Wellbeing: Lifestyle and Longevity

Red Meat and Egg Consumption
"Going to a homesteading conference got me thinking about diet. Having been vegetarians for 30+ years, last January we decided to eat meat again. This came about because my physician and friend, Dr. Brooke Miller convinced me that the way for me to get control of my blood sugar, hypertension and weight was to begin eating meat again. Now, I really wasn’t “that” heavy - but I am light framed, and any excess weight affects me very negatively. That means to get my health back into control, I had to lay off the carbs big-time, stop eating sugar and eat a lot more protein. This all meant that I needed to eat more eggs, white and red meat. I had also come to the conclusion that I needed to stop eating processed soy products, because of the plant estrogens and added chemicals. What that really meant, in a practical sense, was going cold turkey on the variety of plant-based processed foods found in the freezer section. We have always been health conscious, but have “slipped up” once too many times in the past fives years. All those lovely pastries that they put out in hotel buffets! It was time to get serious. We also incorporated intermittent fasting into this major lifestyle change.
Over the course of the last 10 months, I have dropped thirty pounds and Jill has lost even more than that. My stamina is better, allergies are better, my hypertension is under control, my blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C are back to normal and I have been able to significantly cut back on various medications that I am taking to treat the cardiac damage associated with COVID vaccination.
[I can testify this works for me and some friends as well]

That version of history explains everything.
It explains the housing crisis. It explains the energy restrictions. It explains the immigration pressure. It explains the economic stagnation. It explains why a sitting Deputy Prime Minister stood in front of graduates at an American university and asked, out loud, whether capitalist democracy still works.
None of what is happening to Canada is an accident.

The Present Is the Evidence
To understand how Canada arrived at this moment, you first have to look honestly at what is happening right now.
Across Canadian media and social media, a coordinated narrative has been building around what is being called the problem of empty bedrooms. On the surface it sounds like a housing conversation. Look closer and it is something else entirely. The pressure being applied, particularly on elderly Canadians and grandparents who have lived in their homes for decades, is to downsize. To give up their multi-bedroom homes. To turn their large homes into apartment blocks. ...

Nenshi should step down, fined, be taken to court for dereliction of duty or be removed from current leadership role due to breach of authority while in a position of power, poor memory & proved blatant deceit causing destruction & financial burden unnecessarily …. The records prove it & clarify it! His two in command should not be absolved either for not going to council when Nenshi did not! Calgarians should not be left with the costing when it should have been unnecessary! It’s called Accountability…..
