I am so proud to announce that my Great Uncle Phillip Schaeffer along with my Great Aunt Gita Labrentz, Ph.D finished the revised edition of:
Living well beyond 80, 90, and 100 years.
I am simply fascinated with Phillip’s healthy lifestyle and warm personality. He is one of the kindest people I know – always smiling and happy; he gives the best hugs and always has something genuine to say! I've re-read this book many times and I love all the advice he gives about taking care of your body, mind and soul; it’s my go-to-book for tips on living a healthy, natural life. Phillip Schaeffer is a truly remarkable man with wonderful recommendations on how to promote longevity.
And as they say… “Behind every great man, there is a great woman” (love you too Aunt Gita)! You both did a fabulous job on
Codes for Longevity.
Here are a few of Phillip's sworn-by health tips that he has implemented into his daily life. Pick up a copy of your own HERE and read about many more lifestyle routines that will help improve the quality and length of your life.
-Take time to practice deep breathing exercises daily.
-Eating foods rich in anti-oxidant will counteract free radical damage.
-Embrace life with joy and enthusiasm. Positivity will help lengthen your life. Let go of stress (meditation, prayer, yoga)
[On a side note… I learned in a few bio-psych classes that your body will produce stress related hormones such as Cortisol and Catecholamine’s when you are worried, angry or frightened. A build up of stress hormones can lead to heart and cell damage in the body. You can literally make yourself sick from constant stress.]
-Get 8 hours of sleep
-Always stay connected to younger generations. Do not surround yourself with negativity or lazy spirits
-Keep up-to-date in everything you do…reading, technology, events, entertainment.
-Get involved in community activities; take up hobbies or college classes. Learning new things and helping others will ward-off depression.
-Laugh more and forgive freely, don’t hold grudges. You can alter your life by altering your attitude
-Use it or lose it! Increase your flexibility and mental activities (exercise, stretch, puzzles, math and music…)
-Multivitamins A 10,000IU, B complex 400mg, B6, C and E, pantothenic, zinc 50mg and selenium 400mg, D (1,000 IU) and multivitamins daily.
-Avoid refined foods and artificial sweeteners
-Eat Garlic = antibiotic cleansing agents
-Smile as much as possible
-Massage lymph nods often (neck, armpit etc.) they filter toxins and are sometimes concentrated and need to be massaged
-Avoid using household cleaners. Use natural products such as vodka or alcohol to clean.
- Drink 2 spoonfuls of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water 3 times daily (to alkalize the body). A body that is too acidic will lead to illness and disease.
-detoxify your liver and practice eye exercises to eliminate glasses.
