How Will YOU Die?

How Will YOU Die?

I ran across this article and wanted to share it because it is very thought provoking reality you should be thinking about. There is a RISE in diseases and illnesses, not a decline. What will another 20 years look like? Where will you be health wise, especially if you are already suffereing from "age related" medical-termed-realities? Whatever your parents have now, will be what you get (plus more) but at an earlier age. It's time to do something about it.

What Will You Die Of? -Roger Mason

We're all going to die like it or not. Even Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and Mohammed died. We are only on earth for a very short time so let's make the best of it.

What are we going to die of? How can we live longer and not die prematurely? DIET, proven supplements, natural hormones, exercise, and fasting will all help us to live as long as possible. Quality of life is infinitely more important than quantity of life. Quality of life is everything.

What can we expect to die of?

The leading causes of death for Americans according to the National Center for Health Statistics are: Cardiovascular disease is far and away the biggest killer of all. The fact we eat 42% fat calories in our food is the basic reason for this. The most important indicator of CHD health is your total cholesterol (and triglyceride) level. Cancers of all types are the second leading cause of death. Prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women are the leading cancers. We could almost put an end to cancer with diet and lifestyle changes. Stroke and similar conditions are the third cause. Here the 160 pounds of sugar we hog down every year seem to be a prime cause of brittle brain blood vessels. Emphysema and similar respiratory illnesses are the fourth cause.
Accidents, especially automobile crashes, are the fifth leading cause. Almost 50,000 people a year die in auto accidents alone. Alcohol and drugs play a big part here.
Diabetes is a growing epidemic in America. 1 in 3 American children born today will grow up to be diabetic. The 42% fat in our food, refined grains, and the 160 pounds of sugars we eat every year cause this more than anything.
Pneumonia and influenza (flu) are the seventh. This is due to low immunity basically. Alzheimer's disease was unknown fifty years ago. Now it affects millions of Americans every year. This is not to be confused with common senility. There are causes for this recent epidemic, but we're not yet clear on exactly what they are. Kidney failure such as nephritis and nephrosis is the ninth cause. Dialysis machines and kidney transplants are obviously not the answer here. Our kidneys fail due to abuse from bad diet, alcohol, prescription drugs, coffee, and other factors.
Blood infection or septicemia is the tenth leading cause of death. You hear very little about such a major cause of death. Low immunity again is the basic cause here.
Suicide is supposedly the eleventh cause, but a lot of deaths are not classified as such even though they should be. Suicide actually is more prevalent that the statistics say. When someone has three times the legal blood alcohol level and is driving at 70 miles an hour and crashes, that is not an accident- it is suicide. The main cause of suicide is depression.
Cirrhosis and liver disease (such as fatty liver) is the twelfth cause. Liver transplants are not the answer here. Our liver is the largest organ of the body (after the skin) and processes fats, drugs and chemicals. Better diet and lifestyle would pretty much eliminate all liver disease.
Hypertension or high blood pressure is another epidemic in America. Most of this is due to stress and insulin resistance. This is the thirteenth cause of death but contributes to early death in many other causes.
Homicide is the fourteenth cause, but much higher if you are African and much lower if you are European.
Parkinson's disease is the fifteenth cause of death. Poisoning people with prescription drugs is not the answer to this condition either.

All of these diseases and conditions could be reduced to a small fraction with healthier foods lifestyles.

Every year we eat more meals in fast food restaurants including McDonalds, Hardee's KFC, Wendy's, Pizza Hut and all the rest.

Until we change the way we live our quality of life will just get worse. Doctors, drugs, radiation, surgery and chemotherapy just deal with the symptoms of our problems and not the cause.
