What If Money Can Buy ...

[Stanley Doble]

If you want health and longevity there are many things you can do right now. Like don't eat too much, 25% less than what is considered healthy, eat the right things, mostly fresh fruit and veg, sunshine, fresh air, exercise. Do these things and retain your physical and mental health into your eighties, nineties or longer.

Now if you do this and stay healthy for 30 or 40 years there is a very high chance new advances will give you ANOTHER 40 years of health and vigor, and by that time they will have figured out how to buy another 20 or 30. In other words take care of yourself and you could end up with 100 to 150 years of healthy life.

I'm sorry, but this is a vast over generalization. If you are otherwise healthy, with no chronic conditions, sure, it could work. But for a lot of people who have a very healthy diet, get lots of exercise, and use their heads; they are still going to die relatively young due to non-preventable disease.

OK you tell us how to live a long, healthy life in 100 words or less.

The above was not meant to be a medical book. It was meant to remind everyone that there are things we can do RIGHT NOW to improve health and longevity. You don't need to be rich, or wait for some magic elixer, the secret is in your hands.

I have talked this over with doctors and other health professionals. I said "If everybody did just what we already know to do, like lay off booze drugs and cigarettes, don't eat too much, get some fresh air sunshine and exercise every day, take a bath once in a while and stop worrying, you doctors would lose half your business".

None disagreed. One said "it would be more like 90%". Another said " we would have nothing to do but obstetrics". A nurse said "if everyone did that we would be out of a job" etc etc.

So why don't we do it? Do we want to get sick and die? Are we all nuts? I can't speak for everyone but I know I am. In spite of years of trying I still eat too much and do too little of the things I should do. But that doesn't mean I am not aware that better health is possible.
