The secret to feeling younger than your years

The baby-boomers are getting older…

Boomers are defined as having been born between 1946 and 1964, which makes that group 47-65 years old. So many are moving into retirement age.

Even the celebrities we used to think of as “forever young” are turning 65.

But they won’t age the same way their parents did. Today’s seniors are more active and less willing to settle for the old folks’ home. With advances in anti-aging medicine, new and exciting changes are comin

My Favorite Delicious Juice

“Let me look at some of these…” I reached out and put the soursop fruit right up to the lens of my video camera.

I said to my friend Westi, “I love soursop. I wish I could grow it in Florida. But the tree dies if the temperature gets below about 40 degrees.”

Westi and his wife Lelir were taking me on a tour of their garden deep in the mountains of Bali near the little town of Ubud.

I’ve written to you before about his endless turmeric plants and hundreds of aloe, basil, and other healing plants growing there.

Far from Nature

You know I believe that you should imitate our native ancestors and make a variety of protein the center of all your meals.

But it’s not ok to gobble down just any kind of protein. The type you eat is important, too. Or maybe I should say, the nature of the protein.

You see, protein is damaged by heat. You “denature” protein when you heat it for too long, or when you cook it in very high heat. The nature of the protein changes.

This is what happens when they process or “cure” meat. In fact, it’s how they sterilize medical supplies and instruments. They heat them to an extreme, which denatures proteins in any bacteria that may be there, destroying them.

The Herb of Immortality

You probably know sage as a cooking spice. But it’s too good just to keep in your kitchen and break out only for your Thanksgiving turkey.

Your ancient ancestors prized sage. They thought people who drank sage tea never got old.

They called sage the “herb of immortality.”

In ancient Rome, if you wanted to pick sage you had to have a ceremony. The ancient Aztecs also revered it, and used the leaves to make face paint that marked rank in their society.
