Three Score Years Plus Ten - What’s Wrong Here?

Written by Alex Marlin on January 7, 2008 – 12:59 am -


What is happening in the world today?

Are we not supposed to live until 70 years, there is something wrong with that biblical allotment. Many people today are not being granted the three score years plus ten. What do you think can be causing so many of our young folks to die at such a young age?

Is it stress, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diseases, over-eating, lack of exercise or the polluted environment we live in?

The factors can be many, but I know of some cases where you can blame the individual themselves. Many of you are putting your JOB or business up front and working yourself to death. For others you can see obesity as the main cause, your over-eating and causing all your organs to malfunction.

Diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and cardiac arrest are the biggest killers of todays society, and many of you are not taking these silent killers seriously. They creep into your life, unknowing and unwanted, but they do…

And do you know who is granting them access?

You my friend, your the one letting the enemy in, by not taking care of yourself and taking on too much stress, your giving them an open invitation. During stressful moments our immune system shuts down, and your like a sponge filled with holes, just dead meat for any type of virus. Try to control the amount of stress.

Another major cause is the lifestyle we are living, eating fast foods, not visiting the doctors on a regular basis, not getting enough sleep and drinking too much Alcohol and not enough water. As you grow older, what you could have done at a younger age isn’t possible anymore. Give up trying to be 21 when your 35, it’s not worth it. You have to adjust your schedule and the way you live.

Tip: This one goes out to our brothers in the world, guys it is OK to visit the Doctors, they were given the knowledge and put on earth to help us. Technology has improved so much that we can afford to live much longer lives, So why is this not the case? A simple fact that I have been noticing amidst many men is that they would have a pain and they would say to themselves it’s nothing and ignore it. Well, as I see it it’s those little pains that you kept ignoring for many years that has caused many of our younger folks to perish.

Just a couple days ago, I was visiting a friend, and he was complaining about a pain he was having. I asked him if he visited the Doctor, and his replied, not surprising at all, was he would do that next week. Do you understand what I am saying now. Next week never comes, and then your gone. Stop putting of that visit to your Doctor.

If your one of those who are too macho to go see a Doctor, then I would advise you to make an appointment to visit your Doctor tomorrow, no if, and buts, just put your ego in a bag and do just that, it will give you the rights to the three scores plus ten.

Taking care of your body should be your first challenge in life, if you fail that, then you know that you will live a suspended life, one that will end when your way too young.

Let us invest a little more time into our health and try to not leave our loved ones behind, while we still have the chance.
