About this ebook
Navigating the murky waters of healthy eating and building the perfect diet is one of life's biggest challenges. Every day people eat foods that at first glance seem perfectly healthy. They buy food based on price or convenience, or in some cases food addictions, and very little thought is given to the way these foods affect our bodies. Foods have the power to heal and to harm. This ebook will serve as your guide to a healthy body and a sound mind.

A MESSAGE FOR PEOPLE DEDICATED TO LIVING WELL AND LIVING LONG
Longevity. Who in their right minds wouldn’t want to live a long, happy and fulfilling life? To be able to help patients live well, caring for them and allowing them to enjoy life to its fullest and everything else it has to offer. That is the unspoken mantra of every health care practitioner --or should be. Having been a physician for more than 10 years now, I know full well it has been mine. My name is Dr. Chirag R. Patel and I would love to provide you what my years of medicinal practice have taught me on living well and living long.
It has been my practice’s goal (as well as my life’s) to be able to provide my patients with the utmost service possible when it comes to caring for their health and well being. As a physician, I have always strived hard to turn this goal into reality
at every given opportunity. I believe that reaching out, educating patients and empowering them to be responsibly active in caring for their health is part of a medical professional’s duties. It is for this reason that I’m writing this book --allowing me to break the barriers of communication and be able to convey my message that living a long, happy and fulfilling life is all within your reach.
It is my deepest wish to be able to impart my knowledge on proper and responsible health care and its impact on how meaningful life can be. Let me guide you through the obstacles of aging with all the knowledge and resources that I have been able to gain over the years. There are so many easy things you can be doing today to start looking and feeling young.

All the best,
