Eat smart?

Now a 'because I care' PSA:

veggies over starch
fruit yet more berries; cherries anti-inflammation
fish - oil your brain up.
...meat - grass fed (I noticed the difference in beef)
~
these things not so good:
grains, flour, dairy - inflames ya (if ya gotta poop though...)
sugar, caffeine, alcohol - moderate keenly

Just a few thoughts from a nutritionist,

Veggies, fruit, and fatty fish are excellent. Berries are great, but the best results come from a variety of colors and types, no one fruit or veg is better than another, they all have different properties. 

Grass fed meat is much better, and often comes from a smaller farm that takes better care of the cattle ( watch Food Inc.)

However, low-fat dairy is very very good for you, and is recommended in 2-3 servings a day for those at risk for hypertension and cardiovascular disease, which is most of America.  Grains are great.  A proper diet should  be 50-55% carbohydrates.  Sorry, but atkins was very very wrong.  The goal with grains is to choose good ones, like whole grains, such as whole weat bread, long grain rice, etc. and to avoid over processed carbohydrates, such as white bread and donuts. 

Flour in general, is just a carbohydrate.  there is nothing wrong with it. 

Not trying to  be a smart ass, just gotta throw it out there.  Glad to see that you care about eating healthy!  : )

I agree with this. 

 

I don't like most types of fish, so I take Omega-3 fish oil supplements.  As for meat, I try to eat mostly baked chicken, turkey, and pork, though I do love a good hamburger, steak, or barbeque ribs.  Everyday at work, I eat a cup of low-fat yogurt on my first break and have a hot cup of green tea on my last break.  My co-workers probably think I'm weird, but I don't care.  :)

 

As for veggies, dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, asparagus, broccoli, or romaine lettuce, are the best, though you should get a variety of fruits and veggies.

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
