Evening — sugar-triggered foot-pain flare:
Feet started hurting badly, extra sensitive, by evening. Between Chipotle, the watermelon fruit bar, more fruit, and a Turtles ice cream bar at dinner, sugar intake was high for the day — same pattern first flagged back on Day 7's dinner smoothie. Took 2 ibuprofen, 2 naproxen, 2 Tylenol at bedtime on top of the usual PM dose (4 turmeric/curcumin, ~4 caps each ashwagandha product, 2 aspirin, 3 beetroot tablets).
