Continuing in our series for the grandparent generation, but not leaving the children out, we talk about exercise. Once again, I’m going to rely on some recent scientific studies from Life Extension.
For so long, I’ve read studies and relayed them only to have people poo-poo as unscientific. So here goes folks. Use it or lose it.
As we become more and more screen oriented, exercising along with human interaction is becoming the purview of the few.
Besides that, while I know of no research, I was putting together that there were some patterns of learning disabilities in the population that mapped to screen/gaming addictions back in the 1990s. Back then there were almost no studies in Sociology on learning disabilities. I checked. Only a couple and one of them was on how confused or mis-informed teachers were. At that same time the education faculty at Texas Tech was reputed to be teaching that learning disabilities didn’t exist. Oh well.
Muscles exist. Tendons exist. Brains exist. They are all connected. And designed to move. Together.

We begin a series that while may be of hot interest to the grandparent generation, is still useful for the children. How should we understand the current debate between the “eat more meat and fat” contingent and the “go for only plant based foods”?
I will mention some of the leaders on both sides, sort out the discussion by the use of sound principles, and give some way forward. We can rejoice that science is advancing, we can be assured that we can do better, and we can be advised of the deceptive context in which we live.
Please share widely!

Do you see? the debate itself is caused by a context of deception. The result is either frustrating conflict on the one hand, or giving up as if one can do nothing on the others. Both are harmful. The right way, however, has been available to all of us, even before the latest scientific findings — which seem to conflict at this time. This busts the myth that a Biblical perspective contradicts science, or is unstable — or illogical.

So many lessons. Let’s be health, happy, and holy.

Jeff Meyers started a movement of mentoring. Did you know that young people really want mentoring contact? Dr. Meyers lets us in on the secrets of how to pass on the blessing. Originally a radio broadcast in August 2008.

For people who want to go deeper on this, ready for strong meat, Just this month I found pertinent message from Damon Thompson. Being a father is more important than being a warrior or a preacher or a whatever. Legacy is generational. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/damon-thompson-ministries/id618115914?mt=2

Please share any light you have on mentoring, parenting, or passing on the blessing.

Study: Omega-3 Reverses Brain Gene Damage Derived From Fructose Intake — Dr. Don Colbert

In the Western diet, fructose is consumed on a daily basis which is seen to alter brain genes (also linked to many different diseases). Food products line the grocery aisles which are sweetened with the corn syrup product. Fructose is found in a wide range of drinks, desserts, syrup products, baby foods, and honey. According…

Thanks, Dr. Colbert. I recently was brought up short to realize that I too had been tricked into low fat, high grain, and even high sugar diet — when I have known all along that there was no evidence that animal fat meant higher cholesterol meant higher problems with heart!!!! Yet there is SO MUCH disinformation out there that you think you are doing a good thing by eating low fat, and low animal source. And then you are taught that high grain is healthy and holy. And then you think, well, a little sugar, it won’t hurt. And then you wonder why you have belly fat and brain fog!  ARRGH.

Colbert has it right on science and right on spirituality. We have got to separate lies from truth. Please share! We want health babies and healthy grands!
