I recon it takes about two weeks then you do feel a boost. Cheers Arry Golden milk was another I've been trying the milk has to be hot for the turmeric to work and black pepper releases the curcumin in the turmeric. Like I said bit of a rabbit hole when you get going interesting looking into it all if nothing else. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goly 1,695 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Half of them are probably just placebo, and some can have negative side effects, always wise to do some proper research. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honey mate makes everything palatable, my daily drink is a pint of hot water couple of mil nettle root, couple mil cider apple vinegar spoonful of real honey and a mint tea bag keeps the old water works flowing nicely and seems to help with the old arthritis as my xrays ,scans and docs tell me I,m riddled with it but I feel nothing 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,914 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 What do people cook with ?…… I used absolutely loads (and I mean loads) of garlick, turmeric, paprika, cumin, black pepper, ginger, basil etc etc on a weekly basis Loads and loads of herbs and spices Not for any medicinal reason, just because I like to cook and I like to have a bit of flavour & interest in what I’m eating. I’ve always cooked like that and one thing I have noticed over the years is, my dogs get all our leftovers, and they never need worming….ever. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Food is a biggie imho, sometimes you want something heavy and robust and frankly rubbish (like a full English) and that’s fine, but sometimes you want something lighter, fresher…..it’s all in world cooking. Mediterranean, Asian, Italian…..Our own isle has some of the greatest produce in the world, well worth investigating 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A great deal is about how you cook as well, Bacon with the fat cut off, brown bread for toast, small amount of baked beans, poached egg instead of fried and grilled tomatoes and mushrooms instead of fried, a relatively health full English with 3 of your 5 a day.

Lol Let me do you the favour of a serious response for a second. Ive been retired 10 years and enjoyed every second of doing f**k all and cooking and eating things I like and, just like every male in my line before me, I’m a big old dude now although still able for 90 minutes of football every week at 53 year old. You on the other hand are probably in your 40s and looking to sort yourself out, now, if you are 40 and in tatters what the f**k have you been at for the last 25 year ? There’s lads of 40 never went near a gym in their life and they are in great order because they graft and are generally active plus probably have decent genetics. I was a machine upto the point I retired, never thought nothing about it…..what’s your excuse ? 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know an Asian lad, who's mum had breast cancer..rather than have conventional treatments,she went back home for a 12 month..and ate all the traditional meals and spices etc...she came back to the UK and was cancer free.... having a good diet will keep most things at bay 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
