Our lifestyle is something we don't usually think about, except when we have to explain it to someone (it's actually not as "weird" as it used to be, now that more people eat whole grains, are vegetarian, etc. -- we used to be SO STRANGE!). <BR/><BR/>As I've gotten older, I've realized what a gift it was to be raised from infancy with a strong knowledge of good nutrition, the importance of exercise, etc. In fact, I've rather taken good health for granted some times -- most people I've known well (or have been related to) have lived into their late 80s or early 90s, been very active and independent even when elderly, etc.<BR/><BR/>But I think the mental/spiritual aspect is just as important as the physical. Having a community of like-minded people with whom you meet regularly and being able to trust your life and concerns to a higher power are real life-extenders, I think!

Their group is strong on a vegetarian diet. A friend of mine visited the Weimar Clinic out there to learn how to eat more healthily after a heart attack. The SDA's are very strong on family life and Sabbath resting. One day of the week is set aside to do no work, only worship and spend time with family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-39127387841437480512009-04-02T08:07:00.000+10:002009-04-02T08:07:00.000+10:00Great interview Rhonda!

This years theme was "art is tasty" They held a grey matters forum and the quest speaker was Stephanie Alexander. Peter spoke about our organic vegie patch and how our 3 little boys,2,4,6 are involved with the growing, harvest & cooking and the important lessons they are learning. On Monday morning he was also on the local ABC radio talking on the subject. I will definately be listening to your session.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-21700251942166018852009-04-01T10:08:00.000+10:002009-04-01T10:08:00.000+10:00I think the high soy intake is a bit misleading.

The Okinawins don't consume high amounts of soy but rather good quality soy in the form of tempeh and tofu, they don't drink soy 'milk' at all.<BR/>Absolutely loved the newspaper article, really brightened my day.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907021712935423492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-14141842324288359612009-04-01T08:39:00.000+10:002009-04-01T08:39:00.000+10:00Rhonda,That newspaper article is Wonderful!!

I drink soy but lately there was so much stuff in the media about it and how bad it is for you, that I began to worry. But it seems that these people are quite healthy.<BR/>also tumeric is a fantastic spice! It is highly recommended in the ayurvedic wisdom.. I fry it (along with other spices) in ghee and pour it over my steamed vegies. <BR/>Very good for digestion<BR/><BR/>my broad beans are up!<BR/>I can't wait to receive my loofah seeds.. is there any special way that i need to plant them? soil etc? yes, gardening is the perfect moderate (and sometimes not so moderate) exercise and it's free!Miss Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144002124919728056noreply@blogger.com
