To our health
Today is deadline day for the November issue of Deb's Monthly Review, so I'm concentrating on that task instead of writing extensive posts here. I did see a few health-related articles that I thought were interesting.
The short and sweet of what I read seems to be: Get off the phone, go take a hike and eat your veggetables. It takes decades of scientific research and billions of dollars to see these corellations, when many of our ancestors seem to have known about them all along. I suspect that the reason the same studies keep being done over and over is that each generation is hoping for a way to have their cake and eat it too. Many health remedies are simple. But simple rarely means easy. The rebel nature in us often finds it much more fun to punch simplicity in the face than to embrace its beauty.
