Nod To Andrea

Hippocrates was really good
At curing most ailments with food
Your body knows best
Put it to the test
And choose food which best suits your mood!*

*e.g., a pregnant woman choosing sauerkraut ice cream

:) Andrea and I share our thoughts on diets. It's funny how pregnant women have cravings for odd combinations of food. Hugs, Carolyn

To me, it is absolutely amazing how pregnant women innately seem to know what food contains the nourishment their child needs even when, like sauerkraut ice cream, it isn't on the market! Someone should write a book about it! Aloha! Rico

The pungent bit is the centre-green core; if that is removed before grating/heating you can enjoy the garlic with no fear! Aloha! Rico

Hippocrates did not know everything, that is for sure. Thanks for the nod, Rico. Although I eat healthy, I allow myself organic popcorn or other healthy snacks from time to time. Man cannot live by vegetables alone. heeehee

As a pre-WWII senior, I have lived a long, healthy life by avoiding snacks, vegetables, processed food, and the advice of advertisers! Aloha! Rico

It depends on what kind of diet you're on. My husband loves salty food but he has high blood pressure so salt is a no no. A good write Rico. God Bless, JB

Food need only be nutritious, but Americans insist it must also be tasty. An egg is naturally nutritious, but most Americans won't eat one until it has been transformed into a chemical bomb with salt/pepper/catsup, etc. It takes time for bodies to adjust to chemicals, preservatives, et al.
