 my knees can't take it because of all the football i've played in the past

but i'll get them back in shape 
 cutting out seed oils helps a lot with the knees

i used to ride skateboards, and in the last few years i could barely manage to jump up or down a yard...

i can do that all again now... just keep away from seed oils, modified starches, maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners, and UHT milk - those are all the worst of the things that will ruin your joints and your muscles

and most of the damage is actually neuromuscular, literally the nerves aren't sending the signals to the muscles anymore!

i only became alert to this because it ruined my vision and yes i'm older now and i have lost my short range distance, used to be about 4" now about 6" minimum distance but i was getting double vision and constant cramps... my mother tells me she gets the cramps too and needs to drink ridiculous amounts of water to stop it

no, there is reasons for this, and mostly it's seed oils, and other weird processed shit and artificial sweetners and modified starches (maltodextrin)... just start reading the packets... you'll see that almost nothing in the shop inside a packet is safe to eat
