I was waiting for Mal to queue the discussion about his shakes...

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

What's that supposed to mean, exactly?

They're extremely beneficial.

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

Just that you bring them up whenever you get a chance to, LOL... I thought this was going to be one of those times.

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

Yeah well, they're a damn sight cheaper than medication I can tell you that much - my Dad's blood pressure has gone down so much since he started.

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

I have high blood pressure and take medicine. Maybe I should start drinking your shakes, lol

I would wager a guess though that he has changed other facets of his life besides just drinking shakes.

The smoothies just make it quick and easy to make sure you're getting your daily doses etc.;

I can't stand the taste of Kale normally (I don't mind spinach) but blended in with all the fruit, I don't even notice it. Broccoli on the other hand, nope - no masking that god awful vile weed. You don't *have* to do that, but I do seriously feel that proper nutrition is NOT taught well in schools in the west at all NA, EU etc.)

You don't have to go and do the smoothies like I do if you don't want to, but you might want to at least look up what foods can help. My Dad has really high blood pressure, so that's why he takes almonds and flax seed - it's important to note too that Flax by itself is useless until ground up in a powder, at which point it begins to expire almost instantly - that's where the blender comes in handy. By mixing it in with all the other stuff when he drinks it it goes right into his body - no digestion, just right into the nervous system. His Doc's been absolutely amazed, says she's never seen it this low.


I wasn't really conscious about all this until I took a Food Science class in my senior year of highschool. More recently though I've been looking more and more closely at what's good to eat for this & that;

So sick of seeing all these bullshit adds for Low Testosterone and Broke Dick, lol...

God all the stupid side effects they list off... Seriously, there's a drug for almost everything now that gives you a million new problems to fix *one* problem that can typically be solved (not always, there's a lot of good legit drugs I'm not hating on medical science here) through proper diet...

Low T = not enough Zinc in your diet.

ED can be psychological thing, but it's also a serious warning sign that you have major heart problems - cut down on the sodium and alcohol, and especially anything with hydrogenated oils.

It's absolutely maddening the kind of money people get bilked for every year.

You are clearly a person who has never eaten properly prepared broccoli.

No I have, and I still hate it. Cauliflower too (oh lord the SMELL when you cook it...)

I'm just going to chalk this up to what my friend told me: Canada has the worst produce.

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

I'm with Mal. If it smells bad, I won't eat it. Broccoli, sauerkraut, Chinese food, just ick. No thanks.

[cidbahamut]

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

You guys have no taste.

How can you lump all things that are "Chinese food" in with Broccoli and saurkraut?!?!? I'm with Cid. You guys have no taste... Stick with your chicken fingers, hot dogs, and dried Cheerios, LOL...

[cidbahamut]

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

Sauerkraut is definitely an acquired taste and not one I personally enjoy, but seriously...broccoli? That stuff is great, especially in Chinese food.

[Malacite]

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

Yeah wait, what? I don't see how you don't like *any* Chinese food o.O

[Mezlo]

Re: Time for a change... ((Health stuff.))

broccoli especially in Chinese food.

Gai lan ftw... yum
