Oops. Not through yet...
I heard a physician say one time that there is no medical condition that is not helped by good nutrition.
But it occurred to me that because you are trying to get phytonutrients into each and every cell, it will probably take a year or two before the good nutrition can really start to make a difference.
So it would be a good idea to start now.
You know?

Cellular Health
I recently had a discussion with a friend about my nutritional philosophy. In the course of the conversation, I discovered that I can boil it down to a single concept - cellular health.
The way I figure it, if you have healthy cells, you will have healthy organs, and those healthy organs will work together harmoniously. You will be healthy and happy for a long, long time.
The way to have healthy cells is to give them what they need - energy and nutrients. Energy so they can function. Nutrients so they can function smoothly. Where do you get this energy and nutrition? Plants. It's that simple.
Last week I bought some chard - had never eaten it before, and decided to try some. I know that it is packed with phytonutrients. I cut out the heavy main rib from each leaf and steamed the remaining leaves for ten minutes. It was VERY good. I'll be doing that again.
And if you don't like to eat fruits and vegetables, the best backup I can think of is Juice Plus+ capsules. Even if you are doing your best to get the nine to thirteen daily servings of fruits and veggies, like me, but can't quite get there (like me) you can take Juice Plus+ and know that you are getting the nutrition you need.
My objective is to learn to prepare and eat enough of a variety of fresh fruits and veggies that I do not need anything additional, but I have to admit that Juice Plus+ is a VERY convenient way to get nutrition.
Be good to your cells and they'll be good to you.

Frustration and Satisfaction
Jeb and I took possession of the Yankee over a week ago, and I have yet to fly it. The insurance company placed restrictions on us - we have to get checked out by a qualified instructor before we can solo in it. The instructor has to have at least 300 hours total time and 15 hours in Yankees. We called all over the place trying to find someone qualified. We thought we were going to have to travel to San Diego where a flight school has a Yankee trainer. Finally we found a guy right here in Tucson at Ryan Field, but he can't instruct us until this Thursday - day after tomorrow.
Airplane ownership is not different from what I expected, though. I never expected that plane ownership would be like automobile ownership, because you don't just jump in a plane and fly into the sky without lots of preparation first. I figured there would be delays while all the pieces were put into place... the hangar, the purchase, the FAA paperwork, the aircraft registration, hull and liability insurance, and now training requirements.
But you know what? I own an airplane, and it is a good feeling to know that I have achieved another life dream.
