Her vegetarian/vegan cooking cl was very informative, very useful and wonderful to attend. It really helped me to motivate me to make the right changes and my health has improved so much as a result. There are many more recipes of Caroline’s I haven’t cooked yet ….so I can’t wait!!
You’re not alone. It’s a problem that seems to be increasingly taking over more and more people. A lot of the food we in Western countries tend to eat has enough protein, carbs and fats to keep us going, but doesn’t seem to do much more than that.
We get pimples and acne in our years, start putting on weight in our twenties, increasingly are at risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer in our 30’s, begin to slow down in our 40’s with arthritis and back problems, and the medical hurdles get bigger and harder to get over from our 50’s onward.
In America, in 2010, an estimated 70% of deaths annually were attributed to chronic diseases such as Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke, Diabetes and Hypertension (High Blood Pressure.)
And medical authorities are concerned….REALLY concerned….because the incidence of diseases like Diabetes and Heart Disease is RISING year by year. Of course, they’re concerned about how much it will cost the Government, supporting the huge number of people who are crippled or cut down by these largely preventable diseases.
I think we all individually need to be concerned as well, and if you’re a thinking person, you probably already are. You get one body, and one shot at life. Medical procedures (medications, surgeries, organ transplants, etc) are the option that most people take because they think there’s no other.
OR, you might think that because there’s a family history of a certain disease that it’s inevitable that you’ll get it too.
In either case, there are issues that are more “in your face” that people struggle with daily. Weight problems, skin problems, kidney and liver problems, digestion problems, recurring colds and flus. Of course, all of these things affect our ability to function at our peak. Meanwhile, each illness is prescribed its own drug, and that means an ever increasing collection of pill bottles and packets on the kitchen counter!
And there’s nothing worse than taking a prescription, finding it doesn’t work, being given a second different prescription, and if that doesn’t work then another one. You get to feel a bit like a lab rat!
To: All those who are tired of the battle against the typical illnesses of modern society like obesity, diabetes, arthritis, etc and know it’s time to make positive change!
If you’ve ever had that nagging feeling that you need to make some positive changes with your diet….
Or you’ve got so many healthy recipes already saved in a myriad of places so that you struggle to keep track of them all….
Then this will be the most important message you will ever read! I know, that’s a big claim, but here’s why….
I barely missed (by one year) of being a Baby Boomer, so I grew up in a society that was starting to rely more & more on fast food and/or convenience foods. I’m old enough to have experienced the “meat & three veg” evening meal as a child. This was normal food for multiplied millions around the world.
But along with that diet came the inevitable consequences in our health. I personally experienced a number of different & persistent health problems as I grew up. Every winter struggling with respiratory infections, and there were skin problems, constipation so bad that my mum would occasionally need to take me to the doctor (sorry about being that honest!) and as I got older over-weight problems.
Nobody joined the dots between diet and disease back then. Of course, as an early ager all I cared about was my looks so I would read through magazines and try different diet plans (some things never change, eh?)
By my mid- s I was starting to understand some basic nutrition, but I had this other problem – I liked cooking nice food, and especially desserts! (And I was pretty good at it too.)
Then came the real kicker – my first job after leaving school was in a bakehouse! I gained around 10kg in the 10 weeks that I worked there
Fortunately I had to leave that job as my family moved, but I ended up getting work in hospitality and of course, that again involved food!
A few years later I was fortunate enough to meet a group of people who were further along in the health-seeking journey than I was… Read more…
