I didn’t start making an effort until many years into my Parkinsons, I was in denial.

When I did, I set about changing three things:

D – DIET

E – ENTERTAINMENT

W – WORK

My DEW points. I decided that if I was going to Live to be 100 Years Old – with Parkinsons, and avoiding Dementia, I needed to take care of body, mind and spirit.

DIET

In eight months, by November 2020, I had lost 22lb (10kg) !!!

Better still, I went for a Full Body check up – a 360 degree top to toe health screening – and to the amazement of my doctors, I had lost all the fat around my liver.

I am going to share a lot of stuff about taking control of your PHYSICAL life but the dark shadow that haunts me more even than the Parkinsons…

… it’s the MASSIVE FEAR OF DEMENTIA.

ENTERTAINMENT

Parkinsons has taken a number of life pleasures from me so I’m determined to make the most of what it has given me – and yes, it has given me new pleasures. I’ll share with you another day, but my top ten lists highlight some of these.

Finally…

WORK

I needed to keep my brain healthy. I set off to find out how. I’ll share more in later posts but a key activity for me was to carry on working. I even set up a this website!

So, Live Long and Prosper 🖖
