Title: Good Information on the Food We Eat Post by: valhalla on 19-Oct-09, 08:49:58 AM My old boss (another reformed smoker) sent me this years ago. I try to eat food that is fresh and local with organic being optional (I'd rather have a just picked tomato than an organic one from California, for example). Anyway, this is good info that I thought I'd share with all of you.

:clap: Title: Re: Good Information on the Food We Eat Post by: valhalla on 20-Oct-09, 07:01:37 AM The surprise was the beets. When I got so sick about 4 years ago (from the high bp), I instinctively went to the beets. They really put your "system" back in shape :thumbsup: Eat the Golden ones (Whole Foods, fresh) to avoid early morning surprises.
