A year in a life without refined sugar – Day 6
My friend and amazing human being, Mark Joyner, launched a new site called aYearWithoutSugar.com and I’ve joined him on a quest to go a full year without sugar. Fortunately, I’ve been doing this for a few years already; however, I’m tracking what he’s doing b/c 1. I respect him and 2. I’ve been drawn to finding healthier ways to eat even on my current pescetarian diet. He has also cut out alcohol in his diet, and though I haven’t been drawn to that yet, the 80/10/10 Diet (my amazon referral link *wink*) is quite interesting to me. Check out what he’s up to and follow along. Oh… and Its never to late to join in. Since he posts his daily meals, I figured I’d do the same starting today (in a very similar...
Looking for assisted living solutions for seniors in Atlanta? Check out Dogwood Forest
I recently found out about an assisted living facility in Atlanta called DogwoodForest.com. Now, I’m not about to put my mom in an assisted living facility or anything – as she says, she’s still a “spring chicken,” so no need – but I found out about this company through my job and I gotta say I like their style. They are one of the only facilities using something called Simple C, a non drug alternative to helping make seniors lives happier. For example, if you have alzhimers, instead of treating you with a bunch of drugs, the staff at this unique community actually create scrap books, scan them and show them to you because science apparently shows it increases brain activity. Dogwood forest also uses their residents favorite...
Bill & Melinda Gates’ stance on health care – Impatient Optimism
I received a newsletter from ONE.org to day penned by Melinda Gates. It informed me that she and Bill have been having great success working to make a difference in Health Care around the world: “When I visited Ethiopia earlier this year, I met Tsion, a hard-working young woman in the government’s Health Extension Program. She is trained to tend to pregnant mothers, who otherwise would rely on traditional attendants unable to stop internal bleeding or resuscitate newborns. Tsion has helped take the terror and fear of death out of childbirth for hundreds of women.“ Melinda asked ONE Members to help “spread Tsion’s story, and others—so more Americans realize our tremendous progress improving health around the world and are moved to...
Food Combining: Can Trophology Improve Your Health?
Several years ago, my wife and I switched from a ‘typical’ American carnivore’s diet to a Pescetarian (vegetarian + fish/seafood) diet to maximize our health. My initial motivation to switch came from unexplained fatigue after eating certain meals – particularly ones heavy in starch and sugar. After running blood tests, I was relieved to find I didn’t have any blood diseases, diabetes or the like but still wanted to find the cause. Later, I read The Celestine Prophecy and was reminded of the importance of pH balance in the body along with the alkaline and acidic properties of foods. The book explained the importance of eating a 70-80% alkaline diet for optimal health, and after researching the topic a bit further, my wife...
