FOOD OR SOMETHING TO EAT

Food should be nourishing to your body. Something to eat will satisfy your taste buds or ease your mind temporarily. Food can be both nourishing for the physical body and for the mind. Do you feed your mind as often as you feed your body?

Do you feed your mind to develop yourself spiritually and mentally as often as you feed your body to sustain yourself physically.

Do you carefully consider the written materials and visual materials that your mind absorbs?

Do you carefully consider the foods that you choose to eat daily?

Food or something to eat. Foods that nourish, help heal and repair tissues and feed cells or just something to eat to satisfy the taste buds. twink-twink!

BUILD IT OR HEAL IT

It's the last day of April and I was just thinking of what Jack LaLanne said about food, if man makes it don't eat it. When you think about it, everything we eat should to some degree either help to build our bodies or help in the healing process of our bodies.

If we are eating things that are tearing our bodies down, we're helping with the dis-ease in our body. The aches and pains may be signs to us that we need to do more to nourish our bodies with the foods we eat.

Food should nourish our tissues and cells, and help build our bones and strengthen our nerves. It should be fuel to carry us through the day. Perhaps we should give more thought to what we eat. If it's not helping to build or to heal our bodies maybe we shouldn't eat it.

I know sometimes we get a taste for something sweet or salty, but we have to be careful of the foods we chose to eat to satisfy that desire.

Let's choose what we eat wisely to build and heal our bodies.

NEVER TOO OLD

I was reading an article in Vital Magazine, a Michigan health and fitness magazine, about Jack LaLanne whom they call the Godfather of fitness. LaLanne who is 93!!!, was the first to host a televised exercise program which aired in 1951.

LaLanne says that each morning a 6am, he hits the gym and lift weights for 90 minutes and then spends 30 minutes in the pool. He says use it or lose it.

His diet!

If MAN made it, he doesn't eat it.

He says he eats five or six raw vegetables a day, three or four fresh fruits, whole grains like brown rice, fish and a little turkey. He eats twice a day and eats eight egg whites.

Do you have an excuse left?

I didn't think so!!

SURGERY

I was at work talking with a co-worker about the number of women who are having surgery to lose weight. As we talked we were amazed at the number. Every time I would mention someone he would mention someone else and we went back and forth.

Then we both said the crazy thing about having the surgery is you have to give up eating certain foods because they seem to make you sick. It just seems to me that if you are going to discipline yourself after you have surgery, why not do it before you have surgeryI.

At least if you attempt to lose weight by changing what, when, and how much you eat, if you fall off the wagon you wont make yourself sick. Plus you can always begin again and again and again if necessary.

Don't think of losing weight in terms of; I have to start eating rabbit food, lettuce, and celery sticks. I'm going to have to eat a bunch of bland food and I won't be able to treat myself. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Eat more often but eat smaller portions. Eat leaner meats, increase the variety of vegetables and fruits you consume. Make smoothies and other non-alcoholic drinks. Make healthier snack choices.

Include moderate exercise like walking, biking, swimming, aerobics, light weight lifting, yoga or some other form of exercise.

If you start letting them cut on you, you might get an, oops! And oops!, can be deadly!

INSIDE OUT

Building a strong body should begin on the inside of our body's. Just as we build muscle through exercise we Also need to build and repair and nourish our body's. We first have to cleanse our system so that all the food we take in can be digested and the nutrients can be distributed throughout the body for maximum benefits.

One way to get started is with "The Master Cleanser" or "The Lemonade Diet" by Stanley Burroughs.

You can find the book at Local health food stores.

The only ingredients you'll need are Lemons or Limes, pure maple syrup,and cayenne pepper.

Lemons and limes are the richest source of minerals and vitamins of any food or foods known to man, and they are available the year round.

Maple Syrup has a large variety of minerals and vitamins. Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Iron, Copper, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Chlorine and Silicon. Vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, C, Nicotinic acid and Pantothenic acid.

Get the book, it's a must for everybody interested in rebuilding their health.

THE COLON

The colon is about 5 feet long and about 2 1/2" in diameter, better known as the large intestine, and the small intestine is about 20 to 22 feet in length and 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Combined that's about 27 1/2 feet of tissue in our body that is used to digest the food we consume. After everything our body needs has been extracted, it is passed into our blood or lymph system, and what we can't use becomes waste (the boo-boo) composed of millions of dead bacteria and mucus that must be eliminated from our body.

Imagine all the food you consume in the course of a day if you eat three meals a day and the side treats in between meals. Now if you don't have a B.M.(bowel movement), where do you think all of that food is going to be. And if you don't have a B.M. for 2 or 3 days you'll have a backlog of boo-boo.

And that my friend can wreck havoc on your body, having all that bacteria and waste backloged in your system. Think of the plumbing in your toilet. If it gets clogged up and the waste and the water in the pipes becomes stagnant because the toilet won't flush, think of the bacteria that would be breeding in the toilet bowl.

Well if you don't eliminate the waste out of your body it becomes a breeding ground. The boo-boo must be eliminated on a regular basis. That means on a daily basis. Take the time to release it out the slide shoot (my youngest daughter's term ) every single day. A boo-boo a day will help keep the doctor away or you away from the doctor.

Have- you- had- your- boo-boo today!!!!
