Worst Things for Your Back
Dear Friend,
This evening I went to a Mongolian restaurant with Master Zhang
(the brains behind our ever-popular Chinese Long-Life System.
)
Anyway, whilst ordering sliced lamb for the self-service "hot pot" - as
well as skewered lamb, the subject of "what else can we order?" arose.
I asked if they had broccoli or green beans, which are two of my
favorite foods.
"Mei you shu cai," was the reply, which means, "no vegetables."
I laughed.
Now get this: With the exception of some garlic cloves and a bit of
lettuce that are automatically thrown into the hot pot for added
flavor, there's nothing else to order except beer, wine and hard
booze like mao tai.
In an nutshell. all you could order was lamb - the staple of the Mongol
diet. In Mongolia itself, lamb is eaten along with other delectable foods
like horse, camel, and the milk and blood of each. Uggh - I can handle
the lamb but don't think I can go any further along the Mongol path, if
you follow my lead.
Now, if you told most people about the Mongol diet - they'd
quickly label it "Atkins" or some such thing, followed by, that
diet wil kill you inside of 30 or 40 years.
Yet consider this: The Mongolians live in one of the harshest climates
on earth. They are also poor, have unsanitary water in most rural places,
and work like mad-dogs to survive. Yet, with their so-called dangerous
diet, they live, on average, 64 years.
Before you go pointing the finger saying, "See, I told you so," - let
me point out that their average age would be much higher if it weren't for
the high infant mortality rate (afterall, how would you have liked to
be born into below freezing weather?) - as well as the large number of
early deaths via alcoholism. Many Mongols drink more hard-core booze
per day than we drink water.
According to Master Zhang, even so, Mongolia still has people living to 100
years and up - and again, this is without eating vegetables or fruit for an
entire lifetime.
Makes you wonder, huh?
I, myself, prefer a good amount of fruits and vegetables each
day. I don't like the "all meat" diet - although I will partake of it for
a meal or two as I find lamb to be a "power" food. At the same time
I'm slow to condemn the Mongol diet because it obviously works
for them. Last time I checked, they were still rugged as hell. And
how can you blame a society for not eating what they cannot grow?
About a month ago I had lunch with a friend in St. Petersburg,
Florida. While eating he told me that he had given up
eating meat because it (meat) "makes you more agressive."
I'm all for the diet my friend is on because he appears to be much
happier - and I believe happiness is a HUGE factor when it comes
to longevity.
I recall some years ago having a conversation with a vegetarian
named John, who said very much the same things as my good friend
about eating meat.
Only he took it to the "militant" level, recanting what he had read
in a number of health books. With great enthusiam he emphatically
stated, "Most crimes we see against humanity today are caused by
people who eat meat. Meat is to blame because it makes people
angry and more aggressive. If we want to end crime we need to
stop people from eating meat."
When I heard this I couldn't resist so I said, "You mean peaceful
like that vegetarian named Hitler?"
Moral of the story: There are many things you can do to improve your
health. Exercise is one. Improved nutrition is another.
Yet, in my estimation, neither of the above will work very well if you're
a miserable human being.
So make sure you follow an exercise program that you love and that
loves you back. The same goes with your diet. Follow what works
for you and gives you the results you truly desire. Just make sure
that happiness is one of them.
Last of all, make sure you check out all the presents I have for you,
even if you missed Christmas. I'm talking about getting Combat
Conditioning, Combat Abs and five of my other best-seller products
for nothing. Go here.
and see what I mean.
Kick butt - take names,
