Longevity Health
Healthy food has given me a life of wellbeing without ever needing a medical doctor. The older I get, the more I appreciate the lasting wellness and energy that come with sound food habits. Unlike most people I meet, I have no need for caffeine to wake up in the morning nor sweets for an energy boost to raise low blood sugar. Wherever I can, I glean new knowledge about food. I want to know more and more, since people often seek my nutritional advice. It gladdens me to get the positive feedback from all over the world.
“Food as the Fountain of Youth” is a lecture I gave to a large audience in Emigrant, Montana. For over two hours I talk on the subject of longevity revealing the foods that accelerate aging and foods that reverse it. I also discuss food and its key role in maintaining wellbeing. There are other influences on health to be sure, but aside from the air we breathe, food represents our most intimate contact with the environment and provides the basic sustenance of life. Every day we choose our food, whereas other health factors often lie beyond our immediate control. We need to know which foods help us stay healthy and which ones do not.
Food can be either a powerful healer or an awesome undoer of health, depending on whether we choose our daily nourishment wisely or eat according to old habits and whims. While most people do not eat for health, those who do so give themselves better life quality with both greater physical energy and mental clarity. With all the conflicting nutritional theories around, the key hurdle is to find out what healthy food means exactly. It can take a long time to find this out. Now I want to share with my readers the insight from my long-time experience. I hope that the “Food as the Fountain of Youth” helps you to understand better the important, but confusing subject of longevity health.
