Slice of Chaotic Life

The daily life of a celibate middle-aged man.

A day off from exercise

Posted by Itlandm on May 15, 2012

My knees hurt and my legs are stiff from moving too fast without warming up properly. I have reached the age where even my warm-ups require warm-ups. I am sitting out a day.

Conveniently, my digestion is also upset. I seem to react much more strongly to xylitol (the natural sweetener) than I used to. Xylitol is actually a sugar, but is not digestible by humans. I guess my intestinal flora is a bit confused at it too. I used to chew xylitol gum and eat xylitol candy in moderation but pretty much daily during my previous intestinal flora, but after the reset from the broad-spectrum antibiotics I have to be more cautious, it seems. Hopefully it will rebuild soon.
