Health Topics - Healthy Living

These pages aren’t just about information—they’re about transformation.

They exist to awaken you to the life-changing power of true health mastery.

Because your health isn’t just a topic of discussion—it’s the foundation of everything you do, feel, and become.

When it comes to your health, there is no middle ground.

You have a choice, and that choice matters more than you think:

  • Will you take control—nourishing, strengthening, and optimizing your body—so you can stay youthful, vibrant, and truly alive for decades beyond the average lifespan?
  • Or will you follow the path most people take—drifting toward an existence where the final 10–20 years are filled with decline, exhaustion, and disease?

Your Body Is More Than a Machine — It’s the Source of Your Power

Imagine owning a high‑performance machine. It runs beautifully — until “just a little” neglected maintenance turns into a ruined day. A missed oil change becomes an overheated engine. A small delay becomes a full stop on the side of the road. Not because the machine was poorly built… but because the system that creates power was ignored.

Now imagine that machine is your body.

Your body is the delivery system for everything you want to do — your ideas, your creativity, your strength, your purpose. It’s not just a vessel. It’s your power supply. And when basic maintenance slips, life doesn’t just feel “a little harder” — it quietly becomes smaller: less energy, less patience, less momentum, less you.

  • You don’t need perfection.
  • You need basic maintenance — done consistently.

Start giving your body what it has been asking for: real food, real rest, real movement, and regular renewal. These aren’t “health trends.” They’re the operating requirements of a human engine.

Delay Feels Harmless… Until It Isn’t

Neglect rarely announces itself as sabotage. It feels like “no big deal” — because the cost is invisible at first. But over time, it compounds. And one day you realize you’ve been living at a fraction of your capacity.

Your health fuels your contribution, your relationships, your legacy. With health, meaning is easier. Without it, even the simplest plans demand more effort than they should.

Don’t Wait for the Check‑Engine Light

Most people wouldn’t ignore a flashing dashboard light. But with our bodies — when signals show up as poor sleep, low energy, brain fog, or digestion that feels “off” — we tell ourselves, “I’ll deal with it later.” Later is the most expensive time to start.

Health isn’t about guilt. It’s about keeping the engine tuned, the systems supported, and the whole vehicle road‑ready — so you can live the life you intend to live.

“For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: ‘It might have been.’”
– John Greenleaf Whittier

No one plans to ruin a journey — they just forget the engine needs care. Your body works the same way.


looking scared after health breakdown

After a health breakdown — or a major life scare — it's natural to reach for help: a doctor, a hospital, a quick solution. It’s also natural to wonder, "Why is this happening to me?"

But instead of blame or shame, there’s a more helpful question we can ask:

“What is this trying to teach me?
And what can I choose differently going forward?”

 
 
habits are powerful

Every Good Habit Is a Rung on the Ladder of Vitality

You don’t leap to strength, clarity, or freedom. You climb to it — one habit at a time. Each habit is a rung on your personal ladder — lifting you closer to the health, glow, and energy you were designed for.

Every step matters. Every step adds up. Start where you are — and keep climbing.

Three Habits That Quietly Destroy Health

  1. Outsourcing your health decisions to others — It’s easy to trust systems that promise quick fixes, but many industries benefit more from keeping you sick than helping you heal. Long-term wellness requires becoming the CEO of your own health—learning, questioning, and making informed choices that support your vitality.
  2. Assuming “it won’t happen to me” — Many people avoid thinking about disease or decline, believing they’re somehow the exception. But the truth is, if you don’t intentionally care for your body, you will very likely experience what others have: fatigue, pain, loss of memory, or mobility. Choosing to learn and adapt now is an act of wisdom and strength.
  3. Living without a daily health rhythm — Your routines shape your future. Without a plan, the days slip by... and so does your health. The good news? It doesn’t take perfection — just consistency. Begin with the 8 Habits of Health and let them anchor your lifestyle to something powerful and life-giving.

A Simple Reality We Often Forget

The human body isn’t fragile — but it is responsive. Like any finely engineered system, it reflects how it’s treated over time. Small choices compound quietly, then reveal themselves later.

  • The heart event at 50 rarely appears overnight. It often traces back to patterns set decades earlier.
  • Cognitive decline noticed at 70 may have begun as subtle biological stressors accumulating in midlife.
  • Loss of strength, mobility, or independence at 80 is frequently the result of long-standing neglect — not bad luck.

None of this is meant to alarm — it’s meant to empower. The same principle works in reverse.

The quality of health you experience later in life is shaped, day by day, by the care you give your body now.

Healthy Living is all about giving the knowledge that saves people from poor health.

The wisest people among us have learned from the experience of others and project into the future the calculated probabilities that the experiences of others will become their own if they go down a similar path. Theen they they take action to counter those probabilities.

That means each one of us needs to asses our own unique health risks and strategize so as to not become a statistic!

In general, we can divide people into six groups, each of which has somewhat different health risks from the other groups. So, let’s consider the differing risks of the following types of people.

Children

Children - are at high risk in our modern world for two specific reasons that are totally under the control of their parents.

It is up to their parents to guide them and to learn the countermeasures to these risks and how to ensure that children have as great a future life as possible.

Learn how to do this in our children’s guide to nutrition.

Women

Women - have specific needs because of the immune confusion and stress inherit in menstrual cycles, giving birth and caring for children take on their bodies. 79% of all autoimmune diseases occur in women. Both men who care about their women and women themselves need to understand and reduce these risks for women. Read more about women’s nutrition in our special women’s section.

Men

Men - have a much higher propensity for vascular disease than do women (up through women’s menopause, after which the risks start to equalize). If you are a man or a woman who cares about a man, you need to know what to do to reduce this risk of cardiovascular disease. Read more about men’s need for cardio-protective nutrition in our men’s nutrition section.

Overweight

Overweight people - face a triple whammy of health risks leading to aging and degenerative disease.

Being overweight is the single greatest risk for health problems.

We explain the way out of this trap in our section on overcoming the overweight condition.

Athletes

Athletes - have unusual nutrition requirements which, when not met, spell very real danger.

If you are an athlete or care about an athlete, please read our section on athlete’s nutrition.

Seniors

Seniors - are at the age when inadequate nutrition related stress and disease are taking their heaviest toll. They have less time before critical consequences are faced. Please take time to understand the needs of seniors as it relates to nutrition.

The answer that we like best is:

" I want to die young, but as late in life as possible"

- Dr. William R. Kellas


Medical science has done an absolutely magnificent job of curtailing deaths from infections and traumas, which used to be the leading causes of death.

As a result of their brilliant advances in controlling deaths from infection and trauma, past realities where one out of every two people died from infection or trauma are done away.

Instead, people now get to reap the consequence of how well they nourish and protect their bodies.

"The Curse Causeless Shall Not Come !"

(that quote from the wisest man on earth, King Solomon) — means that if one has a chronic health problem...

then there is a cause, an

  • injury,
  • toxicity,
  • inherited gene defect,
  • or lack of needed nutrition

that is interfering with the body’s natural ability to self-heal and function optimally.

(But Often Too Late—Or Not at All)


Don't procrastinate good practices

The most common story among Americans is a simple one: procrastinating good practices. People delay what truly matters—like saving from each paycheck, maintaining their belongings, or nurturing lasting friendships—until it’s too late.

When it comes to health, waiting is even riskier.
