 Well, it looks like healthcare is just about dead in the water. Which means you have to provide for yourself so to speak. But then that is how America was supposed to be: small government and hard working people. That's another conversation for other blogs so let's get back to healthcare.

1- Government Healthcare is DEAD in the U.S. At least that's what most income tax/property tax paying people in the United States are hoping. The tax burden would crush the middle class.

2- We have to start taking responsibility for our own personal health. You can't smoke, drink heavily and eat anything while expecting the taxpayers to absorb the medical cost of your poor choices. It's time to wise up! Consistently eating fast foods, deep fried foods and refined processed foods is killing us. From the inside out. ARE YOU LISTENING?

We have to increase the amount of vegetables and fruits in our diet or face a death of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. These odds can be greatly reduced by eating a high alkaline food diet. This means eating a diet daily of 50-80% alkaline foods. Find out which foods are alkaline 

Oh yea, That healthcare bill. Maybe it ain't dead yet. Let's poke it with a stick and see what happens...

I read an article this morning about how the H1N1 scare was lessening in most states and cases have been reducing dramatically around the United States. Was this over-dramatized or did all the vaccinations really make a difference? Did H1N1 kill any more people than regular seasonal flu?


This is something to ponder as we prepare for the next viral scare...


Prepare your immune system by eating a diet high in a wide variety of veggies and fruits. Replace the refined starchy carbs in your diet with fresh veggies, fruits and beans.  Eat a High Alkaline Diet Daily

These are the foods/supplements that are at the top of my personal list for my personal use. They are not the only supplements that i use, they're just at the top of my list of what i need to take consistently. Eating a high alkaline food diet everyday takes care of many of my nutritional needs. Its just a matter of eating a wide variety of veggies and fruits throughout the day. I shoot for 50-80% alkaline food daily which leaves me plenty of room for the acid foods i like to eat.

Turmeric is already well known as a dietary "must have" supplement. But here is what a lot of people don't know. Scientists tested turmeric, a concentrated source of the phytonutrient curcumin, along with phenethyl isothiocyanates, a phytochemical abundant in cruciferous vegetables including broccoli. When tested separately, both phenethyl isothiocyanate and curcumin greatly slowed the growth of human prostate cancer cells implanted in immune-deficient mice. In mice with well-established prostate cancer tumors, neither phenethyl isothiocyanate nor curcumin alone had a protective effect, but when combined, they greatly reduced both tumor growth and the ability of the prostate cancer cells to spread in the test animals. With these kind of cancer fighting abilites, it just seems like these foods are something i need to consume regularly.

Fish oil is something that everyone should already be taking. The multitude of postives has been printed everywhere, there isn't anything else to say. Eating more fish is what we need to concentrate on doing as opposed to taking fish oil supplements. Cooking and eating fish that is well seasoned is becoming a standard at my house but we won't eat it fried. Baked lemon-pepper Talapia is a favorite as is Salmon with garlic butter. Good seafood along with a boatload of alkaline veggies make this a popular way to optimize your nutrition. Eating a alkaline food diet

Since losing 80 or so pounds of ugly fat, i feel obligated to evaluate or should i say "criticize" myself on my progress with sticking to the alkaline diet plan. To say it mildly, i am a "fat boy" at heart and I'm not beyond slipping back into my old dietary habits. It takes discipline to stay on track and it does not come without some serious effort. All it takes is the sight of a plate full of macaroni and cheese for me to slip into the sinful delight of culinary adultery!

My wife likes to call me while she is out shopping or running errands and will ask me if there is anything that she can bring me back home to eat (she doesn't care for cooking). Those are the moments that destroy my diet temporarily. I'm getting pretty good at turning down her offers by always keeping frozen veggies available for quick stir frying. My skills for Asian stir fry is becoming legendary and that always beats the oily. gravy-laden stuff that people today call Chinese food.

With all this stuff being considered, i think i am doing pretty well with my alkaline habits. Its been quite a while since i squeezed into size 40 waist jeans and my days as a 300 pounder is becoming a fading memory. The tingling in my hands and feet is gone and so are the headaches that i used to learn to live with. Overall i think it is fair to say that I'm doing pretty good.
EAT A DIET OF 50-80% ALKALINE FOODS

Springtimes usually brings about a renewal of dietary vows as people want to look good in their summer swimwear. After a long winter of eating warm home cooked meals, it may be time to focus on eating cool, raw fresh alkaline veggies and fruits. For me that means more salads. I am extremely imaginative when creating my fruit and veggie salads. I feel more energetic and light on my feet when i have been eating a lot of salads over the course of a few days.

I don't personally endorse a totally raw foods diet but if it works for you then so be it. There is a strong argument that cooking destroys foods and makes them toxic.Between 50 and 80 percent of the vitamins and minerals are destroyed when some foods are cooked. Pesticides and oils break down into even more toxic compounds, which are more easily absorbed into our bodies. Free radicals are produced and cancers are formed.


With all the research available, i still have trouble embracing a totally raw food diet. It is well known from scientific research that heat breaks down vitamins, amino acids and changes proteins to the point where it is NOT usable by the body. This is found particularly in meat and meat products. When food is cooked above 117 degrees F for three minutes... or longer, it becomes becomes less and less nutritious to us.

Disease is caused by toxicity and deficiency of needed nutrients. This is caused by the choice we make to eat foods that are unnatural and missing essential nutrients. The problem is easily solved by removing the toxic and deficient conditions from the body so that the body can heal itself, fight off illnesses, and remain in optimum health. Eating more whole plant foods and taking quality supplements with your meals could help your body rejuvenate itself and become healthier.


With all of that being said, i still continue to eat cooked meals and love the flavor of good cooked food. I will compromise and try to fit more raw veggie salads into my meal plans and i will snack on more raw fruits during the day. Eating cooked vegetables is better then not eating any at all but a real effort must be made to eat them in their natural form. But the truth is that the modern world was raised on hot meals and it will be a hard habit to break. If we can stick to eating a high alkaline food diet and eat a large raw salad everyday then for most of us this is progress. Learn more at EATING-VEGGIES.COM
