A close doctor friend of mine recently made this statement: “I want to live until I die!â€
Most would agree with that, but that is NOT what we see around us. Most people though physically alive, live out the last decades of their life in a pathetic state, kept alive by medication.
The percentage of people above 50 years of age who have developed one lifestyle disease or another is staggering. And people think its normal. Its NOT normal. Its common but not normal.
“Normal†is having high energy levels and health that keeps increasing with every passing year.
What is the benefit of eating a serving of organic black rice or unpolished rice, instead of refined processed white rice? Really NO benefit at all… if you do it once in a while….
but if on most days… for the next month… year… 10 years… what is the cumulative compound effect of everyday loading your body with high fiber, quality protein, high vitamin and fiber, by simply changing the rice that is on the table? The cumulative impact on health is MASSIVE….
What is the benefit of eating 3-4 servings of RAW fruit and vegetables on a daily basis? Not much – if you do it once in a while, but if it becomes a habit the cumulative effect is staggering.
What is the benefit of taking quality vitamin supplements from organic plant source on a daily basis? Some people do it for one month and stop. But if you do it every day over a long period of time – the compound effect can be great.
What is the benefit of exercising – or even taking a brisk morning walk 3-4 times per week? Not much if done for a month, but if it becomes an every day habit – 10 years later we look back on potentially enormous compounded health benefits…
Dr Ray strand in his excellent book “what your doctor doesn’t teach you about nutritional medicine might be killing you†states that true preventive medicine involves encouraging people to take a 3-fold approach to health: “eating healthy, exercising consistently and consuming high quality nutritional supplementsâ€
Here is the point: good health, high energy levels, weight management, is not an accident… it’s a daily deliberate decision.
Its about small daily habits that are actually very easy to do but also very easy not to do. Most people actually overestimate how simple it is to get started on the right path….
