Default Healthy eating

Here is more information about healthy eating:

I thought I would let those who may be interested know that there will be a course about how food combinations and eating affect health and skin at the Life Long Learning College. Norma Jean has spoken around the Villages and will be personally following those in the program toward their goals. Many of us continue to eat out and the course explains how that can be done while still incorporating the above important guidelines that result in a healthier lifestyle. Since I have experienced the benefits of this program, including weight loss, I thought I would pass on the info for this class.
It begins in a week and the class registration is 2519.101..for times and dates.
The college number is 352 753-3035.

NormaJean is a great source of information and can advise you with more details.


I also found this story on CNN's site. Say's a lot about the effect of food on skin. Here is a link.

Hi, quirky, I'm still VPL.

If this is about the blood type diet, I have a couple of books on this subject and tried it for a while. My blood is type O and I'm supposed to be a meat eater, but now I'm a vegan/vegetarian, depending on what day it is.

I have found, through experimenting with both meat and non-meat diets that I feel about the same either way. And my weight stayed the same too. I was at my ideal weight with both diets.

The only thing that changed for the better with veganism was some of my numbers like cholesterol. I had good cholesterol with the meat diet but it got even better when I switched over to veganism. And I must say that I enjoy veganism/vegetarianism better.

Sometime after I started the blood type diet I discovered the book, "The China Study" and I found it very compelling. It recommends veganism for the purpose of preventing cancer and almost all other degenerative diseases.

a must watch documentary (my opinion) available on Amazon prime and other video sites.
The perfect human diet.
Simple and easy to watch. I lost 25lbs and cut my LDL and other numbers by half all by applying what they said. Ate plenty of food and was never hungry.

This lecture is not about blood type eating. It about food combinations that work, like association foods that you might eat In a restaurant.
The information provided makes you aware on the ramifications of importance of the correct combinations to eat.

Psoriasis battle of CNN anchor Zain Verjee - CNN.com

There's some good nutrition information going around and some not-so-good information going around. I went to a lecture a few weeks ago that was given by a dietitian and it was geared toward better control of calories and weight but was not the best nutritional advice for promoting good health.

The advice (before Christmas) was like this: Instead of having a piece of pecan pie, have a piece of pumpkin pie, because pumpkin pie has a lot less calories than pecan pie. It was mostly about making these types of choices while never saying that any food is "bad".

Several years ago, I went to a free lecture at the Wellness Center by a dietitian who worked for a supermarket chain. Of course she didn't say who she worked for but I knew that this supermarket chain had hired about 4 or 5 dietitians who made themselves available to give "free" lectures (free to the public). And of course they would never say that any food is bad as long as it was being sold by their employer.

For example, I asked her if things like soda, candy or pastry are bad for one's health. And she would not say "yes" or "no". She would only say that you can have some as long as you fit it into your daily calorie allotment.

This is not teaching good nutrition, in my opinion. Just because someone can lose some weight, or maintain their weight, doesn't mean they are practicing good nutrition.

I would call it "nutrition malpractice".

jaringg, Thanks for posting this. Can you give us an example of a meal suggestion?

I agree with Villages PL regarding just because one loses weight, doesn't make it actually healthy. Skin improving is a step in the right direction, for sure, so there must be some truly good stuff included.

However, if she suggests white foods or bad fats, I would not be inclined to join the class. I will call the school today, but still thought an example of a meal might help us all determine if it's a good fit for ourselves.

Thanks again.

NormaJean does not suggest a diet, she aims to show everybody what to eat and how,what time and when.
If you would like a sample of her thinking. Take a look at this link.

Forks Over Knives (2011) - IMDb

She also has a blog which has been dormant for several years.

If she follows that line of thinking (Forks Over Knives), then that's a different story. I have been eating that type of diet since about 2006 and I believe it's a good lifestyle/diet.

NormaJean is highly trained. She also done a lot of research about how food effects the body.
You really have to hear what she has to say, it's very enlightening.

Perusing the health thread and your post about NormaJean, I`m glad to hear you have enjoyed some of the benefits of NormaJean`s teachings.

She is recognized for her unique approach to skin health and care by teaching from a whole body perspective. Our outward appearance is a direct reflection of our level of health and rate of aging internally.

She enlightens people through her course of study not just by bringing attention to foods that tend to be of best benefit to human blood and Geno-types, but also combinations of foods that are of greatest benefit to overall health and ultimately beauty.

Another great attribute about NormaJean besides the fact that she really could pass for 20 years younger than her real age is that she also does not believe in absolutes. She presents based upon ongoing expert research, long time experience, and can provide individualized attention on a consultation basis.

She really is a walking/talking example of her level of knowledge and is highly respected in her field.

Has she written a book yet? I would like to read her book, if she has one.
