My wife is in her fourth year of a condition similar to Parkinson’s, and she is having a very hard time; breathing is becoming difficult. I came to Christianity late in life, and have never asked anyone to pray for anything. But I would be extremely grateful if you could pray for.

At 67, the majority of my diet is beef, seafood, veg and some berries. I've lately gotten serious about being leaner - at 6' 4", now at 194 lbs., 10 lbs. down from a month ago. Lift 4x per week. Remarkable how little one needs to eat. Decent lunch at noon, smaller dinner at 6.

Eckhart Tolle has pointed out that all day, every day, we "rank" moments. Generally, we rank the present moment as perhaps a 2 or 3 out of 10. Young people tend to give future moments "10" status. Older ones grant "10" to past moments. But what if you gave this moment a "10"?.

There are 700,000 cattle ranches in the US. Synthetic hyperprocessed pseudo-beef would be made in a dozen factories owned by one or two companies. It’s not just a battle between healthy and unhealthy food. It’s also between centralization and decentralization. Eat beef.
Bill Gates is trending because of his wish to impose "synthetic beef" on the West. But he's certainly not the only billionaire telling us to drop real meat and buy imitations instead.

Arguing that "carnivores kill cattle but vegans kill field mice" is the wrong way to compare the two, as it draws a false moral/environmental equivalence. Monoculture crops are vastly more devastating than the "dead mice" argument suggests. To understand why, you need to grasp. .

Not one American in 100 knows the horrific history of starvation under Mao, which not coincidentally resembles the starvation under Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il and other communist tyrants. They should know, but schools don’t teach it. Ask yourself why.

So one must believe hominids ate toxic saturated fats over 3 million years of evolution, until the great day roughly 100 years ago when we learned to extract healthful unsaturated fats out of seeds. This absurd idea persists only because seed oils are obscenely profitable.
Getting ready to try the next fad diet? Maybe you should think again. A doctor writes on how to be healthy, and describes the steps in just 48 words. Don’t smoke. Get vaccinated. Avoid trans fats. Replace saturated fats with unsaturated if you can.

Bowel movements don't lie. Meat requires the body to expel little waste, indicating it finds utility in virtually all that's eaten. Plant-based diets make it work inestimably harder to expel valueless bulk. The fact that the latter has been equated with health is astounding.

Virtually every American who embraces a low-carb diet represents a humbled, changed mind - because this information was essentially nowhere in academia or the culture 10 years ago. I admire anyone who makes change, but I particularly admire dietitians with the integrity to do so.
It’s painfully obvious that what I.learned in the 90's & religiously practiced as a dietitian wasn't making.me healthy! I believe that years of a HCLF diet with lots of cardio resulted in hypothyroidism, PCOS, miscarriages, weight gain, arthritis, memory problems and rapid aging
