Fountain of Youth

  Throughout history there have been a mystical location, where magical powers enable individuals to live forever and gain immortality. Kings have sent explorers around the world to gain gold, power, and health.  
  The fountain of youth is no longer a place explorers set out for in the name of their king and queen. We have become more self centered and now the fountain of youth has now become a foreign fruit full of antioxidants, high in carotenoids and beneficial to those suffering from depression, fatigue, exhaustion, wrinkles, or a lack of having your dreams come true. 
  Acai berries nor spinach will make you drop weight faster than eating cucumber or blueberries. They have different nutrient components, it's true, but they are still all good for you. When someone wants to know THE BEST fruit to eat, I tell them the one they like. If you don't like the food you eat you won't continue eating it. Now, there are differences between fruits and vegetables and certain medications interact with various vegetables (if you take these your doctor should have made you aware). 
   The bottom line is you will not continue to eat food you don't like no matter how healthy it is. We have become a society of martyrs and self mutilators. In order to be healthy we have to be at our "ideal" weight and in order to do that we have to eat food we don't like. One of the most pleasurable experiences in life comes from eating food.
  The fountain of youth is a mindset and the underlying desire for finding it is a fear of death.  There is nothing to fear about death. If we worry too much that prevents us from living the life we want and what is the point in living if we think about dying the whole time?  We need to find peace in ourselves, in whatever non-self mutilating way we can. You are amazing, you've lived however long you have and done with you life what you've been able to, now you're just going to make it better.
