FREE report by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, reveals why nutritional deficiencies are destroying America's health and economy... and how to restore America's future with real food.

This is good science -- and good critical thinking -- from a couple of researchers who argue against the common myth that "old people just get sick." It isn't true, these researchers explain, and they back it up with sound scientific arguments. I've argued this for a long time, too, promoting the idea that bodies don't wear out. In fact, your body can stay healthy, flexible and strong for a hundred years if you treat it right. What causes so-called "old age" is simply a lifetime of poor nutrition (eating the standard American diet), lack of healthy breathing, lack of flexibility, lack of body strength, and lack of mental exercise, among other reasons.

Of course, a person who believes old age automatically results in disease will act accordingly and show the expected results. But a person who understands that their personal health outcome is entirely in their hands will achieve phenomenal results and live a long, happy, and healthy live without drugs, surgery, chemotherapy or even visiting a doctor.

I knew a man who lived well into his 70's and had never seen a doctor or taken prescription drugs in his entire life. He biked 20 miles, three times a week, to his dying day. And he lifted weights daily. His nutritional habits were less than ideal, however, demonstrating that he probably could have lived even longer if he had consumed superfoods like chlorella and spirulina or taken health-promoting nutritional supplements.
