• Veering back to longevity for a second. I had a
  childhood friend who didn't smoke, do drugs, ate
  well and died at twenty-seven years old. He
  walked into gas stations to visit his buddy, it
  was robbed and he was shot dead an innocent by
  standard. Another childhood friend just died last
  year at 54, wasn't a drinker or smoker but passed
  from leukemia. How about all those children and
  adults murdered senselessly in the concentration
  camps, what quality of life did they live prior
  to becoming prisoners of war? One of my
  grandfathers died in 1970 of colon cancer, if he
  had lived in these times would have survived.

• As I mentioned above quality of life is very
  important for our well-being. My Mother used to
  say to me hard work never killed anyone stress
  does. Constantly worrying about health can be
  very stressful, so my perspective is doing what
  makes you happy in moderation is a much better
  quality of life. I was diagnosed with high
  cholesterol, my father had it, and the doctor put
  me on Lipitor, saying I should watch my diet. One
  of my favorite breakfasts were eggs and toast,
  but for year's eggs were taboo for those with
  cholesterol. I denied myself that pleasure for
  several years, only to find out new studies
  saying an egg a day is alright. Also one of the
  side effects of using that medication is liver
  damage, better to take it than not, but there are
  risks come from all angles including the medical
  cures.

• I have yet to meet many adults who weren't
  interested in staying healthy, but each of us
  being unique find are own paths. Perhaps it
  begins with our parents telling us to do certain
  things like eat a good breakfast, or bouts of
  illness we experiences during our lifetimes. I
  believe that keeping healthy is amazing when it
  comes to quality of life, not always in terms of
  longevity. As far as I know there are two things
  we can't choose, when we are born, and when we
  die. I also think many unhealthy choices are out
  of our control, the air we breathe, the chemicals
  in the food we ingest, our genes, and the viruses
  we acquire unknowingly from others. It would seem
  that what is considered good for us today, might
  be frowned upon in the future. Therefore becoming
  paranoid about a person's health could be an
  exercise in futility. Here is what I mean in
  these terms.

• The good thing is choices are not limited anymore
  since people can now choose the natural
  alternatives like Thin From Within Review
  supplements and herbs for arthritis which
  includes turmeric. In several studies, the
  potency of curcumin in reducing joint pain and
  stiffness related to rheumatoid and
  osteoarthritis is quite significant. What's more,
  scientists have now recognize turmeric as a
  potent natural anti-inflammatory that acts
  through multiple pathways by directly suppressing
  the inflammation in arthritis and most chronic
  diseases. Most studies also showed that turmeric
  curcumin is way better than anti-inflammatory
  drugs when it comes to effectiveness and safety.
