Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 M is for Mastectomy, she's half the gal she used to be. O is for the Osteo, her bones are getting weaker. T is for Thrombosis, her future's getting bleaker. H is for her Heart which may soon never beat again, E is for Eating harmful foods, then dosed with medicine. R is for Radiation, which may prolong her tragic end. Put them all together and they spell MOTHER! Most of us wish that moms could live forever and a day. The pain of her death represents the one true cutting of the umbilical cord. A suffering end from heart disease or cancer inflicts enormous emotional pain and distress upon her loving children. Why couldn't mom live a life like the mothers on Okinawa? The average lifespan on those islands between Taiwan and Japan is 86 years for a woman. No x-ray machines are necessary because breast cancer and bone disease are extreme rarities. More people live healthy active lives over the age of 100 on Okinawa than in any other place on this planet. (See " Okinawa Program " by Wilcox, Wilcox, & Suzuki). What do people living on Okinawa eat? Seven portions per day of fruits and vegetables. Seven portions per day of grains. Two portions per day of soy. Essentially, they eat a plant-based diet. American moms will be getting their share of cookbooks today. They'll get boxes of milk chocolate (yeech) and be wined and dined on restaurant foods that compromise their arteries and guarantee future suffering. On the way to mom's house, buy her a fresh fruit basket. Take her out to dinner at a vegetarian restaurant. Tell your mother that you love her and do not want to be witness to pre-mature aging or disease. And most importantly: Teach her the blessings of NotMilk!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Craig, I thought the Okinawans were pescatarian by diet? I think that my source of this information was the vegan society published book called something like " Food and health based on a plant based diet " by Stephen Walsh? I probably have the title and author wrong but I'm pretty close.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 O.K., I'm confused here. The kidlet looked at this diet but it included boiled pork, lean chicken and fish and she doesn't eat those. " The first thing you need to understand about the Okinawa Diet Plan is that it doesn't mean restricting yourself to boiled pork, purple sweet potatoes and bitter melon, though you may learn to love these Okinawan favorites. " " It means filling your plate with nutrient-dense, calorie-starved foods such as soy, fruits, vegetables, sprouts, broth-based soups, seaweed, konnyaku (a plant jelly), sweet potatoes, lean poultry and fish, beans, grains and yogurt. " " If there's one Okinawan dish that characterizes calorie density, it's broth-based soup. Miso, soba (buckwheat noodle), nankwa nbushi (pumpkin), tsumire (fish croquette), pumpkin (nankwa nbushi, almost a stew), kelp or seafood broth are standards in Okinawa. Served as a first course, they are filling and nutritious and naturally curb hunger for higher-calories entrees.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 just to double check on what I posted With more than 150 delicious recipes that incorporate foods low in caloric density, The Okinawa Diet Plan offers dozens of satisfying meal options. Conveniently divided into three tracks--western, eastern, and fusion--and with healthy options for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike, their program provides all the benefits of calorie restriction without deprivation. With dietary guidelines, cooking techniques, an eight-week turnaround plan, and other unique resources, The Okinawa Diet Plan is a breakthrough concept in healthy weight loss and maintenance. I think you will find that some was adapted to western diet the major point is MILK IS bad Craig - Mom's DayO.K., I'm confused here.
