Live Strong and Long From The Inside Out

Longevity Diet and Lifestyle

"A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, it because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried" by Garson Kanin

Longevity Diet

After years of eating a raw food diet and reading many books about health, happiness and self improvement I have come to an understanding that in order to live a long and healthy life you must be extreme and place importance on yourself.

As a woman I have found that I place everyone and possibly everything else in my life ahead of myself. It is important if you want to have enough energy and health to give to others to first give to yourself.

In 1991 after the birth of my second child I started to experience a dramatic decline in my health again. My whole childhood and young adult hood I had experienced more illness than I believe any child should experience.

After a bout with a near death experience at 10 years of age and watching my dad in pain constant pain for 25 years I decided at 19 years young I would seek out health. Not the kind of health that comes in a bottle or a joint but the kind of health that you experience from the inside out. The kind of amazing health that feels so amazing you believe you can accomplish anything!

I have found that a complete longevity diet is made up of more than just food, according to Dr. Doug Graham in his book The 80/10/10 diet and Natural Hygene there are sat least 32 elements to health and complete wellness:

Clean, fresh air
Pure water
Foods for which we are biologically designed
Sufficient sleep
Rest and relaxation
Vigorous activity
Emotional poise and stability
Sunshine and natural light
Comfortable temperature
Human touch
Thought, cogitation and meditation
Peace, harmony, serenity and tranquility
Friendships and companionship
Gregariousness (social relationships, community)
Love and appreciation
Play and recreation
Pleasant Environment
Amusement and entertainment
Sense of humor, mirth and merriment
Security of life and its means
Inspiration, motivation, purpose and commitment
Creative, useful work (pursuit of interests)
Self-control and self-mastery
Individual sovereignty
Expression of reproductive instincts
Satisfaction of the aesthetic senses
Self-confidence
Positive self-image and sense of self-worth
Internal and external cleanliness
Smiles
Music and all other arts
Biophilia (love of nature)

When we want to achieve the best health and consume a complete longevity diet, spirit, body and mind, all we need to do is look at the this list and we can see the area of our life we may need to pay attention to.

When I am feeling off in my health I look at this list and immediately I know what area of my life I am neglecting. Think about your longevity diet as a complete experience of the senses, how much and how fresh you eat, how often you laugh, smile and connect to yourself and to others.
