The Longevity Plan

 The Longevity Plan: Seven Life-Transforming Lessons from Ancient China. By John D. Day, M.D., Jane Ann Day, and Matthew LaPlante. Harvard Paperbacks, 2018, 304 pages. VSCL.  

The Seven Lessons are:
1. Eat good food.
2. Master your mind-set.
3. Build your place in a positive community.
4. Be in motion.
5. Find your rhythm.
6. Make the most of your environment.
7. Proceed with purpose. 

Dr. Day, a cardiologist and electrophysiologist from Utah, stayed and studied at the Longevity Center in Bapan, CR China.  He has thoroughly researched the topic and tells us how he applied to his own life.

Taoist Monk Yun Rou (Soft Cloud), AKA Arthur Rosenthal

 Arthur Rosenthal, Taoist Monk Yun Rou (Soft Cloud), is a Tai Chi and Taoist Master teacher, author, and television personality at Tai Chi for Longevity.

"I work to bring harmony and balance to my community and the world. I believe we must evolve rapidly to help all sentient beings survive and thrive.

Daoist teachings and practices offer a uniquely effective, powerful and effortless path through life.

Love, wisdom, charity, and insight arise in the individual and spread outward to the community, country, and world.

An enlightened mind requires a foundation in a strong, healthy body.

A plant based (vegan) diet is a gift to our own health as well as millions of tortured animals and a warming world.  

Discrimination based on race, gender identity, religious beliefs, or sexual preference is a cancer best cut from society.

Always do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.

The morally bankrupt destruction of the natural world doom sentences us all to a life of disconnection and suffering.

Acting with compassion, frugality, and humility benefits the world and gives us each an all-important sense of purpose.

A regard for all sentient beings, health, justice, and spiritually must replace speed-and-greed materialism.

In engaging virtual worlds over the real one, we become less human and loose the life we evolved to life.

Films about Vegetarianism

Karen and I have recently watched a number of "documentary" films on Netflix dealing with the impact of excessive meat eating on individuals, communities, and our environment.  Also, we have read a number of books on the subject.  In addition, my cardiologist recommends a change in my own eating habits.
