Ralph Zuranski: Well, do you have some good resources on www.MaxLife.org that young people can access?
Dave Kekich: For the young people, the best thing they can enact on there is SALADS™. And SALADS™ is the report I mentioned to you. It is an acronym, by the way. It stands for things you need to do in your life, and it doesn't stand for the things you find in salad bars. But part of that is about salads, the D is for diet, and the S is for supplements, and the other S is for stress--stress reduction, for example.
But they can go to www.MaxLife.org, and there are three icons in the middle of the home page. Just click on the one in the middle that says, "How to Live to 120 and Still Remember Where You Left Your Car Keys." That will take you to some pages that will give you some resources.
Right at the bottom of that page, just click on SALADS™, and that will take you to a downloadable version. Now children are probably not going to pay as much attention to that as adults would, because we all kind of feel like we are immortal when we are young.
We all kind of feel like we know it all, and we can get away with a lot of things, physically, that we can’t get away with when we are older. We can get away with a bad diet, although kids are getting much better now, and they are actually seeing Type II Diabetics, millions of cases in children, where you never saw that--you just never saw that 20, 30, 40 years ago.
Now it is rampant. But they still get away with it. I mean, they can get away with lack of exercise more than adults do. The older you get, the harder it is to do some of these things, or at least you think it is harder. It really isn't. But we actually need these things more as we get older.
We need to exercise more, and the older we get, the more we need it, not that we need to get more and more and more as we get older, but the more we need it, because we start to break down. When you are young, your body is pretty forgiving, and it can take a little abuse.
However, if your goal is to live a long time, and feel good and look good, then the earlier you start in life, the more these things are going to help you. Teaching children that is the challenge and it is up to the parents.
