Good Foods for Hypertension and Diabetes (Plus shopping advice!)




Dinner Tonight: Chicken with Sweet Potato, Okra and Figs
ARTICHOKE: Tonifies liver and kidney function, supports detoxification. Improves bowel movements, promotes digestion, lowers blood sugar and cholesterol.

SWEET POTATO: lowers blood sugar and cholesterol, helps prevent heart disease.

MISSION FIG: help to protect us from cancers, diabetes, degenerative diseases and infections, lowers blood pressure. Dried figs contain lots of vitamins and minerals like B6, calcium, copper, potassium, manganese, iron, selenium and zinc.

It was tough deciding which distressed look I should go for when I went jean shopping the other day. There's the dry-humping-rubbed-out-gams look. There's the spanked-out patches just below the ass look, which makes you look like your partner has very bad coordination and is possibly bedridden with limited visibility, or like you've been lap-dancing the bleachers...or a park bench. I chose the pawed-by-a-clingy-stranger-on-the-crosstown-bus look. It's really important that your distressed jeans send the right message to everyone on the street what kind of spanking you enjoy. Nearby, a spastic blond was bumming that she couldn't squeeze into a size zero pair of skinny jeans. She declared to her friend that it couldn't be a true size zero. Her friend offered words of wisdom that fell on def ears, "Why don't you just a get the next size up?" Miss thing was not amused. Being nothing is very hard work, once you get there you've achieved the ultimate challenge as a woman.

All of this recent snow has made me confront my dearth in proper foot attire. Spending money on myself is something I don't do very often. 50 lifetimes later, I'm still part cloister nun. 'These dried loaves will work wonderfully as clogs. Thank you, Father....No, no...On second thought, I couldn't. The birds might go hungry.' I almost bought some princess Laya space boots, but went for the furry Bjork brown instead. I fell in love with the Cate the Great boots, because she knew what to do with a horse, but I was looking at the Joan of the Arctic price. Whoops! I coulda saved myself a lot of heartache.
