QUICK VIDEO CLIP FROM YESTERDAY: youtube.com/shorts/ek2G7xm9zf...

Here are the places and resources that will allow you to take control of the percentage of calories from fat in your food in order to prevent, halt and even reverse heart disease and other non communicable diseases…

REMEMBER, the goal is to keep the percentage of calories from fat in your food at 10% maximum and your total blood cholesterol level below 150 ( without pharmaceuticals ), making you heart attack and stroke proof according to Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Remember, no supplements are needed to achieve this goal just support from your like minded tribe so that you don’t fall into the traps that society has set for you! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

To get the graphic of the ‘12 STEP’ framework we utilize for all of our events and recommend to everyone just go here to our non-profit site and it’s right at the top: aPlantBasedDiet.org/
While you’re there you can also watch the “PlantPure Nation” movie for free as a followup as it shows you how folks improve their health eating this way in just a few weeks time. You can see the move by simply scrolling down on the APBD site or clicking here: https://youtu.be/Jmtzn5rH4bo?si=UvnCL...

Here’s how to calculate the percentage of calories from fat for food dishes that you eat…
How To Determine The Percentage of Calories From Fat In Food
1 - Multiply the grams of total fat by 9 since there are 9 calories in every gram of fat. For example if the label says the food has 2 grams of total fat, 2 times 9 equals 18
2 - Divide the calories from fat by the total calories and multiply by 100. For example if the food has 18 calories from fat and the total calories per serving is 120, 18 divided by 120 times 100 equals 15%
3 - Don’t be fooled by the tiny 2 grams of fat per serving mentioned on the food label, in this example each serving contains 15% of calories from fat

Here is the FREE Healthy Recipes page on our aPlantBasedDiet.org website that gives you mostly HVF compliant recipes ( you’ll need to make some modifications most likely ): aplantbaseddiet.org/healthy-recipes/

The BEST way to get 6 pillar HVF compliant recipes is to use an AI tool such as Chat GTP, Grok, Perplexity, etc. and simply copy and paste the following request…

Give me the exact step by step recipe to create the tastiest <INSERT EXACT FOOD NAME HERE> recipe that is 100% compliant with the following 6 pillar Healthy Vegan Food standard and be especially mindful that this dish is at 10% calories from fat maximum…
The 6 HVF nutritional pillars for food that’s as organic and chemical free as possible:
1 - whole plant fiber
2 - zero animal products
3 - zero added oil + keep % of calories from fat @ 10% max
4 - zero added salt / sodium
5 - zero alcohol
6 - zero refined sugar ( dates, molasses and maple syrup are ok )

Remember, the fat level is key and nothing else has the ability to overcome the harm that consuming too much fat does to human health. You can do this!!!

*** Below are all the links promised that would be sent to you and please reach out directly to Mike @ 2402050417 if you have any specific questions…
Remember Denise and I need your help letting people know that we’re on a mission to eradicate NonCommunicable Diseases so please spread the word to your friends and family! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

FINAL CHANCE TONIGHT! Online ticket sales end @ 11:30pm for this Saturday’s Health Optimization Indian Buffet! (We just added a few more spots due to popular demand—don’t miss out!)

Hey Villagers and fellow health enthusiasts in The Villages, Lady Lake, Ocala, Summerfield, Wildwood, and surrounding areas! 🌿🍛

In our 55+ community, we all know the key to staying vibrant, active, and independent as long as possible: surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are serious about doing the best for their health. That means meeting in person, sharing experiences, and supporting each other to prevent chronic issues—or even reverse them—like high blood pressure, prediabetes, fatigue, joint discomfort, and more.

This one-of-a-kind event this Saturday, Feb 7 at 11:30 AM at Bombay Bistro in Summerfield is exactly that kind of gathering!

It’s the ONLY place you’ll find a delicious, all-you-can-eat Indian buffet that’s truly prepared to not harm your health:

100% plant-based & vegan
ZERO added oil (max 10% calories from fat)
ZERO added salt/sodium
ZERO refined sugar (natural sweeteners like dates, maple, or molasses only)
Whole plant foods, flavorful curries, dals, veggies, rice, and even a guilt-free dessert!
Mostly gluten-free options (with labels)
No sneaky ingredients that sabotage your efforts—just real, tasty Indian cuisine made to optimize health. It’s fun, social, and truly guilt-free!

You’ll dine alongside Mike & Denise ‘55 years’ Young—living, breathing examples of what consistent healthy choices look like. They’re proof that vibrant aging is possible, and they’ll be right there chatting and inspiring everyone!

This is your chance to:

Connect face-to-face with other proactive locals fighting the “silver tsunami” of chronic conditions
Bring a skeptical friend or neighbor for a “just taste it” experience—show them food can support health instead of harming it
Vote with your dollar in a real grassroots way—support restaurants offering truly healthy prep and our all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit aPlantBasedDiet.org (your ticket is tax-deductible!)
Pricing alert: Grab advance tickets at just $20 per adult (tax & water included) + tip before tonight’s cutoff! After 11:30pm, if any remain, it’s $30. Kids under 9 half price, 3 & under free. Space is very limited—no walk-ins!

Secure your spot now: www.eventbrite.com/e/1980195116900?aff=oddtdtcreat…

Tag your pickleball buddy, golf partner, bridge friend, or neighbor who could use this boost! Who’s joining us? Drop a 🌱🍲 or “Count me in!” below—let’s pack this place with positive, health-focused energy! 💪❤️
