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...

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

Doctor’s Orders: Eat Well to Be Well

OAKLAND, Calif. DR. PRESTON MARING was striding along a hospital corridor at double speed on a recent Friday morning, his tall frame, white hair and frequent gesticulations prompting waves of greetings from colleagues, who also took care to sidestep his forward momentum. His destination was the weekly farmers’ market he started in 2003, just outside the front door at the Kaiser Permanente medical center here. “Since it’s mine, I made the rules — all organic,” he said as he skimmed by a line of stalls where fresh fruits and vegetables are sold to hospital workers, passers-by and even, he said, those bringing patients to the emergency room. Dr. Maring, 64, a gynecologist and obstetrician with three decades as a surgeon, is well known as a former physician in chief at the hospital, the man who spearheaded the creation of its new pediatric neurosurgery unit. But increasingly, his reputation and perpetual motion revolve around his conviction that in the health professions, the kitchen must

It is hard to eat and drink healthy, but it can be done.

Healthy eating is certainly not for everyone. For most it is too difficult to rid unhealthy food addictions. Temporary taste satisfaction is more important than thinking of health for the long term. I grew up eating all kinds of animal foods, plus sugary, salty, oily junk foods as well. These unhealthy addictions are not easy to give up. Babies/children raised on healthy food and drink alone have a great chance for long term health. But that does not mean adults who've been raised on unhealthy food cannot make the switch. Some people like myself are forced to eat healthy because of illness. I have Crohns Disease (which by the way comes from drinking cow's milk/eating dairy products). I took the doctor's pills for 2 years after the initial diagnosis. Then I learned what is healthy and what is not, changed to a healthy diet, and was able to stop taking all pills. If I continue to eat healthy there is no need to take any pills whatsoever for Crohns. (The only "pill"
