I would agree but I have going on 29yrs now a quadroplegic son (trach/g tube) medically fragile son who requires 24/7 care and just finding someone at an RN trained level for a break is not easy let alone if I die no facility could give him the level of care or even except him due to that level of care.
So I have a dif agenda for sticking around.
If I am ever left alone on this earth without him I will live a bit freer and die hard. ; P
So do all you can to care for him as long as you're able. Part of my point though, was that stressing over a lot of the health stuff in the news these days, adds stress, and stress is more of a killer.
I eat what I want, when I want, and I eat until I've had my fill. Even if that means leaving food on the plate. And I usually eat more smaller meals day than a few large ones. And the meals themselves are not balanced per se, at least in one sitting, but over the course of the day.
If you look back on human history, you find we're pretty much acclimated to a feast and famine sort of existence, with most of the middle time being eating small meals of whatever is available.
It is really a recent development that gives us the 24/7 availability of food we enjoy today.
I don't really follow my eating habits out of any particular conscience program; it's just how I feel. Meaning, my body tells me what it needs and when. I try to listen. Not that I don't over indulge in thing from time to time. And I'm not saying such a philosophy is for everyone, but I think it works for me.
