Definitions • Alternative medicine – instead of the usual orthodox or western use of drugs and surgery, this practice uses other and more natural and organic means to bring about good health and longevity. • Preventive medicine – medical practice that focuses on keeping a person healthy and free of disease. • Executive check-up?

more • Aging and Anti-aging • Aging is not normal; it is a disease that results from destructive biological processes in the cellular level that develops into many different syndromes and manifest as disease. • Free radicals • Life span vs. life expectancy

Life Expectancy • Japan #1 – 83.10 years • USA #36 – 78.74 years • Philippines #100 – 68 for men; 74 women • Swaziland – last #223 – 39.6 years • World’s – 71 years • All these are premature deaths

Premature death • Any death before the age of 120 is a premature death. • Two reasons why this happens • 1. Lack of knowledge • 2. Disobedience

ACRONYMS • L-O-N-G-E-V-I-T-Y – the key to long life. • I-D-E-A – shorter version

I-D-E-A • I- Inflammation • D- Diet • E – Exercise • A - Attitude

I-Inflammation • Pollution – air, water, food – 50% of all diseases due to pollution inside home. • Stress -65-85% of all diseases directly or indirectly related to stress • Hormones – cause of many diseases esp. Menopause and Erectile Dysfunction

D- DIET • Diet should be 50-25-25 or 50% carbohydrates; 25% protein and 25% fats • Normal Calorie intake for a Filipino: • Male – 2100 calories • Female – 1900 calories • Generally speaking, Filipino diet is unhealthy

Anti-aging Diet • Eliminate processed foods. Reduce calories • 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables with loads of fibers and anti-oxidants. • Beans 3-5 X a week. Phytoestrogens lower risk of breast and prostate cancers. • Small, frequent meals lower incidence of heart attack, hypertension, diabetes and obesity.

Food stuffs we should watch out for • Salt – needs 220 mg for survival. • Sea salt is better especially for HBP • White foods like rice, bread, potato or pasta you should limit or refrain from

On the other hand, coffee can prevent 1. Type 2 diabetes 2. Parkinson’s 3. Colorectal Ca 4. Gallstones 5. Cirrhosis

Other bad foods • Flame-broiled meats – because of polycyclic aromatic hydrocardon, carcinogenic. • Over cooked starchy foods – french fries, potato chips – acrylamide, carcinogen. • Transfat in cookies. Etc.

A - Attitude • 3 Kinds of Attitude • 1. Positive • 2. Negative • 3. No attitude

Negative and no attitude • Negative attitude – these are the people who complain a lot, they are suspicious, pessimistic, skeptical and cynical. They talk about their dreams but don’t do anything. • No attitude – the people who have no dreams; they are resigned to whatever come their way; apathetic, they do the same things everyday like a robot.

Positive attitude • They comprise about 3-5% of population. • They dream and are proactive. • William James said they can change their lives by the way they think. • Marcus Aurelius – you become what you think about. • Proverbs 23:7 – as a man thinks in his heart so is he.

Positive people • Don’t get sick too often; when they do, they have no complications and they get better quicker. • This is what you should have if you want to prevent disease in your body.
