taking control

A quote from "Eating Well For Optimum Health" by Andrew Weil, M.D.

" Diet has a special significance among lifestyle factors in that people have total control over it, at least potentially. You cannot change your genes, control the quality of the air you breathe all the time, or avoid the stresses of everyday life, but you can decide what to eat and what not to eat, even if you are stuck on occasion in an institutional cafeteria. It is a shame not to take advantage of that control by making wise choices from what is available and by informing yourself about wise and unwise choices of food. "

(Great book, by the way, Weil discusses the glycemic index, omega-3s, and the proportions of fat, carbs and protein in the ideal diet. He goes into detail about better and worse carbs, better and worse fats, better and worse proteins.)

P.S. Study up on omega-3s, an absolute requirement in sufficient amounts for good nutrition. Sources are: Fish oil, flaxseed oil, flax seeds, hemp seeds, herring, mackerel, purslane, salmon, sardines, soybean oil, soybeans, walnut oil, walnuts. These fatty acids protect the nervous system and promote mental health. Also important are omega-6 sources: Corn oil, grapeseed oil, meat, peanut oil, poultry, safflower oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil. Everyone should do a little research and start adding these EFAs (essential fatty acids) to their diets daily.
