Dash For Power

A story going the rounds of the net has brought me an alert from an engineer friend about the perils of diet soda. He has quit and sent a detailed story from a doctor who outlined how the sodium and chemicals inserted in diet soda to make the claim no sugar is creating a poisonous stew that millions drink in some vague sense that it feels refreshing and must be good or they would not sell it, right? Wrong, and we have been there before. The examples in this story were of several women who had MS or some other health problem, but had a habit of drinking diet sodas.

In this story, which seems plausible to me, they reported they were climbing out of their wheelchairs within weeks of avoiding diet sodas. One might hope that in so doing they might have eaten a kiwi or apple instead, and put nutrients, not poisons, in their body. What amazes me in this day and age that with all the information about, and the health advisers who must have been advising these people that the way to health is to only put healthy foods and drinks in your system: they had utterly ignored.

To do otherwise is to imperil your health. They must have heard those stories, and so do we all, and yet continue our foolish behaviors until we are in a wheelchair, a burden to all. Come on folks. We all must row our own boat, and carrying on willfully against all known knowledge defies rules of self respect and carrying your own weight. Some have made their brains so sluggish with the trans fats and toxins of prepared foods they are no longer thinking straight.

Healthy foods, water, teas, even coffee with milk and honey is good. The latest science health studies keep confirming natural foods are best and those ideas are like loose diamonds . Any junk pop or the chips and junk food all go together as naturally as becoming an unhealthy couch potato. That may not have been the case with these folks, although I suspect some of that came into the equation.

But it explains that lot of unhealthy people in line at the grocer, when you see a cart loaded with prepared foods, pops, junk, nary a fruit or vegetable to be seen. When that person gives you a dirty look for making your point with your eyes, tough. Who is going to subsidize her extensive hospital stays and medical visits, while she continues her ways. All we can do is keep talking, pointing out the obvious. Maybe yet the fat lady will look in our basket and ask what all that fresh fruit and vegetables is for. Eating. You should try some, some time.

We would all be better off. For me, luckily, I was not brought up on pop or junk, although like any child I loved sweets. But a plum is sweet. I think for me, and for you who realize you will walk more easily when you have less weight punishing your joints, is to do what I have done. Hold up in front of you the soda pop you will never drink in one hand, and a plum, or kiwi, or your favorite fruit in your other hand. Say goodbye to one, say hello to the other, and live happily ever after. What a rare diamond of an idea.

Use this example every which way: out the door, your exercise machine, or your couch. A wise inspiring new health or science book rather than the escape novel. Get real, fill your lungs with fresh air, your gut with slim foods, your thoughts with good deeds, and smile as if no one notices but you; are you are the true Rare Natural Diamond .
