I did 15 hour fasting for a few months and it did bring my A1C down to normal range. Also lost fat around mid-section.
Now I eat 3 meals and 1 snack, eat a balanced diet, and have no health issues. My secret is daily walks on treadmill for 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of working the weight machine with lighter weight settings, in the gym. I feel simply amazing at age 81. Don’t need any prescriptions, don’t need doctor visits, no joint pains, and enough energy to mow my suburban lawn in Florida summers without needing breaks.
OK, on mowing day I skip the gym.
Yes. I had some heart issues and took 12 weeks of cardiac rehab. They instructed me not to do heavy exertion, but 20 minutes on a bike and 10-15 minutes on a treadmill. I’d like to do some light weights too to tone better. But I can’t do situps or crunches or the like, due to the BP meds those activities make me incredibly dizzy. However, in the last 2 years I’ve done almost none. I know I need to do more. I’ve got a bad case of covid-lazy or something. I would like to swim but public pools have been closed.
My blood numbers are all very good but I do take some meds. They keep me on the low side of normal range; perhaps more exercise will improve them and I can cut back on some of the meds. A1c/glucose numbers were never an issue, just the ole ticker.
