He was so healthy that at 100 y/o he decided to take matters into his own hands and stop eating because he'd lived long enough. He was on fluids - otherwise, I'm sure his death would have been quite painful? There is a documentary on Youtube about them - Conscious living/conscious dying. Amazing couple!

The pandemic has given me time to work on sorting out lifelong digestive issues. The cause is self-evident: for much of my childhood the only food we had for weeks on end was macaroni, cheap margarine and salt and pepper - sugar and powdered milk if we were trying to beat the boredom by having something different. I took a good chunk of last year and - with the help of a great GP - ran some serious elimination tests. Lo and behold, what makes my digestive system and the rest of my body/brain sing is going back to the diet of my Indigenous ancestors - ditched the sugars, ditched the grains (yup, all of 'em) and stopped trying to sneak legumes, which I am highly allergic to (especially soy), into my stomach and in the process also "gave up" joint aches, muscle aches, IBS, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure and brain fog.

He was a lifelong vegetarian that grew a lot of his own food.<br /><br />I am going to try tahini/lemon/garlic. Sounds yum.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-43367403858394274032021-04-06T21:29:23.547-03:002021-04-06T21:29:23.547-03:00Mmmmmm samosas!

I will usually cook a grain, a pot of beans or lentils, roast some veggies, maybe whip up a sauce eg tahini/lemon/garlic, tomato or peanut sauce, do a batch of healthy biscuits or some stewed fruit etc...I also like to cook big pots of soup and freeze in 2 serve portions. <br /><br />I think it was Michio Kushi who said, if you don't make time to cook you will certainly have to make time to be sick! I tell this to all of my macrobiotic counselling clients, and to myself when I'm feeling lazy!<br /><br />Madeleine Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087754649715622558noreply@blogger.com
