He was a gift…

The last time I posted my ideas here, I mentioned Dr. John McDougall and that I enjoyed listening to this gentleman who always told the truth about health and longevity so we could experience it. This past Saturday, 22 June 2024, he completed his life. In my opinion, much too soon since we all wanted more time, education and caring from and with him.

I had gone to a few of his retreats to learn more about the food that I ate. One was in Kauai, Hawaii. Served the food avoiding meat and dairy during that visit many days in a row was exceptional. What a treat! I was surrounded by others that were focused on the same nutritional principals. It all made sense and made me feel so good. He’d often say, “It’s the food!” He also said, “The fat I eat is the fat I wear!” All this was backed up by research and scientific sources.

A gentleman who gave his all….

Sunday with Dr. John McDougall…

Every Sunday in California, I listen to a presentation given along with a brief talk on a health topic at 5PM Pacific Daylight Time. So if you are in another time zone like the East Coast, convert to your time. It would be 8PM EDT for you. It feels like he is chatting with me in my neighborhood when I listen to Dr. McDougall. If you miss the chat with his daughter, Heather, moderating and wife, Mary, you may catch it later on YouTube. Just search a little bit for lots of excellent information from Dr. McDougall that fits your needs. I’m sure you’ll find something intriguing!

Because I do not eat meat or dairy, growing a garden full of veggies is so much fun when not visiting the Farmers’ Markets or my local Natural Foods Store, Sunshine Health Foods. I don’t have room for a pet cow, pet chickens or a pet pig! And who would want to eat my pets? The beginnings of my cherry tomatoes are growing in my garden. We have planted three cherry tomatoes, arugula , lettuce, Kentucky Wonder Pole Green beans and may find room for a cucumber. Of course, there are always flowers which are food for my soul.

This morning I had a delicious Tofu Scramble! Just had to see how to improve my own Tofu Scramble. Add a few chopped potatoes is a great idea!
