Thank You for sharing. I appreciate the healthy updates. Your family should be so lucky to have such a forward thinking guardian of good health. Not only are you living well, but sharing such wisdom with others. Cheers to VG for uniting us all. I look forward to the day that i juggle all my silly commitments and it affords me a Whole Foods lifestyle again. It's funny, we just installed a new refrigerator for my Grandmother. But it's still full of butter, sugars, meats, and mass produced items. It is a battle. I hear her choking at all hours of the night and day. I can not tell if she is getting better or worse. Sometimes I think the choking is to get attention. Other times I have found her choking on food and had to help her slow down. Half her food is on the floor after she eats. I finally got her eating kiwis a few times a week. But she is still addicted to crisco, hot dogs, and white breads, and it's no wonder we have to take her to the doctors 3-4 times a month. All they do is give her more pills that make her zone out in front of the tv. Just battled the Aunt on how we need to just let her live/die the way she wants. It's hard helping someone so set in their ways. The best we can do is move on. Help those willing to listen.

When I lived on a cruise ship, we had lots of free food, but it was then that i discovered Forks Over Knives and I never looked back. We would stop in Seatle once a week and I would load up the little fridge in my cabin. Lemon, Ginger, Carrots, Apples, Avocados, and the list goes on with fruits, greens, and veggies. Turmeric, Cayenne, Comfrey, Horsetail, Ginseng, herbs. Yerba matte & green teas. I'll admit I do miss a fresh light roast coffee. But the healthy living is empowering. Forks Over Knives and Infinite Waters Diving Deep. Two terms to search for any other healthy minded souls.
