Author Topic: People did strange things yesterday Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-01-2010 05:51 PM                        I love the title of this thread. It's so ambiguous, yet probably very true in most places. Anyway, people thought they were going to die, so they headed to McDonald's because they no longer cared about their health and wanted some of its deliciousness. I plan on living, but I don't care about my health so I eat lots of fast food anyway. If I die from that then I will know I have led a happy and very satisfying life.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-02-2010 12:24 AM                        A guy I knew had heart problems, so his doc wanted him to cut out all the foods he liked. He said, "Screw that, I would rather die happy than live longer and be miserable." So he ate whatever he wanted, and he did die early, but he enjoyed life more than most people. My philosophy is to eat whatever I want but don't overdo it. Also, living in a small town is supposed to add years to your life, so I got that going for me, which is nice.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 03-02-2010 12:41 AM                     I think it's a bit short-sighted to think that giving up some food you like will make you miserable. People's tastes change over time the longer you go with a new eating habit. Like not too long ago, I started eating (amongst other stuff) more broccoli because I knew it was good for me. And I didn't really care for the stuff that much. But now I like it quite a lot.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-02-2010 01:14 AM                        The more I eat any given food (except cheeseburgers), the more tired I grow of it. You will not find a more picky eater than myself.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I love a good burger, rib eye steaks, Tex-Mex food, Doritos™ and a lot of other things that encourage my liver to pump "blood mud" into my arteries as if it is the Play-Doh Fun Factory. Unfortunately I don't like the idea of dropping dead from a massive heart attack at a relatively young age either. Running, cycling and some moderate weight lifting seem to be doing the trick on keeping the cholesterol number below 200. I'd rather go to the trouble of working out rather than merely get a prescription of cholesterol lowering statin drugs (such as Lipitor) because I'm not very comfortable about what those drugs do to stress out the liver. My father gets on my nerves. He can load up on steaks, heavy breakfasts and ice cream yet still have a cholesterol level under 150. I think the difference is blood type (he's O positive and I'm A positive). According to the book Eat Right For Your Type I probably should be a vegetarian. Sadly, I like steak too much.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 03-02-2010 01:37 PM                     Personally, if I had high cholesterol I'd first start out using herbal medicines instead of something like a statin. For instance, Bupleurum Root - Bupleurum chinense (or Chai Hu in Chinese) can help lower cholesterol and triglycerides while it also has protective effects on the liver and gallbladder. On the other hand, it doesn't lower cholesterol as noticeably as statins. But I think that's an ok trade-off.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
