random thoughts on health

bad bacteria cannot survive in oxygen rich environments, the appendix long assumed to be vestigial may house good bacteria for times of need, although not for me, yogurt contains good bacteria...bacteria(viruses) feed on sugar, starch breaks down into sugar....most americans consume too much starch and sugar, even non meat eaters as we tend to eat alot of pasta, rice, cereal etc....been getting some tasty creations from the dehydrator, and not just dried fruits in fact haven't had any dry fruit, gonna have to talk to someone about that...don't limit yourself with labels-vegan, vegetarian, find a balance that works for you, just not a meat based diet...a friend takes cholesterol medication and not once did his doctor tell him that meat is the only source of cholesterol on the planet...hmmm....but doctors want you to be healthy don't they...don't they???
...the air quality has been pretty bad the last few days from the fires...so hold your breath...

well here we are in the information/technology age...means no excuses...everything begins with diet...your energy level, your mood...as the old addage says you are what you eat so stop eating meat...we've been mislead into thinking that meat is a food group, when the food group is protein. Meat based diets are the biggest killer on the planet and the farm animals that are raised to be killed are the biggest source of greenhouse gases on the planet...hmmm...from personal experience i have noticed the benefits of a plant based diet...and men you don't need viagra and such, just change your diet. As i have evolved i got more and more into raw food and i try to consume 85 to 100% raw food on a daily basis...realize that we are the only creature on the planet that doesn't naturally exist on a raw diet and realize that the largest animals on the planet consume nothing but veggies... i could go on but i want to hear what you think. let's discuss
