AnnaGWS: Vertigo is something I don't deal with. Low blood pressure can be a cause as my friend has it a lot and she has low BP. I don't consume candy anymore but the other two I do in moderation. Salt is important in our bodies.

I don't know if the antioxidants are doing a great job in my body, but I thank the universe for them.

It's amazing how the body adapts when we remove long time foods/drinks we "lived on"...like for me I ate so much candy for so much of my life, and now the thought kinda makes me a bit sick..love not going to dentist for cavities too.
I‘m unable to sleep in the daytime unless I am sick. Drinking decaf works for me, especially through the winter months. And a cup of afternoon tea is restorative for both DH and me.

There is research that indicates drinking coffee and tea is healthful. So I don’t worry about doing it.

Thanks. My blood pressure is on the low/normal side. I eat very little candy or sugar - not because I do not want to but because I feel better when I stick to a low sugar diet.

What antioxidants do you take?

Whatever works, I was drinking a cup of nice GReen Tea from Trader's ,,, Organic Yerba Mate and it has a nice group of herbs in it, but don't do that lately. I make it thru the day OK but I sure don't push myself with hard work,,,

I never napped all my life until I hit about 80 or a little earlier and now I can doze off a bit.

Grape Seed Extract and Vit C are the biggies and been taking them for MANY years. And I know too they support my eyes as my eyes are good at 80.

oh for sure it adds to our waist line. Yes, it is the sugar even though the wine itself doesn't have that many calories. I just figure at almost 82 it isn't going to make much difference. The doctor has stopped pushing me to lose weight. My husband, who is never drank as much as I do cut back on his wine (he still does drink some) ad without trying has lost about 10 lbs. He isn't at all heavy now and there are very few people at his age that can eat more than he does.

Hubby was on coumadin for years. He could still eat salads, just had to be a little more careful. I know many who, like you did give it up.

"Can't live without it" but it's killing you. Rather than suicide hotline seek help for your food addiction.
