Running for Your Life: Not Fueling Well?

Feeling under the weather? Maybe you're not "fueling" well.

I've dug into my blog archives for a piece I wrote on proper nutrition, which is especially important to note during these days of stress posed by overindulgence and under-indulgence.

Try a New Meal. I’ve written about food here a lot, but recently I came upon something new to me: phytonutrients, natural chemicals found in a variety of plant foods. It turns out, according to a Sunday NY Times article, http://nyti.ms/13SKDLT) that they have been shown to help in the fight against the Boomer scourges: cancer, cardio-vascular disease and dementia.

Join me in building a New Meal, one that includes such foods as arugula, dandelion leaves, yellow corn, violet potatoes, wild blueberries . . .

Spurn mild and go for the wild. (Please note: This is written before the Reese-mad movie reviews for "Wild," the nonfiction book by Cheryl Strayed.) That seems to be the secret. Which, when you think of it, goes along with a new New Deal. As in, going off the grid. Getting away from politics and governance, where corruption is but a dark-hued storyline on stress in a land where the ultimate enemy is time, which if you allow yourself to believe in the New Meal can be caught off-guard and befriended.
