Other Ways
to Lose Health Chips:
- If we do
not eat enough foods containing critical micronutrients we leak
another 1,000 to 3,000 chips per day (fruits and vegetables).
- If we eat
a diet high in saturated fat, sugar, charred foods, low fiber,
and skip breakfast we leak another 1,000 to 3,000 chips per day.
- If we don't
exercise at all we leak 3,000 chips per day.
- If we are
exposed to too much sun we leak 1,000 per day.
- If we inhale
or take in smog, pesticides, food additives etc. we may leak up
to 10,000 chips per day.
- If we have
a mild illness we leak 5,000 and a serious illness up to 100,000
chips.
- If we smoke
a pack a day we leak 10,000 chips per day. After 40 years this
totals 150,000,000 chips!
Some
activities make us leak all our
chips at once! (accidents)
Stress and
depression may cause significant leaks.
At slightly
over 60 years:
| Daily

22,000,000 |
| Deficient

22,000,000 |
| Bad dietary

67,000,000 |
| No exercise |

| Too much

If one started
with only 200 million chips, life would be over at this point.
Added to this
might be:
| Smoking
40 years |
150,000,000 |
| Toxic
exposures |
150,000,000 |
| ADDITIONAL
LOSS |
300,000,000 |
From this you
can see how easy it is to become "chip deficient". We all know people
who abused themselves squandering their chips over 70 or 80 years
yet still are in vigorous health. They are the ones who started
with the largest buckets of chips. Many more, however, behaving
similarly have died or become disabled prematurely. We do not
know how many chips we started with or how many are left.
All buckets
leak. Many of the leaks can be repaired or at least made smaller.
Repairing or improving leaks is important at any stage of life.
Using this
crude format you can see that many people run out of chips fairly
early in life. Others subject themselves to risks that are not necessary
and they make no attempt to minimize the effects of aging.
We care for
expensive equipment extremely carefully. When we buy a new car we
realize that it starts aging immediately. Even a new car, that is
never used, has aging changes in its metal and synthetic parts.
It would be remarkable if after 50 years a never used car would
even start! We know to use the recommended oil change and gas octane
to maximize the lifetime of a car.
Yet we tend
to neglect the proper care and feeding of our bodies!!
