Lou...V8 is made by campbells, so it likely contains GMOs, and is a bit high in sodium for some. but i enjoy it and its healthier than alot of other high sugar juices. i like veggy juices with some hot sauce. for the taste and the natural capcazin. (natural anti-inflammatory)

my tummy does not like it, constant burps

 

[j.w]

Sure don't taste like tamata juice :cheerful:

Your opinon of V8 Juice please.

Very high in sodium. 25% RDA, I won't drink it. It's better to make your own juice from scratch.

Found out today that I have Diabeties. Totally treatable with a twice a day slow release med. My something level is 8.4. My goal is to reduce that level to 7. Fully understand the necessary changes to my diet. Very glad to say that I fully embrace whatever I must do.

Sorry to hear that Lou but you are sure taking it well. Lots of people have it and it is very manageable if you obey the rules. Losing weight is a good way to get started.

 

[Big Lou]

Thanks JW. Have already started losing weight plus with my new diet and weight loss inducing diabetic drug I look forward to a new me.

Lou, sorry to hear that too. The most important thing in diabetes is diet. People have been able to get off their meds by cutting down on food and exercising. Not giving medical advice or asking you to go off meds of course, but Google it.

We have taken my honeys blood sugar from 200 something to 110--120 in the am with just 2 months of diet and exercise. Takes work takes planning meals, takes eating balanced and right. Still need it a little lower, need to get his ac1 level down, we will see how well it goes in March.

for those who still drink beverages out of 2 litre bottles...

Recycling plastic bottles to make mini greenhouses

Miniature Green House – One great way to keep your seedlings going with little water is to create condensation. By cutting the tops off of two liter bottles and punching small holes in the bottoms, you can provide a makeshift green house for seedlings to prosper in. Just place the end that has been removed over the plant and secure it snug into the dirt. The moisture rising due to the heating effect within the bottle can put water back into the soil as well as provide some protection from predators.

That was so nice of you to say John.

Thirty four years ago I was a young twenty-six year old soldier. Weighted 145lbs and run up to six miles a day! My young bride was oh so impressed. When I retired from the military at thirty-eight I weighted about 165lbs and ran up to two miles a day. Now at sixty my bride of thirty-four years is still proud. Love is blind.

Lou, I'm jealous of you.

The last time I was 165lbs I was 20.
When I was 26, I was 175 lbs.
When I was 38, I was 185 lbs.
