Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Vegetables over drugs, and TV

     Here are a few links to health articles that I found interesting.

     It is so nice to know that cardiologists are now starting to prescribe a plant based diet over drugs for heart disease.

     Here is another study showing that watching TV slowly kills viewers.  Every time I am tempted to get a TV, I remember this. I know myself.  It would be too easy to just plop down and watch whatever is on, even when there is nothing on! It is like having junk food always available.

     Here is a new study published in the Journal of Family Practice on plant based diets and heart disease.  Of the compliant group, the event rate of recurrence was 0.6 %.   For the non-compliant group who went back to the standard american diet and standard cardiac care, the event rate of recurrence was 62%.  That is 100% difference!
