As Young As He Feels! Mike's Story

I'm 65 and have never been overweight, but was diagnosed with high cholesterol when in my early 50s. My doctor put me on statins which lowered it to acceptable levels.

About 5 years ago I started to develop leg muscle pain and cramps. We decided to stop the statins to see what would happen and the pain and cramps stopped almost immediately.

I adopted a much healthier lifestyle to include improvements in my diet (less fat, increased my intake of organic leafy greens, more fruit, low fat yogurt, etc.) and regular vigorous exercise (jogging, hiking and backpacking, and some moderate weight training). My cholesterol quickly went to normal without the aid of statins; my mood is better than ever and I love my lifestyle and the food I eat more than ever because it's delicious and I feel energized after eating rather than drugged.

An Earth Fare moved into my neighborhood recently and it provides invaluable support for my chosen lifestyle. Life is good and I feel healthier and younger than I did at 60. Thank you Earth Fare!
