Ageing and our Quality of Life

The Western medical system has become very good at keeping sick people alive for longer, and life expectancy is high. Studies have shown that the number of people with lifestyle diseases is increasing rapidly, due mainly to obesity and poor diet.

The Report of the Chief Health Officer released today by NSW Health said that NSW residents are not eating their recommended level of vegetables. Only 5% of men, 10% of women, and 20% of children reported eating the 5 vegetables a day recommended for healthy living. Studies in other Western countries would probably have similar results.

Well, I don’t want to spend my old age being sick – who would? The answer to living your ‘extra’ years in a healthy way, is to improve your diet NOW. Don't wait until it's too late.

However, many people have difficulty eating a minimum of 5 pieces of fruit/vegetables each day. That’s why I recommend juicing. In just one glass I can juice 5 different vegetables or fruit, and it only takes a minute to drink this. How easy is that? All done in 1 go. There are lots of juice recipes and heaps more information on how to improve your health in the Amazing Diet.
