This site is not JUST about living longer, it's about living
better... from the cradle to the grave. And that starts with
the understanding that vibrant, overflowing health is the "default"
state of the human body.
We're programmed to be healthy... not sick.
When we're in good health, cuts heal on their own, and broken bones
mend themselves... without us having to consciously think about
it. And in spite of the fact that we live an an ocean of lethal
viruses and bacteria, our immune system protects us 99.9% of the
time.
"Survive and thrive"... written into our genetic code.
We're designed to wake up alert and refreshed, to have plenty of
energy all day... every day. And to be active and productive right
up to 100!
That's right! According to cellular biologists, there's no physiological
reason why we shouldn't be going strong in our 90s... and even past
100..
But there's a HUGE gap between what SHOULD be, and what IS.
- 1 out of 2 Americans alive today WILL get cancer.
- Heart attacks kill 450,000 each year.
- And obesity and diabetes are now full-blown epidemics.
Simple cause and effect...
100 years ago we ate food grown in rich organic soils... and picked
ripe. Now, according to the USDA, you'd have to eat 26 peaches to
get the same nutritional value that you'd have gotten from 1 peach
grown in the 1940s. That's because our fruit and vegetables are
grown in depleted soils, sprayed with pesticides... and picked green.
Second, our grandparents mostly worked at jobs that were physically
demanding. Today, we sit at a desk all day and then go home to watch
TV.
The conclusion? Our poor diet and sedentary lifestyles have compromised
our bodies' natural ability to defend, regulate and repair itself.
But the bad news is also the GOOD news!
Cause and effect is a two-way street! Getting back to vibrant health
is as simple as correcting our diets and getting up off the couch.
A journey of discovery...
DecideToBeHealthy is the result of our personal quest to regain
our own health. It's involved a reading, listening to good tapes...
then CDs... and a lot of trial and error. But today, we have
more energy and feel better that we did when we started, ten years
ago. And we're excited about being active and productive many more
years!
We've not just increased our life span, but also our health
span! Not only can we live longer... we can live better.
And we invite you to join us in this amazing experience.
Sincerely,
Gary
& Cheryl White
