Hi,

The best thing we can do for ourselves, nutritionally, is to get off sugar wherever and whenever possible.

Fruits are great, but sugar and fructose corn syrup and the like are bad for everything from our knees to our skin and down to our cells.

If only we could all go back to the basics, you know, the foods our great grandparents ate and such.... and we can attempt this by cutting back on processed foods, and buying fresh food that we prepare ourselves... and organics, if we really want to get serious, when possible and we can afford to spend a few dollars more - and we can because we can cut back on the processed junk, and give our nutrition a serious consideration.

If one doesn't have a juicer, than a blender will do for making smoothies with fresh fruit and a GOOD protein powder that is right for us, as individuals.

Make sure we get our omegas, eat white fish and wild salmon, and those veggies and fruits, and some nuts, etc... and supplement here and there, where needed, and once in awhile we can afford to treat ourselves to other stuff... because moderation is key.

They say the best diet is a Mediterranean one .. and I believe it.

This is the best time ever to go to bookstore or go online to one you like, and view the selection of cookbooks and actually get one... not a diet book, but a book that shows you the pictures of the good dishes, as well as how easy to prepare them, and what to buy.

You can choose from organic, to almost anything that fits your lifestyle.

The best ones are filled with nutritional info, so, I hope you all get a new one just for your health.

I'm doing 'one bite at a time' but that one is for cancer survivors, and adding an anti-cancer diet to my lifestyle.

If that is something you need to do, there is so much good info out there, you will be successful.

If it's getting off sugar, there are lots of books to help make better decisions and recipes to help that too.

If your generally healthy, there are tons of mediterranean diet books out now, because the demand to go back to basics and healthy eating is high right now... it also cuts stress on our bodies and weight too... ( ;

If it's Italian, or wherever our ancestors are from, it's probably a good idea to add some of their nutritional habits and choices into our daily lives because of the inherent ability to metabolize certain foods.

Anyway, it's so interesting when you view food from a health standpoint, as there are no pat answers for everyone... just cut down the sugar for sure, as that feeds the dangerous cells in our bodies anaebolically, and who needs serious illnesses or to feed renegade cells anyway?

Take care...

Peace and Health,
night

p.s. remember to move... add some kind of exercise or dance or something to your lifestyle, walking, a swim, heck, a marshall art... anything physical that is not going to hurt you, but heal you rather.
