is okay.

@migizii If you find any particularly good videos on YouTube please share them so on inclement days we will have some exercises to do.

@mayofeb2020 I’m tipping the shoppers well too, they are out there risking their health. I don’t know what we would do without them.

@mayofeb Yes good, because we don't have any shoppers here and we hardly have any delivery services. No Whole Foods delivery here. We are dependant on younger neighbors. My husband is 87 and we daren't go out to a store.

Try eucalyptus oil with coconut oil fractionated add few drops of lavender and eucalyptus oil or eucalyptus and rose oil to your knees or tiger balm , it's natural resources without nasty side effects , Dr salts have a dead sea salt and eucalyptus shower/bath liquid it's amazing or make your own . Eucalyptus and charcoal with lavender oil make great hand wash. Or peppermint and tea tree oil with rose oil or orange essential oil. Eating less inflammation helps, sugar and processed foods like additives can make inflammatory response to immune diseases , Burdock root and Mullein drops good for lung health ,
as is dandelion root , after i had collapsed lung i took Mullein drops, ( my dearest precious son who is naturist helps people with sports injuries) ginger root tea with lemon and turmeric, dandelion root this helps recover full lung health. Deep breathing to stay with lung health either with steamed bowl cover your head with towel or something, than breathing deep hold for 5 and slowly blowing out , like your blowing through a straw, this support your immune system better too .
Smoothie s great way to increase comfort in your precious bones strength. Especially spinach carrot and turmeric bananas cinnamon, apple juice, (what ever fruits you enjoy eating) carrot s and carrot juice daily just 10/15 mins before you eat your dinner lunch etc.. can keep your precious hearts smiling. Hope this helps you guy's, enjoy your precious day knowing your not alone. Kind regards swift :.) HUG * from England @@@@@@@@@@@
