Wednesday Weekly Smile – (Flowers & DIRT CURE Book Part 1)

After visiting with my blog friend Trent, and seeing his weekly smile challenge, I thought about what has made me smile every day for the last ten days.

This colorful bouquet of flowers:

This pink carnation broke off (but it was not missed at all – the bunch was pretty full)

 The carnation sure made for a fun photo shoot after I dissected it (because isn’t this what adults sometimes do – play with flowers?)

I have also been wanting to share a few snippets from The Dirt Cure (2016) book (here) by Dr. Maya.

This is a must read book. 

Today I have three little pages to share – and I plan to do a second post later. 

For now – my three takeaways are as follows:

#1

Look at the the “how” the “why” and the “who” when you think about the food item – how and why it was processed or harvested – and how the “who” will benefit or not benefit.

#2

Chocolate (cocoa) is awesome for us – oh yeah – but if you are having your cocoa with sugar (and chemicals) you are NOT helping your organs or your metabolism. Just sayin…. 

#3

Can we please stop demonizing RED MEAT.  Some of “those powers that be” made this type of meat into the bad guy and while some red meat – like the slime – is yucky – other red meat is bueno – like grass-fed red meat is packed with vitamins, minerals, much-needed fats, and so much more. And you might benefit from quality red meat especially if you have Type-O blood; however, we have been brainwashed.  Side note – I might not speak up about this topic every time I see someone slam red meat as if abstaining is this good health choice – and I definitely will not speak up if this is your religious belief – but friends, please just see if you were brainwashed (like many of us were) – because like me, your body might THRIVE from a little life-giving, grass-fed beef.
