00:01 Do you love good food? I do...
00:03 Well, stay tuned to meet a woman whose cooking 00:05 has us still shouting... My name is Yvonne Lewis... 00:09 and you're watching... Urban Report. 00:35 Hello and welcome to Urban Report... 00:37 My guest today is... Donna Green-Goodman 00:40 Health Educator... Author and Speaker... 00:42 Welcome to Urban Report Donna... 00:45 Hi Yvonne... how are you? 00:47 Hey girl... welcome... doing great... 00:49 It's so good to have you on Urban Report... 00:53 I am glad to be here... I'm so excited about this 00:56 ability to do this from my home and I'm just waiting to hear 01:00 how your viewers are going to enjoy the Program. 01:02 Oh, great... great... well let's get right into it Donna 01:05 Okay... You know, you have 01:07 this great book that has recipes in it 01:12 that are just scrumptious... I mean... even the pictures... 01:17 I mean, the pictures just make you hungry... 01:19 so, let's talk a bit about 01:21 how you got into Health Education... 01:25 How did you get into it? 01:26 When I think about it actually... 01:30 my parents went to College when I was a child... 01:33 I was about 10-years-old and my dad would spend the 01:36 summers taking students to different cities 01:39 to help them earn scholarships for School 01:43 by selling Christian magazines and my brother and I and my mom 01:45 attended with them... and he had me out there 01:48 while they were doing it and before I knew it... 01:51 I was standing on the corner in Newark, New Jersey 01:53 just bawling my eyes out... and I'm like, 01:55 "Mommy, take me home, I can't do this... " 01:57 and so, she and my dad talked they decided 02:00 it wasn't for me and I went back with her... 02:02 and I got involved in cooking the meals for the students 02:06 with my mom... and so she had me in the kitchen with her 02:09 learning the skill of it... and I suppose that 02:13 that was a gift that God gave me because years later 02:15 when I grew up and went to College... 02:17 I majored in Family Consumer Science 02:19 which used to be called Home Economics... 02:21 and I minored in Nutrition and I absolutely loved 02:24 the cooking part of it... and then I started enjoying 02:28 the teaching of how you could use good food choices... 02:32 to improve your health and other choices... 02:34 and I just decided that I was going to finish that degree 02:38 and move towards teaching people how to just be healthy... 02:43 and I actually left my College, Oakwood University, 02:46 and went to Loma Linda University 02:47 to do another degree in Dental Hygiene... 02:49 I got out there... and I just thought 02:51 I could not be in people's mouths for the rest of my life, 02:54 so I went across... I was in the Program for 3 days 02:58 and on the morning of the 3rd day I got up and I went... 03:01 "I can't do this" because that was the day we were 03:03 supposed to be digging in our partner's teeth... 03:05 so I went and withdrew, and went across the hall 03:08 and enrolled in the School of Public Health 03:10 and began working on a Master's of Public Health Education 03:14 and I knew for sure that God had used my trip to California 03:17 to the School of Dental Hygiene to get me there 03:20 so that I could go to the School of Public Health... 03:24 and I studied there and I started out in a career 03:27 for the State of Georgia, 03:29 Cooperative Extension Service 03:31 where I actually worked with the National Program FNEP 03:34 teaching people how to make better choices 03:36 for their families especially food choices 03:39 in particular, I was working in a rural community 03:43 with families who had limited incomes... but the Program 03:45 that I was involved in was part of a National Program 03:49 that was in Urban Centers in Rural Communities as well 03:52 and I started there and had some other experiences 03:55 over the last 30 years... and I'm amazed I can even say that, 03:58 I mean, because it doesn't feel like it was that long... 04:02 Yeah... yeah... how I got involved in the career 04:06 of health education... And, look at God... 04:09 look at what He did... 04:10 now, there was one aspect of it 04:12 you weren't comfortable with when you were little... 04:15 Right... your mom brought you into the 04:17 kitchen and started there... Right... 04:19 training you... teaching you... and from there you developed 04:22 a love for food preparation... Absolutely... 04:24 and then God gets you out to California, Loma Linda... 04:28 you're thinking you're going there for dental stuff 04:32 and end up being there... learning food preparation 04:36 Right... right... God has a... 04:38 we always say this on Urban Report 04:40 God has a divine plan... and when you're walking 04:44 in that plan... there is nothing more fulfilling than that... 04:48 Nothing... Absolutely... and I think that's 04:50 something I like to share with people as I do 04:52 community presentations... as I talk to my students... 04:54 "Nothing that you decide to do can God not use to direct you 05:00 where He wants you to be... " That's right... 05:02 and if you choose to listen to Him, 05:04 then you're going to make more of the right turns 05:06 on the pathway... but He can use your choices 05:08 to get you... where He needs you to be... 05:10 and I thank God everyday... that He used that to get me there 05:14 because I wasn't even looking to do a Master's degree 05:17 in Public Health... And that's the other thing, 05:20 you know, it's like... we don't know... 05:22 where we're going to end up 05:24 we don't know what God's plan necessarily... 05:26 what God's plan is for us... but as you said, 05:30 God can take your detours and turn those into 05:34 part of the main path that you're supposed to be on... 05:39 So, we serve such a great God, who loves us and wants to 05:43 give us... the abundant life, Absolutely... 05:47 and so often, we don't really want it... 05:50 we don't really know what to do to get it... 05:52 but if we seek God... He will let you know 05:55 what you're supposed to do, and once you know... 05:57 and you're walking... I know you know this... 06:00 there's nothing like it... there's nothing like it... 06:03 Absolutely... Okay, so you got involved 06:06 in health and in teaching people about health 06:12 particularly at-risk people, Absolutely... absolutely... 06:16 what has been your biggest challenge... would you say 06:20 or some of your biggest challenges 06:22 in working with people with their health? 06:25 I think for me... while a lot of my professional experience 06:35 has been in professional circles with peers 06:38 the other part of my time 06:40 has been spent with the people in the neighborhoods... 06:43 and I think one of the challenges... 06:45 especially for people in urban communities... 06:48 and for African-American people 06:50 people of African descent... is getting them to trust 06:55 what you're saying... 06:57 and showing them how it can be 07:01 made real for them... because... so many times... 07:04 when we think of people who are disadvantaged... 07:07 we often think about people who are financially or 07:11 economically disadvantaged... but I was looking at 07:14 disadvantaged... more from the perspective of health... 07:16 so there are people across the broad spectrum 07:18 who have been living their way of life 07:20 for years in whatever community they live in... 07:24 and then you have an intersection with them... 07:27 and you want to talk to them about making changes 07:29 in their health... and for some of them... 07:31 that's a really big challenge to make those changes 07:35 especially the kind that I'm suggesting... 07:38 once, however, you can connect with them... 07:41 and build trust... it's easier for them to listen to you... 07:46 and that is one of the things that I did 07:48 in one of the first projects that I did 07:49 with the Extension Service and later on when I worked 07:51 with Morehouse School of Medicine 07:53 we actually got into the community 07:55 where the people were... met with the people 07:57 who were the decision makers who people were there... 08:00 trusting them... let them know 08:01 that we were there to help them 08:03 make themselves better... and then when they 08:05 bought into it it wasn't quite as hard... 08:07 the other challenge that I saw 08:09 was so many people... especially African Americans 08:13 who are always listed in the health data 08:17 as being the worst for every disease that there is... 08:20 out there... and I began to see as they were willing to embrace 08:24 the things that we were teaching them... 08:26 we were able to see changes in those medical outcomes 08:31 but you had to get them to trust you first 08:33 to do it... And the thread here... 08:36 in what you're telling me is getting them to trust 08:40 that you can make a difference for them 08:42 and part of that trust... comes into play... 08:45 with food that tastes good... nobody wants to be, you know, 08:50 eating nasty food... Right... 08:52 some people will say, "Well, I'll just eat it because 08:56 I know it's going to make me feel better... 08:58 I'm supposed to... " 09:01 but... if it doesn't taste good what's the point? 09:04 Right... and the real deal is... if you hate it... 09:07 you're not going to keep it up... 09:09 you're not going to be consistent with it... 09:11 but if you can have something that tastes like 09:16 what you normally have... but it's better for you 09:21 and even may taste better, then, you're not giving up 09:26 you're not sacrificing so much, and I think... 09:29 that's a major thing too... One of the things that worked 09:34 well for me was... whenever I was working 09:37 in an urban community, and I did this in the 09:39 Metro-Atlantic area in Columbia, South Carolina... 09:42 Augusta, Georgia area and now in the Metro-Huntsville area... 09:47 when you are working with Southerners 09:49 and or people of African descent there was always a chance 09:54 to talk to them about God... and I would remind them 09:57 that the first miracle that Jesus performed 10:00 was turning the water into wine, and when they drank the wine, 10:04 they said, "Why did you save the best until the last?" 10:07 and I told them that anytime you do 10:09 what God wants you to do, it's always going to be better 10:12 than anything that you've ever done... 10:14 and so, I then personally took it upon myself 10:17 to make sure that the things that I was introducing to them 10:20 to improve their health, were something that would 10:23 taste better than what they were doing before... 10:26 and it would integrate into their lives... 10:28 and they would be able to continue to make the changes 10:31 in their lives... so that they could recover their health 10:34 because ultimately that's what we were trying to do 10:36 And you know what Donna, that's so important 10:38 because you're teaching them to integrate these changes 10:42 these minor things that can end up being major 10:46 in terms of health outcome you're teaching them 10:50 to integrate these things into their daily lives 10:54 so that... I mean... you have in your book... 10:57 this book is so... I got to tell the viewers 11:01 this is called, 11:02 "Cooking Up Good Health" Recipe Collection" 11:06 and... 11:09 in this book... Donna gives these 11:11 different substitutes for things so, like, if you are used to 11:16 eating a lot of margarine for example... 11:20 like unhealthy, trans-fat laden margarine... 11:23 she'll give you a substitute 11:27 for that... she'll give you a substitute for dairy... 11:30 she gives you a substitute... so that... 11:32 now that you have a recipe, you can take that recipe 11:36 and make it healthier by using the substitutes 11:40 that are in your book... I found that to be very, very 11:43 informational because... informative because 11:47 there are so many people who don't know... 11:50 what shall I use for this? what other... 11:53 what alternative sweeteners 11:55 can I use that aren't going to be harmful... 11:58 what can I use that might not impact my glucose levels 12:02 Right... so, we have all kinds of things 12:05 that are in this book... not to mention 12:08 not to mention the mac and cheese recipe 12:11 that you have in this book, that I'm getting ready to make 12:15 my son is a mac and cheese fanatic... 12:17 and I'm really worried about his arteries 12:19 and I'm thinking... even now... I mean... 12:21 they have studies that show that atherosclerosis can start 12:26 as early as 3... Absolutely... 12:28 so, I really want to do something to... you know... 12:34 that tastes good for him... but yet, 12:36 I'm not, you know, hurting him Right... 12:39 and so you're recipe in here... is awesome... 12:42 and so, I'm going to be, Lord willing, 12:44 making it really soon so that he can have that... 12:47 so, you know, these are things 12:49 the things that you're offering here... the recipes 12:53 are recipes that are familiar... 12:56 meals that are familiar to the culture... 13:00 but healthier versions of it. Absolutely... 13:02 So... That was another thing 13:04 that Jesus did... when He left and sent the Holy Spirit 13:08 on the day of Pentecost... and all of the believers were up 13:12 in the Upper Room and they received it... 13:14 when they came out of the room and they began 13:16 to talk to people... everyone who listened 13:18 heard it in their own language, and I think for me 13:21 as a Health Educator... that is something that's 13:24 really important... and you alluded to that 13:25 at the beginning of the show what good does it make 13:28 to me... if you tell me how to do better 13:30 but it's not in a language that I can understand 13:32 and so for... people that look like me... macaroni and cheese 13:36 and when I talk to my students all the time... 13:37 and if there's no mac and cheese... 13:38 as a matter of fact... when my mother passed away... 13:40 they had a repast 13:43 for our family at the Church 13:44 and our relatives were there and everything... 13:46 and when it was over... we went back to the house 13:49 all my family members were like okay... 13:50 we know how you all eat and all that... 13:52 but then nobody had any macaroni and cheese 13:54 and I'm thinking... 13:56 my mom just died... and you'll come up without 13:58 any macaroni and cheese... it's unbelievable... 14:01 so, it's important for me to take what is 14:05 culturally relevant... which is... what Jesus did... 14:07 He met people where they were, so there are recipes in there 14:10 for Caribbean food... I had the wonderful opportunity 14:15 in teaching the Vegetarian Cuisine Course 14:17 at Oakwood University and I had students from Africa 14:19 and Haiti and Jamaica and US Virgin Islands 14:23 and I tried to listen to what they were used to eating 14:27 and what their family ate... and then tried to teach them 14:31 how to take that and convert it... 14:33 and for many of them... it really wasn't hard... 14:35 because so many of them, are allergic to dairy products 14:39 anyway so many of them use coconut milk instead 14:41 and we could use coconut milk and other milks 14:44 and when we were able to use the flavorings... 14:47 to put into the foods... that were familiar to them 14:51 then, they were interested in doing it... 14:53 and then they took it back to their families... 14:55 then there were a number of students 14:56 who would sit in my class... have a family member 14:59 who was sick... and I would teach them how to do 15:01 what they would tell their parents or sick family member 15:05 what to do... the family member would 15:07 incorporate that... enjoy it... 15:08 and recover from a lot of their health problems... 15:12 And that's such a blessing because once people 15:15 really get the nutrition connection, 15:19 you know, the connection between nutrition and health 15:22 a lot of people don't realize that no matter... 15:26 whatever you eat has an impact, Absolutely... 15:29 it either has a negative impact or positive impact... 15:32 but it's food... it is your body's fuel... 15:35 so either you're going to put good fuel in the body 15:37 or you're going to put bad fuel in... 15:40 and you're not going to have an optimally operating organism 15:45 so, the key is to find those things that really work 15:50 that tastes good and incorporate them into the diet... 15:54 Absolutely... and I think that... 15:56 if we can do that... because as you mentioned 15:59 we are the forerunners for disease in this Country 16:02 for chronic disease... so, it has to be something... 16:06 what are we doing wrong... we have to say, 16:08 "What are we doing wrong?" and look at 16:10 what are those things in the diet 16:13 that are contributing... that are making an environment 16:17 internally that's friendly for disease... 16:20 so... food changes it... 16:24 Go ahead... No, food changes it... 16:26 that's what I was going to say, food can change... 16:28 help to change that internal environment 16:30 to make it unfriendly for disease 16:33 Absolutely... and I think I don't have to go very far 16:38 when I'm talking to our audience what I really need to do 16:42 is to teach them how to substitute the bad things... 16:45 because historically... we talk about soul food... 16:48 and if you were to just take the meat off the table 16:51 of soul food... you're still left with sweet potatoes, 16:55 and greens and corn and cabbage and any kind of bean... 17:00 pinto bean, black-eyed pea, lima bean... 17:02 I remember my grandmother... great-grandmother cooking 17:05 those things... when it got to our desserts 17:07 we were eating berry pie and peach cobbler 17:10 and things like that... we would take fresh tomatoes 17:13 and eat those... and so... the foundation of what we eat 17:17 historically... had to be healthy 17:19 especially in this Country when we were enslaved because 17:22 if we didn't eat healthy, we would be of no value 17:24 to the business that was going on around us... 17:27 but once we became free... we started to eat 17:30 a little higher on the hog... and take it... 17:32 Literally... literally... that's what we did 17:35 because in slavery we couldn't do it 17:37 and then after slavery... we had access... 17:39 and now, we have access to everything... 17:42 and so on top of "the higher on the hog" 17:44 and all the other animals... we're eating the processed food, 17:47 and the sugar and the sodas and all of that... 17:49 so if we can recover our heritage... our history... 17:53 it would be a lot easier for us to connect to the fact 17:57 that, you know what... we aren't healthy... 17:59 and when I remember... I'm 55-years-old 18:01 so, I can remember 50 years ago, 50 years ago... yeah... 18:05 going to my great-grandmother's house for dinner... 18:08 and those people were not bent over sick and dying... 18:12 like they are today... Hmmm... 18:14 and that was in the 60s... but after... 18:16 maybe 65 or 68 or so... that's when we started 18:20 making poorer choices and we added 18:22 all these negative ingredients 18:23 to what was otherwise, a pretty good way to eat... 18:27 So, really what you're saying is... 18:29 if you take the meat out we really had 18:33 a lot of plants in our diet... we had the beans, 18:36 we had the greens, 18:38 we had the fruits and the vegetables 18:41 and that kind of thing And they were mostly organic... 18:43 because we raised them ourselves and we didn't put all this junk 18:47 on them that they're putting on now 18:48 to raise them en masse... and they were fresh 18:51 because we picked them from the field and we brought 18:53 them into the kitchen... and we prepared them... 18:55 and we tend to block that part of our history out 18:58 and back then... we didn't have as many of the diseases 19:01 as we have today... Hmmm... so... and we also 19:04 didn't have the GMOs... you know that we have today... 19:07 Certainly, as a matter-of-fact you save the seed 19:09 I have a good friend of mine who stays with me sometimes 19:12 and she came on one occasion and brought some heirloom tomatoes 19:15 that she had planted a year before 19:17 so, if you were the farmer, you kept the seeds yourself, 19:20 and you planted it... so it just continued to give you 19:23 what you had before... you rotated your crops 19:26 it was a whole different lifestyle for us... 19:28 but now we are less dependent on providing our own food 19:32 and more dependent on what is provided for us... 19:36 and we're not... as in control 19:37 of what goes into the food 19:39 but we can make different choices with what we eat... 19:42 that is available... Absolutely... absolutely... 19:45 you had an experience in your life... 19:48 that made this more meaningful to you... tell us about it... 19:53 I was vegetarian all my life... but I did do milk, cheese, eggs, 19:57 butter, ice cream, yogurt, that sort of thing... 20:00 all dairy products and in 1996, I went to the doctor... 20:05 we were watching a lump in my breast... 20:07 he decided that we were going to check it that year... 20:10 we weren't worried about it because I had another lump 20:13 before that... that had been taken out 20:14 that was not cancerous... but he was impressed to check it 20:17 he did... to make the long story short... 20:19 within a month's time... I was diagnosed with invasive, 20:23 aggressive, metastatic breast cancer... 20:25 and they went under the arm... took out lymph nodes 20:28 and 6 of 17 of the lymph nodes were positive 20:31 the doctor looked me in the face and said, of course, 20:34 because you're African American, because you're 37-years-old 20:38 because you have... 20:39 one of those more aggressive cancers 20:42 we're only going to give you 2 to 5 years to live... 20:44 and what we want you to do... is to have 20:47 a stem cell transplant 20:48 2 sets of chemotherapy, well actually chemotherapy first 20:53 stem cell transplant... more chemotherapy, 20:55 radiation and then Tamoxifen for 5 years, 20:58 and nobody seemed to offer 21:00 me any help... because of my upbringing... 21:02 I was very interested to see what kind of 21:06 "natural things" they would include in it... 21:10 but every doctor that I went to said, 21:11 "it was worst-case scenario" and that I would die 21:15 if I didn't do what they said... 21:16 and then when I enquired further about the treatment plan 21:19 they said that most of the women who even did 21:22 the treatment plan that I did... died anyway... 21:25 and so, it kind of made me put my brakes on 21:27 and go back to what I knew, which was... 21:30 a faith in God... a deep and abiding trust in God 21:33 because they were asking me questions like 21:34 "Don't you want to see your child grow up?" 21:36 and I'm like, "Are you kidding me?" 21:37 and then when they said, "Because you're Black" 21:39 I thought... but wait a minute, I didn't ask to be born Black... 21:42 this is what God made me... I don't believe that 21:43 God would make me... something... 21:45 that would cause me risk... that's just not... who God is... 21:48 and so I really got back into the Word... 21:50 looking for promises... looking for medical professionals 21:54 that believed... in the power of prayer... 21:57 who were trained medically, and could incorporate 22:01 lifestyle and less toxic substances into my system 22:05 and I drastically changed my lifestyle... 22:07 instead of eating all the animal products 22:10 I gave all the animal products up 22:12 and I now subsist on a plant-based diet... 22:15 totally plant-based diet... fruits, nuts, grains 22:18 and vegetables... and I think because of my work 22:20 as a professional... at the time I was diagnosed... 22:22 I lived in Atlanta... and I was working in a 22:25 cancer-prevention project for Morehouse School of Medicine 22:28 the irony of it all... Wow... 22:29 and then started working for the Office of Nutrition 22:32 for the State of Georgia, where we're teaching people 22:34 again... how to make better choices to reduce their risk 22:37 for disease... and so it was an amazing opportunity 22:40 for me... to begin to share with my colleagues 22:43 and the residents 22:45 of the State of Georgia 22:46 because we were a State-wide Organization 22:48 how they could make these changes 22:50 and they started asking me "Well, how do you make... 22:53 what's the best way to make field peas 22:55 and what's the best way to make cabbages... 22:56 and cornbread recipe... Right... right... right... so... 22:59 look at what happened here... so, you find out 23:05 that you have an aggressive, invasive, 23:09 metastatic breast cancer, 23:11 and for those who don't really know 23:13 what that means that means... it's moving fast, 23:15 Right... it's moving around... 23:18 it's growing and it's fast-paced Right... 23:22 so now the doctor is saying, 2 to 5 years... 23:25 that's all you get... and I'm sure... 23:27 that had to just be mind-boggling to you... 23:31 because you weren't... it came from nowhere... 23:34 Absolutely... It came from... 23:36 and you're a health lecturer, you're a health instructor, 23:40 and you had this happen, so, it can happen to anyone, 23:44 but look at what you did, the first thing is... you prayed 23:47 Absolutely... and you talked to God 23:48 and you recommitted yourself so to speak... to God 23:53 reconnected... not that you had lost connection... 23:55 but, I guess, your connection became deeper... 23:57 Yes... and then you sought out medical 24:00 practitioners who used integrative medicine 24:03 and I think, that is a very important point, 24:06 like... when you find doctors that are open to the natural 24:10 but they're also trained... 24:11 Right... natural remedies in the backwoods... 24:15 to take care of the body... now you have somebody 24:18 who is... kind of to me... the best of both worlds... 24:21 Absolutely... so, we want our viewers to know 24:23 we are not saying... "If you have breast cancer 24:25 that you shouldn't go to your doctor... 24:29 Go through a doctor... go to the doctor... 24:32 absolutely... And that's where I went first 24:35 but I think... the thing that was so amazing... 24:37 I thought you were going to another direction with that... 24:39 back to my profession was health education... 24:42 here I was... working on a cancer project... 24:45 I pretty much was living... on healthy lifestyle choices... 24:48 I mean... I exercised... I thought I was in pretty good 24:51 health... according to what the doctor said, 24:54 but here God orchestrated an opportunity for me 24:56 to bring it up a little higher, Hmmm... 24:59 and I think, for our viewing audience who are facing 25:01 cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, lupus, 25:06 multiple sclerosis, obesity... any of those things, 25:09 when you are seeking out 25:12 medical professionals... who have an appreciation for the 25:16 Creator God... they were not just talking about 25:19 you getting well from the "disease" that you 25:21 present with... but you're talking about what God says 25:24 in the Word... "Wilt thou be made whole" 25:27 because God is trying to touch those of us... 25:30 who are experiencing the consequences of sin 25:33 and He's trying to restore us... can you imagine 25:37 what it would be like... if our viewers would all just 25:40 eat less meat... if they would eat less calories, 25:43 if they would exercise, if they would pray more... 25:45 if they would be less stressed about their thing... 25:48 and connect to the Creator God, I shared with my students 25:52 a week ago... a study that had been done 25:54 recently... where they're looking at the activity 25:56 in the brain... when a person is praying... 25:58 and they put these electrodes on this woman 26:00 they put a dye through her body, and as she sat there and prayed 26:04 the frontal lobe of her brain, lit up... 26:07 just like yours and mine are lit up now 26:09 because you and I are having a face-to-face conversation 26:12 and the woman wasn't talking to anybody but God... 26:14 All right... If you can do that 26:17 and hear from heaven... because God says, 26:19 "If my people... will do this list of things... 26:22 then I will hear from heaven and restore them... " 26:24 and that's what God wants to do for His people... 26:27 and if all of these things hadn't happened to me 26:30 18 years ago... I wouldn't be in the place 26:32 that I am... because He didn't just handle the breast cancer 26:36 there were so many other challenges 26:38 that I learned to give to Him, and to trust Him about, 26:42 and to discover... how He wanted to prosper me... 26:47 not wealth or anything like that but give me what I need 26:50 when I needed it and lead me to other people 26:53 who were looking for the same thing. 26:54 Absolutely... so now, not only do you have 26:58 the information... you have it first-hand 27:02 because your life has been transformed by it... 27:05 Absolutely... Donna, Thank you so much 27:08 for being with us today... 27:09 I can't believe our time is up... 27:10 You have been a wonderful, wonderful resource for us 27:14 and a great guest... thank you so much 27:16 and may God bless you and your ministry... 27:19 and "keep us shouting" I will... I will... 27:22 Hippocrates said, "Let your food be your medicine 27:26 and let your medicine be your food" 27:29 today we've heard from Donna and we've heard how she 27:32 turned her food into medicine... 27:34 and she shares that with you in her lectures and her books... 27:38 God has given us healing foods from the earth 27:41 to support our bodies... why not make some changes 27:44 in your diet today... why not start drinking more 27:47 water... exercise... get some sunshine... 27:50 get a plant-based diet... move more towards eating 27:54 from the earth... and less junk food... 27:57 Well, our Program has come to an end... 27:59 Thanks so much for tuning in... 28:00 Join us next time... 28:02 It just wouldn't be the same without you... |
