I'm an engineer. I work on complex systems that are imperfect. I understand how to learn how they work and how to find the root cause of problems. The body is more complex than any man-made system. But the same techniques can isolate root causes. ADDING POISONS TO A COMPLEX SYSTEM IS A PRIMARY ROOT CAUSE.
OK, sorry for shouting. I'm also very lucky. I can't stand to be indoors, and I live in the south where sunshine is prevalent. I ran barefoot all summer in my youth. I repair and build everything myself. So without thinking I've naturally done all the natural things to have a healthy body. Some good decisions, mostly my good fortune.
The best way to make a lasting change is to break the path to your destination into small, sustainable improvements. Take a sustained step in the right direction 2-3 times a year, and in a decade you've made a big change.
Psychology matters. The first few changes should be low-hanging, visible improvements that you will notice every day after making the change, which will keep you moving forward. Just keep making small changes in the right direction.
Not so much luck, James, as critical thinking, and some very good ideas. Yes, go barefoot, especially in the garden. If one eats eggs from free-ranging hens, you will be protected from tetanus in your local soil. The immunity will be in the eggs.
Your best point is to avoid the medical mafia. Only doctor visit for me was for a broken wrist in 1988. Since I bagan sunbathing in 2011 (sun lamps in winter) no colds or flu. The fear mongering about sunlight, was the last propaganda to go, for me.
I golf barefoot. It's the greatest feeling to walk on the greens barefoot.
People laugh at me too for it, but since I'm a good golfer they don't laugh long.
But the people I play with are there to have fun and we laugh for 4 hours straight.
It keeps us healthy and you can't beat the exercise for maintaining mental physical coordination. I go barefoot in my garden too. It seems to be essential to connect with the earth. It's like exercise is necessary to sweat out toxins, cooking with garlic for the spirit, music, having grand kids around, gardening, work, and lots of laughter,
Not just the essential grounding contact with the earth, but the skin absorbs heathy microbes from the soil. I eat one garlic clove a day.
A sauna is one of the healthiest habits one can engage in. I grew up in a rural community surrounded by Finnish immigrants. All the old timers had their own saunas. Our neighbors would fire up their sauna every Saturday morning, and stoke the fire all day. We had a standing offer of Saturday night sauna. First the sweet old lady would stuff us with sweet buns in her huge kitchen...then a purifying sauna. Walking home looking at the stars, so clear in the frosty night, listening to the coyotes making an unholy racket (two coyotes can sound like 20) and feeling so relaxed and super clean...is one of the few good memories I have of my childhood.
Btw; there was a study done on what three things were associated with long life. This included countries across the world. The answer: singing, dancing... and playing golf! I always wanted to learn, but never found anyone to teach me.
I love it. I used to play golf barefoot ... the blistering Texas heat made it thinkable. Once I snapped to all the chemicals sprayed on the course, I stopped doing it. Now I walk barefoot on the beach in retirement, but that feeling on the golf course was amazing, you are correct! ~~ j ~~
I was greenskeeper at our course so I did the spraying and warned people when that was happening. There are a few of us who like the barefoot golf feel. 3 or 4 ladies golf barefoot and I see one or two guys. I clean all the T-boxes and mow so there are very few broken tees,
and that's never been a problem. We don't spray boxes or fairways except rarely. Wearing sandals makes it easy to slip on and off. The funny thing this year is that I golfed more than ever in my life Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. and March. and I live in Minnesota. The course is closed but we let people walk the course free of charge.

And avoid the sick care mafia.
Sound advice, James. Thanks!

what are doctors for again ?
