Life
expectancy can be defined as the average number of years an individual
can possible live with regards to environmental and economic factors. It
varies from country to country. some have higher life expectancy while
others have lower. Japan for instance has the highest life expectancy so
far with about 5years age difference from USA and Canada, which are
both 60 years. In Nigeria, life expectancy is between 43 - 45 years.
How can we increase life expectancy here in Africa/Nigeria? Most people
have assumed that
long life is connected to food and shelter. As this a
fact, it is not the very truth. if it were correct, Africans consumes
large amount of food than anywhere else in the world, why is our
mortality rate on the increase?
Research has shown that long
life is a function of feeding the tripartite nature of man, and most
importantly the very MAN - THE SOUL. And the only way to feed the soul
is through books and music. Long life is not connected to food as much
as it is connected to READING AND STUDYING.
This truth can also
be found in the BIBLE where Jesus quotes the book of Deuteronomy 8:3 -
"...THAT MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY BREAD ONLY, BUT BY EVERY WORD..."
Africa, You can live longer than expected if you could just give
yourself to reading {1 & 2 Timothy 4:13} I am not saying do not eat,
try to equate your eating with your reading. It would help you BALANCE
your DIET. READING IS FEEDING.
I see you LIVING a happier life ahead only if you give in to READING.
