sweet drinks and gout... be very careful., page-5

was drinking pure grapefuit juice every day for about a year, then orange juice
thought i was being very healthy
got to the point where i could barely walk or write.
things improved when i stopped drinking it

moderation is one key
for instance, i tend to eat things when i am feeling a bit unhappy (comfort eating)
now i can barely breath through my nose (i think it may be years of wheat and grains, as that seems to make it worse)

i have low blood circulation in the feet (is that gout?) and winter can be quite painfull since it gets to 0 degrees here.
the whole body warms up at night when in bed except for the feet which take ages.

on the positive side, i was watching tv and they were discussing coffe facts
there is evidence that supports that coffee in moderation (freshly ground is best) is a colon cancer preventative.

sheesh, the human body
it can be a bit of a drag alright.
