To help with those sugar cravings in a healthy way, we need to prepare nutritious sweets.  I have created lots of sugar free recipes and here is a first one to start a whole series of sugar-free yummies.

Of course it is more nutritious to eat the fruit raw but sometimes we are looking for that comfort food that is sweet and hot. This is a good fruit sauce that does not have any added sugar and it tastes good too.

The dog “Bramble”, a Chocolate Labrador, lived in the UK and held the Guinness World Record for being the oldest living dog at the time.

What’s most amazing about this story is that the dog actually lived on an exclusively vegetarian diet of rice, lentils and organic vegetables.

He ate once a day this vegetarian meal, and exercised a lot.

The owner of the dog Anne Heritage, was a vegan herself, and she just fed Bramble that big bowl of vegan fare every evening.  She explains that Bramble “is an inspiration and just goes to show  that if you eat the right things and keep on exercising you can extend your life”.

The age of 189 years comes from the common usage of counting 7 human years for every one dog year.  Just so you know this number is controversial but any way you count it – Bramble is an old dog.

You might be wondering… aren’t dogs carnivores?

Mostly they are, but perhaps many of you have already have or have heard of a dog which was vegetarian.  This story just goes to show that that diet can actually be good for them.  Carnivores traditionally are the shortest-lived animals in nature.  Frugivores are the longest-lived ones  Dogs are much more physically adapted to eating meat than man so certainly this indicates than man can live a long and healthy life eating LOT of vegetables and fruits.

This story was first alerted to me by a person who worked for a high end dog food company. What this company knew was that the best way to help a dog to live longer was by lowering the protein content in the dog’s diet, particularly as they get older.

You could feed your dogs a low-protein diet and see them live a long time.

But this “dog diet” also works for humans! In fact, it works great for humans because we are not natural carnivores. Shen Lang a famous Chinese herbalist eat hundreds of plants each day and he lived to 180 years old. Although this is not ‘verified’ I do know that the body is capable or remarkable feats of regeneration and maintenance if we only treat it right.

If a dog can live 189 years, what makes you think we can’t?

Yours for health and success,
