	Hi Evelyn and friends, According to this article, I am afraid there is yet another most important factor to consider for life expectancy - however accurate our test may be. Hugs, Miguel Eating Processed Meat and Red Meat Significantly Raises Risk of Death (Study) By Sarah B. Weir, Yahoo! blogger \| Healthy Living – Tue, Mar 13, 2012 A major new study may put the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, of the "bacon with everything" food craze. Researchers at theHarvard School of Public Health examined data from more than 110,000 people and found that eating as little as two pieces of bacon or one hot dog a day upped their mortality rate by 20% over a 20-year period. A small, three-ounce serving of red meat a day (about the size of a deck of cards) increased mortality by 13%.

Dr. An Pan, lead author of the study, told the LA Times that before they crunched the numbers, his team of researchers assumed that only processed meat posed significant health risks. They were surprised by the final results: "Any red meat you eat contributes to the risk," said Pan. The good news? The team found that swapping poultry or vegetarian protein options for processed or red meat made a big difference in outcomes. Eating a serving of nuts instead of red meat was associated with a 19% lower risk of mortality. Choosing poultry over red meat was linked with a 14% lower risk of dying. "This study provides clear evidence that regular consumption of red meat, especially processed meat, contributes substantially to premature death," said senior researcher Frank Hu, PhD, in a statement. "On the other hand, choosing more healthful sources of protein in place of red meat can confer significant health benefits by reducing chronic disease morbidity and mortality." Although Pan says that no amount of processed meat or red meat is good for you, he suggests that, "If you want to eat red meat, eat the unprocessed products, and reduce it to two or three servings a week." He told the Times he eats two to three servings of red meat a week and avoids all processed meat.

	Hi Miguel, thanks for posting this article. I had read it but I'm sure there are many who had not so now they can. I am trying very hard to change my eating habits and get away from eating red meat and to start eating more fruits and vegetables. I also learned my insurance company will pay for a gym membership and as soon as they mail me my card I'm going to start working out for mainly strength training. I want to be able to live independently for many more years and I figure strength training will help plus I'm hoping it will accelerate my weight loss I am working on also. :) Quote: Hi Evelyn and friends, According to this article, I am afraid there is yet another most important factor to consider for life expectancy - however accurate our test may be.

Mary Evelyn 23244 5352 Strawb...	RE: Mary Evelyn's Koffee Klatch 3/14/2012 9:06:58 PM
	Hi everyone, here is a WARNING for you!!!!! Never buy anything at SEARS!!!!! When I bought this house the first of November last year, I knew there was no garage door opener, all the wiring was there for one, but one had never been installed. At the great price I paid for this big, like new house, no garage door opener was not a deal breaker. Everyone I talked with said to go to Sears and although my inner voice was saying no, I didn't listen to it. I had, had a very bad experience with them over a cook top I had bought from them a few years ago and I said then, never again would I ever buy anything from them again but you know what they say about never say never. Not only did I buy the garage door opener but I also bought a microwave range hood, while I was there and paid a big installation fee for both. To make a long story short, yesterday afternoon I had to run into town and when I came back the door opened when I pressed the remote but it wouldn't close. I kept trying and finally by holding down on the button installed beside the door into the house I was finally able to get it to close and this morning I called Sears to see about getting someone out to take a look at it. Well was I in for a shock!!! I was told the warranty was only good for 30 days and I would have to pay for a repair bill which would be a minimum of $75. I guess I have to take part of the blame for not reading all the fine print but who would expect an expensive piece of equipment to fail so soon and who would expect a 30 day warranty instead of at least a year's warranty. Well since it seems as though I will be paying a repair bill it WILL NOT be to Sears. I will go to ServiceMagic.com and get one of their recommended repair people. Sears will never get another dime from me and I told the lady at corporate this morning that I was going to do some advertising for them so here it is -DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT SEARS!!!! They were for many years a reputable company with good customer service, but no more. No wonder an article came out in December saying they were closing hundreds of stores. I have bought from Sears for many many years, every appliance I ever bought came from there plus I always bought my kids school clothes from their catalog and my ex husband bought $1000's of dollars worth of tools and now their customer service has gone to the dogs. I am so angry that I let myself get taken by them again but this time is definitely the last time. Never again and this time I mean it. This time really is never again because I have learned an expensive lesson.

	Hello Evelyn I have a great green idea for you. You need to become a raw foodist. It is not the easiest thing in the world to do. After all, who wants to eat salad 3 times a day with a bit of fruit between meals. No, no, no, that is not how you do it. You wade into this slowly, adding more and more raw food into your diet over time. Raw foodists have concocted oodles of raw food recipes. You can find them on the internet. Google Raw Food. You will be amazed how much stuff there is on eating raw. Now for the best part. After you have tried a recipe and find it to be palatable, you will post it to this forum for all of us. Isn't that a great idea?!! Others could do the same. I once got to try a raw green pudding. It was out of this world. It was made in a VitaMix and it had 3 ingredients >>> Paypaya, raw spinach and I think the 3rd ingredient was Avocado. It was SOOOOOO YUMMMMMY! It was just like pudding except it was totally green in color. See! There's your first raw recipe on your forum! When my ship comes in, there is going to be a VitaMix on it. Another great idea! In the same way that you would wade slowly into eating raw, you could also wade into organic gardening slowly. In the first year, you might grow a couple of tomato plants. Then each year you keep growing more and more vegs and fruits. You would not be allowed to talk about how wonderful your organic stuff tastes because it would make us drool and many of us do not have the land to make an organic garden. Unless you are willing to send us some, you will have to keep your mouth shut about it :) I used to do organic gardening and I know how wonderful things taste and how much better I began to feel. Ever since I did my own garden, I have looked for the ideal raw food and I have found it. It so happens to be a Network Marketing company but that's ok. They get their products from an organic farmer in Utah. The stuff this farmer does for his produce is absolutely amazing. I figure his foods are best in the world. He freeze-dries it. He pours the foods into this freeze-dryer and before they hit bottom, they turn into a powder. They are never heated over 85 F which is less than body temperature. When you buy them, they come to you raw, organic with enzymes and electrons intact. There are very few people who could even grow their own produce and obtain the results he gets. These foods are the easiest to prepare, consume and clean up. You just put some water into a jar, add a scoop or two of the powders and drink it down with a straw. Rinse out the jar and the straw and place it on the drainboard. That's it! You are done in about 4 minutes. Perfect bachelor food. Helen Quote: Hi Miguel, thanks for posting this article.
