Good Morning,
Isn’t this exciting! This is my hundredth Re(visions) - thus my hecto-etip!
Did you know these facts around the number 100? -
there are 100 tiles in the game of Scrabble - my favourite game;
100% represents wholeness, purity, or perfection (no error in a test or no contaminants in a product) - I’m into purity but no one can be perfectly pure and whole and it’s ok to aim for a high number but don’t knock yourself out to be perfect.
1-100CE The first century Greek physician, Dioscorides, recommended the use of orchid tubers as an aphrodisiac.
(NH, 4/97, p.77) - even then they all about natural remedies!?!?!?!?
1-100CE The 1st century Roman gourmet, Marcus Gavius Apicius, was thought to be the writer of the earliest known cookbook. (SFEC, 4/16/00, Z1 p.2) - I wonder if they used MSG or too much salt (see my nutrional Tip this week)
Pythagoreans considered 100 as divinely divine because it is the square (10 x 10) of the divine decad (10). - Hmm, well, I don’t know what to say about this except that we are all “divinely divine” not just the number 100.
Thank you to my Re(visions) readers both new and old. I hope that you have enjoyed reading my weekly givings and though they have changed in nature over the last two years the nature in which they have been given has never changed - with much gratitude.
Nutritional Tip -
SALT! Be careful it’s everywhere. Lurking in the darkest corners and the most unexpected places. Prepared foods, of course, are high in salt and some restaurant foods are packed with salt in order to increase the taste and to get people to come back for more. The big chain restaurants are the biggest culprits - 1330 mg of salt in a Junior Beef Burger from Montana’s, made for kids - kids maximum daily recommended intake for salt (age 9-13) is 1000 mg! They get all their salt intake plus more in one burger. Imagine what’s in the adult versions. Baby food is another place you wouldn’t expect to find high salt but they add it because they claim the adults won’t be it if it doesn’t taste good to them so they add salt to appease the adults! The prediction is that young Canadians will suffer heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems at increasingly younger ages unless something is done. There is an action group at the government level to reduce sodium in these foods but so far there has been no action. It is our responsibility to make sure those foods are eaten as “treats” than as part of our regular diets and to ask questions of our retailers and restauranteurs - let them know we are watching and concerned.
