Add Years to Your Life
September 27, 2006
You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can't sit back and wait.
-Ellen Metcalf

You can add 20 years to your life by pursuing a more healthful lifestyle reports Steven Aldana in his publication, The Culprit & the Cure:  Why Lifestyle Is the Culprit Behind America’s Poor Health (www.culpritandcure.com).  Among the changes Aldana proposes are…

Lose Weight �" By bringing your weight into the normal range you can add 11 years to your life.  To achieve this, eat most meals at home, drink water instead of soda, don’t eat in front of the TV, and weigh yourself weekly.

Exercise �" Studies show that even mild exercise, such as walking 30 minutes a day, can increase your life span by two to five years.

Eat Nuts �" Studies show that eating one-quarter cup of nuts five times a week can add years to your life.  Eat a variety �" walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc. �" to get a greater number of protective chemical compounds.

Eat Fruits and Vegetables �" People who increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables from two to five servings a day can reduce by half the risk of many cancers.  Produce also greatly reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and Alzeimer’s disease.

Eat Fiber �" For every 10 grams of fiber you consume per day, your risk of heart attack goes down by 14% and risk of death from heart disease drops by 27%.
