I’m Not Sure Any Of This Is Worth It

Here are some facts, reliable ones, research-based
ones, that relate directly to the health-related benefits
of living a Leanness Lifestyle or the consequences
of not — it all depends.

40% of all cancers are caused by the typical American
diet, lack of physical activity, and obesity, and cancer
is MOSTLY a preventable disease.

Eating 5 servings of fruits and veggies each day can
DRAMATICALLY reduce the chance of getting several cancers.

Chronic diseases don’t just happen–they are almost
entirely the result of decades of unhealthy living.

Over 700,000 people die of heart disease each year.
According to research, 82% of these deaths–560,000–are
caused by lack of exercise, poor diet, and tobacco
use.

Some people claim that it’s just not worth eating healthy
and exercising since the extra time and effort is simply
matched 1 to 1 in life extension. What this means is
people believe that if they exercise a total of one
year’s worth of clock time over 20 years or whatever
they are only going to get about 1 year of extra life
anyway–this isn’t true.

In the book “Culprit and the Cure” Dr. Aldana cites
the following things and what they can do to longevity:

Are vegetarian — 1.5 years 
Exercise regularly — 2.4 years 
Eat nuts 5X/week — 2.5 years 
Have normal blood pressure — 3.7 years 
Are not diabetic — 6.6 years
Maintain NORMAL weight — 11 years 

And, of course, when you combine two or more of the
choices above you may be able to combine the extended
years too.

Living a Leanness Lifestyle is not dieting. Dieting
doesn’t convey the benefits above. Dieting is short
term. You deserve better than a short-term “fix” to
a long-term problem (overweight/obesity). 
Be sure and stay tuned for the next issue of Club Lifestyle
tips. In it I’ll discuss what a polymorphism is and
why you should care.

Sincerely yours in health,
