Summary: ----------------------------------------------------<br> ♦ Reflections on my Discussion with Dr. T. Colin Campbell ♦<br> ----------------------------------------------------<br> Scott makes some high-level observations about health, longevity and integrity following his interview with Dr. Thomas Colin Campbell.<br> <br> ♦♦ Live until you die. ♦♦<br> <br> • If you’re in your 40s or 50s, it’s never too early to think about the quality of your life moving forward.<br> <br> • Surviving isn’t the same thing as thriving. Add life to years, not years to life.<br> <br> • Dr. Campbell is finishing another book at age 84. Many people at that age are retired and suffering health problems.<br> <br> • Scott’s dad lived until he was 87 but had a litany of health issues that began around his 50s. He ate a typical American diet, where the plate was several shades of beige and few bright colors (i.e., fruits and vegetables.)<br> <br> • Dr. Campbell said during the interview that he takes no meds or supplements. He demonstrates the benefits of a whole food plant-based lifestyle.<br> <br> • If carbs are so bad for us, why is Dr. Campbell so healthy?<br> <br> • Ellsworth Wareham, cardiothoracic surgeon, worked into his 90s and lived until he was 104. He attributed his longevity to a plant-based diet.<br> <br> • Long-term health benefits should accompany weight loss [meaning weight loss should be accomplished in a healthy way.]<br> <br> • Dr. Campbell followed where the research led him, an example of integrity.<br> <br> • “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” –Andy Dufresne, The Shawshank Redemption<br> <br> **Want to learn more about a whole food plant-based diet?
