Mice and Men/Scientifically sound and Spiritual Diets

[Guest guest]

I understand your logic Jan but it's not quite that simple. See when you

exercise correctly you raise your metabolic rate (during & resting) & no one

up on the science refutes the fact that proper exercise *extends* life.

Stay Healthy,

David

 

Harsha: Thanks Jan and David for the great lessons on nutrition. Thanks also

for sharing the example of your sister David. Perhaps you can explain more

of the ionized protein powders. I had not heard of them. I have heard of

scientific experiments with mice where the mice fed a starvation diet lived

a much longer life. It is also well known that people who fast periodically

tend to live longer. A couple of decades ago, I came across a book by Paul

Bragg on fasting. Jan had mentioned it once as well. The book was very

impressive as Paul Bragg himself fasted off and on throughout his life. I

believe he lived a pretty healthy life into his 90s. Fasting is a well known

practice in Yogic traditions. Diets are of course unique to individuals and

this is something to keep in my mind as Idris suggested. But it is nice to

know different ideas on nutrition that are out there. Perhaps we can help

Jerry make a better smoothie every morning.

Thanks David for a lot of fascinating and excellent information. I appreciate

your taking the

time to do so and its nice to be up on the latest scientific research on

nutrition. I will

forward your post as it might be helpful for some people. Thanks again David and

you have our

gratitude.
