See You in Two Weeks – I will be taking a 2 week break from this BLOG to recharge the batteries. I will be back online Monday June 10th. See you then. Eat healthy and stay fit!
Our thoughts often cause reality to happen. People that tend to be negative attract other negative people and they tend to only see negative things. Positive people attract positive people and see the positive side. The Beyond Physical BLOG deals with this. Make a point to change your thoughts to positive ones. Among other things negative thought can cause stress. Stress can cause all types of illness. Remember a basic law: If you can master your thoughts, you can change your reality!
I have spoken about Beyond Meats chicken-less chicken before. It is a fantastic product that is used to make dishes in Whole Foods Supermarkets. It is now available at Whole Foods to purchase and bring home so you can make your own dishes. This product looks and tastes like chicken. Go wild, make some great recipes and let me know what is your favorite.

Dr Greger says fruit is a great fighter of cancers. Cranberries have shown to fight many cancers including liver, breast, brain, oral and ovarian cancers. It is not one extract from the cranberry but the whole fruit. Cranberries can increase our immune system in just hours. Other fruits show promise as well. Blackberries for oral cancer and strawberries for Esophageal cancer. Fruit is good for us as is most plant-based foods. I can’t overstate the importance of eating more plant-based foods.

My good friend David sent this article on the history of soybeans. They have been around for a long time. They provide healthy nutrition, protein and are good in so many different kinds of recipes. Search the web for soybeans and try different ones. People enjoy veggie-burgers made from soy, humus, soy milk as a healthy alternative to cow’s milk, and many more. Try different things and enjoy new foods that are really healthy.
Eggs increase the risk for heart disease and diabetes, according to a new meta-analysis published in Atherosclerosis. Researchers reviewed 14 studies and found that those who consumed the most eggs had a 19 and 68 percent increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes, respectively, compared with those who ate the fewest eggs. For those who already had diabetes, the risk for developing heart disease from eating the most eggs jumped to 83 percent.
