Oh yea, so I finished my last paper for school... YAY ME! I needed a break from my studies to focus more on this food stuff. I have ordered about 8 more books.. (I know, I'm way too obsessive about good foods now) and now I actually have time to read them!
I went through and read some of my previous posts and I can't believe what a change a month makes with making new habits. It is starting to come naturally to me to pick healthy foods. I'm considered a regular at the local co-op (natural health food store) because I am there so frequently.
In the last post I mentioned that I received the movie dying to have known. As soon as I opened it up I saw that it was so scratched that it wasn't even watchable. So frustrating.... but.... I found it online. I have found several things online. In fact here is an email I have sent to a couple people that discusses some issues better than I can...
http://www.hacres.com/ <------ this is a really good site for recipies and they even have a 60 days to health eating that shows you videos on healthy stuff. (I VERY HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS ONE... the people in the videos are a little weird...but there is a lot of educational stuff in it...)
Movies to watch:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rixyrCNVVGA&feature=youtu.be <---- a quick but good thing to watch about GMO's I never knew about this before.
"Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead <----- awesome to watch, about a guy who got rid of his disease in 60 days by juicing fruits and veggies
Forks Over Knives <--------- Talks about healthy food - Mind changing!!!
The Gerson Miracle http://www.hulu.com/watch/180363/the-gerson-miracle - Power of food.... healing
Dying to have known ( watch here http://www.youtube.com/movie?v=DoUl7F7dWdE&feature=mv_sr ) <---- Awesome study about the power of food and healing abilities!
The Beautiful Truth (http://www.youtube.com/movie/the-beautiful-truth?feature=mv_e_rel ) <----- another study on the power of foods healing ability.
Simply raw - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqLR9U5u6LY how people cured their diabetes just by what they ate...
This should get you started...
A good book to read is "The China Study" or "Eat to Live"
Let me know if you need more info.. :)
Love ya
I decided I needed to post that email because it has helpful videos and books to get people started.
I found out today that my Mom comes and visits my blog too. That made my day. She told me to keep it up because people are listening. Granted, I only have 4 official followers, I obviously have other stalkers out there... (chuckle). I found that to be true because I have had several people calling me asking me questions about eating healthy and wanting to know more.
Hopefully my mom isn't offended by this statement but in a text she said, "trying not to feel guilty for not feeding you kids healthy foods." I hope that this blog did not come across as blaming ANYONE for MY own bad habits. Here are my thoughts. When you are kids, yes, your parents dictate what you eat usually. As adults, you can break habits and some adults learn new bad habits that their parents are not to blame for. Here's the thing.... once you are an adult, you are capable of learning and relearning information. Life is a work in progress and at no time should a person feel like things cannot change. Everything can change. We (ourselves) are in charge of our own lives and our individual habits....but it takes education. If no one tells us, how can we know? Certainly if I had known about soy formula, I wouldn't have given it to my baby would I? My Mom did the best she knew at the time to feed us kids and I turned out to be a darn good cook because of it. Now I am able to use that skill to convert favorite meals into healthy meals that still taste awesome and regular people still will eat too.
So, if there is any confusion out there... I hope that cleared the air. Let's not feel guilty for past decisions. Lets feel AWESOME about our current decisions. I've decided that someday down the road if I ever write a book about healthy eating I want to call it "Give Me Reason." Kinda lame maybe, but I really find that it is much easier to make decisions about our health if we have information to base our choices off of.
I left out a few topics I wanted to add, but it gives me things to write about a little later...
For now... this is Jamie J, signing off...
