What do Olive Oil, PepsiCo, McDonald’s, Omega 3’s, Free Radicals, Turmeric , Probiotics, Green Tea and healthy lifestyles have in common? Dean Ornish, of course!! Let’s reflect on his 30 years of research.
He is a long time advocate of lifestyle decisions affecting our physicial health. His first work was with cardiac patients. He discovered the importance of love, intimacy and social support to individual recovery. Now his work extends to telomerase activity stimulated by lifestyle choices, for living younger longer. He takes his message to the companies who have the greatest impact on consumers and helps them make better choices of products to market. Example: McDonald’s fruit and walnut salad.
We highly recommend reading professor Ornish’s book on Amazon!
“The Spectrum – A Scientifically Proven Program to Feel Better, Live Longer, Lose Weight and Gain Health”. In this book, which includes a guided meditation CD, he explains the scientific and practical backgrounds of the lifestyle program he has developed over the past decades. And he explains why fighting one disease via lifestyle will automatically boost your health and vitality overall. It is highly readable, very inspiring and well referenced!

Personalized medicine is the wave of the future. It’s available today when you become aware of the where you are on your personal path and where you would like to be.
Foods are neither good nor bad; but, some foods are more healthful for you than others. Your genes may be a predisposition towards certain conditions; but they are not your fate. Nutrigenomics- what you choose to eat and how you choose to live each day powerfully affects your health and well being, for better and for worse. Did you know that too much stress can cause problems within your body’s normal pathways of functioning which can have a dramatic effect on your physical and emotional health and your longevity? What can be done about stress? Proper nutrition, healthy activities, positive relationships, meditation, reducing financial fears with rainy day fund, staying connected with world events while filtering the negative news, and add a pet to your life. It is true, that pets predate parenting and findings that couples who have pets have a better chance of having a healthy relationship. Pets add a great deal of joy to your life because they are always there when you need them and their love is unconditional.
You have a spectrum of choices. Notice the “color” of your foods and “reflections” that your choices reveal in your life. What adds the spice of life without too much heartburn?
