Many of us struggle with weight and worry about the consequences of being too heavy. We are concerned about developing diabetes or high blood pressure. We worry about having a heart attack or a stroke. Even if we are determined to make progress, the information available is very confusing. There are hundreds of different diet and exercise recommendations. You should avoid fat. You should avoid carbs. Don’t eat sugar. Fat is not a problem. Adopt intermittent fasting. Eat a plant-based diet. Don’t drink alcohol. Alcohol is protective. High intensity exercise is important. Walk. Do resistance exercise with weights or bands. It is extremely confusing. If you try to do all of it, you may not live longer, but it will definitely seem longer.
Absolutely! Actually, our technology, the Systems Multifunction Computational Electrophysiology Digital Platform has documented the impact of foods and lifestyle on these ancient pathways! Absolutely!
Bill: I have found one sure way to eat healthier is to grow my own vegetrables, and in quantity. I eat tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, squash, corn and fruits from my garden/orchards throughout the summer and fall (and soon eggs), 2 or 3 times a day. This cuts way down on my carbohydrate intake, especially my intake of processed sugars. Everyone can do this, even those who have only a patio to grow from. I’ve found the availability of these natural and organically grown foods is a big spur to eating them on a daily basis!
I think that you make a terrific point. Eating real food is one way to say it. Another is that we just don't eat enough fruits and vegetables. Adding those healthy foods cuts down on eating the fast food and processed food that makes us sick. It is food as medicine. I took a stab at growing tomatoes and squash on my porch this season. Let's just say I learned a lot and will take another run at it next year. Anyone who has a sunny spot in the yard can go highbush blueberries. A single mature rabbiteye blueberry plant can produce 20 quarts of fruit. No insecticides or antifungal treatments required.
