Replacement of Body Parts

Yesterday I helped a lady named Pam back to her car who was having trouble walking in the shopping centre. She had stopped for a rest when my approach to assist was welcomed. She explained that it was her hip giving her trouble. At 70 years of age she is greatly obese and must weigh around 20 stone. Not wishing to pry too much she did inform me that they were considering a hip replacement operation.

One glance at her and the obvious concern a surgeon would have in her case is the weight she has to carry around. This will impact greatly if she has such a procedure because the pressure on the hip-joint is huge. From my understanding the bones into which the pins are inserted for the new joints can make them weak and easily broken.

This happened to a friend who has had three subsequent operations when the femur broke. Once it was a fall that caused it and the other times have not been told to me. That woman is also in her 70's. At the gym, where there are many with replacement body parts, the women involved relay all types of stories. Some are happy with them others not.

In Pam's case the first thing she needs to do is reduce her weight. That is not easy and she announced she has lost 4 kilograms over the last few months. In my case there has been a reduction of 8 kilograms in the same time period because of removing processed sugar and salt from my diet.

If one is struggling with their physical health there are ways to correct the problems without the use of drugs. Exercise is one of them and careful diets are another. Without salt my blood pressure is rarely above 120 over 70 or 80. Pam's must be a lot more and she is probably on heart pressure tablets. She is also a good candidate for diabetes, if she doesn't have it already.

Without the sugar and salt I rarely get headaches or have to take analgesics. In fact, I take no drugs whatsoever and people are stunned when they learn that about me. Hopefully my bones are strong enough to carry me to the end and I won't have to face a body part replacement.
