Cause of Death; Cause of Life

What is the #1 cause of death? Death. Yes, death is the #1 cause. Everyone will die, unless we figure out how to play with genetics, aging, the mind, and things beyond the physical world for sure. So let's ask a better question. What's the #1 cause of life? Is it diet, exercise, a positive mental attitude, peace, meditation, money (doubt it), love?

We as a society, and more from doctors, researchers, and drug companies' perspectives and approaches, are so focused on the top causes of death, that we forget to inform, educate and promote the top causes of a healthy life! What great information and conditioning of beliefs that could be instilled into the public is the focus was not and is not on the negative. We're alive! What can we do to make it better!?

Medifast Diet

We're so busy avoiding the inevitable instead of making the quality and joy of living much more fulfilling that we've forgotten about the opportunities that exist to pursue of life of health, happiness and prosperity. We need to be so busy ignoring the obvious - those things that are obviously compromising our health - and start relying on healthy choices to provide and support most everything we need to be healthy (save those few instances when antibiotics are needed).

Diet can mean everything when it comes to matters of the mind or body. Eat how you want to feel. That is, if you want to feel sluggish, tired, run-down, lackadaisical, 'foggy', unsure, unclear, uncertain, and/or unhealthy, then you want to eat plenty of fast food, french fries, milk shakes, candy bars, pizza, burritos, soft drinks, potato chips, and oh yeah hot dogs. But if you want to feel energized, clear-headed, productive, creative, and start to discover your full potential, then your diet will consist of lots of fruits and vegetables, lots of nutrient-dense foods (fruits and vegetables again), water-rich foods (fruits and vegetables), and plenty of lean protein sources (fish, beans), and of course water as your #1 beverage. Even supplementing your diet with whole food based nutrients to be sure you're getting enough antioxidant support is good. Overall, focusing on the quality of life is more important, and a positive approach to health, than trying to avoid, fix, heal, or cure what ails you after the fact. And leaving your cure in the hands of doctors or drugs is just as much a negative approach than trying to correct your diet and lifestyle. So start making healthy choices and living your life to its fullest!
