ok - I have been involved in the health field for about 30 years!
For better health and Well-Being i.e. feeling better about one's self and one's life - it is a great idea to obstain from:

Margine, white flour products, and sodas. try using only good quality olive oil and you will notice a big differience in your life.

and sugars, at least anything "bleached white" and unnatural in color...
some fats are actually healthy, such as fats from fish, certain vegetables and nuts...

The idea of these suggestions are to try them out - experiment with them by following them for a few weeks and the next month - again try 2 weeks following the tips, etc. you may just find it is well woth going without the things you thought were ok for you, by how great you feel wothout them. Sometimes it is hard to obstain and do without things you are use to eating, etc, but in time, as you notice the big difference in how you feel, it will become easier and easier to fallow a more healthy life-style.

I have noticed that some Big Bears out there are becomming vegetarian..... or is it that they want to please me?
