A close friend once said, “To be human, is to have ailments.” This wasn’t meant to be a depressing statement, but rather a simple reminder that the human body has a tendency to break down over time. Some of us don’t give the matter much thought, choosing to live a life of indulgence, only to live out our later years paying the price. Many others spend considerable effort attempting to mitigate the process by eating only organic foods, consuming the latest supplements or adopting very strict diets.
In this fascinating video, Dr. Mike Evans, founder of the Health Design Lab at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, an Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of Toronto, and a staff physician at St. Michael’s Hospital, reveals one simple habit that can produce the most positive effect on our health.
