you are what YOU eat!

The best and most efficient pharmacy is within your own system.
– Robert C. Peale

Yesterday as I was in the checkout lane at my Meijer grocery store I couldn't help but notice the lady in front of me. I actually kept staring at her (trying NOT to be TOO noticeable, of course!) She was a slender woman. Graying hair. When I looked at her face, I could tell she was an "older" woman... an older woman than I, that is. But, I couldn't for the life of me try to guess her age! She had no wrinkles. Her skin actually glowed! She looked SO healthy! So vibrant!! She really looked great for being probably a senior citizen. Wow!
I next glanced at her grocery items that she had on the checkout belt next to me. I instantly got a clue as to what this fit womans secret was. It was her FOOD! Her items included a large quantity of organic this and that. Tons of veggies and fruits. I don't think I saw one processed thing out of a box in her bunch of things.
This encounter with "this woman" fell directly in line with an awakening that I have been reintroduced to just this weekend! While at a garage sale this past Saturday, I found a book that really opened my eyes and made me have an A-HA moment. That book I have been reading, non-stop! The author of this book I have heard about in the past. He is an author that is HATED by the government! Why? Well, because he "tells it like it should be told" and THEY don't like that... AT ALL! This book is called "More Natural Cures Revealed" by Kevin Trudeau. This is the second book to his first "Natural Cures THEY Don't Want You to Know About". We have this book, and I have it in line to read next!
I won't go into those books in detail (now), but I will tell you that I feel stronger than ever that the old saying, "you are what you eat" is 100% true and it is becoming a new family motto in this household!

Happy and HEALTHY eating everybody!

home...

Oh! bars don't make a cage,
And a home ain't made by walls;
Build a house upon the sand,
And pretty soon it falls.
But nail some boards together,
Make a window and a door,
Fill it full of loved ones,
And it's home forevermore!

~ How's Inky by Sam Campbell
