Book Cover & Preview Text
The will to live can be very powerful. The appreciation for life with the desire and will to live was innate with man in his creation.
Throughout the ages there have been countless stories of individuals who have been caught-up in death defying circumstances and have survived against overwhelming odds. The only explanation for their survival is that the will to live kept them going. Such are the stories of some biblical heroes; of American pioneers like the seven Sager children who pushed on alone to Oregon after their parents died along the way. of Corrie ten Boom who survived the German holocost and men like Jake DeShazer who survived as a Japanese prisoner of war during World War II... The will to live exists to give each one of us hope to survive the circumstances of our lives. With faith in God we know with all of our being that God will make a way. Every bit of our energy is applied to hold onto life.
Our studies have revealed that those who most succeed in living long and liking it are endued within to seek the ultimate, deepest, most spiritually rewarding things in life. They succeed in their inner being to be all that the creator created them to be...
To have the will to live means that we must focus on life rather than death. To focus on death is to engender a spirit of fear. Such fear places a negative stress upon an individual's life that is defeating. Faith in the future casts out all fear and focuses positive energy toward achieving the "desires of the heart" (Psalm 37:4)...

Should you be one who chooses to believe the premise made herein you are on solid ground whether or not the premise is true.

Conclusion:
The purpose of this book has been to present our research on the various aspects of life that contribute to living long and living well. As you have seen The Longevity Diet involves much more than the food that you eat. Indeed, life is much more than food and living well involves much more than a luxury home of vehicle. For some people living long is largely a matter of inheriting the right genes. But, as we have shown, a person can enhance the quantity and quality of one's life by adopting the lifestyle we have presented herein. Living well greatly improves upon the prospect of a long life.
While we have sought to show the physical aspects that contribute to a long healthy life, and the dietary means of sustaining a healthy body, we have moreover, sought to reveal the significance of an individual's philosophy of life, faith, and also the social and emotional aspects that contribute to the wholeness and wholesomeness of life. As has been indicated, if there is any one aspect of a person's life that is most important, it would have to be spirituality, for it best encompasses the essential part of life from conception throughout the years of life until the person passes from this world. As an individual who values life gives serious attention to the spiritual aspect of life, considering one's body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, while using this book as a guide, all the other aspects of nourishing the body and engendering life will tend to be drawn together to create wholeness of life. This, in turn, will add length of days to a person's lifetime.

From learning how to naturally cure his ailments, he went on to learn about miraculous healing panaceas and how to prevent health care problems, all while staying healthy. This involved him in the study of nutrition which led to developing The Longevity Diet. As a result of his studies he is now much lighter and healthier than he was in mid-life.
