You Can't Out Run a Bad Diet

12/1/2017

Exercise alone isn't enough to ward off the big C. A whole food plant based diet is a step in the right direction and adding a morning walk can lower my risk of developing cancer....and heart disease and diabetes. I've been reading Food Over Medicine by Pam Popper. It's known that diet promotes our ability to develop cancer. Yes....I said, "our ability". Cancer cells are just cells that have been fed to go rogue. We all have the ability to develop them. 

I often say, "healthcare is at the end of our fork".

Studies show that a moderate/brisk walk can lower your risk of developing breast cancer and other types of cancer. So, I've added a morning walk to my day just to reduce my risk even more than I already have by eating a WFPB diet. Breast cancer doesn't even "run" in our family genetic make-up, so it's not that I'm aware of a genetic expression that I want to turn off. However, carrying extra weight does. And weight is one of those factors that has been associated with developing cancer. 
Although that is my primary reason...it's not my only reason. 

Living in a forest we don't get to see the sunrise or set anymore.

The word that hit me as I was walking this morning as I finished up The Magnolia Story by Chip & JoAnna Gaines on Audible, was the word, Intention. Now, that word has been way over used...but when you come right down to it....it's a good word that drives a lot of things home. 

I have to be intentional to see the sun...although it shines down in the opening around the house and my garden...it's not something we have shining in our windows anymore....a good design plan by the builders, especially in the Texas summer heat. 
When I glanced out the window this morning and saw it shining down the power line....I put my shoes on quickly so I wouldn't miss the best part of the day! 

I won't go out too early because...well, we've got some big critters here. Granted they might run at the sight of me...I really don't want to test that theory. 
I keep seeing big paw prints in the sand when I start out up the power line. Bob thinks it's most likely coyote prints. We recently saw 2 very large coyotes at the top of a hill a couple miles from our house...they were scoping out the cattle one early morning. They were the size of a large dog and could probably take down a small calf. 
I swap howdies with the horses  on the corner and then head back this way on our lonely country road. One early morning I spotted wild hogs in the pasture next door....I don't have any intention of running into them! I've tried to formulate a plan if I did...but frankly...I don't pack any heat while walking, so as Dad would say, I'm up the creek without a paddle. 
Then I walk down our long driveway into our pine grove and thank God for another day in Texas. 
As Fat Man Rants says, "Just do a little more today than you did yesterday."
