Whats up with FAT?

I want to dedicate this post to the mis-information that has perplexed so many that I talk to, including myself (at one point), in regards to proper nutrition. There are many things that we have been taught that simply are not true. Many have been studied, debunked and are still believed to this day even so. The one I want to talk about here is the "teaching" that fats are bad. I am here to give you the "skinny" on the topic. Truth is, fat has been around MUCH longer than low fat and strangely enough heart disease as a primary killer has only been around 50 or so years. Wow, so bacon and eggs aren't necessarily a bad thing? No, Dr. Cardiologist, they aren't. Unfortunately in this country Md's only go through 2-4hrs of clinical nutrition yet we hang on their every word. Not that all are bad, we just need to WAKE UP and educate ourselves. Fat is essential to EVERY cell production in the body. It is literally what makes up the integrity of the cell wall. What IS a tragedy is the high amount of hydrogenated and polyunsaturated oils we consume. These are what truly should be eliminated, not steak, coconut or avocados. I truly believe God put things on this Earth to be eaten as they were created. I'm sorry but I have never seen non-fat avocados, low-fat butter, or even fat free milk in mother nature. These are creations of man, which in turn shows that WE have created the epidemic. Until we realize this, we are merely trying to maintain, if that. If you really want to educate yourself I would definitely recommend bookmarking this site and reading through its vast amount of nutritional info at your leisure.

It's been way to long and there is so much to catch up on. I would like to start and end with a simple qoute from Einstein...
"You cannot solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it."

Ponder on that...and see you soon!

A Smile is an INVESTMENT...

Most people feel intuitively that the simplest things in life are the most important, or, if you prefer, that the most important things in life are found to be the simplest. This is a very profound discovery. What is more important to us than breathing, for instance?
Another simple thing that is of great moment is a smile. A smile affects your whole body from the skin right in to the skeleton, including all blood vessels, nerves, and muslces. It affects the functioning of every organ. It influences every gland. Even one smile often relaxes a number of muscles, and when the thing becomes a habit you can easily see how the effect will mount up. Last year's smiles are paying you dividends today.
The effect of a smile on other people is no less remarkable. It disarms suspicion, melts away fear and anger, and brings forth the best in the other person-which best he immediately proceeds to give you.
A smile is to personal contacts what oil is to machinery, and no intelligent engineer ever neglects lubrication.
