"These include not smoking, getting 3.5hrs of exercise/week, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight."
As soon as I turned 60, my focus on longevity intensified. I want to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible. I know many of you want the same. You want to live a long, active, engaged, healthy life and die young as late as possible.
Advances in public health, surgery, and medicine are trying to extend our lifespan, but what about our healthspan? Your lifespan is how long you live. Your healthspan is how many years you live a healthy, vibrant life. You want your healthspan to equal your lifespan.
The new science of longevity, based on the principles of Functional Medicine, is the science of health and restorative and regenerative medicine. It is not just treating disease but also building resilience and vitality longterm. If you believe your genes are stacked against you, this is even more reason to double down on the science of creating health.
A large European study called EPIC found that incorporating four simple behaviors can dramatically reduce your risk of developing diseases of aging (Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer). These include not smoking, exercising three and a half hours a week, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight.
These four behaviors alone seemed to prevent 93 percent of diabetes cases, 81 percent of heart attacks, 50 percent of strokes, and 36 per cent of all cancer cases.
I’ve experienced these amazing advances firsthand—chronologically, I’m 63, but my biological, or “inner” age, is only 42.
THE FUTURE IS VEGAN; either we stop the killing, or the killing will stop us

Each glass of milk Increaes risk of dying. 😲
Just because they sell it does not mean you have to buy it! Switch to plant based milk!
👉🏼Dairy DOES NOT make strong bones or strong teeth, it’s actually doing the opposite!
👉🏼Calcium comes from plants! That’s where cows are getting it! You don’t need milk or cheese, the best way to absorb calcium is by eating them in plant form! 🌱🥦
👉🏼Dairy is and the TOP SOURCE of artery clogging saturated fat, it’s also promoting heart disease, cancer, allergies, asthma, ear infections, skin disorders, inflammation and dairy is being linked to Type 1 diabetes.
Cows don’t make milk for you they make it for their babies (that get taken away😥)
We are not supposed to drink milk made for a 300 pound baby cow folks!
If you care about your health or the health of your children start buying plant milks and give your children the nutrients they were intended to have👉🏼 from plants!🌱

Is Russell Brand ACTUALLY Pythagoras reincarnated? We're joking... Kind of. 🤨
Did you know?
Pythagoras is credited with being the Father of Vegetarianism.
Themes surrounding veganism, such as animal welfare 🐾, have roots that extend far back in history 🏛. Philosophical and religious beliefs often touched on aspects of not harming animals for food or other purposes.
However, the modern vegan movement, as we know it today, gained more prominence since the 1900s due to increased awareness about environmental sustainability 🌏, health benefits 👟, and animal rights 🪶.

I wanna do this... 🌬
Skydiving innovator Luigi Cani undertook a bold initiative in the Amazon rainforest, with the goal of combating deforestation. He planned to disperse 100 million seeds from 27 indigenous trees!
Navigating hurdles such as obtaining permissions, designing an eco-friendly seed container, and moving gear, Cani performed the dive flawlessly, releasing seeds from an altitude of 6,000ft.
The endeavor has an impressive 95% seed sprouting success, and the emerging trees are expected to reach heights of up to 50m. Inspired by this success, Cani is now gearing up for his next green mission - tackling oceanic plastic waste through skydiving.

The Vegan Museum (TVM) has a mission to preserve important artifacts of the deep, rich, and ongoing history of the vegetarian and vegan movements in the United States. TVM draws on this legacy to promote the values and benefits of veganism for human health, the environment, and the honoring of all life through exhibits, educational programs, and literature. TVM’s vision is of a flourishing world in which avoidable human and animal suffering are eliminated, with all life being in sustainable balance. Eating a whole-food vegan diet is one of the primary factors that will lead us toward this harmony.

From The Vital Blend's post:
It's true that genes run in families but you know what else does? Poor DIETS.
As a matter of fact, eating the same way your family did almost GUARANTEES the same chronic diseases that plagued them are waiting for you too. What we eat CHANGES us on a MOLECULAR, genetic level.
Knowing this, wouldn't our cells be affected differently if we consumed mostly fried or processed foods as opposed to mainly fruits or vegetables? POOR dietary choices can lead to INFLAMMATION which is often at the ROOT of many chronic illnesses including obesity, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.
While modern medicine can treat the SYMPTOMS of these diseases, it's plants that address the CAUSE.
discern the difference
between making a living
and making a killing
life sustains life
don't get it twisted
a decent living is made up of bountiful harvests and backyard bonfires,
of secret recipes passed down from your grandmothers;
of earthy dreams that shake you and wake you in a sweat,
and of long nights singing lullabies to get the baby to bed
it's made up of heavy tears
that fall all the way down
to the bottom of a feeling,
and of the arms that hold you
when you can no longer hold yourself.
a living is the barbed blackberry bramble
you keep cutting back,
who returns to you
over and over;
bearing fruit and whispering: "sister....persist."
and the tragic flaw
of the human species
is those that would kill
to make a killing
and still wonder why,
with their pockets so full,
their hearts feel so empty.
thing is--
you can ask any river or tree;
ask wolf or salmon--
they'll tell you:
true wealth is not measured in
gold,
or possession of land,
or power over others
but in a community that needs you,
that you need in return
so when I tell you
I want to make a decent living,
you can assume that I mean
living decently
and reweaving a world that includes
joyful men,
inviolable women
the sanctity of childhood
full bellies all around
clear rivers running free
relationships rooted in reciprocity
and that vision
isn't an easy one to carry
all the way to its fruition.
it's quite possibly impossible,
if you believe in the myths of patriarchy;
but as natural born heretic
i don't
still
until the desire
to make a living
quells the desire
to make a killing
none of us
will ever
know true wealth

Cooking together reduces the risk of obesity and eating disorders and makes kids happier.
Instilling healthy lifelong behaviors is best done by example. Take your kids food shopping and make cooking a fun activity. We used a cookbook called Pretend Soup with sixtyfive kid friendly recipes made from whole foods.
Eating wholesome meals is more than modeling sound nutrition; it’s about family unity, connectedness, ritual, identity, and meaning.
Children, even more than adults, enjoy and require routine. Shopping, cooking, and family meals can be essential to that routine.
Involve your kids in meal planning, grocery shopping, preparing, cooking (when old enough), serving, and cleaning up. Put on good music and make meal prep and mealtimes pleasant, relaxed, and fun—a time to come together as a family. Engage your children in conversation, and stay positive.
What’s something you do to get your kids interested in cooking?
