Are you happy with the way you eat?
I am not asking about your weight or looks, but rather:
How do you feel?
If you feel well, then maybe you make good choices when it comes to eating.
Or: You simply listen to your body.
You see:
If you eat fresh and natural food items, listening to your cravings can be useful.
Items with artificial flavors mislead.
Your body can be fooled just like your mind via advertising.
In general:
People eat far too many carbs. Unless you are an athlete, chances are you are over-carbing and the reason is simple:
Money.
High-carb products tend to be cheaper and when you go to a restaurant, it is cost-cutting to the business to serve you plates with a little bit of meat and a lot of carb products such as bread, pasta, pizza, noodles, fries etc. Of course, since your body wouldn’t likely crave such items, they are served with a nice sauce… full of artificial flavors.
In other words: Your body doesn’t get much of a benefit.
Throughout the ages, the kings and priests are well while the working crowd consumed food that enabled them to last throughout the workday, without meeting the proper nutrition requirements.
I have read from many of you that multivitamins have “saved your life” and I have taken them before as well and felt much better. BUT… that doesn’t make your overall diet better. We can only read up on what is known, but there is plenty that isn’t known. However… NATURE KNOWS.
So what is missing from multivitamins?
I don’t know and don’t need to.
When you fill your fridge with fresh and natural, it may get more expensive, but what better things can money be spent on that food for you and your family?
I am not a doctor and this is not to be mistaken as advice, only information and personal experience.

I’ve lived way past my supposed ‘youll be dead inside six years’ doctor’s prophesy in 1996, and l’m still on my feet, long, long, after being told, “wheelchair by age fifty!” back in 1968. Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis throughout my body started in 1968 (Rh) at aged twenty-two, caused by Toxaemia in pregnancy, and (‘Osteo’) began with a fall when hands gave way on me above five foot off the ground on a climbing apparatus, in 1985, aged forty. The fall jarred my spine badly, set it going. Laid me up six weeks with a toddler too. Allergic all meds and vaccines l tried vitamins I stead. Since then l’ve been on daily apple cider vinegar and Seven Seas multi vits with fish oils. Being an early online user of web sites, I buy privately this way these days. They’ve kept me on my feet until recent years have meant using a stick, falling hurts, and breathlessness keeps me housebound. I’ve had mold asthma life long too. So it’s exacerbated too. Allergic inhalers, use breathing exerciser instead. All bough privately. Never see a doc’, surgery is out for me, general anaesthesia is hard to wake me from, ten hours scares them more than me. And Septicemia sets in when they cut into me anyway, so, it’s a no go area. I’m lucky, l’m alive. I middle through. Right now my head is tight, and l’m having one of heart failures giddy feelings, so l’m being sure to lean where if l fall, l hopefully won’t hit my head. One nine month coma as a kid was enough..And there’s no one here to scrape me off the floor anymore. I am this far ok with multi vits and apple cider vinegar and my magic pill of all,
soluble aspirin. Which l up, and down, as and when l need too. That my GPs know, (doctors).and say things like, “you understand your body very well!” I’d say as it’s been my only stable home in 78+ years, if l don’t, no one else will. I am now slightly overweight, due hiatus hernia and lack of walks. I used to walk give miles a day, and do entire body workouts all my life since 1960. Even got a diploma for them that year, it’s headed ‘Rhythmical Exercises’. And l kept my hour glass (Barbara Windsor) figure brilliantly through six babies many miscarriages, and many other life threatening crisis’ using that diploma. Now l’m older than most of my forebears, oldest left alive in the UK inside my family, we’d averaged 53-64 in ages, so, 78 is great..With all my dangerous pit stops, and warnings of death looming for others, and always being right, for one who sees it coming to collect those others, even birth them too, l’ve been more than blessed to know life at all. My vitamins have kept me going well, the most l feel is queezy now, but that’s heart failure too. Some blood comes up, thus far it’s minor and sporadic, it will get worse, and then l’ll likely disappear. Till then, l’ll be the irritant that buzzes in and out. And if this site, like mine (four sites) were long ago, is a one man band, it too will die when its owner dies. Unless, altruism and a good Rhesus Negative beneficiary takes over. I’m now off to stretch my neck, and gently rid my giddy spell, before l take a shower. Have a great day all. No edit. Scuse typos.
Hi there Jennette, I thought I read in one of your comments that you’ve written a few books.
Sorry if I’m mistaken about that. Could you share the titles of them if you have and where to
buy them?
I’m in the learning stage and try to take experience/knowledge from all sides. You sound
quite experienced so I’m asking.
Hope you are well. I’m not sure how to message you any other way.
Jessica
Dear Jeanette Jordan,
Cheers to those of us who have moxie. I am grateful for my courage and how matter of factly we contend
with our situations. I hope this finds you still fighting the good fight.

Hi Jessica,
Thanks for writing, l haven’t been published on subjects in here, l have written much, but my books and plays are still in first drafts, in my files, not in book form, it’s all either in print inside old file boxes l haven’t touched in years, or, locked inside portable drives l used to upload it to. I ran sites X four on four different subjects, and had four groups in discussion way back, but ceased to do so when my life and health prevented continuing and my adult children overran my emotions. I sort of stopped and it’s all still trapped in them. I haven’t used a laptop for years to check them out again, l guess someday down the line when l’m long dead, someone will be curious enough to find them and wonder what this crazy person was all about. But l’m happy to answer questions if l have the answers, or feel l might be able to suggest somebody who does. I’m barred from writing professionally again because due to age and health issues, l receive addition to my pension to survive, and was told, “earn one penny, we take it away!” Then of be homeless, so, publication of my findings, experiences, must stay forever in my files. Sod’s Law. But there it is. However my doctor called me expert (l taught him about Asperger) and wanted me to write about it. my work was used by many worldwide when l ran my sites, so l’ve sort of helped where l could. I was looking for my own answers, and l thank God l found them before l die. It’s all l prayed for. But if my research helps others, l’ll do my best to answer. The blood type has haunted me since l was told how rare mine is aged 17 in 1962. To finally have answers is such a relief, stopped me beating me up over it..Because of damage to my kids. I’ll find an email to share in here if Mike doesn’t mind. It’s a good site, l hope you make many friends as well. JJ
ps excuse errors, l’m tired.
Hi Dehlia,
Do you know my dad’s mother’s name was Wright, but from Northampton, UK. Where are you based. I ask because some years back l was walking my dog and met a very nice lady who chatted for a while in passing.
She said her name was Wright, she said her address, and it was my childhood address… long story short… We both had arthritic hands, l never thought back then it related to my blood type, and we never swapped them, but, we did discover we are related, in a very unusual way, l didn’t know existed. On dad’s mother’s side, l guessed, she wasn’t sure, then checked her data, as she was researching her family tree, and next day she contacted to say, yes, same family. And had we not both removed our gloves and shared our arthritic hands, we wouldn’t have known. There’s more to this story, ghost related, to my childhood, l may have shared it here long ago. I can’t recall.
But l’ve since long ago learned RA is much more common in us Rhesus Negs. I think we spoke before. My my my Dhelia, it’s good to speak again. I’m glad you’re staying strong. 🤗JJ
