“When women and men have approximately equal life expectancies, it seems to be because women die not only in childbirth (fewer than thought) but about equal from diseases; poor sanitation and water; inadequate healthcare; and diseases of malnutrition. In industrialized societies, early deaths are caused more by diseases triggered by stress, which breaks down the immune system. It is since stress has become the key factor that men have died so much sooner than women.” MenSeemsDiesWaterPoorBreakKeysEqualDiseaseMen And WomenStressDiedFactorsFewerHealthcareBreaking DownInadequateImmuneChildbirthImmune SystemMalnutritionExpectancySanitationLife ExpectancyEarly Death Book:The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex Source: The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex
“How do you know what's really organic? Today, there's all these impurities in the water and the air. The water for the fruits and vegetables has junk in it. If you get enough vitamins and minerals out of normal food and whole grains, and you get enough proteins and exercise (that's the key) then nature builds up a tolerance to all of these things. It's survival of the fittest. You can't have everything perfect, that's impossible, but the fit survive.” IfsKnowsEnoughWholeTodayWaterPerfectImpossibleAirKeysFitExerciseNormalSurvivalFruitToleranceDo You KnowVegetablesGrainJunkProteinVitaminsMineralsSurvival Of The FittestImpurityFruits And VegetablesWhole GrainsVitamins And Minerals Author:Jack LaLanne

“And yet we constantly reclaim some part of that primal spontaneity through the youngest among us, not only through their sorrow and anger but simply through everyday discoveries, life unwrapped. To see a child touch the piano keys for the first time, to watch a small body slice through the surface of the water in a clean dive, is to experience the shock, not of the new, but of the familiar revisited as though it were strange and wonderful.” FirstsChildrenBodyWaterWatchesWonderfulChildhoodStrangeKeysSorrowDiscoveryFirst TimeExperienceCleanEverydaySurfaceFamiliarPianoShockSpontaneityPrimalPiano Keys Author:Anna Quindlen
“On a certain scale, it does look like I do a lot. But that’s my day, all day long, sitting there wondering when I’m going to be able to get started. And the routine of doing this six days a week puts a little drop in a bucket each day, and that’s the key. Because if you put a drop in a bucket every day, after three hundred and sixty-five days, the bucket’s going to have some water in it.” IfsLooksLittlesLongDoeAbleCertainThreeWaterWonderFiveWeekKeysSixHundredSittingScalesEach DayRoutineSixtyBuckets Author:John McPhee
