Food As Medicine

I have been thinking a long time about food as medicine and surely it is. Its fuel and it also heals us or it can harm and even kill us if we eat the wrong foods year after year. Especially if we over eat them and eat them in huge portions day after day. I went to a dance yesterday and ate potato salad. You know the old fashioned one made white potatoes swimming in mayo :) I ate 1/4 cup of it and so do not feel so bad and and about to go on a four / five mile hike in a hour!

I know that its proven that apples actually heal your body as wells as all the fruits. Antioxidants! They kill the bad cells that develope from all the toxins in our world. Good fats eaten with good carbs can keep your blood sugar in the proper range as the oils slow down the digestion of the carbs...MEDICINE!! Coffee wakes up the brain and does wonders :)

Lisa (see cast members) tells me about our cortisol levels and aging and how stress affects our levels and how food can heal this! She insists on going on a rich meat and oil diet for a day to help her out when she is stressed out. It works....

I have eaten fruits and vegies and olive oil and lean protein (not meat every day) like yogurts and chicken and fish and some lean beef and pork and raw sugars like honey, Organic only when I can and GLUTEN FREE. And most important: filtered water... My numbers at the doctor were:

Cholesteral: Like a teenager
Blood Sugar: Non diabetic
Blood Pressure: Like a teenager
and most important:

BRAIN: Happy, Joyful, and looking forward to a grand future. UNWONKED.....:)

A year ago I was slammin big macs and frozen pizza....:) and in turn I was depressed and hopeless and wonkedup.....

Life is good..Ok off to my hike.....
