       If Life knocks you down. Calmly get up, smile and say; "You hit like a bitch."

It Shouldn't Be About #Losing Weight

        I'd like to re-evaluate everything about #diet, #nutrition, and all the modern day disease of man-kind, from obesity to cancer and bring them all back to one root source and that is our food supply.      
             First lets look at history; our grandparents and many of our parents generations didn't suffer from diabetes unless you were at high risk from genetic factors. I remember this as a kid. Few people had cancer, heart disease or high cholesterol even though people ate fattier foods. This was before the 60's when the word "wholesome" was used a lot. More on this on an upcoming blog post. Families didn't eat out a lot. In homes and restaurants most food was prepared from "scratch". There was no prepackaged, frozen, dehydrated, reconstituted, or food packages that sound like they have more in common with a chemical laboratory then my stomach. Food both meat and vegetables came from mostly local or regional farms.
      Then came the 60's; we were going to be the bread basket of the world and supply every fruit and vegetable to everywhere in the country any time of the year and month. First came the heavy chemical spray programs to produce the perfect non blemished fruits and vegetables. Then came the chemicals to help store, ripen and transport green produce all over the country. Then things sped up. We were going to be given an easier more relaxed life style all through chemicals. High Fructose Corn syrup was added to the mix to make "cheap affordable" food. Preservatives and additives. We were going to be living the sweet life, everything was going to be so easy, just pop in the microwave and dinner would be ready in minutes.
      Well my friends, we have been sold a pack of lies. If your not very, very careful your grocery store and certainly all fast food restaurants will slowly poison you to death. Diabetes is at epidemic proportions. Cancer and heart disease are prevalent through out our society. All because of the chemicals they are feeding us.
             Don't eat to lose weight! Eat to be healthy! Don't eat fast food! Eat as much if not all organic. Even meat! Especially meat! Eat a mostly fruit and vegetable diet. A juicer or blender is one of the best things you can do for you health. Drink juice you make your self. DRINK green smoothies.
    If you do this, I promise you that you will feel better. Physically, mentally and even spiritually.

I Was Wrong

          About a year ago, I wrote a blog piece on weight loss through a high protein, high fiber, low sugar diet. You can still lose weight this way but it causes other problems.
         After a lot of study over the last few months I've found out that our bodies are not designed to process that much protein. In order to process that much protein you must drink a lot of water. Something like half your bodies weight in ounces of water. That much protein is very hard on the liver and kidneys.
      I've come to believe that an organic based plant diet with lots of juicing and smoothies is the best thing you can do for your health.

Living The Sweet Life

         If you want to sweeten your life, if you want to make your life happier, if you want to bring more abundance into every aspect of your life. There is a simple technique that doesn't require you to do anything but look around and control your thoughts. Every morning when you wake up think about all the beautiful things around you.  Look at all the things you can be thankful for. Even if your not in the best circumstances you can find things to be thankful about. A beautiful day, friends and family, good health, food, clothing, a roof over your head. The fact you don't live in a refuge camp in some war torn country. If you look around you will find so many things to be thankful for it will be amazing. If you will take a couple of minutes when you first wake up before you do anything else, you could start while your taking that first morning pee. I promise you your day will be so much brighter,  so much more joyful. If you do this before you go to sleep and first thing in the morning, I promise that you will find that you have way more good days than bad days. This really works, try it for 30 days. It may not take that long but that is a good length of time to let the universe start responding to your gratitude with even more things to be thankful for. You will at that point find that good things start snow balling your way. You will find even more things to be thankful for and just like this crazy old man you will find your self grinning all over your self for no real reason at all, because you start realizing that it is a beautifu life. That all that stuff that they are trying to tell you and sale you on the TV doesn't really matter. Politics doesn't matter. Other peoples opinions don't matter. You realize that life is short and fleeting and all that really matters is right now, this moment, what ever is right in front of you. That is where your joy is, not in tomorrow or yesterday but right now, the sunset, your best friend, your pet, what ever is good and with you right NOW this very moment. Look at what is good in your life, be thankful and more good stuff will come your way.

The best advice I've found

From #Todd Snider~ "the Devils Backbone Hwy Tavern"

She said "Life ain't easy getting through everybody's gonna make things tough on you
But I can tell you right now if you dig what you do, they will never get you down"

She said life's too short to worry
Life's too long to wait
Too short not to love everybody
Life's too long to hate
I meet a lot of men who haggle and finagle all the time
Trying to save a nickel or make a dime
Not me, no sireee, I ain't got the time
               I really dig what I do! How about you?
