Healthy Meal

[Reel 224]

Ruth and I started on a healthy meal diet on the first of the month, and I was not so enthused at first because it's basically a vegetable and fruit diet, with fish,chicken and Sirloin beef. The meal we put together tonight was out of this world. No meat all vegetable.

Here are the ingredients: *All are Organic; Chickpeas, Rainbow color beets, Kale,Seeds of Change Quinoa&Brown Rice,Pine Nuts, Celtic Salt, Avocado oil, Season with Basil,Black Pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Chlie: You crack me up personally I love Kale, it's especially good with eggs and sausage.

Mo: It's great, at least Ruth and I think so.

Good onya Joe.

I have been on a whole foods plant based diet since facing a crossroads situation at a very early age.

Before I started, I could not even walk out in the rain for fear of risking hospitalization. About six months later, I could go midnight swimming in ice ponds with total impunity. I have more than doubled my lifespan and immensely improved my quality of life.

I have been studying health for over four decades now. There is a ton of crap information out there but now I find myself in a good place. Paradoxically the best information comes from the medical journals - it just never reaches the general public because there is no money in it.

However some very high profile MDs and scientists have created quite a revolution in this information age that President Clinton used to reverse his own heart disease and the latest news is we have the first medically documented reversal of prostate cancer on a plant based diet by a world renown research doctor.



For anybody wishing to explore this, I would suggest the following as a good source of accurate information:

exp2000: I could make this post long winded with my health history, but I would rather state that I too in the past followed DR. Dean Ornish's diet some years ago and lost over a 100#. Threw being injured and having to have knee surgery I could not walk without being in pain so I gained the weight back over the years and have to have open surgery about a year and a half ago. Ruth and I decided that we have to do something about our diet.....namely less fatty foods and more vegetables. Good thing was Ruth's Doctor's associate wrote a book on  acid healing diet that also deals with a vegetarian diet. So that is were it led us.

Your post is excellent and basically supports what we have started. It's good to know that doctors do take nutrition serious and promote good healthy eating habits and not push Meds.

Thank you for posting this information for everyone to view.

You are welcome.

Yes, I consider treating associated risk factors with drugs while completely ignoring the underlying cause of  lifestyle diseases to be a form of insanity. Its like treating the lung cancer while ignoring the underlying smoking problem.

You might want to check out the location of any CHIP Projects held in your area. CHIP is one of only a few structured courses available to the lay person based on sound epidemiological science.

https://www.chiphealth.com/

Not only do you get a first class education but being a local community based course you build a strong social support network.

You can attend an introductory session before deciding. It really is a golden opportunity.

Good health Joe.
