23. Health is wealth and theres more than 1 way to get there

Ian Dowling | Thinking out loud

There is so much information available on whats healthy and whats not and the science changes all the time. I recently went home to Ireland to attend my cousins wedding and at the wedding I had the pleasure of spending time with my Grandmother & Grandfather who are both 91 years old. I am very inspired by them and they are both a vision of health for their age. Something that I always think about is that they have always been a couple who are positive and loving and caring and always making positive changes in their lives to be as healthy as possible. But they are 91 years old and healthy and they are not Vegan , they are not on low Carb high fat , they are not on any crazy diet and they have a Gin and Tonic and lead a balanced life and If I live until 91 then thats pretty cool in my opinion. What is healthy for my Grandparents would be unhealthy for another so maybe its the intention and the mindset surrounding the food choices and the connection with family and friends that will help us go the distance and live a long and healthy life. If someone is a Vegan and someone else is a Carnivore does it really matter considering not a single human on earth has all the answers? I know I am the biggest hypocrite I know and I change my mind and my opinion every week so maybe we just have to make the choices that feel right for us now and be open to change our minds again and again as we grow and learn and change while along the way remembering that everyone is on their own journey and seeing life from a completely different vantage point so there is not much point judging their lifestyle choices or pushing our current opinions on them.
