Prevention Is the Best Medicine for Longevity

As you might have heard that Jack LaLanne died at the old age of 97. He lived a long healthy life. He proved that with the right fuel (Nutrition), your body would function the way it is designed to do.

His healthy life was not by chance, or that he had the right genes, no, it was because he did the right things to his body. He exercised at least four times a week and he ate the right foods.

I dont know the reason for his death, but I would assume his heart muscle lived out its useful life. Everything breaks down eventually. Mr. LaLanne lived a healthy life that I am sure everyone would want. That is to eventually die of old age, not of old disease.

Mr. LaLanne lived in a time where fast foods did not exist. Where everyone in the family sat down at the dinner together to enjoy a nice home cooked meal. A meal made with fresh vegetables and food free from pesticides and chemicals. Not like the foods today that does contains pesticides and chemicals. Fast foods were not part of his diet.

For the last thirty years or so, we have gotten away from having a nice healthy home cooked meal and instead have gone with the fast food meals. We want everything in an instant in todays society. We take a pill to get rid of a headache even though it comes back practically everyday. We want to feel better in an instant and ignore why we are having the headaches.

The pills that we take for instant relief really good for our bodies, or is it doing more harm than good?

We must STOP and take a long hard look at what we are doing to our bodies. Why not look at what is causing the headaches and look for some solutions. Are the headaches because of taking in too much caffeine after drinking five cups of regular coffee a day?

Instead of taking medications that are not good for our body, let us find out the cause of the problem and eliminate the cause. If we dont know the cause, simply changing your diet and adding food supplementation will be a good start in fixing the problem naturally.

Prevention works almost 100% of the time. If we change our diet and add food supplementation, we will be taking a pro-active role in changing our health for the better. We will be a step closer to living a long healthy life-like Jack LaLanne had.
