Degenerative disease can be avoided...

Nathan Pritkin offered extensive research beginning in the 1970's, telling us that nutrition can beat disease and promise longevity.  Pritkin reports that coronary heart disease, angina, diabetes, arthritis, glaucoma, hypertension, gout, and some cancers are entirely avoidable.  Avoidable.

The price to pay for health?  Return to simpler foods and live a more active existence.  Meaning eat well on a diet of whole foods and exercise regularly.  Head over to my resource page and review detailed literature about restoring health and preventing disease with food and simple activity like daily walking.  Be enlightened and apply the suggestions in your day to day living.  See for yourself how good you can feel.

Read Pritkin's, Review of Medical Literature on Relationships of Various Degenerative Diseases to Diet and Activity, published October 1988.  A page or two can change how you view mealtime.

Be Well.

Nourish in November

Welcome to November!  My Thirsty Thursday topic focuses on 'Nourish', one of my key concepts.  Many of us will celebrate Thanksgiving in a few weeks.  A time for family, thankfulness, and feasting.  Food has become the great American pastime, and as a result of that adoration, many people are living with poor health.

Like it or not, food has consequences.  As a health coach, educator, and alternative healthcare practitioner clients tell me about their love/hate relationship with food.  For those of us living with chronic conditions, a poor diet adds pain, exacerbates symptoms, and can make us sicker.   My challenge to you is to watch the documentary, Forks Over Knives.  After I viewed this film and read the book, The Starch Solution, I chose to follow Dr. McDougall's eating plan and have never felt better.  In the last year I've lost over 20 pounds, eliminated my blood pressure medication, and have decreased the pain and inflammation surrounding my artificial hips.  I ate well before, but not well enough and the side effects from food were harming me.  In a few weeks I'll be upping my game and following Dr. McDougall's 10-day Maximum Weight Loss plan.  Join me.  I'll post my progress, display pictures of my meals, and most importantly -- share my results with you!

Mend your relationship with food.  Dine well and nourish.  Be well.

Make the time


My Thirsty Thursday message is about anticipation.  Fall is a season bringing great change.  We feel it in the air - on our skin - some of us in our bones.  I meet a new orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to establish a new medical relationship...my wonderful surgeon had moved to San Diego and I have been 'doctor shopping'. 

I need a check-up, meaning time for x-rays and the inside view telling me that all is well with my bionic buddies.  I do feel a teensy bit of fear that my morning meditation can mellow and soothe.  Are you taking the time to check in with your physician and manage your conditions?  Make the time, you're worth it.
Be Well,
Tiffany
