============================
OPENING WORDS
Earlier, I had written about old folks and aging.
At 66, am I an old folk now??
My daughter, Jasmine, has been looking for a place for me to live.
Insurance will pay for me to stay here.
Jasmine showed me a site of a place they are looking into:
https://legendseniorliving.com/
This is an old folks’ home!
I have been so independent all my life.
Going to this place to live is foreign to me.
Do I fear the unknown?
Jennifer and I met recently, on Sunday, April 13. We fell in love immediately, and our relationship has grown since then. We will keep each other healthy and happy until our deaths. I love this woman so much that I have been looking for her my whole life.

BLOG 319–WHAT IS THAT YOU’RE EATING
Don’t just eat as a habit.
When you don’t eat, it does not hurt.
Eat when you feel hungry (but not too much.)
This can be a key to your extended life.
“While weight loss is essential,
What’s more important than quality?
The quality of the food you put in your body is essential.
Food is information that quickly charges you up.”
Kit Summers
As I was recovering from my 37-day coma, I found that I had the same eating habits as before the accident. I started gaining weight without the amount of juggling practice and exercise I had before.
After a while, I saw eating as a matter of discipline and control.
Learn to control your mind.
You will learn to control your eating habits.
With some research, I learned that incompatible food combinations robbed me of energy and contributed to my weight gain. Comparing my past eating habits to my new ones, I realized that much of what I ate was a habit. To break this habit, I started eating only when I was hungry and then just enough to get me past my hunger stage.
Try eating just a little, only when you are hungry. You will develop more energy, which will keep you in better shape. Also, I started not eating or drinking anything after 9 p.m. (this was later moved to 7 p.m.). As you sleep, your body has to work harder to digest what you eat late at night, and that food can easily transform into excess weight.
Stop and think for a second. How do you get a craving for food? First, you need to realize that you don’t get a craving; you create it! You make it by your thought patterns toward food. Is what you have a craving or just a habit?
YOUR EATING HABITS GREATLY AFFECT YOUR MIND AND ALL YOU DO.
I had cravings, as we all do, and at times, since my accident, tiredness enveloped me. However, sleep was hard to come by, and lack of sleep affected my concentration dramatically. I would have spurts of energy throughout the day, sometimes brought on by something sweet or my tea drinking, caffeine.
WHAT WE EAT DIRECTLY AFFECTS OUR MOODS AND OUR OUTLOOK. 
Change your eating habits, and you will change your life. By feeding yourself better, you will be happier and less irritable. To change your habits, start keeping a food diary.
Studies have shown that people who keep up to date with food diaries are more likely to lose weight. Before you even start to change your eating habits, keep a food diary for one week.
Record everything you eat at meal and snack times. Calculate the calories and other nutritional information, such as fat and fiber.
It has been discovered that people who keep food diaries are more likely to lose weight. Food diaries are an excellent tool for determining what needs to be changed to alter one’s diet.
Many people reading this book have probably noticed that we get more irritable when we don’t eat for a long time. This can’t be just because our bodies are hungry. Would it be because our brains are hungry?
WHAT WE EAT CAN AFFECT WHAT WE THINK.
The functioning of the brain is dependent upon its ability to properly metabolize the food you eat, of which glucose (blood sugar) is the main brain food. To get your brain to manufacture this blood sugar, it must have a sufficient supply of vitamins and minerals.
The brain’s proper functioning depends more on vitamins and minerals than on other organs. Since your brain is your biggest food consumer, feed it right.
This brain food is responsible for thinking, hormone control, regulation of involuntary functions such as respiration and heartbeat, motor activity control, juggling, and sense perception.
After the blood sugar in your brain is broken down, it produces neurotransmitters, which are a series of chemical messages sent from one part of your body to another. These neurotransmitters are ultimately responsible for your mind, memory, mood, and actions, which make up much of who you are.
So, is hunger driving you, or is your brain driving you?
Are you truly hungry? If the honest answer is NO, then put the fork down!
Because it’s not your body that craves food, it’s your brain.
Why is this happening to you? You see, cravings for food that is not good for you are a mistake of the mind; a habit you developed. Be it sweets or chips or anything along that line. These cravings show that your mind and your body are not working in sync. Examine your eating habits; do you just eat without thinking? You could eat to feel better mentally.
Inspect the causes of stress in your daily life and take steps to remove each stress factor. This will help with your binge eating. Make it so that “just” eating is not so satisfying, instead of savoring your food and each bite you take. Your brain is small compared to your body; you must give your brain what it needs.
Although the brain represents only two percent of the body weight, it accounts for over twenty percent of the total utilization of oxygen and fifteen percent of blood sugar. As you can see, your brain is ravenous and depends on your nutritional intake for its function. Once again, feed your neurotransmitters right to have a better life. 
EAT RIGHT AND YOU WILL GET THROUGH CHANGES BETTER.
Through the changes I have had to go through, I was feeling exhausted and unproductive at times in my life, and I let depression set in. I was not stuck in bed, but found it hard to get things started, get things going, to get things done.
I saw time going by and didn’t even try to begin to keep up with it – I didn’t care – because of depression. Often feeling sorry for myself, my moods seemed to keep people away.
A doctor suggested medication for me to deal with this low-level depression and anxiousness, yet, I did not want to go the route of drugs. I had to retrain my mind to think in other and new directions.
Eventually, I discovered that food intake had much to do with these feelings. Once I changed my diet then, my attitude and mind changed for the better.
Yes, we can mindlessly stuff food in our mouths or delightfully savor each morsel we consume. If you take the time to taste each aspect of your bite of food and examine the texture with your tongue, you can have a delightful eating experience and do this every time you eat. Make it a habit.
MAKE EACH MEAL SMALLER, BUT MAKE EACH BITE AN EXPERIENCE.
Eat slowly, chew leisurely, put the fork down between bites, taste every morsel, and only eat when hungry.
This may be a new way to eat for you–make each meal, each bite you take–a gratifying experience. You will eat less and enjoy your food more. You will lose weight and keep your mind and body in better shape.
Along with this, we often choose whether we thoroughly enjoy the taste of something we are eating. Savor each bite; you have that choice. Change your mind and change your taste. Be more careful about what you consume; you have that control.
For about five years after being in the hospital, I drank a lot of Diet Coke, at least one or two cans (or three) a day. It got to be a habit. Then, I read some studies about the harm that soda does to you.
One day, I just said, “No more.” Since then, a drop of soda has not gone down my throat for over twenty years.
I switched to drinking a great deal of tea. I used some cream and non-sugar sweeteners in the tea. Then, I read a study about how aspartame harms humans. That was the end of my romance with non-sugar sweeteners. I started using honey, honey (yes, you.)
You know how everything can be found to be unhealthy for you; we have to be the ones to figure out what is true for our bodies. You must choose what you think is right and consume correctly.
REMEMBER, YOUR MIND AND BODY COME FIRST FOR EVERY BITE YOU PUT INTO YOUR MOUTH.
There is a difference between appetite and hunger. Appetite is the “longing” for food; hunger is the “need” for food. We seldom have true hunger. Don’t just eat out of desire, habit, boredom, a need for comfort, or because others are munching away.
TAKE CONTROL, THINK; YOUR DIET CAN AFFECT YOUR MOOD AND ABILITY TO THINK CLEARLY.
Many chemical additives, intentional and unintentional, are present in everything we eat and drink. Although research is not conclusive, these additives might affect our intellect.
Be careful about what you put into your body; it will eventually go to your brain. Better things like a big salad, can significantly benefit you.
In 1991, I started a new habit: Every afternoon, I eat a salad, a combination of various kinds of lettuce, broccoli, spinach, carrots, and a few other things. In the summer, I grow much of my salad myself. Each week, I make a big salad to last the week. I hardly ever miss a day of my salad.
I keep hearing how salads are so good for you. Now, if I miss my salad day, I feel strange. Yes, we can develop better habits. Even when I went to Australia and New Zealand, I made my salads daily.
Develop a good habit for yourself (and, no, not a chocolate chip cookie habit.)
Along with salad, I came up with an excellent salad sauce (I like that wording much better than salad dressing). I developed this healthy salad topping by looking at many salad sauce recipes and taking the best ideas. It is nutritious, cheap, and easy to make. Here is the recipe for you. Try some; you will love it.
Kit’s Oriental Salad Sauce
2 cups olive oil
1 cup soy sauce
2 small onions, chopped fine
2 stocks celery, chopped fine
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup rice vinegar
4 tbl minced fresh ginger
4 tbl honey
4 tbl tomato paste
4 tbl ketchup
2 tbl teriyaki sauce
2 tbl sesame oil
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp pepper
I created a delicious fresh salsa to accompany this salad sauce about twenty-two years ago. Salsa is relatively healthy and has many benefits. It’s easy to make, and the taste is marvelous. Below is the recipe for making your own; you must let me know how it turns out. These are not exact measurements; change them to suit your tastes.
How to make Summers’ Salsa:
One can of corn
One can of black beans (or a can of mixed beans)
One can of sliced peaches, or 3 fresh peaches
One bunch of coriander (also known as cilantro)
A 20-centimeter diameter (8-inch) group of fresh Roma tomatoes (same as plum tomatoes)
One large red onion
One lemon
One lime
Four cloves of garlic, minced
Chili powder—one spoon
Garlic salt—one spoon
Honey—two spoons
Cumin powder—one small spoon
1 or more jalapeno peppers (depending on the heat level you desire)
You will put all these ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Use a food processor to chop everything into small bits, about one or two centimeters (quarter-inch squares). Start by cutting up the tomatoes. Then, peel off the outside of the onion, cut it into quarters, and put these in the food processor. Drain the can of peaches and put them into the food processor, adding them to the bowl.
Drain the cans of corn and beans and add them to the bowl. Hand-chop the coriander into small bits (about the same size as tomatoes) and add this. Squeeze the juice of the lemon and lime into the bowl, and add some pulp if you desire.
Add the chili powder, garlic salt, and honey. In the food processor, chop one or more Jalapeno peppers into tiny bits and then add them. Mix these ingredients well and enjoy your fresh salsa.
To make a spicy salsa, leave out the peaches and maple syrup and add more Jalapeno and habanero peppers, along with more cumin, curry powder, and chipotle spice.
Each person is physiologically different, so no one diet works for everyone.
One time, I tried fasting (and I did it really quickly). I didn’t eat for four days and lost 15 pounds. Strangely, I didn’t get hungry in those four days, either.
I might see how long I can go without eating sometime–I’ll let you know how it turns out (or you’ll hear about my death.) I mainly fasted as a challenge to myself.
Hunger does not hurt me; I’ve been through many more painful things. Going through the fast was quite interesting. When I returned to eating, I was more careful about what I put in my mouth. Most of us consume daily because we always have, so stopping that cycle was immensely fulfilling for me.
Try it; don’t eat anything for at least a few days and drink plenty of water. You will not be harmed by doing this. This can be a new and different experience for you. (As I wrote before, the more experiences you go through, the more fulfilling a life you can lead.) This experience might open your mind and body to new thoughts and ideas.
GET AWAY FROM THE IDEA THAT YOU HAVE TO EAT ALL THE TIME.
Food is the focal point of most social gatherings—hot dogs, hamburgers, potato chips, soda—it’s party time!
You don’t have to join the crowd and eat what they eat. Ask for some vegetables and/or healthier foods.
You may have also done this. I hate going to all-you-can-eat restaurants because I eat all I can—good food, no limit, a one-time cost, go-go-go. Think before you do this; you can have control.
Every fast food place now pushes biggie-size portions, a terrible thing, don’t fall for it.
On my trip to Australia and New Zealand, I found that perhaps one out of twelve people is fat. Here in America, maybe one out of four (three?) is fat. It’s this food-consuming consciousness that is so prevalent in America.
We must change how humans eat for the world’s health, especially your health.
For me, making changes in my diet (watching my vitamin, protein, carbs, less caffeine, less sugar) revitalized me and kept me from depression and anxiety. I required less sleep and felt better throughout the day. I was more productive, focused, and energetic when facing life with a better frame of mind.
If you are trying to lose weight or eat better, don’t think of food as the enemy. Eat the right amounts and the right things, and food will be your best friend, my friend.
After all my changes, there were times when I got down and wanted to give up. I examined my eating and made changes to fuel my body. Nutrient deficiencies make our bodies work poorly; depression is often the result.
A study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry compared a diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish with highly processed meats, grains, and fast foods. Those who ate the whole foods diet had a one-third lower risk of becoming depressed. Not to mention that eating processed junk foods means you’re more likely to be overweight, often resulting in depression.
I no longer eat processed foods. Processed foods are empty calories, meaning that they ruin your daily caloric allowance without supplying your body with the necessary nutrients to function at a high level.
Choose local, whole foods (or grow your own, as I do). Choose food that contains all the enzymes and ingredients together to feed your brain the nutrients necessary to do better for you.
Reduce your food intake and eat a better combination of the right foods, and you will also reduce or eliminate your stress levels, reduce weight, and be happier—all of which will provide a better life.
Examine your life and what you eat, and make changes where necessary. Change your eating habits and change your life. Remember, don’t eat for your stomach; eat for your brain, and feed it right.
EMBRACE THE PRESENT MOMENT- EVERY SINGLE INSTANT!

MY DAILY JOTTINGS >>
Each week goes by so quickly.
It seems like time is going by faster and faster.
You must live joyfully, daily, for each day!
Do you know what you did last Monday?
Do you remember what you ate for dinner last Thursday?
You can keep track of your doings for a few weeks; you will see your time differently.
Remember, the quality of your life depends on what you do each day, each moment!
4/12–Today, I went with Jasmine to a fantastic second-hand store. She bought quite a few things. I just needed one basket, so I did. This will be for my fruit and vegetables.
When I returned, I went on YouTube. Right now, I am being educated about ancient people who were in America. I don’t like to use the word “Indian” because that was what these people were called by the early explorers who thought that they were in the country of India. With YouTube, I do not need to watch TV; I can watch what I want.
Tonight, I watched Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. It was a good film, but I was sad that Spock is no longer alive.
As I lay down, I was scared to go to sleep. You know, what little sleep I get is always on my mind. When I awaken so early, I am tired for much of the day. So, I see why I am scared to lay my head down to sleep.
4/13–As I awoke at about 3:30, I knew I could not return to slumber, so I just lay there.
At about 3:30 p.m., Jennifer will come over to talk with me about Medicaid and how it could help. I was on Medicaid once, and it did help. I will let you know. So, I started straightening my room early, which looked nice.
That’s how I have lived my life. Keep everything nice—always—and it is better. Do you do this with your home and yard? It is a good habit to get into, so you never have to think about rearranging and/or cleaning.
Right now, it is about 7 a.m. I am tired and have not slept, and I can see why. As I wrote before, I think I want to fall back into my coma and not deal with life—another reason I no longer want even to live. Seeing a dismal future, why bother?
And, because I am tired, I have double vision — which I hate.
Mental Health challenges? Yes, I guess so.
I know life will get better — BUT WHEN ??
I’ve decided I need to start a new life.
My tinnitus is almost overwhelming today—the constant noise in my ears is too much.
One good thing about all this is that I found contact info for Jennifer, who is trying to get me on Medicaid for dental work. We met and quickly became close. Being with someone who cares about and loves you is so exquisite. We went out and got Indian food tonight, and we both ate a great meal. I’ll let you know more about Jennifer Labanz as I learn more. Yes, I have a reason to continue living.
It was hard; I sent a goodbye letter to Beth.
She is no longer a part of my life.
We had some good times together,
She will always be a part of my past.
4/14–I keep juggling balls and clubs to throw in my room on the single bed. I do not juggle much, but I should. Because of my limited sleep, I am often tired and don’t want to bother.
I worked on writing blog words today.
Heavy editing is the key to good writing.
Are you noticing? Let me know, please.
4/15 through 18–Being with Jennifer has been fabulous.
We think the same way about most things.
There are spectacular conversations between us.
THEN, KEEP DOING NEW (DAILY) FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
******************
THE GARDEN THIS WEEK
I keep this section about gardening in.
I do like the skill and hope you do, too.
Winter is here now.
But there are still things you can grow.
And remember about indoor gardening.
A self-supporting life can be a better life.
A garden would be a part of that life.
You must look into it.
Because I am back on the road.
There will be no more words about the garden.
I do hope Beth keeps it up.
We did a lot of work establishing our vegetable garden.
When I drove the van seven years ago,
I grew stuff under the sunroof windows on the top.
I may start that up in my van garden again.
You will find out, of course.
START YOUR GARDEN TODAY!
IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR YOUR LIFE!
******************
ALL OUR LIVES, WE MUST CHALLENGE OURSELVES!
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK >>
This week, change your eating habits so you are eating better nourishment.
And cut down on how much food you eat.
