Living A God-Glorifying Life Through Good Health.
(Featured on CNN)


When I was growing up in the '50s and '60s, there was no obesity epidemic, and children were not developing old-age maladies such as heart disease. Cancer, Alzheimer's, and autism were virtually unheard of. Living a healthy lifestyle was a lot easier. More...

Avoid Assisted Living and Nursing Homes When You Reach the AARP Age

America's healthcare system presupposes all seniors to need multiple prescriptions, frequent hospitalizations, and a final trip to a nursing home (or at least some type of assisted living arrangement.) More...


In Living a Healthy Lifestyle, you will find cures and remedies for most of your health concerns.

What is living a healthy lifestyle? Simply put, it is way of life that promotes a physically fit, disease-free body. The only way to achieve a physically fit, disease-free body is to exercise and remain active, and to feed your body nutrient dense whole food.

Whether you need help to lose or gain weight, or maybe even a cancer or diabetes cure, this is your one stop site.

Information and disease prevention strategies are presented which conventional medicine either overlooks, or ignores altogether.

Conventional health care centers around easing or eliminating disease symptoms. However, living a healthy lifestyle looks at alternative and natural approaches towards getting rid of the disease itself.

Realizing that the medical needs and concerns of men, women, children, and senior citizens differ, living a healthy lifestyle presents health information for each group specifically. All site information is extensively cross-indexed and linked.

Topics covered include:

  • dangerous food ingredients
  • dangers of red meat
  • the great cholesterol deception
  • health dangers of excitotoxins
  • high temperature cooking

Take your time and read the information presented. You will discover nutrition and health procedures and nutrients which will protect you from chronic disease, and potentially harmful mainstream medical treatments.

Living a healthy lifestyle has your well-being and that of your family as its primary goal.

Living a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be a dream. You can live it and still enjoy life to the fullest.

More often than not, overweight and obesity are signs of an unhealthy lifestyle. But you don't have to let those extra pounds keep you a prisoner. There is nothing you cannot achieve once you have determined to do it.

Remember, where the mind leads, the body must follow. Living a healthy lifestyle is a way of life. Your body will soon crave it.

Once you realize the benefits, and then put into practice the steps necessary to achieve them, healthy living will become second nature.

Study after study reveal that obesity raises your risk of cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other devastating illnesses.

It's a lot harder living a healthy lifestyle today than it was a half century ago. Today's technology-driven society and plummeting economy create a lot of stress. Unfortunately stress contributes to weight gain.

There is also a lot less unprocessed, whole foods and a good deal more health destroying processed foods. Living a healthy lifestyle has become a real challenge.

Living a healthy lifestyle website provides the truth about health, nutrition, and weight loss. It then provides doable strategies so that you can lose those excess pounds permanently.

Permanent weight loss cannot be achieved with any of the dozens of diets on the marketplace. Diets Don't Work--but living a healthy lifestyle does!

The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar empire. Naturally when so much money is being spent on weight loss diets--hucksters, misinformation, and fraudulent products flood the scene. Their sole purpose is to separate you from your hard earned money -- with you on the losing end.

The information contained on this website will help steer you in the right direction so that you can make an informed decision. There is no short-cut to weight loss. Anybody who says there is simply not telling the truth!

Living a healthy lifestyle has vanished from the average American's must-do list. According to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, overweight Americans 20 and over in 1960 was 45% and those who were obese was 13%. Today these numbers have grown to 66% and 33% respectively!

There seems to be no end in sight! If the present trend continues, 75 percent of American adults will be overweight in 2015 and 41 percent will be obese!

Unfortunately, growing waistlines are not confined to America. The entire world has been infected with accelerating obesity rates. Though diverse cultures and peoples are involved, the solution is common-- A return to Living a Healthy Lifestyle!

The top eight countries for overweight individuals as compiled by Forbes is: (1) Nauru (population: 13,000) (2) Federated States of Micronesia (3) Cook Islands (population: 14,000) (4) Tonga (population: 114,000) (5) Nire (6) Samoa (7) Palau (8) Kuwait and the (9) United States.

The first eight countries are located in the South Pacific. Kuwait is in the Middle East. These statistics are based on a population aged 15 years and older.

Returning to living a healthy lifestyle means returning to the whole, natural foods of your ancestors, and being as physically active as they were. There is no getting around it.

Benefits include a medication-free life and abundant health into your 70s and 80s, and even beyond. Weight management comes naturally without the worries of dieting.

Living a healthy lifestyle is holistic. It goes beyond the physical, and includes the emotional, mental, and the spiritual. Trouble with your emotional, mental, or spiritual state can manifest itself physically.

There is an old saying which goes like this--'if you don't know history, you are doomed to repeat it.' When I was growing up in the 50s and early 60s, there were only a couple of my classmates who would be considered overweight. Today it is reversed. There is only a handful who are of normal weight!

What has changed between then and now?

As a baby boomer growing up in America I have seen a lot of technological change. I realize that change is inevitable. As a matter of fact, the only thing in society that won't change is the fact that things will change.

However there is a downside to change or progress. It is unfortunate that this downside is not always apparent when a new process is implemented or a new gadget is placed on the market.

We are reaping these many downsides today in devastating ways. The new technology of yesteryear is compromising our health and sending us to early graves today. A healthy lifestyle is nowhere to be found.

Growing up in the '50s and '60s we, like today's youth, ate hot dogs and hamburgers and drank sodas and shoved tons of cakes, cookies, and ice cream down our throats. Despite all of that junk food, we remained 'slim 'n trim' and didn't have the medical crisis so common today. In other words, we yet had a healthy lifestyle!

What has changed? That question can be answered in one word - technology! Trans fats didn't appear on the commercial market until the mid '80s. High fructose corn syrup was introduced as a sweetener in the '70s. Passive devices such as cell phones, video games, and the internet are relatively latecomers--mid to late '80s and later.

The meat and dairy industries underwent "technological" change too. Factory farming, also known as confined animal feeding operation (CAFO), was introduced in the 1970s and 1980s.

CAFO removed cattle from the pasture and enclosed them in tight, unsanitary quarters. And instead of feeding on grass, forbs, and herbs as God created them to eat, these animals were fed grain.

The grain is pesticide and herbicide-laced and there is a high probability that it is genetically modified. All of this has a negative effect on your health.

Due to the high stress of being packed like sardines, and the filthy conditions that surround them, disease is a great possibility. To fight that, these animals are given antibiotics in their feed or through injection.

In order to prepare them for slaughter, cattle are also given hormones to fatten them up. All of these chemicals are stored in the fatty tissue and wind up on the consumers dinner plate.

Trans fats and high fructose corn syrup, along with monosodium glutamate, are making Americans obese, addicted to snack and junk foods, and sick. The passive devices mentioned above are encouraging a strictly sedentary existence.

This makes living a healthy lifestyle next to impossible. Many people fail to lose weight despite a healthy lifestyle because of toxic buildup on the inside. John Wayne had about 25 pounds of fecal buildup in his colon when he died.

Living a healthy lifestyle can be as simple as this mathematical equation: healthy life (or healthy living) = nutrition + exercise. No one has to be a rocket scientist to understand that. Learn the essentials that make up this equation, and how to put them into everyday use by going through this site.


Should fast food restaurants be allowed to participate in the food stamp program? Over 20 percent of the American population participates in the USDA's (United States Department of Agriculture) SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) - commonly known as food stamps.

milk proteinGetting Enough Protein Is a Must For Successful Weight Loss Many dieters don't realize that protein for weight loss is crucial to their success. People looking to shed a few pounds not only need protein--they need enough protein.

However, not only those on a weight loss plan need adequate protein. Living a healthy lifestyle requires that everyone consume enough protein in their diet.

Researchers found that eating more protein increases your GFR (glomerular filtration rate.) The GFR is the amount of blood your kidneys are filtering per minute. Researchers jumped to the conclusion that a high GFR places the kidneys under a greater amount of stress.

However Dutch researchers discovered 20 years ago that a higher GFR produced by high protein consumption does not damage healthy kidneys. Up to 1.27 grams of protein per pound of body weight can safely be eaten without stressing the kidneys. More...

Strengthen your lower back by playing "Superman"

As I was flipping through the pages of Muscle & Performance magazine, I came upon an exercise movement that targets the lower back.

I happen to have a bad lower back which I need to keep strong. To strengthen it I perform hyperextensions. For that I use a sit-up chair at the gym I attend.

But what if you were on vacation, or didn't have access to that special chair? Well this movement which I will describe fills in nicely.

This lower back exercise is called the "superman." Lie flat on your stomach with your arms outstretched above your head and palms on the floor. Now lift your arms and upper body while at the same time lifting your legs. (Don't bend the knees.)

Return to the starting position and repeat. The movement is small but extremely effective.
