I have a friend whose father was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 70 - but within just 6 months he had "cured" himself through a strict regime of excercise and healthy eating. This shows just how we are what we eat and how we can actually heal ourselves. Thanks Madeleine, I am so glad my words made a big impact on you :-)

This spring and summer I've been really enjoying buying beautiful fruits and vegetables and other food and cooking dinner for my BF and for myself. Both of us have type 2 diabetes, but our healthful, nutritious diet (along with exercise) help us both to control it quite well. And this is all without sacrifice. (I've given up certain bad foods like spare-ribs over the years, but I don't miss them at all.) There really is something wonderful about cooking a great meal and eating it while we talk, drink a little wine, and listen to music. Arvind, your word made a great impact on me.

Your post makes me think about how I could really cook differently. I mean I cook the same things in the same way anyway - why not make it fun? So I have decided that for the next 3 meals I cook, I will do something unique and different in each meal. This could mean cutting vegetables in a different shape, combining different ingredients - anything different that strikes me. Thank you! :) Hi!

I have been around the brahma kumaris for many years now as both my parents have been on that path for almost 30 years. Many a time I have had the privilege to have eaten with BKs and the food always tastes divine. Thank you for your comment Jasvir and welcome to my blog.
