This morning the internet wet
down. When that happened so did majority of all my communications. I use video
chatting a lot to contact my friends and family. I use it more so than the cell
phone because I detest telephones. But, for some reason I am able to connect to
the internet on my cell but not on my computer. So, I am having to reduce to
using the phone without video chat.
As I am writing this I am
speaking with my daughter on speaker phone. She is an interesting person. She asked
me, “Mom, does the left side of your stomach vibrate for any reason?”
How does a mother with a short
memory respond? She looked up her stomach vibration symptoms on the internet. I
just told her, “How very interesting.”
We had been discussing diets. I
told her that a good mixture of food is beneficial for a healthy diet. Do not
think about losing weight, just think about eating healthy.
Seems society wants to place this
stigma on total thinness. Thin people can be unhealthy just as much as people
who are overweight. The idea weight for a person, is the weight they are
healthiest at. We need to eat more to move our metabolism. We need to eat
right, a balanced diet – not like the food pyramid. Well rounded; mainly
fruits, vegetables and proteins. Don’t over eat any one thing. One should take their time eating as well.
Chew the food good. One thing that should be a habit on a daily basis is water.
Drink water when you first get up, before anytime you eat, and at least three
glasses extra. Staying hydrated is extremely important.
Why is all this important? I
don’t know why, I am not a doctor, nor a health professional. I can just relay
what is best for me and that has helped make me stay partially healthy since I
have been diagnosed with several chronic illnesses.
Some of those illnesses is
directly responsible from skipping meals, not eating healthy, too much
prescribed prednisone when I was younger, and stress. I would say alcohol and
tobacco, but there is a 50/50 chance of that. Why do I make such a comment
about alcohol and tobacco after all the studies?
Well let me tell you this….
I have relatives who lived in
their 90s who drank homemade shine and smoked like smoke stacks. The key to
this was eating health and exercise. When I say exercise, I am not talking
about going to the gym and work out. I am talking about gardening every day or
walking to get to where we are going. What is the difference? Fresh foods… not
fresh from the super-market but fresh from your garden. Animals were killed and
cured personally. Women canned their own foods. Preservatives just were not
used. The great-relatives butchered their meat or took it to have it butchered
and filled their freezer. The cost was ½ cow. They had fresh berries (wild
ones); quail hunted; deer hunted; had a community hog killing.
If they wanted to travel, they
walked to town and took the train. Upon arrival, they walked where they needed
to go.
We have become so progressive
that it seems we have progressed ourselves into becoming a lazy society and not
just in the USA but all over world. Our
society has become gluttonous. I don’t mean over eating either. I mean
gluttonous for money—material things as well.
Things that are supposed to make our life easier where in actuality it
has made it more difficult. It is so difficult to the point, our children have
too much built up energy—physically and emotionally. This is where people cannot determine their
needs (what is best) over their wants (material got to have).
Instead of walking to school,
they take a car or a bus. They sit all day long and go for PE or play time. They
don’t even study classic education like they should to help instill proper
thinking skills. These children should be learning to work the earth and not
control it – which seems to be the up and coming thing. God created mother
nature and we shouldn’t fight it or control it, but we should learn to work
with it.
I have rambled enough this
morning.
I do hope everyone has a good Tuesday.
