No need to be a Vegan or Vegetarian to live longer

This is from my new book NUTRITION -Live 115 years Volume 2:

Chapter: Vegetarian

... You don’t need to call yourself a vegetarian. But if you're serious about living a long and healthy life, eating like one most of the time will get you closer to the goal of 115. This isn’t about following a trend. It’s not about joining a movement. It’s about following a way of eating that’s been proven time and again to support longevity, vitality, and disease resistance. It works on various levels, and that’s what matters.

Call it the “modern” version of a vegetarian, who can eat meat and fish of the best quality as additional sources for nutrition. And vegetarian in this meaning is not at all a “way of life” or something trendy, politically correct, or so. It’s the fact that most of your food should be plant-based. ...

You are what you eat

A vegetable stir-fry is easy to prepare, inexpensive, and a healthy and tasty meal. If the ingredients are seasonal, home-grown and harvested, all the better. And yet, a hearty German roast pork (vegetarians may forgive me) is of equal value. 

It all comes down to the spiritual connection between me and the food. Of course, a rather bland ready-made meal from a can can't compete with a vegetable stir-fry.  

Nevertheless, it should be noted that there are yogis who live on a handful of rice a day. And it's well known that a humble meal surrounded by loved ones is far more satisfying than the most expensive food in times of discord and discontent. The way to a person's heart is through their stomach.

Fat people are good savers

Fat people are good savers. They always deposit more than they withdraw. But what seems sensible in the financial realm spells disaster when applied to one's body. From Club 115, we know there are NO DIETS. 

There is only one way to avoid becoming overweight and even fat. This path is based on the understandable and straightforward formula: 

What goes in must also go out. In other words, if I consume x calories, I must also burn x calories. Anything x+ calories I supply to the body leaves it with a reservoir. If this reservoir becomes too large, it initially becomes unnoticed, but later becomes visible and noticeable, resulting in obesity.

 

Type 2 diabetes is preventable

 First of all, type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes caused by one's own behavior. 

So, what can you do to avoid this devilish disease with the sweet name? 

First, understand that you shouldn't overeat, because everything the body doesn't use is stored. The result is that people get fat. This also applies to animals, by the way; there are already many four-legged friends with diabetes. 

The other way around, however, is also true: those who are already ill can often restore their health through a healthy diet, i.e., eating less! If a person constantly eats too well and eventually becomes fat, the concentration of sugar in the blood can be permanently too high. 

The pancreas will then secrete more and more insulin to transport the excess of the sweet substance into the cells. But as mentioned, there is help if it's not too late. If the pancreas hasn't stopped working yet, the insensitivity of the insulin receptors can be reversed by eating healthier foods. If you eat little, you only have small amounts of glucose in your blood. The pancreas then secretes only a small amount of insulin. This makes the insulin receptors more sensitive again, and the transport of sugar from the blood into the body's cells starts up again. So: Stay slim! Or get fast slim!

Drink water and reach 115 years of age (Information no 1 about water)

 

Water is the most important intake after air. If you drink too little of it, the body is just not working well enough for what it is designed.

The world’s surface is made of 71 % water and so is the human body. And probably the universe is the same. We just don’t know. What we know is the fact, if you ignore the water consumption, you won’t make it with us to 115 years lifespan.

Benefits of drinking enough water:

• Join all those people they want to expand life span to 115 years with Club 115 Ltd.

• Feel instant better and healthier

• Water is the cheapest you can drink

• Your body works well, especially organs and your brain gets help to function

• The skin looks fine and produces less wrinkles

• Research at Club 115 Ltd. has found that even varicose veins benefit from water

Drink more green tea

 Make it a good habit to replace the cups of coffee and black tea by GREEN tea.

Apple day!

 
Eat one apple a day. Really? An apple a day, keeps the doctor away. In Japan they say that about cherries.

But anyway, apples are good for you and add to longevity. Eating a few apples a week will improve the function of your lungs. Apples contain the antioxidant quercetin, which protects your lungs from the effects caused by smoke and air pollution.

Apples and carrots go well together.

Do you want to look more attractive? Five a day

  People who eat more fruits and vegetables not only look better and healthier, but they are also likely to be healthier, researchers say, because these foods contain antioxidants, which help the body fight infection. British researchers are now proving their theory again, eat five servings of fruit and vegetables a day and you're on the safe side. 

Of course, eating fruit and vegetables is much better than having ready meals and doner kebabs every day. "We all know that we should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but we don't have enough motivation to actually eat healthy food," says Ross Whitehead, leader of the research team, in the Daily Telegraph.

 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9128696/Eating-fruit-and-veg-boosts-attractiveness.html

 "Telling people that if they don't eat healthier they might have a heart attack in 40 years is one thing. But when they say you could look this good in a few months if you ate more fruit and veg, that's more motivating.” 

What I think is exaggerated is the myth of five types/servings a day. This is similar to a 24/7 contract for the gym. The more opportunity, the less often you go. That's what the operators build on, because if all the members came suddenly, there wouldn't be enough space. And five times fruit a day is so high that the thought quickly comes to mind: ‘I can’t do it.’ 

So much fruit and vegetables have to be bought and managed. Then a lot gets thrown away. I swear by the saying: An apple a day, keeps the doctor away". And if you pick the apple yourself, so much the better. What the apple means to the European, the plum means to the Japanese. And the researchers agree on that. Plums and carrots can promote an attractive appearance. 

And the German newspaper Bild says: “Beauty tips against aging. Have sex! It's not only beautiful, it's also the perfect rejuvenation cure, because lots of anti-aging hormones are released."

One two three four - you are obese

Every fourth German adult is now overweight. According to a survey by the Robert Koch Institute, 25% of all adults are obese. Obesity, as obesity is called, primarily affects women over the age of 30 and the lower educated classes are well represented. 

(I always say: stupidity eats - intelligence drinks). 

 

 The increasing number of obesity surgeries such as stomach reduction or the removal of fat aprons also shows the problems caused by being overweight in Germany. Those are the ugly scraps of skin that often remain when a fat person loses weight. According to the Techniker Krankenkasse, the number of surgical procedures nationwide among those insured by the substitute health insurance funds increased by 65 percent from 2009 to 2012. 

 

Needless to say, diabetes and cardiovascular disease go hand in hand. What I actually think the worst is the high number of overweight children and young people. A time bomb is ticking here, which will probably cause big trouble in the future.

Watch out before you need this

Eat healthy

Live 20 years longer with the right diet.

Researchers are certain that nutrition is the key to a long life. 

Balancing vitamin requirements with tablets does not help.

Eat the right stuff!

And: Don't diet! Since I learned reading there been about 2000 diets in the various magazines, not a single one did the job. Keep that on mind.

Move - move - move!

"How is it that possible I have quietly gained 25 kg since my 20th birthday?

 "And even though I always eat healthy and conscious and even do sports regularly "

Well, that's easy to explain. Today, you're weighing 25 kg more, which means you've only gained about 0.8 kg on average over the past 30 years. And that comes naturally unnoticed. The
clothes size does not change in one fell swoop, no one draws your attention to it, because it is almost unnoticeable.

The reason for such a slow weight gain, despite active membership in the sports club is due to the daily routine. Even if we e.g. being physically challenged at work and even exercising actively once a week, it is not enough to clear the balance between food intake and calorie needs / burns.

Scientists at the US University of Missouri have researched that a predominantly sedentary lifestyle and work style can not be compensated by the occasional walk to the gym or other sports activities.

What's missing are 10,000 steps per day, the scientists say. Accordingly, physical inactivity is the main reason for the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes or obesity.

Therefor >>> out of the TV chair!

Gardening is a very good activity to stay trim and fit
