011 Not If, But When

Andrew Weil, M.D. writes, “ I think most bodies come with warranties for 80 years of productive, relatively trouble-free service, if basic requirements for preventative maintenance are followed…What I think happens around age 40, however, it’s not that the warranty runs out but that the bill comes due… I believe many disasters could be averted, because they are diseases of lifestyle, products of years of failing to eat wisely, exercise appropriately, or treat body and mind in ways that protect the healing system… The question is not if such a crisis will occur but when” (Eight Weeks To Optimum Health, 18-19.)

To promote a happier, healthier, longer life, I raise my voice for intentional living, and especially eating—an activity most Americans do three or more times a day.
