"Lord, please bless Nacho with the nutrients and the strength. . ." (Escalato praying for Nacho before a wrestling match in a scene from "Nacho Libre"). This line has been a running joke between me and some of my friends ever since we saw the movie. We end letters with it "may you have plenty of nutrients and strength", we make inquiries in our greetings, "hi, how's it going, do you have plenty of nutrients and strength", and we poke fun at each other's silly slip ups, "I guess you didn't have the proper nutrients and the strength for that". Now I'm basing my whole blog on it because I've found what a huge difference nutrients can make for strength, and not just physical strength but also mental and emotional strength and wellness.
On this blog I'm going to share about my own journey through poor health and mental illness to a new discovery and awareness that has changed my life, helping me to exchange "good nutrition, miserable life" for "best nutrition" and the best all around health I've yet known. I hope you'll find some good information here, some good encouragement and maybe even an entry into a more effective plan for wellness. I'll post recipes, research and links to sites with more of this and then some. Let's get started!
Go for it Julie!! too many people think they are on track, when they are actually buying into the ad world's poisonous messages. Like Wonder bread.... Pepsi saves and sets you free.... and the image of cheese and bagels as health foods. Everybody needs this open discussion. I am 53 and only just finding out how horribly I have been abusing myself with bad food for decades. Now I think I am on track... but I am sure I have alot to learn. Will keep reading your blog!! dad
ReplyDeleteThanks Dad! I really hope more people start paying attention to diet and food sensitivities, especially those who might be suffering from diet related problems. I really wish that more people in the medical profession would pay better attention too, and do a more thorough job for their patients in finding solutions for problems and not just treatment for symptoms.
