Nancy Grace cried on today’s episode of the DoctorsTV show as she described her fear of dying from cancer and not being able to watch her two children grow up.

Nancy is a bit of a Drama Queen when there are simple healthy Lifestyle changes that she could use to cease her fears and ensure that both she and her children grow old in good health.

TheDoctorsTV and Nancy Grace: Living Longer, Saving Money, and Prevention Ideas for Graceful Families

The natural solution to Nancy’s dilemma is one that we’ve discussed many times. In addition to the regular screening by doctors for any signs of abnormality, people like Nancy need to eat whole foods, organic foods, healthy beverages, get a lot of restful sleep, let go of stress, and get regular exercise with a healthy Lifestyle.

Nancy balked at first when Dr. Jim and Dr. Lisa showed her plates with healthy foods that are fast, inexpensive, and nutritious for her entire family. Surely…if Nancy or a hired professional cook could season and spice up the broccoli, brown rice, and sweet potato fries; she can expect her children to devour them and give up junk food forever. My children did…

My whole family ate nothing except organic whole foods and drank healthy beverages knowing that this Way of Life was going to benefit them for the rest of their lives. Whole Foods are delicious when you take the time and develop the skills in the kitchen to know how to prepare them with herbs, spices, and real ingredients. It’s not difficult. It just requires that you don’t make excuses and get off your lazy bony butt to take action to be healthy and care for your family as well as yourself.

The woman with three children who insisted that she had little choice but to take the kids through the Fast Food Drive Through for burgers, fries, hot dogs, and shakes is clearly making excuses for her laziness, lack of knowledge, and ineptitude in the kitchen. She doesn’t even know how to do a Search online to find healthy fast food in her own community. It’s there if you look for it and you’ll save money while you save your family from degenerative disease!

Dr. Travis and Dr. Jim made some excellent points in clarifying the actual medical costs when you buy fast food or junk food for your kids. Do you know how expensive cancer is to treat? Do you know how much money is spent on drugs and doctor’s visits when you have heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or any other degenerative disease which is caused by a diet of processed fast foods loaded with fat, salt, and sugar? These doctors can tell you first hand! So don’t ever use that excuse that healthy food costs more than junk food – it’s not true!

Dr. Travis whipped out the lean burger, the turkey burger, and made cost comparisons to prove the point. Dr. Lisa pulled out the brown rice, the broccoli, and the sweet potato fries and explained to Nancy how she can introduce them to her family with bold acceptance. Dr. Jim shared the BANKER food snacks and had everyone taste the Kale Chips. Nancy appeared to grasp the concept of eating bananas, apples, nuts, kale, eggs, and raisins with a little coaching by Dr. Sears.

TheDoctorsTV and Dr. Sears’ Recipe for Kale Chips

The Kale Chips are excellent and you can make your own chips from other root vegetables and whole foods at home in your own kitchen. They will be infinitely better for you than the greasy french fries at any burger joint. Taro Root, carrots, sweet potatoes, beets, and other veggies make great Chips as long as you use healthy oils and organic spices to season them. You can find many Chips at your Whole Foods Markets, too, in case you have no time to make your own.

Dr. Sears went on a wild adventure after waking up late and making a fool out of himself by resorting to eating a fast food breakfast, stopping at an unclean restrooom, and chowing down on oily popcorn at the movies. We all know how all of those choices turn out that the doctors offered, but what about the healthy alternatives that they forgot to mention?

First of all, when you wake up late and have to be somewhere by a certain time; you can call and let them know that you will be a few minutes late. You can take two minutes to go to the bathroom before you leave the house. You can have a Food Pantry where you keep healthy snacks that you can take with you, instead of compromising your health. You can eat healthy snacks or a good dinner before going to the movies or go to a theater that offers healthy foods, snacks, and beverages. That is a happy ending… It could have all been avoided if you go to bed early enough to get a restful sleep and wake up naturally at a reasonable hour. This is a part of a healthy Lifestyle.

Honestly, if you will take a little time to think through these things in advance and organize your schedule around healthy choices and behaviors; you won’t run into these issues. You also need more than doctor’s office visits to screen for cancer. You need to make every morsel of food and every sip of any liquid count…for you and your children.
