No cure like manual work and not sitting on your ass watching TV.
TV? What’s a TV?
There’s a clue.....
I read of a study that had been done about the incidence of Type II Diabetes in the Amish communities and the one comment that stuck out was that the author said that you NEVER find a fat Amish child, ever.
ROFLTMTO,,,you are right on, and the fact they raise and can their own food WITHOUT PRESERVATIVES and CHEMICALS. Gene my rear end. It’s the lifestyle. My grandparents and great grandparents did the same thing, and honored their parents too, as the Amish do and most lived to be almost a 100 back then when diseases were not easily treated. sheesh.
ALSO, the Bible says “honor thy father and mother that thy days may be long upon the earth”....
IT DOES NOT SAY “watch your triglycerides and cholestrol and you will live long.”..
And of that manual labor probably includes growing their own vegetables and meat and dairy.
Aren't they pretty much a self sustaining community? If so, their lifestyle has to be a HUGE factor.
Nothing better than home-cooked veggies, home grown meat or poultry, eggs and milk, butter, cheese, bread. No damn additives too. But damn hard and rewarding work.
I believe that is the key. Plowing the south 40 is more helpful for your heart than denying yourself carbohydrates. Besides the Amish eat a lot of carbs.
Exactly.
