Lost in the maze of nutritional products, vaso-dialators, insulin spiking is a good old fashioned nutritional objective . . . your health. With 40 staring me in the face next week, what I see in the mirror is still important, even more important than what is happening on the inside-- but it's just a much closer contest than it used to be. With a family history of cancer on one side of the family and heart disease on the other (take your pick, it's usually one or the other for every bloodline) I suddently found myself asking, did I get enough antioxidents today? enough EFAs? what's my fiber count for the day? almost as much as the holy grail of "one gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight." Maybe I don't mind quite as much taking in a few extra gams dozen grams of carbs per day if it comes in the form of fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables. Sometimes I don't think I'm as cut as I was two years ago, but I feel better, a helluvalot better. Not a bad trade off....
