Age doesn't matter.
Age doesn’t matter when you are in good health. Energy is youth. So in the spirit of lifelong health, I am alerting you to beware of dangerous chemicals that have been lurking in American waters for a long time. But they have been allowed to spread, going unreported and unchecked throughout our lifetimes. This is a time to call for transparency on all levels in our society.
Recently, my family and I went to hear Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha talk about her book documenting her experience in uncovering the tragic disaster of the Flint water crisis. As she told the audience what happened in Flint, it became clear that public health and a clean environment are ruled by politics. I am sharing news of this event with you because it is important for lifelong health — for you, your children and your grandchildren. Age doesn’t matter. Cultivating good health early in life improves the odds of living longer, and improving our environment is directly related to human health. What happens to others can spread to you and yours. But there are things you can do about it. You can affect what happens to your body and your environment.
