SoWell on Sowal

If I ate like you Mango - I would be so skinny I wouldn't have to talk to anybody ;-) . thanks for this information. some comments:

regarding the olive oil/lemon (or olive oil/wine vinegar) - this isn't bad at all on a salad - it's one of those things that I can certainly live with. the oil is so good for you. you can also add flax seeds (ground or whole), or use flax oil instead of olive oil. The ground flax seeds are kind of nutty tasting.

alcohol - this is one of the worst things we can do to our bodies if routinely consumed, and in mass quantities, like some of us wenches like to do. not only huge calorie consumption, but also ups the risk of cancer and many other diseases.

fresh veggies & fruit - we all need as much of this as we can stand. this is where I need to improve the most.

drink your water - we all know the importance of drinking a lot of water. I read this article in USA Today just yesterday. http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-10-24-water-diet_x.htm

olive oil/lemon (or olive oil/wine vinegar)

I prefer an equal amount of olive oil/balsamic vinegar. It is wonderful on salads and over veggies!!!

SO true--all of it. I'm afraid I may have given the impression that I consume mass quantities of alcohol Only on occasion--special occasion. There are many nights when I am stone cold sober posting:roll: .
Toots, you are so right about the veggies--but as I've gotten older, I find I like them less and less. What's that about? I will make it a priority though.

no you didn't give any such impression. I was only speaking of certain sowallers who I shall never mention here (allifunn and tootsie).

No one could possibly eat the amount of vegetable and fruit that is really required for optimal health, so I cheat, and I take this stuff

I feel like Popeye after drinking this.
It also is helps detoxify the body especially if you smoke and cuss. ;-)

Not if you mix it with a margarita mix. :funn:

Here's all the ingredients.

Mostly vitamins and herbs and some veggie and fruit stuff. Doesn't taste terrible. I mix with some juice. It's ugly green though. Really good for you. Like I said, Popeye juice.

I've had wheatgrass and it made me gag. but then I felt like I was "on" something for a while... lots of energy

is your green drink tolerable? how do you drink it down? I know you don't mix it in a margarita you can't trick me!
