After wisdom there is peace,freedom, and focus. Before wisdom there is everything else.
I’m always hearing about how coffee, green tea, roobios, etc. are good to drink because they have a lot of antioxidants and antioxidants slow down cellular decay, cancer, aging etc. In this video Dr. Michael Greger M.D., the director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States ranks various common drinks by antioxidant content. Some interesting surprises! 🙂
Watch this and other interesting videos at Dr. Greger’s site, nutritionfacts.org
Age, education and intelligence do not matter. Mention a trigger word for something outside of the most banal part of the mainstream and you will find at least one adult who will revert to some childlike state to put on a “skit”. Mention that you “take karate” and this person will start making cat noises and parrying with their hands. Mention you take yoga and that person will put their hands together and say “namaste”. Mention legumes and they will repeat some nursery rhyme from childhood.
If you prefer to be an intelligent person and examine the chart above for alternatives to some of the major problems in our country ( heart disease and cancer are the top killers of Americans) you might also want to check out this link which shows you how to prepare legumes properly such that they will not cause discomfort. Help ward off heart disease, reduce your risk of cancer, reduce global warming, reduce other types of pollution, reduce cruelty to animals, lose weight, save money and eat tasty food. Dumb nursery rhymes anyone ? 🙂
Probably for about a decade, Dr. Michael Greger MD has regularly been reviewing nutritional journals and making presentations of what he has learned once a year. He is easy to listen to and often funny. He has created a new site where he has broken up his presentations into short, per single topic videos: nutritionfacts.org. You can also subscribe to the Youtube Channel and get an email every time a new video is posted. Below is an interesting introductory video where Dr. Greger explains how he was inspired to go into medicine, not by anyone getting sick, but his grandmother getting well back in the 1970s after a stay at a Pritikin Center. In other words, he was inspired by how lifestyle medicine could make such a huge difference in a person’s life.
