Aren't carrots high in sugar? Not a wise regimen for people watching their sugar levels.
Pinging Paul Harvey...
I have a Jack La Lanne juicer. I juice two carrots, one apple, a slice of ginger root, and a small amount of parsley. Yummmmmm.
I have a elderly next door neighbor. She was so concerned over cholesteral eating boneless skinless chicken, no red meat, yet she over looked the whole picture. We need to round out our diets, and hope for the best. Even with the best of foods, we can still have health problems. Just hell going blind though.
From the article:
Vitamin E is found in whole grains, vegetable oil, eggs and nuts; zinc in meat, poultry, fish, whole grains and dairy products; beta carotene in vegetables such as carrots, kale and spinach; and vitamin C in citrus fruits and juices, green peppers, broccoli and potatoes.
Why, this looks like my grandparents' diet. Do you suppose they were onto something??
These health foods are fine as long as you wash your mouth out with chocolate three times a day.
The death rate among Humans, world-wide, remains at a constant one death per Human.
Bummer.
Very old news. The medical establishment is so far behind the nutritionists it's pathetic. For even better results, add the amino acids LUTEIN (no, Paul Harvey fans, it does NOT have to be the "Flora-Glo Lutein" his Hi-Health pills contain), taurine and glutathione. THEN we can add the anti-oxidants pycnogenol and/or grape seed extract and the herbs eyebright and bilberry.
Remember, most MDs, especially those trained in American med schools, have had NO MORE THAN 5 HOURS OF NUTRITION CLASSES IF ANY AT ALL, yet they are totally at the mercy of the pharamaceutical industry which bombards them with tons of literature and dozens of presentations every year. So do your nutrition research ELSEWHERE. Caveat emptor!
BTW, smokers CANNOT convert much beta carotene into vitamin A, if any at all.
Sorry I'm grumpy; I can't seem to sleep.
A friend of mine in his 80's had macular degeneration. It was sad because he had an active mind and had always enjoyed reading. For a while he was able to use special viewers to enable him to read, but eventually even they became ineffective. It's something to avoid.
Blueberries are alway great on cereal.
