Hi @arthur.grafo, how nice that you liked the post, you are right, sometimes in medicine things change from time to time, there has been a lot of controversy with the new values ​​established for high blood pressure, and I suppose that is what you don't agree with...

Actually, I am more concerned about the fact that medicines doctors perscribed for it have turned out to be damaging to us (some have been banned this last year), so I look for natural ways to treat myself.

For instance, I suffered, but I was told to try eating celery (raw in salad and cooked in my food). I eat at least one stick a day. I also use at least one lemon a day so as to thin down my blood, so no cold feet in winter now.

I also took the opposite route from that which is prescribed by our doctors: I avoid all sodas; I avoid all products labelled 'lean' or 'low fat'. I never eat margarine, only real butter. I stopped eating potatoes and eat yams (sweet potatoes) which are not (yet) MGO - if they get to it, I'll move on to cassava.

An important one is milk. So many people have become lactose intolerant and the companies/supermarkets keep pushing people to use low or no fat! Those are which cause most of the problems. I get my milk from a farm and it is not homogenised (this has nothing to do with killing bacteria), it is a cosmetic marketing tool - homogenising milk means that the milk and cream do not separate, so you do not get a layer of cream at the top. If you did, you would see that the 'full cream milk' has almost no cream (about 3 to 5%).

Since changing back to farm milk, my chronic sinus problem, which drove me crazy each night, has subsided. As for the cream, has it made me fatter? No.

Back to homogenised: this means that the milk is treated so violently that the molecus are broken into small molecules which your body does not recognise, so it is sent to become fat. My body uses the cream (which is more like 15%) without me putting on even one kilo.

All fat-free, lean, low-fat etc, they fatten you. Your body senses the lack of nutrition so it goes into panic mode and stores all it can as fat so as to see you through the lean years. Aslo, why use lean meat, but then add GMO cooking oils (Canola being the most damaging), I prefer to let the fat of the meat be the oil I use.

There are many documentaries available on these subjects, with references to laboratory notes, so please check it out. I owned a creche for toddlers and mine was one of the few that I know of, last year, who had no fat kids, no diabetics and they were all healthy and full of energy. Feeding them the right way ate up all my profits and I had to close, but I am glad I did it, for their parents tell me they are still trying to stick to the rules I gave them.

Well, there are points that I agree with and others where I do not:

1. In many cases, changes in lifestyle are enough to control blood pressure values, but in others, medications are definitely needed (And it's not a marketing issue, it's a proven fact)
2. Agree that you consume vegetables and avoid sodas.
3. I have no problem with the use of full milk as long as you do not have serious cholesterol or triglyceride problems.
4. Do not fatten the products low or high in fat, fatten the calories. If you consume excessive amounts of a low fat product, of course you will gain weight, since the low fat one doesn't mean that it does not have calories. What happens is that people trust that a product is low in fat or light (it happens a lot with sodas) to consume it in excess thinking that it will not hurt.
5. The body does not sense a lack of nutrition just because the person consumes a low-fat product. Malnutrition happens because the patient ingests a poor diet in carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
6. You are right, the fat that contains the meat is enough for its preparation, you do not have to add additional oil.
   Thanks for your comment, I love hearing opinions and discussing...
