Healthy Living News & Tips

If you value your health, probably the last place you'll want to go is to a hospital. (unless it's a life or death emergency of course)

Here's why.

A relative recently admitted herself to the hospital because she had trouble breathing (she's in her 90's). While in the hospital, here is what she was offered to eat over a one and a half day period:

• Steak
• Chocolate Pudding
• Ice Cream
• Hot Dog
• Bacon and Eggs
• Jello
• Pork

She has difficulties with her digestion and elimination and when she was admitted, that information was given to the nurses. Of course after the first day of eating these foods, she couldn't have a bowel movement and spent most of the day in the bathroom trying!

Where are the fresh fruits, vegetables and greens that have the needed fiber to allow you to eliminate easily? Why would a hospital, entrusted to 'care for your health' provide such unhealthy meals? Aren't the benefits of fresh fruits, vegetables and greens available to hospitals and health care facilities? This diet alone will shorten your life if not kill you! Certainly not a 'healthy' place to eat.

It baffles me that in this day and age with the common knowledge of the risks of increased animal food consumption along with processed foods that they are almost exclusively what are offered to patients who already have health issues to begin with.

This, in addition to the recent statistics that revealed over 100,000 people die every year from infections acquired while at the hospital as well as approximately 750,000 people dying each year at the hands of our health care system.. and doctors and health care facilities labeled as the third leading cause of death in America.

"The estimated total number of iatrogenic deaths -- that is, deaths induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures -- in the U.S. annually is 783,936. In April the Journal of American Medicine itself reported that 'properly prescribed' legal drugs killed 106,000 Americans each year, due to toxic reactions."

Read more about the Modern Health Care System is the Leading Cause of Death. Going to the hospital should always be a last resort decision, after all other alternatives have been exhausted. They are wonderful at saving your life in an emergency situation and the only time I'd consider being admitted to one.

The real solution is to maintain your health and immune system by eating a diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables, greens, nuts and seeds, staying active, reducing unneeded stress and avoiding toxic elements in our life. This will allow you to take responsibility for your own health, avoid our health care system and allow you to enjoy a happy and long life.

To your best health!

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?"

And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds And Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."

God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center in to chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

See what you're getting into before you go there!

Then Satan created HMOs.
