Although 50% of the population in the United States will be over 65 by the year 2025, aging does not have to mean lower productivity and quality of life. In order to stay healthier longer, many people are seeking out the time-tested wisdom of Chinese Longevity Medicine. AGING MAY BE INEVITABLE, BUT POOR HEALTH IS NOT!
By the age of 40, people usually begin to experience a myriad of aging maladies such as heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, obesity, arthritis, stroke, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Others may simply feel tired, out of shape, anxious, depressed and unfulfilled. While modern medicine has neglected to address the effects of aging in any meaningful and fundamental way, Chinese Longevity Medicine has been making qualitative differences in improving the undesirable effects of aging in patients for centuries. Treatments range from acupuncture, tonic herbs and bodywork to dietary supplements, detoxification and psycho-spiritual guidance. By activating circulation, nourishing hormones, removing toxins and calming the nervous system, treatments promote regeneration and restore vitality.
You can begin to rejuvenate yourself right away. Here are five areas of self-renewal activities:
What You Eat: It is no surprise that diet is crucial to health and longevity. A diet that historically promotes longevity is high in fish and vegetables as well as mushrooms, seaweed, corn and buckwheat. It is low in animal products like meat and poultry.
What You Do: Tai chi practitioners live longer and remain healthier. Besides being enjoyable, tai chi makes you stronger. Recent studies have found that it increases energy, boosts immunity against viruses, lowers blood pressure and improves cognitive function among other benefits.
How You Heal: "First do not harm." This simple yet profound ancient wisdom still holds true today. How can healing be effective if harm is created alongside the cure? Prevention is the key to maintaining good health. If healing is required, seek natural remedies that "first do no harm."
Who You Are: Understanding your inherited and genetic vulnerabilities and the need for prevention gives you a head start on anti-aging. Chinese Longevity Medicine promotes self-responsibility and awareness-of yourself, your relationships and your health.
Where You Are: With environmental factors causing ever more damage to our well-being, it is important to know what to look out for. You can avoid chemical compounds if you buy organic foods and use glass and recycled paper products. It is also important to undergo periodic detoxification of your body.

What do you mean by this?
Are you suggesting chelation therapy or something like that?
I do have something that sticks in my mind though. Two of my grandparents lived into thier late 80's and the other two into thier mid 90's, and one is my grandpa. This is the generation that didn't throw out the bacon fat mind you.
While diet is important, it seems to me that being physically active (they worked hard all thier lives), not smoking and being overweight is a much bigger issue than just not eating beef.

Pseudo-holistic self-promoting mumbo-jumbo. Next.
a life of quality.
Ironically though, when I saw the sentence "AGING MAY BE INEVITABLE,"
it struck a chord of disagreement.
I realize that most people today consider the Bible a myth, but even where
there's smoke, something produced the smoke. In the Bible, in the very
early times, there are listings of people who lived 400 years, 600 years,
etc. Today, people are living to 100, 120.
As these scenarios unfolded in my mind, I wondered how could people
of early Biblical times lived so long. And as usual, the answer is in the
question.
Simple answer, there was no one around to tell them they couldn't.
No surveys, no theories, no litmus tests, no blood work, no official
'paper on aging.' They lived as long as they thought necessary. And
they stayed active in their world.
I like that.
People lived to 600 years? Sure they did. Your DNA is stored digitally in amino acids by the way, because of environmental and technology changes the machine that we are can be expected to live to 80, back then you probably lived to 30 if you were lucky.
