The doctor in the video, Dr.Ellsworth Wareham, maintained an active lifestyle up to the ripe age of 104 years.
This video was taken when he was 103 years. He cuts his lawn, drives his car, goes walking, and even climbs stairs with little help. The secret to his vibrant health is a plant-based diet and exercise. He performed heart surgery until he was 95 years old. He is talking to people about preventive medicine for a healthy lifestyle.
He says that his memory is as good as he was when he was twenty. We hear from many centenarians that what they eat and what they actively do have contributed to their longevity.
People who are active in their chosen field of work, passionate about what they do, keep their minds and bodies busy- indirectly flex their minds, muscles, and bodies. However, following a regular exercise routine strengthens muscles, maintains bone density, improves body mobility, and regulates blood circulation. Learning a new hobby that stimulates our brain is as important as learning to drive or swim.
Statistics show that people living in countries like Japan, certain parts of Greece, Italy, and South American countries live longer.

When we buy new cars, the car dealer gives a log book with dates for the service maintenance. On average, they expect the owner to travel a specific distance within a certain period. The car dealer also states that if the car reaches the meter reading before the particular time limit for service, it is advisable to service it when it runs the distance. For example, he may say the car is due for service within in next six months, or the vehicle reaches 50 thousand kilometers. If that car gets 50 thousand kilometers in the next three months, the owner will not wait until six months for service; he would take the vehicle for service after three months.
Our body is a vehicle that we use to gear through our life-cycle. Human beings have an average life expectancy between 80 to 100 years, depending on their lifestyle. We think that our heart is the engine of our body and the air, the fuel. The liver is the gateway to the body and if the gateway is blocked everything, fails. The creator has created Live-r for a person to live a healthy life. We ignore the liver as we are ignorant of the vital function of the liver.
In her book “The Liver Cleansing Diet,” Dr. Sandra Cabot says that she has discovered from various patient testimonials that many diseases can be cured by simply cleansing the liver. It is like servicing your body. One cannot be healthy without a healthy liver, and most people never give their liver a second thought.

The lifestyle in modern society is a rat race. People consume highly processed and saturated fats from fast-food chains, fish & chips shops, and unhealthy eateries. We need to stop and think; Are we going to clog our vehicle body with unhealthy eating habits and stop the engine?
