Living to Be 100 - Just as Your Creator Planned

This may seem shocking to you, but much of aging is in your mind.

When you make poor lifestyle decisions, such as smoking, drinking too much, eating the wrong foods or allowing yourself to sink into a negative, stress-filled mindset, what you’re doing is simply reinforcing the idea that aging is inevitable.

You believe that you’ll grow older, you’ll feel sluggish, slow down and your body will begin to break down.

It’s nothing more than the Law of Expectations.

You’re feeling less vital than you used to.

And you’re aging exactly as you expect to.

Why?

Because everyone else is doing it, right?

Not me.

You know from my results last week that I have the same metabolism as a typical, healthy 14 year old.

What you don’t know is that I was born in the 1950’s. I’m going to be 50 years old in August.

But I don’t feel like I’m about to be 50.

Actually, I feel better now than I did in my 20’s.

The Dr. Bragg Plan

And the reason for that is because I’m on the Dr. Bragg plan.

Paul Bragg was a fitness pioneer who opened the first health food store in America.

His company still sells Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and Bragg’s Amino Acids, which I swear by.

When Dr. Bragg was in his mid-90’s, he lived in Hawaii and he liked to surf every day.

He was obviously the picture of health at the time.

Unfortunately, one day Dr. Bragg met his demise in the ocean surf.

An autopsy was performed to determine the cause of death.

The stunned coroner claimed he’d been killed as the result of a surfing accident.

And he noted that Dr. Bragg had the internal organs of a 20-year-old man.

That’s my plan too.

Our creator built us to live to be 100 years old and more. And you have complete control over your body, mind and health.

Use it wisely.

To see where you’re headed, use the Longevity Calculator on the right column of this blog.

It’ll tell you approximately how long you have to live (if you don’t improve your habits and simply continue with your current lifestyle.)

It’ll only take about 5 minutes and the results can be quite revealing.

According to the Longevity Calculator, I’m going to live to be 95.

But I’m going to tweak a couple things in my lifestyle and see if I can make it to 100.

I’m halfway there.

And I feel like I’m on the right path.

How about you?

The Secret to Great Health

"The secret to great health can be described in three words:

Cleanse Your Body!

Engrave these 3 words permanently in your memory
."
– Dr. Paul Bragg

I consider cleansing/detoxification (variations of the same thing) to be a crucial part of attaining levels of ultimate health and wellness. Not just physically, but in every area of your life.

I’m currently on a 9-day cleanse.

I’ll discuss it more specifically after the 9 days but here were my vital stats on the morning of day 1, just to compare the results next week:

Weight: 178 lbs.

Body Fat: 11.1%

Body Water: 57.5%

Muscle: 150.8 lbs.

Bone Mass: 7.8 lbs.

Metabolic Rate: 4005 Calories/day

Metabolic Age: 18

(If you’re wondering, I have a Tanita Body Composition Monitor which uses bio impedence analysis to gauge these statistics.)

I’ll talk more about specific HEALTHY ingredients which accelerate cleansing and fat burning results, but now I’d like to take a step back and start at square one.

This is crucial.

It’s basic. And because it is, many people don’t give it the attention it deserves.

Our society is chronically dehydrated. Estimates say that well over 90% of us are dehydrated.

Most, if not all “diseases” (which are all merely symptoms of one problem, but we’ll get to that another time)… most “diseases” are exacerbated, if not caused by dehydration.

So guess what the most important thing you can do to improve your health is?



Yes. Drink more healthy water!

Drink water with lemon squeezed in it. It’s very alkaline.

Drink distilled water. Drink ionized water. Drink water with pH drops in it.

Drinking water supports cleansing by helping to clean your liver and kidneys and eliminate toxic waste from your body.

Drinking water supports weight loss by increasing your metabolic rate and burning more calories in your body.

Drinking water prevents disease and promotes vitality by keeping your pipes clean and fluids moving through your systems.

Think of it like this:

The rainforest is green, because it rains and gets lots of water.



The desert is brown, because it's parched from lack of water.

Would you like your body to be clean and glisten with the growth, vitality and freshness of the rainforest?

Or would you rather be parched, your body cracked and lifeless, a barren wasteland?

Seems obvious.

And the solution is simple.

So if you do nothing else to improve your health, do this.

It’s the most important thing of all.

And a terrific place to begin your journey toward ultimate health, wellness and vitality.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao-Tzu

Drink up.
