imparted his love for cooking

early age.

The Oct. 7 meeting opened with roll

call and the secretary’s report.

One new fish is in the fishbowl; one

fell out.

Sue read an article from the AARP

magazine titled “The Good Stuff Liv-

ing Inside You.” It discussed how

doctors are discovering how microbes

can help fight disease, lower weight

and extend life. Most people believe

your gut lies under your ribcage, but

the largest area is in the large intestine.

As we age, our ecosystem ages too, but

if we know how to eat to protect the

microbiome, we can put the brakes on

to stay healthier longer and stay more

robust longer. Feed your microbiomes

by eating whole foods, not processed

foods. Fruits, veggies, whole grains,

nuts, seeds, and legumes pass through

the digestive tract, and the fiber is

used to create anti-inflammatory com-

pounds that lower our risk of aging.

Eating a variety of plants every day

maximizes your microbiomes, and you

have a happier, healthier life.
