Yesterday I had to go to the doctor with Theodore. He is a nice young man. The age gap between us is striking. His mom died a few years ago as did his dad, and they were in their seventies.
Going to the doctor is vexatious. The office is bound to be loaded with germs and other filth. There's no escaping it. Then, there is the trip down there, the interruption of any continuity in our lives as we drop everything and run to some doctor.
Everyone, eat well. Eat little, mostly vegetables.
It's the only way we are going to save ourselves from a lifetime of sitting in those doctors' chairs waiting for our number to come up.
WebMed came up with suggestions today for food choices. Instead of:
potato chips, choose air-popped popcorn
granola, choose bran flakes
sugar drink choose fruit juice
cheese dip choose hummus
ice cream choose sherbet and ice
sausage pizza choose margherita or veggie
alfredo sauce choose marinara
frozen fried food choose frozen dishes with
rice or veggies
fried fish or chicken choose boiled shrimp
Those are all good ideas; we all know them all...we have to be careful of fat meat, cream, cheese. Too much of those will do us in. In the case of Theo and I, we don't go overboard except for Theo and cheese. But it is our incidental carb intake that's bringing us down, I think. Beware of cookies, crackers, donuts, sweet rolls, and boxed cookies especially. Even, beware of store bread. I may have to go back to Katy Kornettes as a life-saver alternative. Oh, boy! YUM.
