The inuit of Canada have historically lived on whale and seal blubber, a 95% fat diet. At the other end, Okinawans in Japan eat a 90% carbohydrate rice based diet and live longer than anyone else.


The main problem today in health is increased intake of sugar and fast carbs. These are the biggest reasons for the obesity epidemic in the west.
Whatever you do on this earth,
whatever you accomplish
if you do not light smiles on faces,
or provide courage in the darkness of lost faith

All wealth earned is lost.

The happiness embodied in the Self,
expresses through intense deliberation and actions
befitting loving-kindness.

Though intense sorrow & grief befalls you,
You never question
nor ask the rising sun,

for a piece of its splendor,
you never ask the moon
to ask your Creator

for a small token of awareness

In this you fail,
because you love to be loved,
and not love for love's sake.

Her filial piety, awakens
in the Heart whose fountain bursts
from parched thirst.
