Q: Has your health deteriorated with all those tainted vegetables/fruits, fake food/drinks, gutter oil?
When I am in China I get mild headaches daily. When I return to Canada the headaches are gone after a week or two, then when I return to China the headaches also return.
JungleLife:
You're probably right, that and the air. Actually, now that I think of it, it could very well be my gf too.
My health has only gotten better since I arrived. However, my city has among the lowest air pollution rates in the north, and I only buy food from big supermarkets (and wash thoroughly with bottled water). Then again, Chinese food is so bad compared to American/American Chinese food, that I've been able to lose 60 lbs. since arriving here last August.
Scandinavian:
not sure loosing that amount of weight in that time span would constitute being healthy, unless you throw in the words "excessive exercise"
Amonk:
It's healthy for me, I'm morbidly obese. That's actually not so large a percentage of my total weight, I have much more work to do. I'm filling it in with as much muscle as I can, since the loose skin is starting to add up. But yes, it did require a sizable amount of walking, weightlifting, tennis, hiking, etc.
Scandinavian:
then go for it. I actually lost maybe 15Kg last summer in just a couple of months, but I did introduce the concept of going to the pool and outswim all the locals. good luck
I haven't had any health issues since coming here, but then again I have an immune system that would put a superhero to shame. Oh damn, I hope I did't just jinx myself!
