  So as we get older and you haven’t eaten health for years? Things start to break down and start giving us problems. In my case it all started with Diabetes about 15 years ago. I had always been a Big Guy and never payed much attention to what I ate or how much of it I ate and over the years that bad habit came up from behind me and bit me in the, well, you know.
  It was after a horrible bout with Cellulitis that cause a flaming hot red area of bumps on my crotch accompanied by a just as horrible Yeast Infection that nothing I could get my hand on would cure, not to mention I had started to have to wear Reading Glasses 300 Strength just to be able to see. SO I found myself in the Emergency room before the doctor.
  I told him what I was experiencing and he asked me to show him. Embarrassed but without any other choice I dropped my draws and viola. He took one look and asked me, “Have you been taking your Diabetes Meds?” I replied, “No, I don’t have Diabetes.”
To which he said, “I bet you do.”
  Two Insulin Shots later he was writing me a script for Metformin and I asked him if I would have to take it for the rest of my life. He told me that If I lost quite a bit of weight and started eating right It might help. 6 months later I had lost 100 pound and Diabetes went away but, if only it had been that easy.
  It’s almost impossible to keep a chubby person who was brought up on Tortillas and fried food away from all that. Several years and many, many Tortillas later later I had gained All my weight back and then some. This would happened several more times during the next 20 years.
  If only that was it? Now I’ve been told that I have Reduced Renal Function. What? Yes.
Now I have to to go to a Nephrologists, a Renal Specialist. I can only hope the damage wasn’t a result of my Diabetes and High Blood Pressure and is Fixable.
So I ask you to watch what you eat. Start eating more Fruits and Veggies and Less Red and Processed Meats and Dairy Products. Less Processed White Breads and Eat More Whole Grains. Start a regular exercise program. It doesn’t have to be a huge marathon or weight training just start moving your body every day even if it’s a little.

​Banana Mug Bread

This dessert mug cake is awesome with whipped cream or ice cream.
What you’ll need to create this masterpiece

1 tablespoon butter, melted OR 1 tablespoon of cooking oil
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk (can use regular, soy or nut)
1 very ripe banana, mashed
3 tablespoons of all purpose flour (make sure to scoop the flour out of the bag with a measuring spoon so you get enough!)
3 tablespoons brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

You will need a 12 oz+ mug for this! I’m using a 14 oz mug. Any smaller than 12 oz and you risk running over the edges. Plus, it’s really hard to mix everything in a teeny mug.
Lets use butter. Throw the butter in the mug and pop it into the microwave for 15 seconds to let it melt.
Allow the mug to cool down until you can easily hold it. This will keep you from making scrambling eggs instead.
Add the milk first, then the eggs and mix everything together well with a fork.
Add the mashed banana into the mug and stir everything briskly, to mix well.
Add the flour, brown sugar and baking powder.
Mix this well with the fork again, break up any clumps. Just don’t mix it for too long or you’ll end up with a chewy cake. Microwave for 2 Minutes.
Recommend cooking :Cook the mug cake in the microwave for 1 minute at full power. Stand near the microwave to babysit it - if it starts to rise above the rim of the mug, open the door and let it fall. Once it’s fallen, close the door and begin cooking again.

    After the first minute, check the top. If it’s still wet, put it in for an additional 30 seconds.
    Happy Healthy Holiday Eating.

Better digestion and removal of intestine worms-this fruit also can cure cancer. Recent studies said that eating such fruits can prevent or cure cancer and together with the soda the pH will be better and cancer hindered.
A recent study proved that having 4 or more 150 g servings citrus fruit per week can reduce the risk of throat cancer by 53%, belly cancer 31%, Colo-rectal 18%. Here was not found a link between citruses and breast cancer, but a study in USA claimed that 75 g grapefruit daily can lower this breast cancer risk by 22%. Also, citrus is healthy for us and this was proved in both studies with 600 g weekly, so this is the minimal dose for cancer prevention.
The baking soda can alkalize areas that have metastases and cancer slows down from every organ affected, this was seen in mice that had breast cancer. A study of Cancer Research 2009 said lemons hinder tumors and acidity and thus reduce metastases.
