I have lived more years then I care to think about but thankfully they have all been healthy years. Now this didn’t happen because I have ‘good genes’ (I don’t) or because I got lucky and beat the odds (no such luck), no this happened because I wanted to be healthy so I worked toward that end.
Now you might ask; who doesn’t want to be healthy? Well my friend all you need to do is sit at the mall for 30 minutes on any given Saturday and observe the people walking by and you’ll get your answer. Evidently very few! Obesity is rampant with all it’s related diseases, hospital emergency visits are skyrocketing and disease ridden people flock to the pharmacy in record numbers to stock up on drugs that do nothing to improve their health.
We as a willing society have been duped into health complacency. What I mean by that is individually and collectively we have a herd mentality believing the TV adds and nightly news and the hoards of so called experts telling us what is and isn’t good for our health. We have relinquished our good common sense and the God given healing attributes of the human body. Instead we dutifully get our shots, vaccinations, prescription drugs and bad advice simply because we are told to. Few of us take the time and effort to educate ourselves concerning health issues.
Our health is the singly most important issue facing every human being and yet we act as if it is vogue to be fat and out of shape. We wear our health ineptness with a badge of honor. Paradoxically everyone will tell you if asked ’I want to be healthy’. So with that assumption in place let me explain a common sense approach to maintaining a healthy life for all your life.
First and foremost you must start thinking for yourself. Question the authorities that put demands on you, not irreverently but with inquisitiveness. Get the answers you need to make your own health decisions.
Decisions must always be made on the basis of your health not what anyone else is doing.
Unless your very serious about being healthy for the rest of your life and willing to do what it takes to succeed you most assuredly won’t. Being completely healthy requires living a lifestyle that is conducive to good health. This isn’t some infomercial to living healthy in 4 easy steps for only $29.99+ shipping and handling. This will have to be a lifetime commitment devoted to staying healthy.
When I say healthy I mean free of disease and debilitating conditions not the common cold (although you won’t get many) or the occasional bug that is going around. Although I must say if your immune system is where it should be even the common flu will have a really hard time infecting you. When you do get sick it will be for a very short time with NO after affects.
It has been nearly 40 years since I visited a doctor and that was for a sore throat. (bad idea)
I have had the flu a few times and a occasional headache but beyond that nothing. My wife is the same way with no health issues. Decidedly I started living my healthy lifestyle as a young adult and never swayed from the path. I firmly believe anyone at any age can benefit from a positive lifestyle change.
The objective is clear and concise; Live Long and Live Healthy.
Some of the things I will list here your going to hate and will immediately stop reading, well at least I got you thinking for yourself. For the rest of you please bear in mind I’m no doctor or medical expert just a person who has lived a relative long life and who has walked the walk and talked the talk. Some things are seemingly simplistic, they aren’t.
1.Personal fortitude with a savage attitude that I am worth the effort to succeed.
2.Never ever succumb to age, treat your body the same at 50 as you would at 30 and it will respond if properly conditioned. (side note): I climb trees, do running sprints, jump off high places all the stuff I did as kid, I never stopped so the body responds.
3.Demand the best for your body don’t settle for anything less. Don’t put anything in or on your body that you wouldn’t want your children to do.
4. The food police will tell you what or what not to eat but I will tell you this, if you eat any food in moderation with abundant variety you will be the better for it. Specifically I eat my share of meat, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and plenty of dessert. Everything is in moderation with all the meat not fried but cooked another way and all vegetables and fruits free of pesticides and chemicals. Eat moderate portions at each meal disciplining yourself not to overeat. Remember we eat to sustain our bodies ability to function properly and for most of us we don’t need much food. I think eating has been made into some grand event where we must eat as much as we can at every sitting. Enjoy your meal but remember you eat because it is a necessity .
5. Drink clean water with absolutely no chemical additives and drink a lot of water.
6.Avoid eating a lot of sugar and use salt in moderation.
7.Packaged food contains preservatives and dyes which are un-natural to the human body
8.Wash (scrub) fruits and vegetables before eating unless they are organic they will be loaded with chemicals.
9. Frying food is a no no because of cancer causing carcinogens.
10. The overall principal I live with concerning what I put in my body is quite simple,
If it has a man made substance in it such as preservatives o r dyes or any of those long scientific names that are impossible to pronounce then I’m pretty sure I don’t want to eat it.
11.Exercise is good but don’t over do it moderation applies here. I have found cross country walking is a lot of fun and a great exercise for the whole body. Also walking my two golden retriever pups keeps me bouncing up and down. The key here is to stay active EVERYDAY remember this is a life style.
If your able to do outdoor physical work like lawn mowing that is a real plus, enjoy the great outdoors and reap the healthful benefits at the same time.
12. Love life and laugh much and often. Surround yourself with loving family and friends.
13. Stress is a killer so it is vitally important to avoid stressful situations. I firmly believe stress is the number one health concern in our society. Stress places a tremendous burden on our immune system to protect us from disease and with a weakened immune system the door is left wide open for all sorts of health problems.
14. Lastly or perhaps firstly, stand firm in your personal faith.
Now what I have said is all relevant to staying healthy all your life however it would be a hollow existence if I weren’t married to my soul mate and totally committed to our marriage. When you can share your life with the person you love life’s burdens melt away and happiness is easy to find.
I urge you to sign up for a health plan that involves no government help or insurance company premium indeed this health plan involves only you and your commitment to a healthy life style. Why not sign up today!

There is no set "age" at which people become old. Old age is a state of mind. We all know people who die of old age in their early 70's (my dad for one) and people that live into their 90's full of piss and vinegar. Pardon the expression. I work with a man, 78 years old,...he still snow skis, water skis, rock climb, ocean fishes, rides a motorcycle, and can tear up the dance floor like anyone! My dad, at 72, could barely walk, and sat in his chair all day waiting to die. Sad. Old mentally is worse than old calendar-wise.
With respect to when is medical treatment necessary, the same rule applies. There is no age. Some people like to fight death with every once of their breath, kicking and screaming to their last breath. These are the people that want to be kept alive as long as science can keep their heart beating.
Others, accept that death is a part of life. They would rather die on their terms. They would rather enjoy the last six months of their life, rather than fight the last twelve. These are people, when told they have terminal cancer, they have six months without chemo, or twelve months with chemo....they choose the good six months, rather than twelve bad months.
There is a GREAT movie on this exact topic. Critical Care. It stars James Spader and Kyra Sedgwick. Also Helen Mirren, a cleverly disguised Albert Brooks, and Anne Bancroft. It deals with when do we keep people alive and when do we let them go. It is from 1997. Watch the movie and you will have a better appreciation for life and the process of dying with grace and dignity.
Peace out.
great video marj
wow. Looks like you had allot of thought to this. My thoughts to this. People have been drinking milk for positively centuries and millenia. If you like it, drink it. If you don't, don't.
This is a give and take situations I feel. I took it for some time but I have a bad reaction to a many of those pain killers, seizures being the worst so far. I am epileptic I am not saying your hubby will have these!!
To have somewhat of a pain free life sometimes we give up something else. Also if you have read something scary do your own research, talk to the doctor yourself!
I had found another drug that works for me better then any pain narcotic I tried thus far.
Your husband has to get some relief somehow. Make sure he keeps his doctor appointments. Pain management here in Oregon is now at the state capital level. Maybe in your state they have a pain management commission where you can get some real information to what is out there..
For being such a drug happy society peeps like to spread rumors and propaganda about certain drugs (as they pop there anxiety drug or weight loss pill).
Good luck!
I don't think people necessarily live longer, they just live healthier lives. I am like you, I have no interest in living to be that old and I too have that same concern. The reason I feel this way is because one day in the gym this guy was jogging on the treadmill like he did every other day for years(very health person) and had a heart attack and died on the spot. He was in his 50's and it was a great shock to everyone.
I like this question~~we as Americans agonize over war in Iraq and
Afghanistan but the auto accidents kill more Americans in one year
then Viet Nam did during the entire war
Also the people maimed in Auto accidents is in thee 100,000's
Drug addictions kill many too
and God Forbid the Obesity is taking a toll and is the cause for
most of the diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
But the flip side of this is I wonder if there is a method to the madness
as this is a problem that Americans just seem to pooh pooh and
maybe this is why we are 37 th in health statistics world wide
Americans are their own worst enemy and Barack Obama knows this
and is pandering his socialistic agenda~~Today it is no smoking
Tomorrow will be anti obesity? but there will always be a cause for
the government to play Big Brother~~it is all about Power and control
If I were you, I would cut down most of the first half of your essay. Then you can expand more on the really important parts. Right now you have:
1. People have become lazy because of technology.
This part takes up nearly 1/2 of your essay, but it doesn't add much. You never really, truly explain how technology has made people lazy and isolated or why that's a major issue to you in any concrete way. Instead, you make sort of clichéd statements about seizing the moment, and it gets kind of repetitive. Either cut most of it out or shave off the clichés and make it real. Either way, it needs to be shorter to make room for the other, more important parts of your essay.
2. How your friend inspired you.
This is better because it's personal. You could add a bit more here... maybe an example of something your friend did that was inspirational. And make sure it fits into the question.
3. Your trip to Italy.
Great--you show that you're curious about the world and that you've worked hard to go out and see some of it. You could add more about what that trip taught you. Be specific. Tell a story.
4. Your volunteer work
OK, good to mention, but it seems kind of thrown in. Yes, you want to give back to the community, but what does this have to do with your trip to Italy, and what to do with the overall theme of living life to the fullest? Fill this out with specifics (for example, why the assisted living home? What did you learn there? Any inspirational stories?) and connect it to the heart of your essay.
5. Your goals
Again, important. But again, they should tie into the rest of what you've been talking about. What does being an engineer have to do with learning about the world and giving back to the community? What does it have to do with technology? Obviously it has a lot to do with all of the above, but you don't make the link. Make it all come together and answer the question. You can do it.
Good luck!
