Reversing the Aging Process

Are you watching The Doctors Show on TV?

I TIVO their show as don't want to miss an episode. They talk about new technology and how we can learn about things going on within our bodies before we are aware.

I find most episodes to be totally fascinating. They had an entire show on
"Reversing The Aging Process."

That was for me~
One little bit of the overwhelming information was the benefits of spices.
They talked about the multi benefit's of cinnamon, rosemary and all spices.
What great information~Reversing damage already done, yes, they say it is possible.
They recommend lots of stuff ~plain yogurt with cinnamon each day.


One of the doctors went on and on about cinnamon.
"Throw the mayo away...use cinnamon."

"Exercise until you sweat at least ONCE A MONTH."
OK...that's my style..once a month.

They informed us that a gathering of weight around the waist could be a fatty liver...UGH.
I must have one, do you?
My good times are definitely saved around my waist.
Time to try to reverse all of that I thought.

Yesterday I decided to make my favorite sandwich for lunch...I LOVE banana sandwiches...made with peanut butter OR mayo.
Now, you KNOW that can't be good for someone with high cholesterol and B/P, right?
With the show information fresh in my mind, I substituted a generous sprinkling of cinnamon for mayo. WOW..it was totally delicious.


Wonder what else would explode with unexpected flavor i f we left out the no-no mayo and put in cinnamon. Potato Salad? hummmm...I don't think so.. Carrot and Raisin Salad? hummmm that might work. What else? Fried egg sandwich?

In the South Beach Diet book, they do substitute cinnamon for salt on tomatoes and that is a WOW taste, I know.

Why do we fall back on our old reliable stuff, like mayo and salt?
I'm going to try to take better care of myself.
Think it is too late?Probably not.
Two days of putting cinnamon on everything instead of salt is working.
For sure, it has totally taken away my desire for sweets.
Walking right by the cakes...and cookies...NOT tempted. Not at all.

When we make coffee in the morning we use whole beans and grind it with chunks of cinnamon sticks in the grinder. Use filtered water makes terrific coffee that rivals starbucks. Also use ground cinnamon when I make our breakfast oatmeal.

Cinnamon is also shown to be effective in controlling blood sugar.
