What is interesting about goals is that people will often set goals for themselves in the areas of money, career, weight, personal development, houses, cars and clothes. But people very seldom set goals for exactly how long they want to live and what standard of health they want to enjoy throughout their lives. They sort of take the whole issue of health and longevity for granted. Nonetheless, when you think about it, it doesn’t matter if you accomplish everything you could dream of in the material world then die years younger than you really should. The good news is that most of the life threatening diseases that kept the average lifespan to 52 years as recently as the year 1900, have been eliminated or brought under control. Today longevity is very much a matter of choice. How long you live is largely up to you. Barring some unforeseen circumstances or medical problems, you can decide today to live a long and healthy life. There are tens of thousands of men and women today who have passed the magic 100 year mark and their number is growing at an incredible rate. You should resolve to be one of them. According to the insurance companies, your life expectancy is two thirds of the distance between your current age and the number 100. This means that if you are 40 years old today, two thirds of the distance between your current age and 100 is 40 additional years. Your life expectancy would then be 80 years of age. Your goal must be to at least meet if not beat the averages. As it happens, very few people are well informed about health, nutrition, stress management and long life. Even though the books, magazines and newspapers are full of articles on the subject, only a small number of people keep up to date with what is happening with health and nutrition. The greatest breakthroughs in all of medical history have taken place in the last few decades in our understanding of how your system works and how you can operate your mind and body so that it performs like a well oiled machine, decade after decade. What are your personal health goals?
