With nutritionally-depleted foods,
chemical additives and our tendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to
treat what's wrong with our malnourished bodies, it's no wonder that
modern society is getting sicker.
Food Matters sets about uncovering the
trillion dollar worldwide 'sickness industry' and gives people some
scientifically verifiable solutions for overcoming illness naturally.
I have to admit it... I have an intense fear of getting old. I suspect that I'm not alone in my fear and that most people feel the same way at one time or another in their own lives.
When I think about it though, it's not the getting older part that I'm afraid of - but rather the getting frail and decrepit part that I can do without.
This past August 26-30th my good friend and client Leslie Whitton has given me hope and inspiration that aging does not have to mean getting old.
As a member of the Canadian Women's National Dragon Boat Team, she recently competed in the World IDBF Championships in Prague, Czech Republic at 45 years of age!
Not only did she and her team mates compete, but they conquered the world's best competition to win four gold medals in the 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 meter races.
What makes this feat even more amazing, is that Leslie did not even start training seriously for racing until the age of 39!
"The sport of Dragonboating has changed my life. Not only do I love being on the water and working within a team environment... it's the training aspect that has shaped me into a better person. I am in better physical shape at the age of 45 than when I was 25... too bad it took me 20 years to figure it out!!"
Leslie is a shining example that with hard worked, good nutrition and dedication the human body is capable of amazing physical, mental and spiritual expression for a lot longer than previously expected.
She is part of a new generation of individuals who refuse to go quietly and rage against the dying of the light!
So if you feel that the best years of your life are behind you and that the sun is setting on your story, look to people like Leslie for inspiration and realize who you are and what wonderful adventures life still has in store for you.
Resveratrol is an amazing compound discovered in the skin of grapes, peanuts and the Japanese knotweed, that science is showing may just be the magic bullet that can extend life, increase athletic performance and ward off diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
Of course, seeing the potential of Resveratrol, pharmaceutical companies are jumping on the band wagon and spending hundreds of millions of dollars to isolate and tweak the molecules of Resveratrol so that they can claim a patent and charge exorbitant amounts of money for access to it.
Fortunately, most of the recent studies documenting the positive benefits of Resveratrol have used the concentrated natural form that is currently available in many health food stores.
