| Nine out of ten deaths in America are caused by people killingthemselves. The other cause of death is suicide. Yes, I m exaggeratingEbut only a little. Fact is, many people inthe United States do kill themselves. They don t use six-guns, theyuse six-packs. They don t drown in rivers, they drown in fat. Theydon t take a sleeping pill, they take a puff. Here s how the scientistsput it: "Nine of the ten leading causes of [early death[ in the UnitedStates are linked to one or more of six behaviors: cigarette smoking,misuse of alcohol, lack of exercise, not wearing seat belts, overeat-ing, and failure to control high blood pressure." That quote is from a report in the New York State Journal of Med-icine. It s one of the many medical reports we used in writing Life-Span-PlusEreports that started appearing a few years back and gaveus the idea for this book. They show--remarkably--that you havethe power to extend your life. All you have to do is emphasize spe-cific healthy actions and reduce or eliminate unhealthy ones. And LifeSpan-Plus is perhaps the best tool ever produced to helpyou do just that. |
