The matte shades are few and far between (with Beige being the closest to true matte), but if shiny eyeshadows are what you want and the price doesn't faze you, this is highly recommended based on its application and longevity. Avoid the green-tinged Bambou, and Amethyst (which is too purple) unless you're wearing eyeshadow for shock value. © $$$ Quadra Eyeshadow ($55) has been the backbone of Chanel's eyeshadow collection for years, and they have maintained its enviably silky, utterly blendable texture and wonderfully even applicarion. |

While science holds the keys, only you have the power to unlock your potential longevity.
After all, aging may be inevitable, but the rate of aging is certainly not.
Your Pody, Your City
Perhaps the best way to explain the dynamics of aging is to take a look at another complex system that's subjected to the same forces as your body: a city. Some cities remain beautiful and elegant in their old age (think of old but elegant European cities like London), while others that may not even be so old look worn down, beat up, and in need of an urban ICU. |

The most dramatic improvements in longevity over the last couple of hundred years have been through public health, not through medicine," he says. "But public health is notoriously unprofitable. People don't make a profit preventing disease. They make a profit through medicine—treating critical, advanced stages of disease."12
Is There a Healthy Level of Homocysteine?
Unlike cholesterol, which the body needs for the production of certain cell parts and hormones, homocysteine provides no health benefit. The higher the level of homocysteine, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease. |

Why would she? Her longevity genes are activated, preserving her from harm. Rather than being in survival mode, she exists in what I call "perfect efficiency," which is what I hope to attain-and the same goal I have for you. Live long and prosper, Michelle.
Is this you more like you? You weigh more than you did in high school. Perhaps a lot more. You pop one or more daily pills for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, acid reflux, depression, and/or arthritis. |
| Chronic exposure to lots of plant compounds also appears to produce a low level of toxemia that actually activates an individual's longevity genes. What I'm suggesting is that many vegetables are "good" for you because they're "bad" for you! You will learn how to harness the power of this exciting discovery, called hormesis, in Phase 3 of Diet Evolution.
THE VEGETABLES VS. MEAT CONTROVERSY
In societies where children consume large amounts of vegetables, they tend to be shorter in stature as adults and begin reproducing later in life than those who don't rely as much on vegetables. |

In order for rejuvenation and longevity to manifest in a body, above all, there must be an increase in biophoton emissions. In other words, there must be an increase in the brightness of the telomeres (chromosomal tips). Without these biophoton emissions, any product or supplement is useless, because it requires life to regenerate and sustain life. Love is all there is. Life is love in action.
Collecting Primal Energy
Certain primary source (unrefined) minerals, especially quartz crystals, are natural concentrators of the primal ullf (biophotons). |
| Richard Weindruch suggests that a balanced, calorie-restricted diet should do wonders for the health and longevity of humans.3 His comments are based on studies which showed that by restricting their diets, the lifespans of fish, insects, and rodents increased by 40% and more. In a study with monkeys, several measures of health such as percentage of body fat, blood pressure, and glucose, insulin, and triglyceride levels were improved by caloric restriction.
A good objective for us to work toward is to leave the stomach 20% empty at each meal. |
| Energy, strength, health, and longevity are directly proportional to enzyme resources.23 Every enzyme we consume in food or in supplement form means one less enzyme the body must deplete from its resources.
The Main Digestive Enzymes
There are four main kinds of digestive enzymes—amylase, lipase, protease, and cellulase. The body is able to manufacture the first three of these in the pancreas. But, there is a catch; pancreatic enzymes only work in the small intestine, which is alkaline, and not in the stomach, which is acid. They work in a pH range of 7.8-8.3. |
| Walker and Bragg, mentioned at the beginning of this book, experienced a similar pattern of healthy longevity.
What are these people doing that is different? The answers are found in their lifestyles of eating raw and unprocessed foods, drinking good water, getting regular exercise through their work, living in a clean air environment, being exposed to moderate amounts of sunshine, getting adequate rest, and maintaining positive life attitudes.
What Is a Long Life?
Humans are capable of living to between 120 and 170 years. |

However, it is a widely held belief by naturopaths, nutritionists and dietitians that a high proportion of people today are in fact suffering from deficiencies of one kind or another and that this is possibly the greatest threat we face to our health and longevity.
Many people still believe that eating a well-balanced diet will provide all the vitamins, minerals and enzymes necessary for good health. In ideal circumstances this is the case, but in reality a well-balanced diet is usually found in books and rarely on the table. |

Finally, it's an excellent general program to slow signs of aging and promote longevity. Many things that help the brain to regenerate also help the rest of the body to restore itself.
My program may sound almost magical, but it's not. It's just good science and good sense. The magic lies within my patients. The healing ability of their bodies and brains is nothing short of miraculous.
By the time I got back to my office after my short break, my next patient was waiting. One look told me she would be a tough case. |

Even after adjusting the statistics to account for factors that could affect health—such as access to medical care, smoking, genetic differences, and pollution—Asian countries still rank high in worldwide comparisons of longevity and health.
The Asian secret to a longer, healthier life appears to lie in dietary choices. Asian diets are well-known for what they don't contain: they are low in fat, meat, refined grains, and sugar. |

• Enhances immune function.
• Aids digestion.
• Prevents dental cavities and gingivitis. against developing cancer. Animal studies have indicated that green tea extract protects against both the initiation and promotion stages of cancer. "The inhibitory activity is believed to be mainly due to the antioxidative properties and possible antiproliferative effects of polyphenolic compounds in green and black tea," said researchers in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. |
| Father Matteo Ricci, who became the scientific adviser to the Chinese court, wrote in the early 1600s that he believed tea drinking was the basis of Chinese longevity.
In 1606, the Dutch East India Company imported the first shipments of tea from China. The trading company acquired three measures of tea for each measure of sage exchanged. The crews of the trading ships of that era had a hard life. Three out of four sailors never made it back home, mostly as a result of scurvy and infectious diseases. |

I just call this "Mother Nature's Miracle Healing Drink" for longevity, health and happiness. It's simply the most compact form of nutrition straight from Mother Nature. Note, too, that you can't buy it. You have to make it yourself, in your own kitchen, on a regular basis to drink in fresh. (I make mine once a day and store it in glass jars.)

The second school sees the pharmaceutical industry and drug technology as the keys to improved quality of life and longevity. The third school of thought, which has been growing at phenomenal rates, realizes that the other two views have some basis in truth, but sees the need for constant questioning, due diligence, information gathering and natural alternatives whenever possible in the quest for optimal health. To the third group, gone are the days of blindly following whatever your physician or pharmacist recommends. |

Let's set aside the quality of life for a moment (as do many research studies on longevity) and consider how the U.S. compares with all the other industrialized nations in the world when it comes to life expectancy and health care. One of the primary ways to evaluate a nation s health-care system is to look at the death rate of that country.
In 1950 the United States ranked seventh among the top twenty-one industrialized nations in the world when it came to life expectancy. As you might imagine, we have spent far more money on health care since that time than any other country in the world. |

The mixes include names like Meditation Munchies Hunza longevity Mix and Kieba's Island Fruit Leather Mix with Empowered Chocolate, among other interesting names.
These mixes were wonderful, but they did suffer from a melting problem (see my "melting" notes below). I liked the basic chocolate bars better. It's also worth noting that these mixes are not sugared-up to taste like the super sweet, sour or salty nut mixes you might find at common grocery stores. To appreciate the taste of these mixes, it's best to be off all the extreme synthetic chemical tastes found in American foods. |

Their future is also clear: Exceptional mental performance, freedom from chronic pain, excellent vitality and longevity, spiritual awareness, abundant living and much more.
Which group do you want to belong to?
You make that decision every time you shop for food. When you buy processed meats, you put yourself on a timeline track towards disease, suffering and medical victimization. But when you avoid meat products and focus on a plant-based diet, you are creating a future filled of abundance and health. It's up to you to decide which of these futures you'd rather create. |

In fact, your longevity stands in their way. So sit back, open your mind, and be willing to suspend everything you've ever known about yourself. But first let's get down to basics.
GENES AS MICROCOMPUTERS
I've found that it helps to think of genes as tiny computer programs. On your computer, the letter A, for example, is "coded" as 1000001. Whenever I strike A on the keyboard, this code of o's and l's tells my computer to make an A appear on the screen. Think of your body as a computer and your genes as its operating system. |

Roy Walford, the longevity researcher who headed up the project, died recently from Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). One cause of ALS is heavy metal poisoning. I'm worried about all those gastric bypass patients who lose 150 pounds in six months. I'd like them to let me know how they're doing twenty to thirty years from now.
So how fast is too fast? Working with the results of the Biospherians, Dr. Walford and his colleagues calculated that a rate of 50 pounds lost per year would allow heavy metals to be safely flushed from the body. |
