Organ Meat?

tasty collard green experiment

That component of the paleo diet may be tough for me; but, on the other hand, I’m eating many things I turned my nose up at before. I’ve watched the you-tube video a friend of mine shared on Facebook a couple of times. It’s hard to stop thinking about it. “TEDxIowaCity - Dr. Terry Wahls - Minding Your Mitochondria” is the best snapshot of the science behind this kind of lean, hunter-gatherer “paleo” diet I’ve seen yet. It’s also a great story. A western doctor who didn’t accept the MS “sentence” she’d received, and found another way. MS, diabetes and a whole collection of chronic diseases are more related than we’ve traditionally thought. Diet shows up repeatedly as the key. The more cynical among us say these diet “cures” are ignored because they’re not patentable.  This one caught my attention because it’s so close to what I’ve figured out for myself. Although I still eat more whole grains than Dr. Wahls recommends, and I’d need to nearly double my intake of vegetables, which is already much higher than my life before. Kale will be a challenge too; but, we just experimented with collard greens last night, cooked up with onion, quinoa, tomatoes, red chili, and some sliced up spicy chicken brats. Outstanding!
