Someone sent me a link to a youtube which is a thing they showed on 60 Minutes called "Is Sugar Toxic?" It was very interesting, although I was surprised that they acted like this was shocking, revolutionary information! Everything the doctor says on there is stuff we HLC members already knew, but it is interesting to hear some of the evidence. We're just ahead of our time!
Another article I happened to come across had to do with how eating carotenoids can give your skin a natural tan! I'm interested in that because I try to avoid sun exposure, but I sure like the look of bronze skin! So this article said that people who ate at least 5 servings a day of these foods developed "a healthy, slightly darker glow." In a study when other people were shown pictures of people who ate the carotenoids compared with people who were tanned (I can't remember if it was a natural tan or fake), they chose the healthy eaters as the ones with more beautiful skin. If you're like me, you're probably wondering what foods we're talking about. Here are the top 10: sweet potatoes, kale, carrots, turnip greens, mustard greens, spinach, collards, dried herbs, butternut squash, and dark colored lettuce.
On another note, I was wondering if anyone was opposed to a few changes in the calendar. 1) Could we change the June

oops, I pushed enter before I was finished. Anyway, what would you think about switching the June 9th hike to June 2nd? Also, would anyone care if we switched the July 13th hike to Monument and went to Union Falls on July 27th? If this doesn't work for anyone, let's not change. I just thought I'd ask.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm off to eat my sweet potato with carrot/kale/spinach/turnip green juice :)
I would love to switch to June 2, because I won't be here on June 9. I'm also great to switch the other hikes.
ReplyDeleteI met my goals!
I am good with any changes to calendar as I am not sure of summer plans yet. Bring it on. Cant wait to start hiking. Doing OK.
