I recognize I ate way too much sugary food the other day because our knees are hurting.
Sugar causes me to experience inflammation and I can guess how that impacts the joints after eating so much of it.
I have to split it out of our diet basically. I went to an anniversary celebration the other day and they had some tasty chocolate cakes that I sampled a little bit too much of. So now I can sense pain in our joints where I wasn’t feeling before the cake incident. I have learned our lesson once again however that cake may have been worth this pain. My heating dealership keeps an ice bath in the back of the showroom that the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C techs use. I am going there later today to use it for our knees. I would normally go in the sea during the Winter to cool down our knees and help speed up reclaimy, however the water isn’t frigid enough yet so I will have to hop in the ice bath for a bit. Then I will come home and put our legs in a more moderate bath to heat them up again so that they don’t ache from the frigid when I squat down. I have a wonderful overheated water heating system that right away heats up the water for me. I had it installed last year in locale of our aged water heating system that had a leaking water tank. I also put on some Biofreeze gel to help with the pain and swelling and also to help speed up the healing and the heating process.
