Day 79

Another performance from Keb Mo.....



BREAKFAST

Nice big bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and banana. Great cup of freshly ground coffee.

Going on a mini golf trip with some friends today. Will be back later on Sunday. A little concerned about maintaining this eating style. The golf package includes all meals. Hope there are lots of choices or at least the ability to do some substitutions. I'll do what I can...that's for sure.

I may or may not be able to update the blog from there. I don't think internet access is available in the accomodations that 4 of us guys are sharing. I think wifi may be available in the lobby...hope so....if so and the connection is good enough, then I will try and make updates in between 36 holes of golf per day.

Here is an article that again shows how hard it is for all of us to make well informed decisions about health. There is so much conflicting information, and in many cases we just have no idea what we are getting due to lack of regulation and enforcement.

A new report by ConsumerLab.com discovered many multivitamins either contain significantly more or less of an ingredient than they claim and some are even contaminated with lead. Scientists tested several products, including three for children, and found many exceeded tolerable limits of certain vitamins, such as vitamin A, folic acid, niacin and zinc, which can cause health risks like liver damage and bone-weakening. And a vitamin water examined had 15 times the amount folic acid stated; Reuters reports.

Our society loves magic pills and we forget foods like fruits and veggies are loaded with healthful nutrients. For example, broccoli is packed with vitamin K, which fights prostate cancer. Eating seeds and nuts helps prevent type-2 diabetes. And greens like Bok Choy contain compounds that neutralize harmful free radicals and protect against cancer.

In related news, a recent study showed high-dose beta-carotene may raise lung cancer risk

Leaving around noon today and looking at a six hour drive....so this is the last entry today...and perhaps until Monday....we'll see.

Well that was fast! Golf trip is off...low temperatures, rain, and winds in the forecast for Fri, Sat, Sun. so we are looking at going during the week next week if the weather looks more promising.

LUNCH

For lunch I had a salad, and a tomato sandwich.

I went for my usual walk

DINNER

Katie and I had corn on the cob and mushroom fried veggie rice. Ummm good!

more later....
