G-BOMBS

The title of this entry sounds scary. But it isn't at all.
My wife and I were watching a "health" special on Public TV (Channel 21) and the topic was "Living longer and WELL". Naturally, one of THE worst health problems of our time is obesity. So the docs were telling how they help their patients get into better shape: There are two prongs to the attack:
1) Daily exercise (even 1/2 hour of moving is enough); In March of 2013, a lady named Jill Vento of Des Moines, Iowa weighed 370 and was diagnosed with diabetes. She began to walk, a lot. (ten or fifteen minutes, three times daily) and has lost over 200 pounds! Her diabetes and sleep apnea resolved. And everyone at the airport knew her as "the smiling lady" because she was beaming with joy as she made her daily rounds, 5 days a week! Check out her story online (NOT FAKE NEWS!)
2) Better nutrition. That's the tough one; to a large degree because we always focus on what you CAN NOT eat. But if you eat a lot of good stuff, you won't be as hungry for the bad.
G-Bombs is the memory jogger for some REALLY good stuff, with each letter standing for a good group/type of delicious food:
Greens
Beans
Onions
Mushrooms
Berries and
Seeds! Every day, try to pile these onto your plate. You should cook them,
add them to other dishes, or snack on them.
And drink at least 2 quarts of water every day.
