Margaret Thatcher

Ronald Reagan

A Vimeo film that starts out about the selling of conservative themes by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s and how ordinary people, by using art, try to fight against the shift.  Of course it is oriented towards men as usual and doesn't address women and their art, especially when it comes to musical art,  as much as it could but it is still worth watching.  Yeah, and the password is LFHTH.

To Your Health

 

Recently, I got a juicer and an ultra deluxe blender and have been using these to increase the amount of green veggies I eat.  Yeah, I have to admit I wasn't a big fan of kale and such but that has changed now that I've gotten these new appliances.  A big push in this direction is because of the books by Dr. Fuhrman I've been reading and his emphasis on "nutritarian" eating.  Dr Fuhrman has a website and a lot of articles concerning health and nutrition that I recommend you check out.  He has one on breast cancer that is really worth reading.  In it he debunks the "mammograms saves life" crap we hear all the time.  Some highlights:

Dr. Fuhrman on Breast Cancer

1. Cruciferous vegetables powerfully prevent breast cancer.
2. Vitamin D powerfully protects against breast cancer.
3. Mammograms cause some breast cancers, reduce deaths by almost the same number of deaths they cause and overall do very little to extend lives.
   

  The best way a women can protect themselves from breast cancer is:

1. Do not drink alcohol and of course do not smoke anything
2. Do not take any type of estrogen, and avoid drugs (especially antibiotics).
3. Have babies and nurse them as long as possible, 
4. Eat a high nutrient, vegetable-based diet, with loads of greens as described in my book, Eat For Health.
5. Take sufficient Vitamin D supplementation to drive the blood level to 35 – 50 ng/ml.
6. Use one tablespoon of ground flax seeds daily.
7. Don’t grill or fry foods.  Steaming vegetables or vegetable soups should be the primary modes of cooking.
8. Exercise at least 3 hours a week, and maintain a lean body with little body fat.

 I can't say I do all these things. I do drink wine occasionally and I am on hormones and take antibiotics if I need them.  I nursed but not for as long as I should have but there's not much I can do about that now. Anyway, I do take vitamin D, exercise, and eat a healthy diet.

Here's a video on making a green smoothie.  The thing I do different is that I add two heaping teaspoons of ground flax seeds to my mix.

I'm Baaack!

Aren't we a sweet couple?

So I went on vacation and didn't do much online stuff at all during my entire two weeks off.  I did do some Pinteresting which is really addictive in it's own way so whatever you do, don't go and get a Pinterest account.  Still, I hardly did any Pinteresting either.  Instead, my boyfriend and I went to a park and did lots of hiking and nature watching, went to a large flea market called Shipshewanna, and then went to taste wine at Oliver Winery near Bloomington Indiana.  So essentially, we went from one end of the state to the other.  Oh yeah, and I did a lot of relaxing, walking in the park, and bird watching in between these jaunts.  I came back to work yesterday feeling stress free and happy.  Next up, I am walking in the Dewey Dash!

 True, that.
