Add Nine Years To Your Life Without Diet or Exercise!
There are so many diets and exercise programs out there that promise renewed vitality that you can get dizzy just considering their pro’s and con’s.
Which one should you believe?
There was that prestigious west coast professor who touted near starvation as a path to a long life. He researched rats, finding that he could extend their tiny lifetimes by a substantial amount through “caloric restriction.”
I don’t know how happy they were, but they were skinnier, and yes, they stuck around, probably looking for food, for a statistically significant greater amount of time than the chubbier control group.
What happened to that lean scientist?
He died fairly young, when you consider that he didn’t make it out of his seventies.
Remember Dr. Atkins, another diet guru? He’s dead, too.
I know what you’re going to say: We ALL die!
Recently, a number of marathon runners have suddenly died during or immediately following races. These are marvelously fit specimens, but early indications suggest they’ve overdone a good thing, and have simply exercised too much.
So, what’s the answer, and how can you add up to nine years to your life without diet or exercise?
That’s easy.
According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year).
In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube.
Don’t be average.
Turn off your TV, and instantly, you’ll recover up to 9 of the best years you’re ever going to get!
