My favorite alternative doctor, Christiane Northrup, says that people in their 50’s and up should regularly check their blood sugar and make modifications if it is high. She says that some people in the medical field believe that high blood sugar is a precursor to Alzheimers.
Okay, so I went to CVS and bought a small glucose meter and, after three days, figured out how to use it. On the first stick it was within the traditional acceptable range, but where she suggests that some changes need to be made. In examining my habits, I decided to ignore the fact that I eat chocolate every day and go after the rice and millet mixture that I eat at most meals. I would cut down on carbs and increase exercise and all would be fine.
After my yoga class, I went to a healthy ayurveda restaurant for lunch. I knew that I should order protein and vegetables, but the quinoa salad with roasted vegetables looked good so I decided to go for it with a side of tofu for protein. When the waitress brought my food, there was a cup of tofu and a big plate of spinach. I figured that the quinoa was underneath. But as I ate, I saw that there was nothing but spinach, red peppers and artichokes. A huge plate of greens! Somehow I ended up with the lunch that I should have ordered. Mistake? I don’t think so. It seems that my vibrations spoke louder than my voice!
