A brand-new pyramid’s been built,
Which might give us conniptions,
But this one’s made by just one man
Instead of the Egyptians.
Unlike the older version, which
Endorsed a healthy diet,
This time we’re pushed to eat red meat,
Though vegans may not buy it.
Aside from steak and burgers,
Whole milk cheese and foods like that,
We’re being told we should indulge
In saturated fat.
The Heart Association thinks
This puts us on the track
For many more Americans
To have a heart attack.
But hey – this is our country now,
A topsy-turvy land,
With lunatics and blowhards
And their minions in command.
Silly scientists have captured 328 human breath samples. Analysis of the samples shows this gastric exhaust contains methane. Alarmed, the silly scientists say "stop breathing, or start eating a healthy diet of bugs." Silly scientists have not yet studied the emissions of human farting and its effect on Global warming.
You are not frozen
In what would be winter's cold
Snowman in a pond
Autumn leaves glued back
Back on the branch of a tree
By the widower
Facebook should protect
For all the girls in the world
A healthy diet
"A beautiful mind
Dreaming of wild princesses"
Said the frog "have I"
Dates make us wonder
Love tree fruit fruitful for me
Or for another?
Dating a poem
Inspiration on our lips
Ink between our teeth
Are words innocent?
Gods made people kill lovers
Whose words woo those Gods

Dreadful diet
But I'll deny it
I’m a hypocrite
One banana split
Won’t hurt a bit
But as I go to sit
My jeans seams split
I’m not proud of it
Healthy diet
I will try it
Must grill it
Not fry it
Buy gym kit
I must commit
And not quit
Lose weight… quite a bit
Now my clothes fit
I’m proud of it!

I wake up early Monday morning
still cold and dark outside
eat my breakfast, take my pills
sit and wait for my ride,
arrive at the center
get comfortable in my chair
like I do 3 times a week
thankful t hat I'm there
I come to every treatment
I never show up late
I eat a healthy diet
and watch my fluid intake
This isn't the life I chose for me
but I have to tell you this
I wouldn't be sitting here today
if it wasn't for Dialysis.
God is the architect of the church's history
take a look at scripture testaments old and new
Psalm 78 reminds us to not forget Gods works
1 Corinthians tells about Israel's failures, not a few
Church history is for our encouragement
telling of God's heroes of faith in time
showing how the Lord blessed each one
He can bless us to walk truly in line
There are many lessons to learn as well
the church's mistakes need not repeat
for what is not remembered in the past
is prone to repeat sadly in every street
Reading church history helps keep eyes open
especially in this age being spiritually dark
to read only modern books weakens our guard
more profitable reading ages past to hold our mark
Church history makes us true realists
seeing heroes of the past had feet of clay
for every age, the church is full of sinners
so persevere in the truth till the eternal day
So read a healthy diet from Pentecost
right through all the ages to now
use your knowledge of all that's past
to serve God better in the present plough
Every morning, all my life,
I drink a glass of juice.
It helps the pills go down
And it is healthy, you’d deduce.
But as I just discovered,
If you did, you would be wrong,
For fruit juice in a healthy diet
Just does not belong.
It’s filled with sugar, so much so
It’s worse than drinking Coke.
How awful when assumptions
You have had go up in smoke!
A fruit in its entirety
Is best, the experts said,
So it would be much better
Eating oranges instead.
This knowledge is engaging
But I’ll cling to this excuse –
I’ve survived this long so I will stick,
Each morning, with my juice.
Sticking to a healthy liquid diet,
I dutifully take grandpa's advice
Eight goblets of brandy for night's riot :
Be careful, he laughs, " migraine is the price!"

I once knew a poet named Cecile
Call her skinny and hear her spiel
I'm petite with small bones
I have fat and rolls she groans
If I called you names how'd you feel
So she decided things had to change
Lifting weights at first felt strange
Her trainer pushed gently
Encouraged intently
Her life she happily rearranged
Now building bone density and power
Her muscles sprouting like a flower
Strength is now her friend
Workouts are now her trend
It takes discipline and willpower
No longer thin rather lean and fit
Liking the changes she does admit
Active body and mind
Healthy diet combined
This lifestyle she'll never quit

Having Two Faces
This person takes vitamins, when a healthy diet is all they need.
As they hog the land, just to exercise the night away.
And one who pays, when they just read.
Or the people that act kind, but mean things they say.
Injustice has a name!
Twenty years in prison, detained because he refused to kill
his fellowman in wartime, was against his conscience and will.
Twenty years in prison, arrested without real cause
freedom of conscience there, means nothing at all.
Twenty years in prison, not even charged with committing a crime
With the whole world watching, now they are running out of time.
Twenty years in prison, without even having had a trial
Without any human dignity, experiencing all that is vile.
Twenty years in prison, he's languishing in squalor
government officials not answering, they have no valor.
Twenty years in prison, even warned by the UN and others
but they keep on arresting even children and grandmothers.
Twenty years in prison, subsistence living, no healthy diet
what if it happened here, would everyone keep it quiet?
Twenty years in prison, the world says enough is enough!
Yes injustice has a name...it's called ERITREA!

Very low carb diet is any diet requires less than 50 grams of carbohydrate per day
Eating a healthy diet on this level of carbohydrate restriction is impossible
If you tried
You’d be eliminating too many foods rich in vitamins
Minerals
Fiber and cancer fighters
Getting essential nutrients from foods is always better than getting it from supplements
Moderately low-carbohydrate diet
Such as this one
Includes 100 to 150 grams of carbohydrate per day
The minimum level to prevent loss of clean tissue from muscles
Organs
A high carb diet
Includes more than 250 grams of carbohydrate each day
This is appropriate for active people who are at a healthy weight
No matter how many grams of carbs you eat everyday
Fruits
Vegetables
Whole grains
Legumes and pasta
Should be the main food sources of carbohydrates
With added sugar sources kept to a minimum
My failures are rough but teach.
My errors, windows to truth.
Before discovery, I don’t hear the Greek,
“Eureka!” but “Huh…?” How uncouth!
Meeting a contradiction, I reach,
What the Author intended to auth,
Does this mean this world has a mean streak?
No, I think after hard work must ensueth,
Humility, for man needs help to be meek.
Having leg pain
May mean legs not getting
Proper blood flow
Called Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
What is PAD
With PAD arteries that carry blood to your legs
Feet or arms clogged with fats, others
Can slow or even stop blood flow
Common sign of PAD leg pain or cramping
Pain comes when you move
As you Walk, climb stairs or exercise
May go away when you rest
Treating PAD
Healthy lifestyle can help
Provider may ask you to
Get regular exercise
Eat a heart healthy diet
Quit smoking
Important to control problems
Like
High Blood Pressure
Unhealthy cholesterol
Sometimes medicine
Surgery is needed for PAD
