I am having serious health problems but doing something right because I don’t feel sick like the first time I developed cancer two years ago. I went to a rheumatologist a few months ago after dealing with it on my own for 30 years and he gave me some great tips to help fight inflammation

@cherokeepatti medication or self help like exercise / diet etc?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@ironborn Diet, supplements, changes in how I cook and type of cookware. He suggested ceramic cookware and I bought a set of it.

@cherokeepatti wow that is interesting, I'll look up the benefits of ceramic.

@ironborn I have used American-made stainless steel and cast-iron mostly since the mid-70’s. Thought it was safe but apparently it’s not safe enough to keep metals from leeching out into the food. With ceramic lined cookware you don’t want to use very high heat to cook, and use moist cooking methods mostly. I do brown some meat or chicken in a tiny bit of olive oil compared to how much I used before (never use pan sprays as it can gum up the ceramic surface) and also can add onions and garlic to the meat while it’s browning, and then turn down the heat and add a little water and cover and cook slowly. Also Crock Pots are good to cook in. Am making smoothies more, soups, stews, etc. too. He said that even air fryers are inflammatory as is baking, broiling and grilling.

@cherokeepatti great if you're feeling the benefit

@ironborn I have cancer for the second time but this time I feel so much better. I think the diet etc is helping with that too. My rheumatologist said that getting the inflammation down would help with both arthritis and cancer too.

@cherokeepatti well firstly I wish you all the very best and hope you get well soon. I have arthritis so think this may help.
