Eating Your Way Back To Health

By David Calvo

Lately on a personal level, I have been taking another look at my eating habits as they relate to health. Years ago in one of my workshops, a students had handed me a book called “ The China Study” by Colin Campbell and told me to read it which I never did. Recently, I searched that topic on the Internet to see if there was anything current about it and found that a documentary had been done on the book titled “Forks Over Knives”. Netflix’s stream had it so I watched it several times and the information seem academic, competent and undeniable. “Forks Over Knives” is basically about eating your way back to health and reversing certain illnesses on the way. The documentary presents an interesting case with results beyond expectations. Simply stated, your health and dis-ease are related to your diet. Then Netflix, in its logical way, said, if you like this documentary you might like to watch this one as well, so I watched a series of documentaries on nutrition, diet and health. At the end of it all, I sat there quietly with the conclusion that I would be “turning a blind eye” if I ignored what I had learned.

With the information in hand, the task then was how to address my personal diet, turn myself into an experiment, and see how these changes would affect me. Of course, in light of all this, the strong winds of my own personality and habits blew hard and it became a challenge. Like many of us, I was faced with the riddle of personal change. The idea came to mind that others in the area might be interested in the connection between diet and health. I saw people posting on the topic in Facebook and also noticed in my brief conversations with others that they were having similar thoughts too… so an idea occurred to me.

Here is my proposal. If I have piqued your interest in watching “Forks Over Knives”, then start there. In addition, in my research I ran across an interesting Web site: www.Nutritionfacts.org, hosted by a medical doctor named Dr Greger. On that Web site, scroll down until you see the video “Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death” and watch that. If you are a Netflix streamer, after “Forks Over Knives” it will prompt you with a number of other documentaries as well. Research diet and nutrition and educate yourself.

Then, let’s meet as a group and address the topic as a community experiment. It will be a forum for many diverse perspectives. Bring all your thoughts and information including your personal health habits because we can learn from each other. We will meet once a month. Our first meeting will be Tuesday, May 28^th at 7:30pm. at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center. I have set up a Facebook page titled “Eating Your Way Back to Health” where you can post your thoughts, or you can contact me at: david@calvostudio.com

If you come to my same conclusions, which to me were undeniable, and are looking to make this kind of personal change with the collective support of others, then join us. All said, I can pass along one simple observation from the steps I have taken, when I wake up in the morning, I wake up earlier and I feel rested.
