Like all of his books, Healthy at 100 is a well-researched masterpiece that will have a prominent place in my personal library for the rest of my life.  And this Christmas, I plan to send a copy of it to all of my loved ones... </I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>Quote by John Robbins </B></I></div> <bR> <div> “The choices that we make today as to the way we treat each other, the way we raise our children, the kinds of families and communities we create, will determine how the future unfolds. If we treat each other one way, we can cultivate people driven by a death urge, who are despondent and mean. If we treat each other another way, if we encourage and uphold our essential goodness and capacity for loving connection, we can nurture a society of people who are healthy and whole and whose lives will bring healing, peace, and joy to those they touch. </div> <bR> <div> I believe that the real news on this planet is love—why it exists, where it came from, and where it is going. I believe that ultimately it is the love in our lives that underlies and makes possible our greatest healing and longevity. </div> <bR> <div> Whether we acknowledge it or not, we all have a choice to be either accomplices in the status quo or everyday revolutionaries. We have a choice whether to succumb to the cultural trance, eat fast food, and race by each other in the night, or to build lives of caring, substance, and healing. So much depends on that choice.”</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>About The Book </B></I></div> <bR> <div> Why do some people age in failing health and sadness while others grow old with vitality and joy?</div> <bR> <div> In this revolutionary new book, bestselling author John Robbins presents us with a bold new paradigm of aging, showing us how we can increase not only our life span but also our health span. Through the example of four very different cultures that have the distinction of producing some of the world’s healthiest, oldest people, Robbins reveals the secrets for living an extended and fulfilling life in which our later years become a period of wisdom, vitality, and happiness. From Abkhasia in the Caucasus south of Russia, where age is beauty, and Vilcabamba in the Andes of South America, where laughter is the greatest medicine, to Hunza in Central Asia, where dance is ageless, and finally the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa, the modern Shangri-la, where people regularly live beyond a century, Robbins examines how the unique lifestyles of these peoples can influence and improve our own.</div> <bR> <div> Bringing the traditions of these ancient and vibrantly healthy cultures together with the latest breakthroughs in medical science, Robbins reveals that, remarkably, they both point in the same direction. The result is an inspirational synthesis of years of research into healthy aging in which Robbins has isolated the characteristics that will enable us to live long — and most important — joyous lives. With an emphasis on simple, wholesome, but satisfying fare, and the addition of a manageable daily exercise routine, many people can experience great improvement in the quality of their lives now and for many years to come. But perhaps more surprising is Robbins’ discovery that it is not diet and exercise alone that help people to live well past one hundred. The quality of personal relationships is enormously important. With startling medical evidence about the effects of our interactions with others, Robbins asserts that loneliness has more impact on life-span than such known vices as smoking. There is clearly a strong beneficial power to love and connection. After reading this book, we will never think about age — or life — in the same way again.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> See the BOOKS section above for link to John Robbins' website</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B>Eating for Health and Ecology on Planet Earth</B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
