  1. My problem with my knees and why I have alot of pain and trouble exercising is I don't have joint fluid in my knees compounded with degenerative joint disorder and arthritis on my femur bones. I get injections of artificial fluid I jected every month but still have so much trouble doing anything. Just doing go use work some days is very painful. I need a super low impact excercise. The only thing my doctor says is to lose weight and it will be easier. I wasn't overweight before and started gaining weight because of ny inability to exercise properly and now I'm obese with no help from my doctor. I wake up in a lot of pain and usually do not sleep because I'm in so much pain from my daily activities I have to do. Do you have any exercises that do not use the knees that will help build muscle?

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
