SECRETS of longevity: What I've learned over 10 years about lifestyle changes & the best food for anti aging success.

Ranked #9,725 in Healthy Living, #160,717 overall

Here are the secrets of longevity I've learned about natural, preventative measures and other often little-known measures we can easily adopt in our lives to try and delay the physical, both inner and outer, effects of aging.

I understand that the process begins from around the age of 30 - a frightening thought. Here's what happened to give me a wake-up call to longevity, aging and what I could do about it ... NATURALLY!

My lifestyle today is based on living for longevity. Anti aging is very important and has already shown real results (see more below).

Simply enter a few details and instantly you have an age which is estimated to be your life expectancy. I found I only needed to add something and remove something from my diet and my life expectancy increased by two years. Go ahead, it's free with no strings attached. Click here to answer a few questions and you'll learn what is your life expectancy (and how you can extend it).

Here's how I plan to live longer and feel younger and healthier (you can too)

When my world collapsed around me I lost my freelance business (meaning my entire income), my second marriage, my home, my savings, car, credit cards, even my identity. I retreated, licking my wounds, to a friend's old caravan parked outside their home in a small town in the Aussie bush. As for my health, I was suffering from fatigue, depression, grief, burn-out, stress, anxiety, exhaustion, muscular pain, and a dose of mid-life crisis. I thought I was going to die. And I probably was.

Over the years that followed I pulled out of the fire, phoenix-like, often purely by accident, a few secrets not only to my recovery but, as it happened, to the application of what I had discovered about longevity, aging and lifestyle adjustments including the best food for anti aging. Today I'm no longer the same person I was then and I'm super conscious of a need to live - and feel - like aging is simply not happening. I've become accustomed to people choking on their beer when I tell them my age, commenting that I look 15 years younger.

So in summary, here is my own personal recipe for living longer and enjoying life.

(1) Natural mineral water internally and externally. Of couse that means finding a nearby spa resort or heading for one on your vacation. I drank natural mineral water pumped from deep underground and was pampered in mineral water baths, sometimes followed by a massage, which is not exactly hard to take. Some people I met would swear by its therapeutic benefits. If you're looking for a good excuse to have your next vacation Downunder the town where I lived for 5 years in a caravan was Hepburn Springs. It's in Victoria's Central Highlands a one and a half hour drive from Melbourne (less from the airport). Recommended accommodation: romantic self-contained cottages. Read more about mineral water therapy below.

(2) Finding, and living, your life's true purpose. I was living my absolutely wrong purpose in life hence, I believe, my downfall. At the eleventh hour I was forced, through circumstances, to change the direction of my life and my health and the path to longevity has been the result. I've been influenced by Carol Adrienne's books which are highly practical and which I recommend to anyone (see below). "For our own good," says author Caroline Myss, "each of us needs to learn what our mission is [in life], because the details of how we live our lives accumulate to create health or illness." ['Sacred Contracts'] This complete life makeover program is specifically designed to reveal to you the purpose of your life (and much more).


(3) Through a chance book purchase at a sale I discovered the benefits of muscle stretching as taught by Callan Pinckney who claims she can make one 10 years younger. For a mere 20-30 minutes a day (at home) and the single purchase of her book, video or DVD, you can hugely change your appearance and your wellbeing. As I have done.
(4) Adopt a longevity lifestyle and diet that includes food for anti ageing. Again what started with a purchase at a book sale began a lifelong interest in anti-aging. That book was 'Future Youth: How to Reverse the Aging Process' (published in 1987 so is a little out of date now). Following are links to the current bestselling books and other products (updated hourly) on Amazon for you to choose what appeals to you and what is H-O-T right at this hour.


(5) Even before this disaster I'd practiced daily, in my own home every morning on waking, basic yoga exercises. I believe they've helped sustain me through the roughest times. Nothing too esoteric, just the basic asanas.

(6) Here's where we can kill 2 birds with the one stone. Back in the '70s, when I was young and naive, I fancied myself as a hippie and in a rash moment agreed to start a commune on 40 acres with a group of friends. Within 6 months it was shaping as a disaster and it broke up. I believed then, in the days of flower power and all-you-need-is-love, we could live a better life "in harmony with nature." It was a noble - but impractical - goal. A few years ago I met two women who were feng shui consultants. At the time I couldn't even pronounce it (fung-shway) but I was fascinated by the idea that, through these ancient Chinese principles, I could bring "harmony with nature" to me - wherever I was living. Even large institutions like banks employ feng shui experts to design the interiors of their offices. Fired up again with what seemed to be a life changing idea I searched the internet and, finally, found an excellent and comprehensive guide to how feng shui can work miracles in my life, again, for the price of a traditional book. And here's the best part - there's a free 118 page download of 'Practical Lessons in Yoga.' Two for the price of one! Click here.I'm sure that already feng shui is influencing my life in areas of - as they claim - health, prosperity, productivity, energy, love life, family life, happiness and luck. And I don't need no 40 acres.

In addition to the above there were 3 magical books I stumbled upon which played a major role in turning my life around - forever. To read about them click here. They are the only 3 non-fiction (non-religious) books you ever need to read.

Longevity secret: find your life purpose (or destiny) and live it

As I learned for myself, in the most dramatic way (bankruptcy), making a few tweeks to your life can also tweek your luck, self confidence, career, success, prosperity, happiness, finding a soulmate, the dreaded Mid-Life Crisis, also in a dramatic way! This is the broader picture where finding the real purpose of your life - just any old purpose won't do - is the very foundation of the mix of life we need to get right if we are to succeed at anything!

"There is nothing wrong with change," said Sir Winston Churchill, the British wartime Prime Minister, "if it is in the right direction."

And that's the crucial question, isn't it. Without a crystal ball how can we ever be reasonably sure which direction is the best one for us to choose? There's a good answer!

You already know what you're meant to do with your life.

It's the single secret to happiness, success, luck, career, self confidence, self esteem, prosperity, good health, even to finding a soul mate. It's the big message I got from having my life crash and burn, ending up homeless, unemployed, penniless and friendless.

What I wish I knew then - what absolutely everyone on the planet should know - is that we all have a unique life purpose, a destiny, a hidden talent if you like, and it is within us waiting to be found (unless we're one of the few lucky ones who've found it already).

We tend to think of destiny as a script for our lives imposed upon us by some external force, God perhaps, over which we have no control.

I have a different view. "Destiny" is a gift we chose for ourselves before we were born - that's right - by our own soul. It's our whole purpose in life - or should be - and failure to find it leads to trouble and, to say the least, bad luck.

"Finding" our life purpose, or destiny, is really a misleading concept because it's not something we have to go out and "get," but rather it's something we need to go within and claim.

You've already got it, because you chose it - even if you haven't consciously realized it. Then you need a plan to bring it into reality - because we create our own reality with our thoughts, an idea recently made popular in The Secret which had everyone talking a few years ago.

Two of the key contributors to 'The Secret' went further. Jerry and Esther Hicks published a series of eye-opening channeled books based on a spiritual take on The Law of Attraction. And Bob Proctor went one better (11 better, actually!) and released his bestselling '11 Forgotten Laws'.

Now there's the new Cosmic Ordering craze: is it really possible to place an order with the Universe for whatever you want? I've found this truly life-changing stuff - literally!

What does science have to say on the matter?

In a 24,000 best seller published by Bob Proctor's organisation, Success Engeering, followed by Luck Engineering, - read about both here! - presented the cutting edge science and quantum physics behind how to literally engineer luck and good fortune into your life or business.

But how do we know what our true life purpose or destiny is when we see it?

In a survey conducted among creative people of all kinds, from science to art, to learn the cause of 'genius' (Uncommon Genius by Denise Shekerjian), most claimed that they followed their intuition, trusted their feelings, or as one respondent replied, "I just trust my beeps."

When I get an irritating feeling up my spine I now know it's not the right thing to do. For too long I ignored that irritating feeling, that unease. But a feeling of exhilaration means, go for it! Project your thoughts into the future and see how you feel.

"Your broader Non-Physical part of you communicates with you," wrote Jerry and Esther Hicks in 'The Law of Attraction', "and has done so from the day you emerged into this physical body. That communication comes in many varieties - but all of you are receiving the basic communication that comes forth, in the form of your emotion. Every emotion that you feel is, without exception, communication from your Inner Being letting you know, in the moment, the appropriateness of whatever you are thinking, speaking, or acting."

To pull all this together in a meaningful whole I recommend this comprehensive up-to-date resource as your definitive guide to undersanding, and implementing, what should really be called the Law of Thought, in your own life.

Your life purpose will ALWAYS utilize your greatest passions, talents and interests.

"Your brain is similar to an iceberg," says psychologist Valerie Dawson. "The 90% of the iceberg deep below the surface is where all the information is that you have been searching for - all the wisdom and the 'knowing' about what you were put on this Earth to do is right there! Inside this part deep within are all the keys to your success, happiness, and abundant life!"

Your life's purpose is already within you!

The Greek philosopher Plato knew this when he wrote in his best-known work the Republic. "Your destiny shall not be alloted to you, but you shall choose it for yourselves." He called it your career on Earth while author Caroline Myss (a guest on Oprah) calls it your mission. Napoleon Hill, in his famous bestseller Think & Grow Rich called the secret to all of life's riches our Definite Major Purpose. Of this he wrote:

"The secret to which I refer ... cannot be purchased for money, for the reason that it comes in two parts. One part is already in possession of those who are ready for it."

"Follow your bliss," said scholar, author and mythology expert Joseph Campbell, "and doors will open where you never knew they existed."

Or, trust your beeps!

I didn't. I had to lose everything before the doors started flying open for me. I don't want this to happen to you (if it does I've just told you what to do about it)!
