Have Kidney Stones? Rock a Roller Coaster!

B'SD

24 Elul, 5776

The old Jewish year is coming to a close, the new one about to begin (the night of October 2nd 2016). I'm focusing on happiness and growth in that transition time.

Here's something that I find uplifting: Adding to my potted garden with Hyssop in a glass blender (the motor burned out and the model is no longer made, so I put the container to good use).





Here's what YOU might find uplifting: Medical news with a load of laughter (here's the actual Journal of the American Osteopathic Association research report)!



Over the years numerous remedies have been prescribed to treat kidney stones, but until now climbing aboard a theme park roller coaster has not been one of them.

WOW, this is exciting news about empowerment! Disabilities, aka differently abled abilities, need not hold back enthusiasm nor best efforts! That means FUN!

Newsflash: Attack of the Warm Fuzzies. The Feel-Good Story of the WEEK!

B'SD

10 Elul, 5776

This is the sort of news I always wanted to share when I was a reporter: The heartwarming side of life.

Patients from Sophia Children's Hospital watched the ADO Den Haag and Feyenoord FC soccer game yesterday, and were treated to a screamfest as soft, cuddly objects fell from the sky upon them. Team rivalry? Hardly.

It was a warm show of support regarding their quests for health. The visiting ADO Den Haag fans had known ahead of time that the special guests would be sitting directly under the home team Feyenoord FC's section. The rival teams' fans shouted their support of the children, while gifting them with stuffed animals. Everybody on both sides had a heartwarming time.






Give someone an attack of the healing warm fuzzies.

Happiness, Health and...

B'SD

29 Av, 5776


I've prepared for company during tomorrow's lunch, and cooked to my heart's delight. 

The thing is, when I cook for people they express surprise at learning they'd eaten macrobiotic food. It's not weird stuff: it is cooked from scratch, a balance of male-female strengths in whole grains, fresh produce, herbs, spices, sea leaves, and not a hint of preservatives, colorants or smell enhancers. Real food is a treat for the tongue. And WOW is it good for health! Here's some stir-fried kale with corn, carrots, cauliflower and sweet potato. I serve it topped with home grown mung bean sprouts. And there's never a bit left. Everybody enjoys this dense-nutrition dish.


Look at this cauliflower tabouli with lime dressing! Not one grain in it, but the flavor is pleasing.





Couscous with currants, anyone?





Here's a salad of black-eyed peas with fresh basil.





My kitchen smells wonderful.


Have fun cooking up YOUR fun!



Happiness is good for improved health.
