There was an article about an Israeli woman I believe, about 6 months ago, who claimed to be like 126 years old. They had some documentation proving it. When asked what her secrets were she said she drank a small glass of olive oil every day since she could remember and also took walks for cardio. Thats all.

This thread sure caught my attention. Diagnosed with cancer almost 4 years ago, I immediately began following a whole foods pure vegetarian diet (check out "Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. John McDougall's books/ website - http://www.drmcdougall.com/free.html, and The China Study by Dr. T.Colin Campbell). No refined foods, no meat/dairy, no added oils. This is the true key to longevity. Supplements are an unnecessary waste of money. Resveratrol is just another money sink. Whole foods diet with minimal or no animal products and caloric restriction are the only proven paths to longevity and good health.

I chose this path instead of chemotherapy, because it boosts the immune system instead of destroying it. So far, best decision I've ever made:

My health improved drastically within 2 weeks of dropping animal products and added oils from my diet and I've been healthy and cancer-free ever since. The health problems that disappeared in less than 2 weeks: chronic arthritis, sciatica, acid reflux/hiatal hernia, asthma, allergies, and PMS (made the hubby happy). Plus my cholesterol dropped from 191 to 127 in 6 weeks.

I have limitless energy and need only 6 hours of sleep a night now. I feel better than I've ever felt in my entire life. I doubt I'd ever be able to handle the stresses of learning to trade this past year if I wasn't in such optimal health as a result of eating right, and getting a good workout every day.

You can't bottle this and sell it. That's why this information isn't trumpeted in the popular media.

Follow this plan, then take the money you'd spend on supplements and doctor's bills and short a pharmaceutical stock

NODOJI what you posted above is the best post and advice ever. you could not be more correct

i party i drink and eat. changed my diet similar to what you said and i feel great think much clearer than before wow!!!

=====================
Sounds true,RR;
walking is better than running especially on pavement.

Olive oil is tasty on wholewheat sanwiches & tomato juice...........

Olive oil is very good. Buy first cold pressed because it does not lose nutrients with heat process. Buy in dark glass or a can so light can not destroy the nutrients.
Here is good dressing for salad.
3/4 olive oil
1/4 wine vinegar
little water
4 or more clove of garlic with garlic press to have the juices
oregano
basil
salt
pepper
little bit of brown sugar
Shake it together.
Easy to make, less money too than dressing in the bottle at the market.

Thanks for sharing your story and this information. Glad that you are healthy and feeling so good now.

Your post really caught my attention. I am going to try this for 12 days and see how I feel afterwards. I am a huge fan of meat so this is going to be very challenging but we'll see how it goes. Nothing on the list seemed to be to hard as I knew I would have to give up meats and all and I don't eat much cheese or dairy.

The one item that caught my attention though was coffee. I don't think I can give that up but was surprised to see it was a no-no. I drink espresso (no sugar) every morning so at least it is not a Starbucks cafe mocha with whipped cream on top. Oh well, guess you got to keep some vices... I didn't see alcohol either but I wasn't really wanting too Cheers!

I have done a decent amount of research on resveratrol, and supplements appear to be a waste of money. The problem is that it oxidizes and becomes ineffective. The same thing happens to the resveratrol in wine if you don't drink the bottle in a day or so. You need to get resveratrol through wine or food. Unless you are sharing the bottle of wine one normally does not drink a bottle in a day, so you may want to consider the box wine that is vacuum sealed. Yes, I said box wine. There is a decent selection these days. You just drink a glass or two and no concerns about oxidation. Grapes, muscadines and peanuts are good sources too. You can search for others.

Healthy oils you should consider are omega 3 (fish oil) and extra virgin olive oil. Make sure the fish oil supplement you get has been distilled so mercury is not a concern. Store the olive oil away from direct sunlight. Also, almonds are very healthy nuts and the only one I eat. While walnuts contain omega 3 they are very acidic to your system. So are peanuts.

The best site I have found for quality supplements at great prices is Vitacost.

The Dr. McDougall site has some decent info but is far from optimal. Many of the foods listed are very acidic to your system, and this negatively impacts health. I suggest you do some research on how foods impact body pH. The important thing is how the particular food affects your body and not the pH of the food. Here's a link you may want to read, but the main thing is the chart at the bottom of the page. There are other charts out there, so just use it as a guide. Some people may not believe in this aspect of food, but it may be helpful to some. The goal is too eat 2/3 to 3/4 of your diet from the foods that have an alkaline impact.

the healthy effects of the Mediterranean diet have to do with lots of veggies, little fish and very little meat. olive oil has little to add to the nutritional benefits of a largely plant diet.
