I am in a situation where I am in a foreign country (let's leave that anonymous but let's just say they eat a lot of rice) and I have adopted the diet and habits of the locals just because that is all there is. I dropped over 25 pounds in the first month and continue to become leaner. I have no car or motorcycle so everywhere is a walk.
I was starting to look my age (lets just say the 60's category) in the States even though I did my best to monitor myself. Over here, the diet can be more plant-based although there is plenty of chicken, meat and fish available. Dairy is pretty much non-existent unless you want to go to western stores. The very traditional breakfast here is porridge. In the past it was usually rice or millet porridge but now it can be oats with other seeds and beans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds all ground up into a hot steamy gruel. (very healthy for sexual and prostate vitality, plant-based protein, heart-kidney-prostate-liver-blood healthy, high in zinc and arginine as precursors to testosterone.)
Most of the people are thin and robust, ride bikes and motor scooters. Women are gorgeous when young and as years advance, still plenty hot. ( I often go to a public pool to (a-hem) swim and I see entire families together and the moms look almost as sweet as the daughters)
Sometimes when I need a more intense psychological and physical purging, I go to the ridiculously scalding hot sulfur baths. Some of them are open and public with a variety of pool temperatures so they mix cold water into the natural occurring sulfur arising from the earth. Of course, the smell of sulfur which smells like rotten eggs predominates but you learn to love it.
Some of the more secluded sulfur bath houses segregate men and women for nude bathing. So, hanging out with the local men (usually I am the only white guy) I see such vibrant health. The protocol is you dip in the hot sulfur bath for about 5 minutes (that's about all that is tolerable) (my first time in all eyes were on me, like let's see what happens to this "gringo.") The heat was like that which you plunge lobsters into for holiday dinners. I wanted to retract, escape and scream out but I do have some pride. so I maintained an emotionless face and held on for the 5 minutes. The local chief gave me the nod of approval and I was accepted and later talked to. After the dip, these rugged country men bend and twist into pretzels, stretch, exercise and most of them are well past 70's and they are lean and sinewy and look strong. They do a lot of self-massage to their junior member to keep him fit and ready for a night of action. Some younger guys come also but these older guys are way stronger and tougher and admirable and limber. Their gaits are long and free and unobstructed. They eat local fruits there like guavas and passion fruits and hang out for the day. In and out of the sulfur, stretch, relax, meditate and back in.
Recently I went for extensive blood tests and everything was normal. So, when I come back to the States, I will try to incorporate some of these health practices into my life. The porridge in the morning with all that roughage and more vegetables and fruits are very implementable. Good health and abundant sex are inextricably intertwined.
