Good health through a variety of foods, washed down with a Russian Margarita.

Foods and plants are full of things that turn on anti-aging processes and improve our health.  The bigger variety you eat, the more interesting it is, and you can stop choking down all those worthless vitamins and health powders from the pill isle. 

Yesterday, as best I can remember I had:

Tangelo, banana, blueberry, dried fig, dried date, golden raisin, papaya, frozen peach, frozen blackberry, pecan, almond, pumpkin seed, ground flax seed, Kashi Heritage cereal (7 or 8 grains), mixed berry juice, soy milk, coffee, tea, whole grain multi-grain bread, chickpea, peanut butter, strawberry jelly, mushroom, wild rice, white potato, sweet potato, black bean, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, celery, red bell pepper, green cabbage, carrot, yellow split pea, blue corn chip, organic chocolate cookie, yogurt, black strap molasses, bottled picante sauce. Primary dried spices: cinnamon, cayenne, dill, allspice, cumin, chipoltle, cloves, oregano.  A tiny Balalaika – vodka, triple sec, lemon juice, sort of the Russian Margarita.   One B12 tablet, B12 is the only thing you may run short of not eating meat and dairy, multi-vitamins are a waste of money. 

So far this morning:

1/2 Grapefruit, 1/2 banana, golden raisin, cranberry juice, Kashi Heritage cereal, soy milk, walnut, sunflower seed, ground flax (sprinkle on cereal), coffee, dried apricot, cinnamon.

Tonights plan, if it holds up, sauté red bell peppers onions celery in tiny bit of olive oil, a red leaf lettuce salad with oranges and fennel sliced thin.  Still not settled on the rest, maybe a rice and lintel pilaf with carrots and almonds, not sure yet.  Or maybe a cool Hula salad, black eyed peas with pineapple chunks, red onion, green bell peppers and jicama, lemon juice, canola oil.
