I don’t know about you but I want to live longer, live happier and healthier than my parents and their parents. I know the world is full of dangerous, toxic things but that doesn’t mean it’s hopeless. Nope. In fact there are all kinds of things you can do to avoid illness and even stave off the threat of cancer.
Research has clearly show that staying active through exercise is the key to living longer. it’s not like you have to do a major workout every single day or anything, just keep your body moving and get some good clean fresh air. You will feel better, guaranteed.
There was a Japanese study done with almost 80,000 adults, and in this report the researchers found that active women were 16 percent less likely to develop cancer–and this is any kind of cancer– over a period of 5 to 10 years. Males on the other hand lowered their risk of getting cancer by approximately 13 percent.
One of the most relaxing, yet healthy hobbies is gardening. By nurturing your green thumb you will be able to nourish not just the body but the soul as well.
There is a book that I recommend to everyone I know called The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest. It’s written by Dan Buettner and he says about spending time working in the garden: “It’s a source of daily physical activity that exercises the body with a wide range of motion and helps reduce stress”
Take a little time, plant a garden, whether you choose veggies, berries or colorful flowers, it doesn’t matter.
Buettner make some great points in his book, such as:
* Free built in food: If you choose to grow vegetables you will be able to reap the benefits in terms of healthy eating as well. Grow Organic and you’ll know that your home grown foods are not poisoned with toxic fertilizers or polished to a hardwood floor shine with disgusting body clogging waxes. You (and your family) can lose weight and feel better all around when you grow your own food.
* Sunlight and Vitamin D: When you spend time outdoors on a sunny day, whether you are gardening or hiking, your body is producing Vitamin D. This happens when you are exposed to sunlight and it’s a powerful vitamin. It affects everything from the strength of your bones to your mood. It is great for helping the body to fight cancer as well.
* Consider growing some spices: Mugwort, ginger, and turmeric are big parts of Japanese gardens and foods. They are all great for helping you live longer and they have proven medicinal qualities.
Being healthy and able to enjoy life to the fullest is the best thing you can do for both you and your family. Get outdoors and get active, even if it’s mild exercise it is going to help your body improve literally everything about yourself both inside and out.

Mostly we go with the same colors, but instead of ribbons, the different colors are applied to collars, bowls, leashes, etc.
Lavender is widely used for the color of pet cancers.

Yes, that is nice. I think the healthier you get with what you eat and your activities and the environment, each helps you with the other. It makes a kind of cycle of organic, holistic goodness that improves life – The art of living.
Herbs and spices are a great thing to have in your garden.
