Hello World! As a lifelong scientist with some skills in food science, I’m now experiencing the benefits of consuming plant-based food products! ☺️
Nowadays, now that I have been totally BLIND since December 2017, I’m now trusting my half-blind wife & low-vision sister-in-law for preparing foods that I have never prepared nor cooked before when I had eyesight. So far, the results of my food science experiences have proven beneficial to my health! ☺️
As of this writing, the BIGGEST health improvement from consuming plant-based foods without any real meat, is drastic reduction of stress, allowing me to sleep more than four hours per night! ☺️ Being over age 50 and sleeping close to eight hours per a 24 hour period, is also reducing the body-wide nerve pain I’ve been experiencing from arthritis. — These are the immediate benefits I am experiencing, daily! ☺️
On the other hand, I am experiencing lack of energy per day, in which I can no longer stay awake for more than 12 hours. When I force myself to stay awake for 15 hours, I simply CRASH, according to my wife. But, when I wake up after one or two REM sleep cycles, I am no longer tired, and am unable to make myself tired for sleeping. — My solution is to lay down in bed, and fall asleep, NATURALLY! ☺️
Thanks for reading my latest blog post! Have a Great Day!
