You’re the Boss, Applesauce

When I was a young child, my sister had a friend Gretchen who used to say:

“I’m the boss, applesauce.
You know what I mean, jellybean?
You understand, rubber band?
Cause, I like apple pie.”

Ridiculous, right?

Yep, however, there is some truth in “I’m the boss, applesauce.”

We have a choice! Just because our family members, friends, acquaintances, coworkers, or society says we “should” do something doesn’t necessarily mean we should! Now, I’m not advocating breaking rules. There’s a proper way to make societal and legal changes for that. What I’m suggesting is—as my dad used to say—”if all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?”

I may create some waves with this blog; however, here I go!

Almost two years ago, I had a bone density test which showed I had severe Osteoporosis (-2 to -3.5 on their scale). At the time, the doctor convinced me to take the weekly prescription of Fosamax to strengthen my bones. I followed her advice, “I’d put my mother on it” for six months. Then, a friend sent me some video links regarding side effects which included fractures. I decided I didn’t need a prescription medication to give me more fractures and I stopped taking the Fosamax.

A year later, my new doc suggested I go to the Colorado Center for Arthritis and Osteoporosis and get a second opinion. That doc immediately wanted to put me on the prescription of Evenity—a once-a-month shot—followed up by Prolia, a biennial shot for the next 7 years. She made the “drug” sound so promising! My friend and I returned home and did more research. This prescription, along with fracturing can cause heart attacks!!!

I then talked with my pharmacist and others who said I needed calcium supplements. Of course, after talking with other docs, I found out that supplemental calcium can lead to estrogen-dependent cancers.

I’m not so uneducated that I cannot comprehend that everything has side effects! I could eat too many nuts and get something! However, I’d rather overdose on nuts than break a bone. Or, if I ever broke a bone, I’d rather do it walking with my pup than because I took a prescription drug.

Here’s what I’ve decided to do for my bones. Each day I’m going to eat calcium found in plants—1000 to 1200 mg is recommended. Along with these, I’m going to take 5000 mg of vitamin D3, and I’m going to lift weights at least three times a week.

What about you?
Are you being your own boss?
Are you allowing others to dictate your future?

Health is a personal thing. I can’t tell you what to do or what not to do, and I’m definitely not a doctor! I can encourage you to be your own boss and maybe to eat some applesauce! 😊  We all must take responsibility for ourselves—to stand up to the Goliaths (https://soaringintogreatness.com/david-goliath-and-you/)  in our life! We must live with the consequences of our actions and be the best we can be! In being our own bosses, we’ll change the way we see, and we’ll change the way we live! Now, go have that applesauce!
