If eggs were bad for you, I would be dead.
I eat just under 2 dozen a week.
45 y/o male, excellent blood test results.
Pork brains
Your ancestors most likely. The type of cholesterol in your blood determines a lot. Mine is not sticky but I have old arteries
Do you eat “Paleo”?
The genes always prevail, unless epigenetics are activated in one’s favor.
I’m just about the exact same but lower HR and age. (mid to upper 40’s and 45y/o)
I gave up Twitter a month ago. Blood pressure down 40 pts.
I read a few years ago that the egg contains an enzyme, Colene, which helps to break down the fat in the egg.
It truly is the "perfect" food.
No I eat some bread/pasta, beans once in a while and consume dairy and sugar but I am increasing typical paleo type foods.
Never been big on highly processed foods aka things that come in boxes, frozen dinners etc. I need to take over shopping again because that’s all my wife buys, Easy Button items.
It isn’t cheap to eat right though. I just bought 10 Hawthorn trees from our State Nursery. Supposed to be good for all things Atherosclerosis related. https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-527/hawthorn
Been trying to get hazelnut bushes/trees from them but even seven days after they start selling, they’re sold out of those, elderberry, Paw Paw and most all other desirable things.
Could take the Hawthorn supplement but that’s not much different than refined/processed foods imho. You miss out on all the things they strip out of the plant when they make an extract.
Going to grow shiitake mushrooms again next year. I did it once several years ago but did it at the wrong time of year. Eventually got some but not many. They grow pretty good here in the Ozarks and I have a deep gully that’s shaded all year and moist most of the year. I put baby bella mushrooms in my salad now but shiitake “may” help with Atherosclerosis and other things. https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-680/shiitake-mushroom/ai/ingredientmono-680/shiitake-mushroom
No insurance and although I’m not super religious, I do believe God put everything we need on the planet so I’m forgoing the prescription route and going with whole/wild foods more and more. Need to get my high tunnel put together so I can grow something green almost all year.
Got three meat goats, two does and a buck and they should be breeding this month which will give us probably four kids in February. Crazy animals have babies in the coldest part of the year. Any bucks will be going in the freezer when they’re 60 lbs or so. Super lean, no hormones or antibiotics, not grain fed. If we get four does, all the better for building a herd faster. The goats will become income at some point.
I also believe in getting everything naturally unless it’s something like cancer. We still don’t truly comprehend the interplay of phytochemicals, antioxidants, and our health.
I hope you get your 4 does, and a large bounty of mushrooms.
Take care.
:)
Liberals eat rocks and twigs. People eat food I including those on that list.
Come by anytime! I make great cheesy grits and fried green ‘maters, along with your choice of eggs (whichever style), and bacon, ham, or steak. Round it out with toast and freshly squeezed orange juice! It’s the kind of breakfast you live for, and the kind my siblings request when we visit (or vacation) together! ;-)
Loved that guy.
Omg, I haven’t thought about that story in quite a while. My then boyfriend (now husband) had a college professor that told the story of the chicken and the pig in order to get his students to commit to a certain project, and to not just be a contributor.
I have used that same story for lessons with our children, though that was many moons ago, and when the professor’s story was still fresh in my mind. I’m going to have to use one that from time to time again.
“Now I have to worry about my mother’s death from cancer at 63.”
Good luck. There are some things we can do, but as a doctor told me, “It mostly depends on who you picked for parents....”
In my case, all my family on my Dad’s side lived into their 90s (except Dad, who died in Vietnam). On my Mom’s? They lived long but all had cancers and heart issues. Didn’t kill them, but crippled them.
“except Dad, who died in Vietnam). “
I’m sorry to hear that. I can only imagine what that would be like, even though I did spend two years of my childhood with my father in Vietnam watching Walter Cronkite giving the casualty reports every night. Part of mine and my father’s difference in lifestyle (for lack of a better term) was his two tours in Korea and two in Vietnam. Even though I retired from the Navy I had no experience remotely like four combat tours.
