Live Long Naturally

A Physicians’ Health Study which involved 22,000 people showed that people who took aspirin regularly, were not only at greater risk for hemorrhage strokes, they suffered twice as many brain hemorrhages than those who did not take aspirin.  Please know… this does not mean prescription drugs are any better.

Quite the contrary… anti-coagulating drugs like Plavix and Persantine have side effects like such as: leukemia, extreme fatigue and aplastic anemia. Aspirin though considered “safer” than pharmaceuticals is still responsible for side effects of it’s own… holes in stomach and/or bleeding of the GI tract… OUCH!

Why not avoid all the above problems and benefit from safer remedies? Ginkgo Biloba does exactly that! Some of the benefits include:

• Enhances memory
• Protects brain against effects of aging
• Helps prevent degenerative brain disorders
• Contains antioxidants
• Increases blood flow through many arteries
• Alzheimer’s patients have gotten impressive results
• Contains flavonoids to protect blood vessels
• Inhibits (PAF) platelet-activating factor
• Being used to treat memory, learning, and behavior problems

Consider talking to a physician knowledgeable (and smart enough) to help you wean yourself off aspirin and/or anti-coagulant drugs. You’ll not only feel better, you’ll have money to spare by purchasing ginkgo biloba instead. Best to buy organic or wild crafted in bulk form from a reputable source. No need to pay for fancy packing and labeling if you don’t need to!

Want to live long naturally? If so, start taking responsibility for your health, be disciplined to attain and maintain it. Aim to thrive, not merely survive, and by all means do NOT rely on a different color pill for every ill.

I once met a man whose job was to hook people up to dialysis… he stated the majority of his patients were on dialysis due to the overly prescribed antibiotics. Another young man I met was undergoing dialysis 3 times a week. His kidneys were ruined from the pain pills he was prescribed for his back. The stories go on… look at Michael Jackson or Heath Ledger. This does not include the many that succumb to chemotherapy and age at lightening speed. Patrick Swayze was the latest of celebrities. My mother aged a good 20 years after only 3 rounds of chemo.

If you are ill, experiencing disease… see it going not growing. Feed your body life in the form of a different color fruit of vegetable. Get your body moving on the outside and eliminating from the inside. Only then will it be better able to absorb any nutrition you may be giving it.Choose to prolong life not death.

If you don’t take care of yourself… how many holidays or birthday celebrations will you have left?

My real biological age is 45.7, however… according  to the Real Age Test, I am 46.3! Now that’s a good laugh and a tad disappointing for probably the average person. Little do they know, I feel better now at 45 than I did at 25.

These are their reasons I am supposedly older than I am:

• I don’t monitor my blood pressure

• I drive a compact fuel efficient SUV

• I don’t have enough personal time

• I don’t have a dog

• I don’t spend enough time with friends and family

• My eating habits aren’t great… now that’s a joke!

• I neglect my muscles and do only the bare minimum… oye vay – are they kidding!

• I need my cholesterol checked

• I drive 6 to 9 miles faster than I should… we almost have to in L.A.

• I need more Vit. D, E and C, folate, potassium, Omega 3’s, breakfast and grains.

• and finally…  I’m not flexible enough!

So… of these 11, I can honestly say TWO are correct…

I don’t have a dog and I don’t spend enough time with family and friends. Everyone is busy these days, but I agree… we can make more time for family and friends. According to the “Blue Zones” author Dan Buettner, friends and family are an integral part of living long naturally. Diet, detox, and exercise are as well!

DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOUR DOCTOR SAYS!

You bet!! There are many all-natural toothpastes that leave your breath fresher than any major name brand toothpaste – and, these healthy toothpastes aren’t toxic. My favorites are Jason’s brand and Dental Herb Company. However, when I run out of my current tube I am giving serious thought to making my own.

Of the many natural toothpastes and homemade toothpaste recipes, there will always be someone who can find something wrong with it – use your best judgment, just consider staying away from  the conventional ones (Colgate, Crest, etc). With any toothpaste, like most other things… there is no one-size-fits-all.

If you want to live long AND healthy, begin reading labels on e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Conventional toothpaste has a warning label for a reason – this warning is especially crucial for children.

Did you know bad breath is more than a dental issue? Stay tuned for more…
