I stopped eating red meat and pork ten years ago because I had high blood pressure and high heart rate. I got that down back to normal after a month by changing my diet and taking up jogging again.
I only eat raw wheat germ, organic flaxseed, low fat yogurt, clams and oysters in a can, high fiber cereal, banana, kiwi, berries, salmon, rainbow trout, canned sardines, chicken ( without skin), spinach, kale, vinegar and oil dressing, peanut butter and popcorn. I eat literally nothing else. And my blood pressure is now 100/60 with a heart rate of 65-70.
I don't miss red meat, pasta, veal, bread or cheese. And I use to eat that stuff very often.
I only drink water and decaffeinated green tea I will have an occasional glass of dry red wine.
I snack on cashews, walnuts and dry roasted almonds.
Gave up jogging and just walk now. Walking is healthier for the heart than jogging.
We do most of our shopping at Trader Joes.
I don't live to eat. I eat to live.
I use to eat a lot of ice cream. No more. I tasted a sample in a grocery a few years ago and it tasted like pure sugar. |
