Today we have a guest contributor to the TIPS FROM A MAN blog. The content for this post comes from my son who is serving as a full time volunteer missionary in the Amazon jungle region of Peru. He completes his two years of missionary service in early 2014. It is very interesting to see how people adapt to their particular circumstances as they search to find the proper nutrition to fuel their minds and bodies so they can perform at a high level.
Quinoa instant oatmeal. (Quinoa Inca oat - Super Awesome)
Dried
Quinoa cereal. (you always need fiber in a jungle diet because you need
to lose bacteria that might be in your system daily)
Regular instant oats
Jungle ¨manzana¨ bananas (potassium for the achy muscles)
Jungle honey bee honey for sweetness.
Whole grain toast with Philadelphia cream cheese (cream cheese in the jungle is kinda expensive)
Whole grain toast with jungle peanut peanut butter and jungle honey bee honey (you must buy locally or it's way too expensive)
Whole milk - Everyone usually uses powdered or evaporated cause its cheaper but you can imagine how that tastes.
Eat
this if you are on a mission budget and you are in a place that is more
than 90 degrees daily. You will have energy to do the Lord's work
with less complications.

So there you have it. Quinoa, bananas, natural sweeteners. These are items that we have posted about previously on the TIPS FROM A MAN blog, but now we learn that missionaries in Peru have discovered the same benefits. In the heat and humidity when you are pushing your body for 12 - 16 hours a day you must have proper fuel. Youth will only take you so far. Thanks for sharing the content for this post. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you serve the Lord and the people of Peru.
Enjoy life!
Cute!!!
