Day 56

Here is another from Joss Stone showcasing her awesome talent!

I Had A Dream



BREAKFAST

Had a nice bowl of oatmeal with banana and blueberries. Usual great cup of freshly ground coffee.

Had to go to the periodontist early this morning to check on the skin graft I had done 6 weeks ago. All is well.

I will try and go for a walk today, although my left knee has been giving me problems all weekend. Feels like a tweaked meniscus to me. I have had this previously...once when I was playing racquetball. When you move just a touch the wrong way, an extremely sharp pain ensues and I feel like the knee is going to give out. So.....we'll see...I would rather be able to go for the walk.

More info about Red Meat surfaces......

Sorry cows, a new study in the American Journal of Epidemiology links higher risk of age-related macular degeneration, i.e. blindness, with heavy consumption of red meat. Australian researchers recruited 6,734 people, ages 58 to 69, living in Melbourne, surveying them about how much meat they ate, and then taking macular photographs of their retinas to evaluate eye health. Findings revealed participants eating red meat 10 times a week were 47% more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration than those eating less red meat; Medical News Today reports.
Red meat is vile. In November a report found harmful bacteria, called Subtilase cytotoxin gravitates to red meat and dairy products. Then just last week, consuming large amounts of red and processed meat was associated with higher risk of cancer and cardiovascular mortality and beyond that, eating red meat has been linked to metabolic syndrome, a known predictor of heart disease.
In related news, previous research shows antioxidants from foods, such as spinach, kale and collard greens promote eye health and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
LUNCH

Had a veggie sub for lunch....VG

DINNER

Katie made whole wheat spagetti with veggie hamburger by Yves, various kinds of peppers, mushrooms etc. It was great!
