Delirious

-
Early this morning, my 8-year-old was complaining in Spanish about her sisters, demanding that I get rid of bugs, and worrying about the quality of her chocolate desserts... 
She was clearly feverish and delirious. After a visit to Urgent Care, she’s feeling much better. Thank goodness! 
We’re chuckling now because she has no memory of acting like a contestant on a Netflix dessert show and insisting that I not eat her. 😜
I pray that you too can celebrate good health and good times with family and friends on this first day of February.
Salud! 🎉🥳🎉

My Fruitive Challenge: Day 100 — Fat Content

-
In Chapter 3 of The Engine 2 Diet , Rip Esselstyn emphasizes the importance of reading food labels. While it's common sense to check labels to ensure products are healthy, Esselstyn highlights that labels often lack critical information. Here’s a paraphrase of his key points: Rule One: Be Skeptical of Marketing Claims Marketing terms like "2% fat," "reduced fat," "fat-free," "healthy," and "natural" can be misleading. These phrases might not mean what you think they do. Rule Two: Study the Nutritional Facts and Ingredients List Always read the nutrition facts and ingredients list of every product. Companies can make a product seem healthier than it is. For instance, a drink labeled "2% fat" might actually contain more than 30% fat based on its calorie content. Let's break down the fat content in milk as an example: 2% Milk: One cup (244 grams) contains 5 grams of fat. On a weight basis, this is 5g/244g = 2% fat. Howeve...

My Fruitive Challenge: Day 212 —Clara Davis Study of Babies Choosing Their Own Food

-
 200.6 lbs I ate light today. It seems my visceral pain has curbed my appetite. We’ll see if the weight scale agrees with that in the morning. I’m enjoying picking up again with Ultra-Processed People. There’s a very interesting report on an underrated study by Clara Davis in the late 20s on babies choosing their diet to prove that humans are designed to regulate their own nutritional intake (Ch 5 p 181). Very fascinating.

My WFPB Diet: Day 261–Sugar Bombs

-
Me: What’s the deal with grapes? Are they a healthy part of a balanced diet or I they sugar bombs to be avoided, as I heard one health expert say? ChatGPT: Grapes can be a healthy part of a balanced diet, but like all foods, their value depends on context and moderation. Let’s break it down: Nutritional Benefits of Grapes 1. Rich in Antioxidants:  Grapes are packed with polyphenols, including resveratrol, quercetin, and flavonoids, which have been linked to heart health, reduced inflammation, and protection against certain chronic diseases. 2. Vitamins and Minerals:  Grapes provide vitamins C and K, as well as potassium and small amounts of other nutrients. These support immune health, blood clotting, and muscle function. 3. Hydration:  Grapes are about 80% water, which makes them a refreshing and hydrating snack. 4. Fiber:  The skin and seeds (if eaten) provide fiber, which aids digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. 5. Low Glycemic Index (GI): ...
