Having gotten back from the USA I am doing some housekeeping on my laptop files before copying them over to my desktop. I came across this that I wrote a few years ago. Don’t know if I have shared it with you or not but since it has been 4 years since I wrote it, could bear repeating.
I had some very tough news this week. A friend had to have a large part of his bowel removed due to cancerous growths. He was a smoker his whole adult life but his lungs didn’t cop it, his gut did.
Looking at the roaring trade that the fast food chains do and the amount of stock on the shelves at the supermarket that I would not touch with a 40 foot barge pole, it really brought home to me how little planning time most of us spend on the important things. I recall seeing a meme once to the effect that most people spend more time planning their annual holiday than they do planning their life.
Along this line there’s a wee bit of advice I give to youngsters at the festivals I go to. I figure it is the best assignment they could ever get. It is to talk to their aunts and uncles and older folk in their family. Ask them the degenerative diseases from which they suffer. Then work out what dietary and lifestyle changes they need to make to avoid those diseases.
If this seems like a lot of work and you’d like to shortcut it, just head over to www.howtolivethehealthiestlife.com, part with a mere $47 and get the most important data I have accumulated over the last 14 years of reading on health. Then you’ll have the best advice I take myself! The next step is to start doing something about it. Implement something from it each week. Your future self will thank you for it!
