Many of us coming out of CS are at a bit of a loss when it comes to looking after ourselves physically. Perhaps we haven't been intructed in, and developed good practices for, the basics of self-care: nutrition, exercise, attention to ailments, treating wounds, and so on. Also, some of us may have serious health issues in which a dangerous condition has progressed to a critical state.
Whatever the case, this thread is designed for the sharing of information, resources, and--especially--encouragement for us ex-CS'ists who need guidance and information on physical self-care. Let's endeavor to share materials that are reasonably authentic and valid. Some of us may have used "alternative health care" methods and therapies, so we want to exercise care in endorsing these. Conversely, one of us may have been unsuccessful with a therapy: that doesn't mean another person couldn't benefit from it!
The point is, let's be helpful to each other, avoiding extreme or bizarre recommendations, overly emotional positions, and untenable generalizations.
Recommendations could be books, articles, nutrition and diet insights, clinics and specialists, therapies (known, new, or experiental), lifestyle insights, and so on.

| This is about the third time I have brought up this book, but people coming out of CS might find You: The Owner's Manual worth looking at for easy-to-understand and practical steardship of the body. It gives special attention to self-care, nutrition, sensible-moderate exercise, and handling the aging process. It is quite readable, even light-hearted at times. This retail link is for another merchandiser if you want to compare price and delivery terms.
