Plus, things containing natural vitamins and goodness are not part of his diet.

As my age & assorted medical conditions relentlessly increase, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I've started taking all sorts of health supplements to try to delay the inevitable & help oil the creaky wheels.

Omega 3 Fish Oil

Vitamin C & Zinc

Magnesium

Multi-Vitamins & Iron

Tumeric & Vitamin D

Vitamin E

High Strength Vitamin D.


Do they do any good? No idea, but mentally, it ticks a few boxes.


I also have 6 Prescribed Medications, Lansoprazole, Bisoprolol Fumurate, Aspirin, Atorvastatin, Jardiance & a new one, just started, Clopidogrel.

The twice a day tablet-taking routine is almost a meal in itself, & the once a week routine of filling the Tablet Box thing is a half hour job.



In my mind, I feel better for taking them. In my mind...

These aching feet, mostly my left has only surfaced since my return to golf after a 2 month break. I can't eat walnuts, absolutely hate them so the capsules seem a good alternative.

I have a good diet I think. Fruit and veg every day, I love it. Food portions have had to be reduced to keep my weight down to my post operation levels.

Off to check out the omega tablet/capsules

teh internet

Yes, walnuts are an excellent plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). A one-ounce serving (about a handful) provides 2.5 grams of ALA, making them the only nut significantly high in this essential fat. These omega-3s are associated with heart health, brain function, and reduced inflammation

Comparison to Fish: While fish provide EPA and DHA, walnuts provide ALA. The body converts a small amount of ALA into EPA and DHA, but ALA has its own independent health benefits

I noticed that both my hands and ankles had improved over the last couple of months and the only dietary change was walnuts (I didn't specifically know about their anti-inflammatory health benefits, so that rules out a placebo effect). So they might be worth a try.

doubleup mentions walnuts as they contain Omega 3, whatever that is.

Perhaps easier & more practical, I buy Omega 3 Fish Oil tablets from Tesco, they work out at 7p per day so cheap enough & much easier than faffing about with walnuts every day.

The Golf Thread & elsewhere seems to have all manner of ailments & health tips under discussion, so I think it's time we had a dedicated thread.  

ecco shoes very good for comfort and waterproof, but expensive. I can't wear shoes with a stiff upper as I get bruised nails on my big toe when I do.

Re aches and pains, try eating a few walnut halves every other day, they contain omega3 fatty acids which amongst other things reduce inflammation.

 

Those definitely look waterproof Kev or you'll be able to get them under the trades descriptions act!

I was referring to the super-comfy spikeless skechers which have pimples on the soles and are supposed to be water-resistant.

I have a pair of Adidas like that Ralph, found out they weren't waterproof at a Devon 3 day trip and they were the only pair I took. Rookie mistake. 😁
