The high fiber diet is a back-to-the-basics diet very similar to the plant-based diets of our ancestors which can be traced to the beginning of time. During the very early period in the history of man, people ate a lot of fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grain products everyday. With the...more

As people get older many believe it is a time to slow down and take it easy. They feel they have earned the right after spending forty or more years in the work force. It was different for our ancestors who every day had to perform hard manual labor to be productive, often farming the land or other hard physical tasks. A 'retirement' period of rest was encouraged as one got older and was considered a fair reward for this hard work. This old fashioned belief still carries on today even though we not longer do any 'hard work'. Our modern day lives have had every bit of physical activity stripped from them to make our lives comfortable and convenient. The idea of 20 or more years of 'taking it easy' is a very dangerous one as rest is the last thing the aging human body needs.Without the stimulation of vigorous activity our body has no way of remaining healthy as it is this movement that triggers the release of 'growth and repair' hormones that renew, and replace old and worn out cells and tissues rather than letting them decay and grow prematurely old. If we sit around and fail to exert ourselves we are buying a one way ticket into the 'disability zone'. This is a period toward the...more
