The world is presented with a new guaranteed anti-aging program every day. This is to be expected as it simply adds to the confusion and uncertainty surrounding the original list of requirements for a strong, healthy life.

These are very simple, available to everyone, work far better than any single or combined diet, tonic or program and fulfill the promise of the better end regardless of any earlier confusion.

They go something like this - Recognize God as the Creator of the Universe, give Him daily praise, prayer and thanksgiving.

Be mindful of what goes into your head and heart through friends, films and features whilst being equally careful what comes out during general dialogue as well as specific instruction.

Put time and effort into the assigned skill, gift or task and allow this to grow and be nurtured like a unique plant.

Finally what often have been promoted to be of primary importance belong at the bottom of the scale - these are the roles of diet and exercise.

Choose food from the array around but being careful to only eat those products to which you know the contents and remain as close as possible to their original creation in preparation.

A knowledge and respect for His marvellous creation should guide on amount, content and timing of every meal.

Accompanied with this must come an exercise program that meets and suits the needs of the body.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the daily walk provided its done with enthusiasm, suitable distance and at a regular assigned hour.
