Overindulgence and Obsession - The Most Common Chronic Killers of Life

Overindulgence and Obsession - The Commonest Chronic Killers of Life       

(James) Chin-Ti Lin, MD

Illnesses shorten life. So they are life killers. This understanding has spawned numerous and endless researches and developments in drugs and in procedures hoping to cure illnesses once for all. But it's impossible.

Such ambition and pursuit have delighted millions and millions of minds to chase fame and money, but inadvertently picked many unguarded people's pockets, heightened healthcare dollars, and even nearly wrecked the economy with a skyrocketing cost and its unbearable burden.

Then, what cause illnesses to happen?

Of no doubt, the chief culprit is poor personal lifestyle, which is under the siege and ravage of overindulgence and obsession, and identified as the most common chronic life killers, but yet least mentioned among our daily conversation.

Why? That is what I would like to explore and share with you, and see what you may think.

To check out if my suspicion on overindulgence and obsession as the true culprits for poor health is true and fact or just false and imagination, at 8:10 AM of January 26, 2014, I entered the following key words through FireFox Search Engine, the search results are staggering as follows:
=================================================================================================

To doubly check personal and professional sanity on the issues, at 9:06 AM of January 26, 2014, I searched through www.medscape.com with the following key words, from which I got the results as follows: ==================================================================================================

Based the above research results, how can I ignore them?

Should I just succumb to the ongoing brutality of political correctness and commercialism by ignoring the facts, deafen ears, mute voice, shut mouth, blind conscience, and trash the truth and facts of life and medicine all together or ... ?

So, I openly seek the participation from all willing souls to address the important issues of healthy lifestyle not only as the very core foundation of health, medical care but the very real key to longevity and happiness.

To promote the spirit and practice of healthy lifestyle from within, over last few years, I have discussed the healthy-lifestyle-related issues with the leading parties and persons numerous times, but  my lifelong vision and passion have never rung the bell of their minds. Instead, all what I have got are political coldness and bureaucratic suppression so to serve the convenience of bureaucracy and commercialism.

Worst yet, I have even been threatened by hinting the possible actions against reappointment and with reprimand.

Now, should I betray my loyalty to my profession to pursue quality and quantity as well as to my belief - Honesty is the best policy - as stated by President Lincohn.

Therefore, I seek the advice from any corners in the world.

Meanwhile, before I die, let's hail to the Magic Power of Universal Healthy Lifestyle.

As you can see, the above online search results conform and strongly support my suspicion - overindulgence and obsession as the most common chronic killers of life, and everyone I have chatted with would agree to such conclusion, but no one dares to speak up and elaborate the detail and to act for a change.

Why?

Here is my observation and explanation:
Evident to all, over-eating, alcoholism, smoking, Internet surfing, sex, drugs, etc. are the common examples of overindulgence and obsession. They almost always happen within the boundary of personal life or privacy, and captivate the affected persons to overuse, misuse, abuse personal inherent faculties, resulting in poor health. So, in a sense, the affected are under the ravage of self-inflicted personal slavery - overindulgence and obsession.

Under the sun, nothing is perfect and everything comes with a price. Even enjoying freedom, individualism, and privacy as the wonderful blessing and gift of civilization and democracy comes with a price, and has been under intense protection of laws, regulations, and the Constitution.

As a result, personal invisible territory and fence constantly extend and expand almost out of proportion. As expected, people would exercise the highest possible precaution trying not to get across over personal fence into personal territory.

Eventually, the contents of daily conversation would be highly modified and sophisticated to only deliver political correctness or hypocrisy to meet what people like, love, and want to hear, and not what people need to hear.

Constant delivery of political correctness doesn't just happens to the ordinary, but more notably, to the highly educated white collars, of course, including politicians and many others to portrait their kindness and generosity so they would be liked, wouldn't offend their constituency, and can win election and re-election over and over again.

While politicians offer kindness and generosity to meet political correctness, do they pay more taxes than the ordinary like you and me? Of course, they don't, but gain their instant fine reputation for being kind and generous, yet nothing to lose.

Would you remember what the former US President, J. F. Kennedy said in his inaugural speech on January 20, 1961? Then, he righteously and courageously said, "... ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

That brief statement has gained its instant and lasting popularity and most of American can even reiterate that rhetoric perfectly.

Fortunately and unfortunately, he was assassinated before he got opportunities to further elaborate its deeper meaning. I would predict, if he further expanded what he really wanted to mean, he would never be re-elected because a deeper elaboration would irritate people's nerve by potentially invading their privacy and individualism, which is not what people would like, love, and want to hear, and run into the trap of political suicide by merciless political incorrectness.

If one follows the same flow of thinking as the President J. F. Kennedy did and says, "... ask not what your country and medical professionals can do for you, ask what you can do for yourself by yourself first,", her/his political popularity will instantly tarnish and plummet to extinction and she/he would never be re-elected.

On top of this, commercialism has constantly hypnotize the public by manipulating people's greed, ignorance, anxiety, and fear with all forms of power and with all forms of disguise under hidden agenda so to lure the people to empty their pockets for transactions.

Within such a messy political quagmire, what should we do?

In my view, people need to be informed and educated with transparency so they can make their own decision to practice Universal Healthy Lifestyle for living a long happy life or to live with stress and die at an early age through enormous amount of avoidable pain and suffering.

Conclusion
Living a long happy life is doable within the reach of all willing persons. For detail, welcome to visit www.ForMeFirst.com.

Together, we can build a Worldwide Online Community to March for a Long Happy Life for All.

Stay tuned and I will talk with you soon.

Best Gifts for Holiday Celebration

Best Gifts for Holiday Celebration

Happy Thanksgiving! Here comes my best wishes for your Today, Thanksgiving, health, happiness, and ….
Speed train 2013 of time just passed the Station of Halloween not long ago, kicking off two-month long 2013 Holidays; today it arrives at Thanksgiving; then it ramps up to its high at Christmas-New year Station within one month.

This one-way speed time train has incurred and brought us tons of ups and downs, joy and grief, success and failure among our life at home, in workplace, on streets, in malls, in the air … as well, in the woods, near rivers, and in the mountains. No matter what have happened to me, I couldn't help to say, “I love you, I am sorry, please forgive me, and thank you.” to all whoever have interacted with me together for “good or bad”. 

Nonetheless, all in all, the life has been good to and inspired me to envision higher and brighter hope for years ahead from living with you.

To assure more energy and ability to further interact with our world to capture more joy and success in years to come, I would like to offer something beyond traditional turkey, dance, and wishes; that's Universal Healthy Lifestyle comprising the five ingredients:

1. eat, enjoy, and control foods, and don't let foods control us;
2. take part in quality mental and physical exercise, but avoid overindulgence and obsession;
3. sleep well and sound for at least 6-8 hours every day, preferably at night;
4. meditate to reinforce spiritual and physical connection, and pray if religious;
5. follow currently available, reasonable, realistic,l medical advice as needed.

Practicing these High-FIVE Universal healthy Lifestyle will make all willing souls act more functionally, work more productively, and live more independently and less burdensome. The realization of this life scenario will surely emerge, slowly and surely, in living tomorrow and beyond 2014 … years to come ….

At the arrival of next Thanksgiving, we will climb to a higher ground of productivity and independence with more energy and ability to deliver and share our genuine joy and success of living together in the world.

Best wishes to your Happy Thanksgiving, health, and happiness

Happy Holidays 2013!

Happy Holidays 2013!

Hi! Dear Family Members, Friends, Colleagues, Fellow Life Enthusiasts,


I know it's late to say something to send 2013 away and welcome 2014 to come, but I have never forgot you.


Like crowds, near the very end of 2013, I would love to dispatch something beyond sweet words and chocolate to express my best long-lasting wish for you. But it's hard to find such a thing.


Remembered in childhood as a country boy and a farmer's son in a remote village of Taiwan, during year-end festivity, I have never received any fancy present but eggs, hugs, chicken drumsticks, and a few Taiwanese dollar bills from parents and grandparents plus a small rugged pack from the Wiseman Commonsense, who says, “Young man, do something every day, not just think of and talk about something. Nothing is free and you will get something some days out of what you have put in. Happy Holidays!” That message annoyed me and I didn't understand it. Over the past 30 years, finally, I got what he meant more real and real, and I love it.


Inspired by this Wiseman, I recycled what he told me and what he meant to produce this pack for you: Universal Healthy Lifestyle as the very core foundation of health medical care as well as the very key to longevity, which contains following five bitter ingredients in realizing life is a process of constant struggle to cope with reality, certainty, and uncertainty of daily living for survival, growth, and continuation, as follows:

1. Eat, enjoy, and control foods, and don't let foods control us;
   
2. practice quality mental and physical exercise every single day, but avoid overindulgence and obsession;
   
3. sleep sound and well for at least 6-8 hours every day, bur preferably at night;
   
4. mediate to reinforce spiritual and physical connection, and pray if religious;
   
5. follow currently available, reasonable, realistic, medical advice as needed.
   

With these five, we can maintain and sustain a free-flowing circulation to bring and distribute the needed nutrition to nurture and nourish all tissues and organs of our bodies. Thereby, we gain more energy and ability to live on. So we can serve, care, and love one another more, and get together to play harder, joke naughtier, and laugh louder more times in years to come.


Best Wish to Your Health, Happiness, and Happy Holidays 2013 and Beyond ….

An Urgent Call to Rescue the Ship of America, huge and luxury

An Urgent Call to Rescue the Ship of America, huge and luxury

(James) Chin-Ti Lin, M.D., certified urologist, award-winning author, speaker, copywriter

Lately, more and more people outcry on how to maintain and restore the America' glory by finger-pointing crossfire but missing the points and targets on what we Americans should do.

Do they really mean it? Unfortunately, the light to restore energy and ability for this urgent call for national rescue has failed to loom?

Now, Americans, can we take on this national rescue mission to restore America's glory? Yes, we can but only if we are willing to face reality, certainty, and uncertainty of life. But it requires invoking honesty and courage, and let us roll up sleeves and find them.

The quality and quantity of need foment people's sense of urgency to act. But current US social atmosphere full of political correctness and commercialism, day in and day out, delivers only what people like, love, and want to hear political correctness, not what people need to hear. As a result of such social bombardment, the truth and facts of life are distorted and clouded, most of people cannot get in touch with the reality of life, and in the end what people feel and act just reacting to news-serving excitement and missing the points and targets.

So most people live inside an invisible house of fantasy, which is so far from reality to pursue survival, growth, and continuation, and political correctness continues to trance most people.

For decades, we have heard politicians and activists shout every single day on how to assert rights in a right-right, right-left, right-up, right-down, right-north, right-south, right-east, and right-west manner to constantly inject the social toxin of political correctness to please their constituents so to earn likable reputation of cost-free kindness and generosity for re-election at the expense of tax-payers.

And how often have we ever heard someone talk about how to fulfill obligations?

Common sense tells us that asserting rights means to take away something from somewhere; then who would have put something at somewhere to allow someone to take away something at need?

Nothing is free. So do we need Nobel laureates, rocket scientists, and renown economists to tell us what to do?

Now, we are in trouble because we have failed to reciprocate right assertion and obligation fulfillment, resulting in stagnating the huge luxury Ship of America, known to all, which requires a lot of money maintain its luxury and a deep social water to float and navigate its waterway of freedom.

What's the solution? Simple and clear.

We need not only to realize and accept truth and facts of life but to balance the reality and expectation by more fulfilling obligations and less asserting rights so the depth of our needed social water can rise to float and navigate the Huge Luxurious Ship of America and the resource may restore to maintain its luxury. So we may have the best possible hope to continue enjoying a comfortable ride on the luxurious huge Ship of American.

Otherwise, the Ship of America will continue to sink with no return. Griping doesn't work and no one can and will help us, but ourselves, the American citizens, to resurrect our government to the stage of  the people by the people for the people to deliver the truth and transparency, not the one of partisan elites by partisan elites for partisan elites to deliver the slogan of political correctness and lip service.

The Surest Idea and Practice for a Long Happy Life

The Surest Idea and Practice for a Long Happy Life 

- Two Pairs of Words to Remember: Circulation - Nutrition and Energy -  Ability 

 

Success or failure in managing relationships with our own life and those with our immediate, intermediate, and distant families, relatives, friends, coworkers, organizations, society, country, and the world will dictate if we will be happy or not in life. 

Technically, the task of managing all these relationships is all what we do in daily living whole day long.

To be successful in managing any relationship, we need:
    To possess sufficient energy and ability to effectively interact with our internal and external 
    environments so to make good and right decisions and then take good and right actions. 

Then we can have the best possible hope to have good and right results from what we do. 

Where do we get the needed energy and ability? Simple and clear.

It comes from practicing the high quality direct self-service, which is similar to what the former US President Kennedy stated: Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for 
your country. Direct self-service consists of the following five ingredients:

   1. eat, enjoy, and control foods, and don't let foods control us;
   2. keep up quality daily mental and physical exercises, but avoid any form of overindulgence 
       and obsession;
   3. sleep sound and well for at least 6 to 8 hours every single day;
   4. meditate to reinforce spiritual and physical connection, and pray if religious;
   5. follow currently available reasonable, realistic medical advice as needed.

Practicing the above, all willing persons, slowly and surely, will gain their best possible mental and physical health and composure; so, be more functional to learn and retain more of what they learn, be more productive in taking on personal or professional chores and tasks, be more independent and less burdensome. 

In short, high quality direct self-service will assure us to have an effective free-floating circulation to bring and distribute all needed nutrition to nurture all tissues and organs of our bodies. Thereby, we will more energy and ability to handle our daily living of managing all relationships with the surrounding.  

Now you capture and secure the key to live a longer and happier life.

That is my take on how to live a long happy life. How do you think? 

If it sounds logical and making sense to you, join me to make the dream of living a longer and happier life come true.

However and meanwhile, beware and realize: Behind what we know always still hides a lot of what we don't know. So, I will keep eyes open for you to continue exploring behind what we know and keep you updated with what we may discover down the road.

So I welcome all enthusiastic minds and souls to join me to explore and inject all possible ways to accomplish the universal goal of life - to look nicer, feel better, and live longer.Together we can and will enjoy this dream of healthy living can bring.

Synopsis of Life and Peace

Synopsis of Life and Peace

James Chin-Ti Lin, M.D., certified urologist, award-winning author, public speaker, copywriter

The universal goal of life is to look nicer, feel better, and live longer. Medical care is merely to help people accomplish this goal to its best possible fullest.

The very motive to live is to survive, to grow, and to last; this truth applies to the fate of all entities, maybe individuals or any size of groups.

Technically, life and daily living is a process of constant struggle to manage a long list of relationships ranging from the one with our own life to those with immediate, intermediate, and distant family members, relative, friends, coworkers, organizations, institutions, societies, our own nation, and the world.

The success or failure in managing them decides if we will be happy or not, but relies on if we have enough energy and ability to make good and right decisions and to take good and right actions so to generate good and right results from what we do.

To keep up a relationship, we have to balance and reciprocate asserting our rights and fulfilling our obligations so peace can emerge, maintain, sustain, and last. If not, a relation will doom to crush, imperil, and end; peace will never last.

How can we look nicer, feel better, and live longer and possess enough energy and ability? The answer and solution to this quest is to keep up quality nutrition and circulation. 

Then how can we make this dream goal come true?

The surest regimen to conquer this quest is take the Magic Pill for a Long Happy Life with the following five ingredients:

1. Eat, enjoy, and control foods, and don't let foods control us;
2. keep up quality mental and physical exercise every day, but avoid overindulgence and obsession;
3. sleep sound and well for 6-8 hours every single day, preferably at night;
4. meditate to reinforce spiritual and physical connection, and pray if religious; and
5. follow currently available reasonable, realistic, medical advice as needed.

That is the solution; guarantee.
