No One Has to Die

Live Long Live Well

I am writing this in August 2018 – next month I will be 86 years old. I spend almost 2 hours in the gym 5 days a week and once a week run 10 K in less than an hour. If you want to live long and well three factors are important – 1) mental attitude 2) exercise 3) diet

Mental attitude This topic could be exhaustive and there are many books written on it. In my mind one thing stands out – never carry the burden of unforgiveness. Holding a grudge destroys both the mind and the body. Throughout life we all get hurt, it is up to ourselves whether this is a bump in the road of life, or a lifelong handicap! If you systematically forgive everyone who has hurt you will find life happier and longer.
Exercise my doctor once told me, if it is not immoral and doesn’t hurt, do it. Excellent advice. Many people suffer back problems which keep them from many health improving activities, if you are one of these google Dr. Stuart McGill basic 3 exercises. These simple exercises do wonders for the back. Exercise is always good, let your body tell you how much is right for you. There countless exercise programs – a good one is free on the internet, google 5 bx exercises which takes you from a couch potato to a champion athlete.
Diet My motto, everything in moderation. A friend sent me the following and I have found it very useful. The more raw fruits and vegetables the better.
Here is the recipe for a powerful health tonic
