Papa’s World – Through the years – our HEALTHY lives!

December 19, 2025August 16, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

It is hard to envision that we became involved with the health and nutrition community-

Through our application to become a partner with Juice Plus.

Over twenty plus years –

And in that time –

We have traveled the country from coast to coast.

We have built a team –

And helped countless people age into their senior years – HEALTHY!

Through the child program offered by Juice Plus-

A child between the ages of 4 through 19 –

And up to 25 if they go to college-

They can be sponsored by an adult

And as long as the adult maintains their order –

Receive for FREE –

The Juice Plus product- only paying for shipping!

Thirty Fruits and vegetables –

Blended – put in capsules – gummies or liquid –

Those are researched and published –

That proves they go directly into the bloodstream –

After ingesting them!

Our lives have changed during these past twenty-plus years.

I have given up “MILK”!

I have also given up “SODAS”!

I have cut way down on “BEER” and no wine or hard drinks!

I drink mainly water and unsweetened “ICE TEA”!

Daily, I drink the above-

“JUICE PLUS COMPLETE- MY FAVORITE IS DUTCH CHOCOLATE!”

I mix this with crushed ice – about a quarter cup –

A quarter cup of filtered water-

And a cup of either SOY MILK or ALMOND MILK!

This replaces for me –

Breakfast or lunch.

It fills me up!

One of my habits still exists.

Every morning I have one cup of coffee!

I sometimes replace it with a cup of tea!

The rest of the day is “WATER”!

LOL!

I had a widow-maker heart attack!

I had to have open heart surgery!

I had to have four bypasses.

Because for FORTY YEARS –

I survived on fast food – ate unhealthy –

AND I PAID THE PRICE.

My recent BLOOD TEST RESULTS!

CHOLESTROL – 99!

TRIGLYCERIDES – 57!

LDL- 54!

HDL- 32! ( need more exercise!)

VLDL- 13!

I AM DIABETIC – years of sweets and food I should not have eaten!

AIC- 6.7 ! I have to get it below 6.4!

GLUCOSE- 110 – I HAVE TO GET IT BELOW 100!

THYROID- 1.930 NORMAL!

TWENTY PLUS YEARS AGO –

We embarked on a journey to age as healthily as we possibly could into our SENIOR YEARS-

I firmly believe with the help of the above –

We have accomplished that.

We continue on a path that has not always been perfect-

But better than it would have been!

This product is sold in the USA and over TWENTY COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE!

It is part of the WINTER and SUMMER OLYMPIC TEAMS.

Professional athletes take it as it is, NSA certified.

For TWENTY PLUS years –

Sherry has been a partner in the health industry.

Papa’s World – Some great times in pictures!

In the Brambleton Town Center –

A race for HEALTH was held.

Since I do not run –

I do not like to “THUD” around!

Sherry, Tammy, and Marcus ran with the three youngest grandkids.

Here they all are after crossing the finish line!

This was a few years before we sold our home and moved South!

A GREAT TIME IN PICTURE!

SMALL ACTS DO CHANGE THE WORLD!

Cindy and Buck –

Our dear friends for decades.

On one of our vacation trips!

Here we stand above Lake Tahoe.

Hard to fathom that it’s a few months –

Just how much snow will be here!

We took in miles and miles of exploring on this trip.

So many times we have traveled the world together.

Resulting in GREAT TIME IN A PICTURE!

HHHHHMMMMM! I could, but I won’t! LOL

LOVE – LOVE this picture.

Taken a couple of years ago –

Our three oldest granddaughters-

SARAH, MADDY, and ELLA.

Standing on the road in front of our home in Cameron Woods Community.

This was the sunset for that day!

They had just returned from running down that hill.

GREAT TIME IN A PICTURE!

LOL – A SENIOR MOMENT IN TIME!

A Christmas time photo of all six grandkids at Tammy and Marcus’ house.

Brings back so many memories!

Today, Sarah is in college- Ella and Maddy have graduated from college-

Taylor and Cassidy are freshmen in high school, and Bode is in fifth grade!

GREAT TIME IN A PICTURE!

In our senior years –

living life to the plus one day at a time.

Papa’s World – building the – BRAIN one Omega at a time

May 14, 2025August 13, 2024 / Tom / Leave a comment

For the last year plus –

I have been taking a OMEGA –

To try and keep my memory intact !

I have been told –

OMEGA’S are good for this !

In fact – I have been taking multiple OMEGA’S !

This is the newest product –

by Juice Plus –

And the big story here it is NOT made from fish oil –

But from ALGAE –

which is where the fish get it from !

And – secondly –

Juice Plus has its own ALGAE FARMS !

So – you do not have to worry about MERCURY

or the fishy taste !

It tastes like a ORANGE CREAMSISCLE !!!!

This has become part of my road to good health –

( I actually take double – four capsules a day ! )

Memory plays a big role in my life-

Writing a blog every day –

Thinking back to times gone by –

Seeing in my mind the Past –

So – I try as hard as I can to maintain that edge!

I do not want to go to the store to buy a fish –

Nor do I want to come home with a Rabbit –

I want the ability to WRITE ABOUT IT –

not live it !

It works for us –

It provides a insurance for us in what we do not eat –

I hope this helps you out there –

We have believed for 13 years !

Thank you for reading –

thank you for coming into Papa’s World

Papa’s World – Better Health and weight loss!

August 27, 2024June 11, 2024 / Tom / Leave a comment

My journey to better health and trying to maintain and lose weight is years into a better life journey!

All my life I have battled the weight gained – even staying at the same weight is very hard for me!

On top of all that – I am diabetic – and have to watch the sugars – starches –

I am on Metformin – and currently at 6.7% ALC and Glucose at 115!

My GP wants me “DOWN” to 6.5 or below and Glucose under 100!

On the Plus side – my Cholesterol is 108 – my Triglycerides – are 81 and HDL – is 33.

My VDL Cholesterol is 10 – my LDL Cholesterol is 59 and my LDL Cholesterol is 59!

My weight as of this blog is up and down – 189.6 lbs. to 192.4 lbs. every day!

NOTE: I graduated from H.S. in 1967 at 195 lbs.

I see my GP every four months for blood tests – I consume hardly any sugars –

I do not like hard candy and if I have cake – I do not eat the frosting!

I have for almost nineteen years taken a Food Supplement called JUICE PLUS.

This is where every day I get absorbed into my bloodstream –

nutrients from 30 different FRUITS – VEGETABLES and BERRIES!

All are grown on their own controlled farms with no pesticides.

I also take every day OMEGAS – four different kinds from ALGAE and not fish –

grown on The JUICE PLUS farms – no toxics or fish oil or mercury.

My journey is ongoing – each day – my day starts with coffee – one cup –

yes, I know caffeine may not be beneficial – so I limit it – I drink water the rest of the day.

NO SODA – NO DAIRY(milk) – very little butter or oils,

And I have cut drinking down to be – well – if we are by ourselves weeks at a time – no alcohol.

Going out by ourselves – maybe a draft beer – but most of the time water or unsweetened tea.

Even getting together with neighbors or friends – I have tended not to drink.

I also drink a SHAKE every day if I can – made out of COMPLETE – a product of JUICE PLUS.

A powder – French Vanilla or Dutch Chocolate –

I add crushed ice – water and a cup of Almond milk.

Put it in a blender and mix until the ice is gone –

This I substitute for a breakfast or lunch meal.

It gives me plant-based protein and a host of nutrients.

Eating as healthy as I can has given me control over my weight gain and loss each day.

In the four years I have done this on my own –

I have gone from 205 lbs. to the current 189.6 lbs. thru the 192.4 lbs. daily.

A gradual decline over the years.

This formula has worked for me in keeping it off and of course, there are times I treat myself!

Going out to eat – I almost always look for salads and add on of chicken or salmon.

But – there are times I splurge and cheat a little!

With friends cheating with ICE CREAM which I love – but this is rare –

My journey is my own – with help from my wife Sherry who also has her own journey of better health.

She is a tall woman – and watches what she eats every day and also for almost nineteen years-

has taken the health Supplements of Juice Plus and Omegas.

She also does a shake every day and a drink she makes to clean out the impurities – cleansing as she calls it – from both of our bodies.

We are both 75 years old – living life to the plus one day at a time.

My hope is this can bring hope to those who struggle every day being a part of the Baby Boomers –

and SENIOR population!

Our journey is not simple – but it is real –

I strive to age as healthy as I can into old age.

Thanks for reading and as always HGD!

Papa’s World – Mother and Daughters – Sherry – Debby and Tammy! Beautiful inside and out!

June 3, 2021May 15, 2021 / Tom / Leave a comment

Dreams – mother and daughters share the DREAM!

They laugh – cry – hold one another – all the while sharing life together – even though they are 300 miles apart

The bond exists each and every day!

Debby – the oldest – Sherry – known as Grandma and MorMor – Tammy – the youngest.

When we decided to move to NVA in 1999 – Tammy decided right away to follow us down to Va.

In one years time – Debby moved with her husband and small one year old daughter Maddy!

They have always been near each other – 3 hours away and no further.

Sherry decided to become a CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH – and start her own business from home –

As a away to supplement her retirement income – it worked and she retired early!

Network marketing – in HEALTH and NUTRITION!

Today – that business thrives and allows us the freedom to travel –

move and build a new home.

In that same since – 15 years ago – Debby decided to do the same – with two young children –

And moving out to the country as it was cheaper to live – she also followed her mothers footsteps!

She became a CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH – and started her own business from home –

And surpassed her mother!

Today – they both lead “TEAM GENERATIONS” – promoting health and nutrition for families and children.

During that time – Tammy married – had twin girls and then our first grandson!

She also followed her mother into the Health and Nutrition field – establishing her own home based business.

Along the way she quit her job and opened up a Upscale children’s consignment shop –

And has recently added another home based business – promoting healthy eating!

She now runs three business’s!

And it is because she is her mother’s daughter!

IMAGINE – ACT – EMULATE – LEAD – DUPLICATE – SUCCEED – SUCCESS!

The story of Mother and Daughters – although now 300 miles away – following her in her footsteps –

always in contact – we visit and they visit – zoom – text or call.

Promoting HEALTH and NUTRITION – one child – one day at a time.

I see card games –

exploring and golf coming up !

Our friends from back home –

Steve and Elaine –

We try to do something with all our friends every four to six months!

And once again – we will try to beat Steve and Sherry !

Of course it might also be GUYS vs. GALS –

Either way –

it will be fun.

Our other friends will be stopping in a week or so after this.

And then it will be over –

friends will be gone –

and we will embark upon our next adventure !

Living life –

doing it my way –

And we are able to do this –

Because we had a PLAN ” B” !

HEALTH & WEALTH started here.

In retirement –

we would of had to downsize – moved –

It would of been a LOT different !

THIRTEEN YEARS have passed –

NO REGRETS !

Welcome to Papa’s World

Thank you

Papa’s World – five and one half years – MPI TEST

January 26, 2020January 9, 2020 / Tom / 2 Comments

My heart attack occurred on 11-4-13 –

beginning a new life.

My last visit to my heart doctor –

He told me it was time to have Myocardial Perfusion Imaging test.

We would schedule it before my next appointment –

Yesterday – at 7:15 am. it began.

For the next 3 to 4 hours –

I was undergoing scans – injections –

Blood pressure readings –

treadmill and more injections and scans.

The injections were a Nuclear medicine –

to go into the heart through a IV –

and then 18 minutes of scanned picture taking while being absolutely still.

I was worried –

first – I do not like needles –

and to have something like that injected into your artery !!!

You sign a form –

some side effects may be HEART ATTACK or DEATH !

The TREAD MILL – I was all hooked up –

I had to hit a heart rate of 129 to 150 –

IT TOOK TEN MINUTES

and they increased the incline and speed every three minutes.

Had I been in a car instead of the tread mill –

I would of done just that !

I DO NOT RUN –

I DO NOT LIKE TO RUN –

I HURT MYSELF WHEN I RUN !

In the ten minutes I was on there –

I DID ONE MILE !

LORD HELP ME !!!

The last 2 .5 minutes were at a 4.2 minute mile !

I am 70 years old –

dancing is more my speed !

When I had cooled down –

she told me –

your treadmill for your age

IS VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT !!!!!

My prayers were answered –

I did not slip off –

I hung on –

And I finished it !

I had to go back a second time for a scan –

and then sit and wait.

Before I started – they told me –

if anything is wrong –

you will go upstairs

If it is all right – you go home –

I WENT HOME – all clear !

On the way home – they called me –

They had read the scans –

they could see the OLD HEART ATTACK –

THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENING !!

I was clear –

my cholesterol at my last test – 118 !!!!

WHY – WHAT -and HOW ?

WHY ?

My wife Sherry and following her schedule – and JUICE PLUS !

Those are my TWO REASONS WHY –

WHAT – healthy eating

and my supplement –

ORCHARD – GARDEN – VINEYARD and OMEGA’S

Five and one half years after my WIDOW MAKER –

I am clear –

I am me –

And that my friends is HOW I beat the odds !

I have friends out there

who have had HEART problems –

My advice –

find a partner to motivate you –

And then find a whole food supplement

with RESEARCH !

I found mine –

Papa’s World – How old are you ?

January 23, 2020January 8, 2020 / Tom / 3 Comments

Is it HOW OLD YOU ARE or HOW OLD DO YOU FEEL ?

All my life – I have been early to bed and early to rise !

I just can not help it –

I try to stay up –

and I try to stay in bed –

BUT – I start to fall asleep –

and then – I get my second wind –

And – that is when I can not go to sleep –

but I still wake up early !

And then – being 70 –

feeling 50 and knowing all of the above –

Puts you in the right frame of mind –

GO TO BED WHEN YOU ARE TIRED –

GET UP WHEN YOU WAKE UP –

and make the most of your day !

Works for me !

We try every day –

do not eat this –

Lets walk – get in our steps –

MOVE & MOVE

But – you age –

For most people this is natural –

But to age and feel younger –

It is so much easier to just order in –

But you know something –

I LIKE ASPARAGUS !

I enjoy cooking –

( cleaning up – not so much )

But we try every day to eat GREEN –

We try to eat healthy –

And then there are the sweets –

seems the older I get –

the more I want my cake and eat it too !

I am not much of a gummy or hard candy person –

But – put a milk chocolate covered peanut out –

beware !

What does keep us young in mind and body –

Is the interaction with our grand kids .

Watching them grow up –

Seeing them excel –

Being a part of it !

So – is the 70 now the new 50 ?

I guess it is what ever you think it to be –

In our lives –

the answer is yes –

We try to maintain

Doing that requires good eating –

exercise – ( walking)

And finding a way to get as much whole food into our bodies that we can.

We know quite well what is on that list of older than dirt –

But then again –

We also know what is on our list to age and maintain.

It is all for us

the matter of the mind –

And doing what we think is right for us –

I hope you like reading Papa’s World

WELCOME TO PAPA’S WORLD

Papa’s World – Why I take JUICE PLUS & OMEGA’S

January 20, 2020January 4, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

It has now been over 13 years since I started !

My journey began with

” NO – I DON’T NEED IT ” !

Actually I DID NEED IT –

but I did not know what I DIDN’T KNOW!

We were married on June 25 th. 1982 –

both of us ate terrible –

Smoked – drank Soda’s –

And thought we were invincible !

Little did we know

and when the time came for a change –

I KNEW LAST !

Sherry came to me and said we are making a change –

well – she was !

It took me 3 1/2 months to see it to believe it !

That is when I started taking a supplement

( whole food ) capsules !

Fruits – Veggies – Berries –

that are JUICED – Slowly dried – into a powder –

And come packaged in

RED ( fruits) known as ORCHARD BLEND –

GREEN ( veggies ) known as GARDEN BLEND

PURPLE ( berries) known as VINEYARD

And the research shows as soon as they dissolve in your stomach –

THEY GO IMMEDIATELY INTO YOUR BLOOD STREAM !

Everything is juiced including

the peels – rind – cores !

You get ALL THE NUTRIENTS !

THE CAPSULES INCLUDING THE ORANGE OMEGA’S and a smoothie

For me to be convinced

I had to SEE and READ –

NO PESTICIDES

That is just who I am.

NOW THERE ARE 36 RESEARCHES COMPLETED –

By MAJOR UNIVERSITIES & MEDICAL CENTERS & HOSPITALS

all over the WORLD !

JUICE PLUS

BRIDGE’S THE GAP BETWEEN RECOMMENDED & ACTUAL INTAKE

DOING SOMETHING –

not just thinking about it !

I have no regrets –

I will take this as long as I live.

A year ago – I started taking another product from Juice Plus –

Called OMEGA BLEND –

made not from Fish oil –

But from Algae –

which is where the fish get it from –

Thus – no worries from MERCURY !

The company also have their own Algae Farms !

When you reach your AUTUMN YEARS –

you try as hard as can to sustain a lifestyle that you have led.

You watch stairs –

you climb back up off the floor

Or gingerly kneel down on one knee –

You know when to play a game of kick ball or just pitch !

You count MICRO SECONDS

to reach the bathroom !

BUT YOU MAKE CHANGES AHEAD OF TIME –

If you want to LIVE –

If you want to MAINTAIN that lifestyle –

Then you owe it to yourself to prepare –

to research –

To read and see what this is !

Are YOU worth $3.43 a day

for FRUITS- VEGGIES – BERRIES & OMEGA’S ?

IS YOUR HEALTH a matter of dollars and cents ?

This is my story –

my reason –

my wanting to maintain –

Enjoy life – watch my grand kids grow up –

Have a life partner who is my best friend.

Best thing I ever did was start 13 years ago –

Worse thing of my life –

” NO ONE SHOWED ME 25 YEARS AGO ” !

Thank you for reading

I hope this HELPS someone out there

We have been changing lives for 12 years now

And children –

well – we help them for FREE
