Blog Day # 130 in a day of my life. "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!"

     All through my early life, ( A LONG TIME AGO!) I had heard the saying's YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT and A APPLE A DAY WILL KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY! I really never paid much mind to them, I liked apples, always going to the neighborhood apple trees to grab a sweet and juicy yellow apple or the tart ones- one bite-pucker up and throw it away! LOL

    I always loved veggies- but they always were cooked. We never thought about how you loose all the nutrients when you cook them. I remember bean and ham soup. Friday nights were meatless as we were Catholics.

    Sundays were always roast beef , mashed potato's, gravy, boiled onions, some veggie and pie for desert. We always drank milk- no pop or soda. A typical family- peanut butter sandwiches, hardly any snacks, and no fast food. So where did I go wrong? By age 50 I was on cholesterol med. High blood pressure meds. and acid reflux meds. !




I GOT CAUGHT UP IN WHAT HAS BECOME THE FAST FOOD DIET! I WAS HOOKED-PIZZA-MCDONALDS-WENDYS-BURGER KING- YOU NAME IT- I WAS THERE! I STARTED DRINKING SODA(POP), SWEET DRINKS- SUGAR IN MY TEA OR COFFEE.
YOU SEE, I HAD BECOME A FOOD ADDICT! NOT ON PURPOSE- BUT BECAUSE IT TASTED REAL GOOD AND SMELLED EVEN BETTER.



MY KITCHEN WAS WHAT WAS FAST , CHEAP AND TASTED GOOD! AND IT WAS SHOWING, EVEN THOUGH I WAS ACTIVE, PLAYING BASKETBALL, SOFTBALL, GOLFING, ANY SPORT THAT THERE WAS I WAS INVOLVED. BUT I WAS PUTTING ON THE POUNDS! I DID NOT KNOW WHY? I THOUGHT I ATE GOOD. YEAH, I ATE GOOD TASTING THINGS. I WAS HOOKED!



LOOK AT THIS PICTURE- THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME! I LOVED QUARTER POUNDERS, USUALLY TWO OF THEM UNTIL THEY CAME OUT WITH THE DOUBLE QUARTER POUNDER!

                                         I DID NOT KNOW- NO ONE IN OUR AREA KNEW!
WELL, AT LEAST NO ONE I KNEW DID. WE ALL WERE THAT WAY, NEVER EVEN GAVE IT A THOUGHT!



IT TOOK ME UNTIL I WAS 56 YEARS OLD- MANY DIETS- TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT-GOING TO THE DOCTOR EVERY SIX MONTHS-PRESCRIPTIONS BECOMING STRONGER-INCHING TOWARD DIABETES, THINKING I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THINGS IN MY LIFE.      I WAS SLOWLY GETTING WORSE, AND NOT EVEN REALIZING IT!

WHEN WE FOUND JUICE PLUS, FIRST HING I LEARNED-IF I WANT TO AVOID DIABETES- GET RID OF THE SODA(POP)!  IT WAS INCHING ME TOWARD FULL BLOWN SUGAR! READ THE LABELS, IT ALSO CONTAINS BENZOTA- A PRESERVATIVE'S THAT CAUSES CANCER OF THE PANCREAS AND PARKINSON'S! THEY NOW ARE TAKING IT OUT- BUT THEY MUST PUT SOMETHING IN THERE TO PREVENT MOLD! THE STUDY WAS DONE OVER THREE YEARS AGO IN ENGLAND. I DO NOT DRINK SODA-WATER IS MY CHOICE- TAKE YOUR BODY WEIGHT-DIVIDE BY TWO-THAT NUMBER IS THE NUMBER OF OUNCES OF WATER YOU MUST DRINK EVERY DAY, AND THAT IS A MINIMUM NUMBER!



WE ALL GROUP TOGETHER- WE TEND TO PULL TOGETHER-WE JUST NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT BRINGS US TOGETHER-THE KEY WORD IS HEALTH-WITH OUT IT-WELL YOU JUST DO NOT LIVE WELL! NUTRIENTS-GOD GAVE US NUTRIENTS-ALL NATURAL-NOT MAN MADE-HOW CAN YOU DUPLICATE WHAT NATURE GAVE US AND PUT IT INTO A PILL? BACTERIA WILL NOT EAT A VITAMIN! WHY SHOULD YOU?

THE NATURAL WAY IS TO EAT THOSE FRUITS AND VEGGIES- ALL 9 TO 13 SERVINGS A DAY! THAT IS A LOT- BUT ARE YOU WORTH IT? OF COURSE YOU ARE-YOU WANT TO LIVE-YOU DO NOT WANT CANCER, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, OVER WEIGHT-STROKES- ALL THOSE ILLNESS'S!


FARM RAISED-FREE RANGE-CHICKENS-HOME GROWN VEGETABLE'S-NATURAL!

   ORGANIC!



CHECK THIS OUT-DOES YOUR FRIDGE LOOK LIKE THIS? OURS IS ALMOST THERE! AGAIN- GOING BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THIS BLOG-YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT-YOU ARE WHAT YOU OUT INTO YOUR BODY. IT IS HARD- NEVER HAVE I WORKED SO HARD TO GET BETTER. BUT WE HAVE DONE IT. WE BOTH ARE NOW MEDICINE FREE!  IT TOOK 3 YEARS TO GET THERE-BUT I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. DO I CHEAT? YES I DO- IT IS SO HARD TO RESIST-BUT ONLY ONCE IN A BLUE MOON!  AS I GET  OLDER, I GET WISER, OR SO I THINK- BUT I HAVE LEARNED A LOT- I DID NOT TAKE CLASSES, I SIMPLY READ, LISTENED AND ABSORBED WHAT I HEARD AND SAW! THAT WAS IT.



OUR ANSWER WAS TO GO NATURAL-ORGANIC WHENEVER POSSIBLE-FRESH FARMERS MARKETS-ORGANIC SECTION OF THE STORES-CUT OUT THE SWEETS-BREADS-MILK-DAIRY-REDUCE THE RED MEATS-AND FINALLY OTHER MEATS INCLUDING FISH. BUT , AND I SAY BUT, IT WAS NOT ENOUGH. BECAUSE TEMPTATION IS THERE. I CAN NOT EAT 9 TO 13 SERVINGS EVERY DAY, LOGISTICS WON'T ALLOW ME. WE LIVE IN A FAST PACED WORLD. I HAD TO SUPPLEMENT MY INTAKE WITH SOMETHING THAT GIVES ME THOSE NUTRIENTS.



 THIS IS WHAT WE CHOOSE-IT CONTAINED EVERYTHING WE WANTED AND IT HAD RESEARCH TO BACK IT UP IN WHAT IT SAID IT DID!

I TAKE TWO OF EACH EVERY DAY- 17 FRUITS AND VEGGIES AND TWO GRAINS FOR FIBER. AND THE BEST THING- IT IS NATURAL AND FULL OF NUTRIENTS! I AM NOW BECOMING WHAT I EAT! 6 1/2 YEARS! MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I DID NOT FIND THIS WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT 20 YEARS AGO! I AM 63 YEARS OLD. THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH WONDER HOW I CAN WORK BESIDE PEOPLE 20 TO 30 YEARS MY JUNIOR, AND KEEP UP WITH THEM AND IN SOME CASES PASS THEM! WHY DO I NOT GET SICK LIKE THEM AND GO TO THE DOCTOR-TAKE COLD OR FLU MEDS. ANTIBIOTICS?



                                        THIS IS WHAT I DO--LIVE LIFE TO THE PLUS!

                                                           JUICE PLUS-MY SECRET!
