Light Bulb


Every time you turn on a light, you are shortening the life of the bulb. Every time you turn off a light you are conserving the life of the bulb.

Think of yourself as a 100 watt light bulb. Think of each watt signifying 1 year of your life.
Think of trying to live to be 100 years old: 100 watts = 100 years.

Every time you do something healthy for yourself the light stays off-
you are extending your life.

Every time you do something unhealthy to yourself the light is turned on- you are shortening your life.

In actuality, a person consuming unhealthy substances is "shortening the life of their bulb".
Many people today are hopelessly addicted to unhealthy food and drink, may possibly become sick from their unhealthy habits, and possibly die a premature death because of them.

Sadly, this can be prevented. If you truly want to achieve good health, you need to first educate yourself as to what is healthy and what is not. That is one of the main purposes of this blog:

Making the foundation of your diet plant based plus getting regular exercise is the best way to conserve your watts, ha!, your life.

If you are truly interested in educating yourself as far as what is healthy and what is not, please review past blog entries, and/or read any books from an assortment of "in the know" doctors, ie Joel Fuhrman MD, drfuhman.com, John McDougall, MD, drmcdougall.com, plus a host of others. One such past blog entry is the first chapter of Dr. McDougall's next book:

This presents a solid foundation for a healthy diet.

Adopt a healthy, starch based (rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, corn, grains), plant based diet, and get regular exercise. Your light will shine longer, and brighter. Your light will be a tremendous influence on others. Let your light shine brothers and sisters! I hope you live 100 watts, I mean years!

Please pass the antelope milk...

Image
From a fellow blogger: "Let's really think about it. Why does anyone feel compelled to drink cow's milk? Why would anyone find it necessary to nurse on a cow three times a day? Why not an antelope? Would you be appalled if someone served you a glass of antelope milk to drink? Yuck. But maybe you'd gladly take that cow's milk, containing hormones, pesticides, pus, and any assortment of antibiotics, dioxins, bovine cancer cells- all kinds of bad stuff. There have been countless studies that show milk can have debilitating effects on a wide assortment of people. Kids can have unknown allergies to it. It may even be related to autism when the milk proteins (which humans aren't great at digesting) cross over into the bloodstream and mess with the nervous system. And the whole calcium thing. How does every other animal have strong bones? Drinking cow's milk? No. From the foods they eat. A cow gets its calcium from the grass and grains it eats. But most cows

Ever notice the color of a piece of cooked meat?

Image
By Greg Kaler While still making the foundation of our diet plant foods, my wife and I have gone back to occasionally eating free range ground turkey and wild caught fish. Doctor Joel Fuhrman's stance on 2-3 small servings of animal foods a week did affect our decision: http://greg-foodforthought.blogspot.com/2011/05/to-live-in-most-health-pro-opting-way.html , however I have myself to blame first- my weak mind going back to unhealthy, addictive habits that I've had most of my life. Ideally, for the best health I should not be eating any food from animals. That said... Before going back to turkey and fish I had been a vegan for two years- no animal foods whatsoever. Besides no meat, I was used to no junk foods at all, very low processed sugar, very low added salt. My tastes buds were and are very healthy, very sensitive to the sweetness and wonderful flavors of plant foods. Fruits and vegetables of course are very colorful. When we now cook ground turkey patties, we put only a
