thoughts...questions....experiences....

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone! I'm one of those " shy " ones who doesn't post often, but lives

for the next

message to arrive in my box so I can see what others are thinking...anyway, I

finally feel

compelled to give my 2 cents....

 

So a couple of days ago, it was mentioned that our human digestive systems were

not

designed to work with solid foods until we are about 3 years old...and that

ideally we

would breastfeed our children until that time. What a thought! I think it

would be nearly

impossible to do that in today's society- between time constraints and state

laws and all

that jazz.....however it certainly made me think! I don't have kids yet...but I

found this

fascinating...and it seems to me that it is quite possibly true that our bodies

aren't

designed to digest solids until much later than we typically introduce

them........Anyway,

while it would be one heck of a challenge to actually do that, I think it serves

as an

inspiration to really consider what we are giving our babies, and to try to give

them the

next best thing.

 

I love hearing advice from people, and doing research.....and the best part of

it all is

figuring out what works best for ME at this point in time. I used to exercise

for like, 3

hours a day in college (I was a varsity athlete, so it was mandatory), but that

doesn't work

for me now. Its a struggle, but its also fun to try to figure out what WILL

work. Same

goes for all of the advice on this group. Some of us may have all the time in

the world to

dehydrate foods and cut up melons.....again, financially, we are all going to be

in a

different place. I enjoy each and every opinion/idea that has been shared since

I joined

the group, BECAUSE they are all coming from a different place! Its wonderful!

And while

we can't all do everything...isn't it great to have a place to bounce these

ideas off of each

other? And who else can you ask about digestion and detoxing? I know my

friends would

think I was NUTS if they knew some of the things I read about!

 

So.....as far as my questions.....what is everyone's favorite juice recipe (if

you juice)?

 

oh, and any wonderful ideas for a super busy schedule?

 

not that this applies yet...but how about homemade baby food? I know that there

are tons

of books on what you should feed first, and how much...etc....but everything

i've seen is

based on store-bought foods. I'm thinking that I would like to make my baby's

food from

organic veggies, and make it fresh. All i've been able to find so far is that

homemade baby

food only stays fresh for about 2 days. I don't have a kiddo yet (as i said

before), but i

definitely want to have all that kind of info LONG before we go down that

road!!!!

 

Alright.....I'm happy, becuase this whole weekend I didn't want anything other

than fresh

fruits and veggies....which is a first for me! I am actually VERY excited about

the work

week, because while my schedule is hectic as can be, it requires planning, which

means I

am more successful in some ways.

 

Alright, thats my thoughts...i'm sure you're all tired of me now!
