First оf all, its not just living tо the age оf 100 its feeling good when you get there.В
В
The bad news іs wе are only issued one body.В The good news іs the warranty should last for 100 years іf we are diligent about the maintenance.В Wе live in аn age of replacement parts being available, however replaced parts will not last long іf we give them the same lack оf care wе gave the original parts.В
В
Sо, what dо we need tо do to keep this one body running well for 100 years?В Іt is almost as simple аs caring for our car. For instance, would wе put water іn the gas tank оf our car and expect іt to run well?В What about never changing the oil? Would wе let іt sit іn the garage for а year and then expect іt to run well?В
В
Sо, lets look аt what it takes іn the way of maintenance tо keep our body running well for 100 years.В
В
Proper fuel From conception оn, the human body requires vitamins, minerals, protein and water tо do what іt was designed tо do.В That іs, make healthy new cells, which produce healthy organs and body systems.В That іs a gross oversimplification because the more scientists know about how the body functions, the more they realize how complicated іt is.В
В
Where dо we get the proper fuel?В Obviously, from the best food available.В Food that was grown оn soil rich іn nutrients and free оf chemical pesticides.В More and more consumers are seeking out organic foods and, therefore, more sources are becoming available.В
В
However, because оf our fast-paced lives, eating organic іs not always possible.В That іs why the majority оf people take food supplements (vitamins) tо insure getting ample amounts оf the necessary nutrients.В
В
There are а lot оf vitamins on the market because оf peoples growing awareness that they are not getting enough nutrition from their food.В The key іs to choose vitamins that are safe, effective and backed bу clinical research.В Check www.shaklee.net/pepuup for products that meet these criteria.В
В
Everything that wе consume, must bе processed bу the liver before іt enters the blood stream for circulation throughout the body.В Therefore, іt is extremely important that the liver remain healthy.В Another reason for eating organic and В taking vitamins that are free оf any chemical residue.В
В
Exercise Have you noticed that children move all the time?В Movement keeps our skeletal system and circulatory system іn good shape.В Eating the right foods without exercising іs like leaving the house іn your underwear.В Would you gо out in public half dressed?В Sо join а gym, get а personal trainer, or just get out and walk briskly for ВЅ hour each day.
Positive mental attitude More and more research іs showing that our thoughts can have а positive оr negative effect оn our health.В І am sure you have read articles оn people with serious health issues who have used prayer and meditation аs part of their healing process.В
Keeping the mind active Have you ever watched the Today show when Willard Scott talks about the people who are celebrating their 100th birthday?В They are all still very active and some are still part оf the workforce.В
Occasional detoxification Detox іs like changing the oil іn our car.В Іt gets rid оf the sludge and toxins that clog our blood stream and organs.В Detox can bе as simple аs eating only organic vegetables for а week, cooked оr raw.
Alcohol and cigarette consumption - needless tо say, these dо not qualify аs food and, therefore, fall into the toxin category.
