Biography

Diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2011.  Since then I’m regularly checked at two hospitals twice yearly (but with pandemic reduced to just once a year at one hospital).  Except one vitamin tablet, I don’t take any medication.  I do yoga type stretches and meditate and try to walk 3 miles a day.  My pulse, blood pressure and oxygen levels are normal.  I Avoid sugar, red meat, milk; limit carbs, try not to mix proteins and carbs in the same meal.  Good breakfast:(oats  with nuts seeds, berries).  My main meal is lunch: mainly seafood and one or two veg followed by fruit and one square of dark chocolate.  My evening meal mainly hummus or Taramasalata eaten with celery or carrot sticks and a herbal tea.  Another thing:  I mainly see the doctors for ‘glue (and now on also for Covid boosters) and never take any medication at all, not even aspirin.  I feel all this has helped me to stay healthy, but wouldn’t of course presume to suggest that’s the way to go.  But I hope it’ll give you some ideas to take on
