"Keep your kids away from chemical personal-care products and make sure they're eating right and getting enough exercise. Toxic Temptations As your kids grow more independent and drift into the "real world," they'll face a lot of the same dilemmas that you did years earlier. Help them make the most of their new autonomy. Personal Care Products If you've taught your teenagers how to make consumer decisions with foresight and care, they should already have the savvy to examine labels before bringing any new personal-care products into the home." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"A secret to eating right for the long run is emulating the environment and habits of the world's longest-lived people. Dr. Brian Wansink, author of Mindless Eating, is conducting perhaps the most innovative research on what makes us eat the way we do. As Okinawan elders instinctively know, the amount of food we eat is less a function of feeling full and more a matter of what's around us. We overeat because of circumstances—friends, family, packages, plates, names, numbers, labels, lights, colors, candles, shapes, smells, distractions, cupboards, and containers." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

It's a good two-for-one deal if ever there was one! In choosing the best activities, a good rule of thumb is to do what you enjoy. Walking and swimming are great forms of exercise that are easy on the body. Light weight training, jogging, aerobics, and organized sports such as golf and Softball are excellent, if your body is up to it." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"If, as I mention earlier, your kids are eating right and getting out there and exercising every single day, they're far less likely to start smoking cigarettes (like 3 million other teenagers in this country!) or abusing alcohol or drugs. Keep an eye on your kids. Talk to them about these issues whenever you can, and always without preaching. Nurture their self-esteem so they don't feel the need to venture down these dangerous paths.

"This law refers to hygienic fasting, hygienic dieting for weight loss and hygienic detoxification while eating right.

Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Since I first wrote eating right for a Bad Gut, much research has been done on inflammation in general, and in IBD specifically. There is no doubt that by shifting your dietary fat balance (Chapters Thirteen and Fourteen) you can reduce inflammation. However, it calls for reducing to a minimum all animal fat, especially from red meat. The best approach is simply to stop eating red meat, or eat it only once a month. Other epidemiological research indicates that eating beef in particular, and high-cholesterol meat in general, predisposes a person to IBD." - James Scala, The New eating right for a Bad Gut: The Complete Nutritional Guide to Ileitis, Colitis, Crohn's Disease, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Get the book.)

"First, a couple decades ago, the emphasis was on environment, eating right, exercising, getting good medical care. Then the view switched to genes, the idea that you either inherit the right combination of genes that will let you eat fatty steaks and smoke cigars and live to be a hundred or you do not. And the notion has stuck so that these days many people point to an ancestor or two who lived a long life and assume they have a genetic gift for longevity." - Peter J.

If your health condition allows, weight train for 30-60 minutes every other day. If you are too ill or weak to go a full 30 minutes, start with 5 or 10 minutes.

"Study after study has shown that obesity can easily return when individuals stop exercising and eating right, or if they discontinue a weight-loss medication.
