Should You Eat Better?

I’ll Never Forget That Day… The doctor cleared his throat. “I’m sorry… but I have bad news.” He looked at my dad. “You have cancer.” In high school, my dad was strong. An All-American football player. Now he was sick. Very sick. Before long, he needed an oxygen machine to breathe. And he stayed that way… for eight years. Simple things became hard. Walking. Sleeping. Getting up. Eventually, he couldn’t climb the stairs. He spent his final months in a hospital bed in the den. One afternoon, Mom was in the kitchen. She heard him gasping for air. She ran into the den. “Breathe, Paul! Breathe!” But it was too late. That night, the phone rang. "I guess you know why I'm calling." “Your father has passed away.” I don’t want that ending. Watching him go through that changed something in me. Not all at once. But enough. I started paying attention. Not trying to be perfect. Just not ignoring it anymo...

I didn’t learn this from a book. I learned it from someone I knew. Her name was Janice Gravely. But to me, she was always Mrs. Gravely. She was more than my sponsor. She was my friend. Janice Gravely My mom knew her before I did. She went to a Christian women’s meeting each month. Mrs. Gravely was there too. Mom told me something she never forgot. She would watch Mrs. Gravely fall asleep during the meetings. At that time, her health was not good. By her mid-70s, she had several health problems. Her family was even thinking about getting a full-time nurse. But that wasn’t the whole story. Years earlier, she was in a small airplane with her husband. He was flying the plane. Suddenly… he slumped over. He wasn’t conscious. Mrs. Gravely had never flown a plane before. And now she was alone in the air. She brought the plane down herself. She survived. Her husband didn’t make it. That tells you something about who she was. Then ...

Your body is always rebuilding itself. Right now, old cells are dying and new ones are being made. Your skin replaces itself every few weeks. Your gut lining turns over in just a few days. Even your bones slowly rebuild over time. So you're not the same body you were a few years ago. That raises a simple question. What are you rebuilding yourself into? Because every new cell depends on what you give your body. The food you eat. The water you drink. Even the air you breathe. That is what your body has to work with. It does not guess. It uses what is there. So if something is missing, that matters. But when your body gets what it needs, you feel it. More energy. Better recovery. Feeling stronger day to day. Not all at once. But over time. Cell by cell. How Do You Support Your Cells? A lot of people try to eat better but still don’t feel quite right. Low energy. Brain fog. Always trying...

"On July 31, 1980, during surgery, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, cancer of the lymph system. Five days after surgery, I was sent to M. D. Anderson hospital in Houston, the University of Texas cancer treatment center, the largest of its kind in the world. There I was told not only was my cancer widespread, but it was also incurable. After four years of treatment that included investigational drugs, my doctor told me my disease was out of control and he had nothing more to offer me. I was sent home without another appointment, but with his assurance that he would keep looking for something to help me. All this time everyone I knew had been praying for me. But now I had to face the fact that I might become another cancer fatality, along with thousands of others. But God wasn't finished with me yet. Shortly after this, I received a letter from a friend of mine in California, who is also a nurse. Include...
