Do you have high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis?
It is a common practice to associate these diseases with old age, mainly because they start to show complications between the ages of 50 and 70. However, these major diseases are greatly influenced by your eating, exercise, and sleeping habits. Research has shown that the type of food you choose, the amount of food you eat, how much exercise you do, and how much stress you have in your life can influence when these diseases start to affect your life.
The conventional way of thinking is to have yearly check-ups and hope that you don't get sick, and if you do, make sure you have health insurance so the doctor can cure you.
Alternative lifestyles adopt the concept that you can influence the type of health you have through making healthy choices. You'll still have yearly check-ups and health insurance but your life is geared towards a preventative lifestyle of healthy eating, exercise, and contentment.
