No need to worry about me; I'm as happy and healthy as anyone can possibly be because I've been eating a high fiber diet for decades along with adequate plant based protein. It's a wonderful thing that I would like to share with others. It's there for the taking, anyone can do it. |
villagesPL: I made mention of the above but I did not recommend it endorse it or discount it. I only said that experts keep reversing themselves and now people over age 65 ought to eat more meat protein because the elderly have a more difficult time due to the reduction of absorption. My comments were in relation to getting proper nutrition.
I am no experts but apparently neither are "experts", experts when it comes to diets
I believe that gastro problems are related to genes and personality (i.e Type A's have a tendency to blow out their colons.and that the foods we consume then exacerbate the problem At one time experts told people there was no connection between the body and the mind. i told doctor that there was, and described it as a little pacman bacteria type that proceeded to eat away at the colon. A few years later experts discovered pepitides that connected mind/body which bridged stress as a factor
Many people instinctively know what is happening to their bodies but doctors are scientist and science is never settled. It explains why diets keep changing and given we are biological creatures the permutations of health events is astronomical and only the more conceited would stand in front of an audience and claim to have all the answers .
i will continue to follow the advice of the Greeks..moderation.........
