Day 72

Today I rebuilt a large wind chime that had fallen apart. I love taking something that is undesirable and making it lovely again. The chime sang as I walked it up the hill to Tom and Karen's office after it was repaired.

I read a book called Green For Life by Victoria Boutenko today. She is an advocate for green smoothies. One of the things she talked about that I haven't considered in my health is stomach acidity. Some of the conditions that indicate that your stomach does not have a high enough level of acid are things like belching, burping, flatulence, heartburn, bloating, etc. None of these are a problem for me but then it mentioned hair loss in women. That got my attention. Victoria says that green smoothies help bring the stomach acid to where it should be. She did not specifically say that hair grows back but she did indicate that her husband's gray hair had gone back to its natural color after a few months of drinking large amounts of green drinks. I think I need to up the amount I'm drinking.
