... first time I have ever heard anyone say that about chicken.Well, I don't smoke, ANYTHING, dip, drink sparingly and never been drunk and I'm 32, I eat tons of veggies and fruits all mainly organic, no red meat, I eat processed meat here and there when the deer, squirrel, etc. have been ate, I suppose second hand smoke, don't eat dairy, don't eat fish as I believe most fish you buy are not healthy no matter what the government says with mercury levels, etc. I buy chicken from a local farm that was raised healthy, I rarely eat breads or anything with gluten even thou I'm not intolerant, etc. I take 225 billion CFU ProBiotics each day, the gym 5 days a week, drinks a lot of water, stay away from sugar 99% of the time because every now and then I have to have a Reese Cup
I get my blood tested once a year and all my levels are where they should be for a 254lb man. Only salt I add to my meals and that's on dry chicken usually and which is Himalayan salt. It's dry because I'm nervous around chicken, I'd rather eat it dry than juicy and risk of bacteria, etc. I do 20 mins of HIIT each morning to get my body going, feels great and I run about 3 days a week.
I also don't play video games and no soda.
I want to live to as healthy as I possibly can because I want to be around for a long, long time. I def don't want to go through my life spending it in the Doctors office, taking medications that can have worse side effects than what it's treating, etc. I love to be outside and explore the wilderness, can't explore if I'm unhealthy, no fit, etc.
Reading your post was a workout for me. I had to google HIIT.
