Long-Life Expert Spells It Out
Staying healthy well into your nineties isn’t all about choosing the right parents says Dr. Donald Morse, In a "Wellness Profile" done by David Tuttle in the Life Extension May, 2007 issue, Dr. Morse has experienced many fields of endeavor: Biology at the City College of New York in 1950 on the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of exercise, writing a term paper on the effects of cigarette smoking on endurance and numerous degrees and he is an avid reader of the Life Extension Magazine.
In 1956, during his second year at New York University’s College of Dentistry, his pathology professor opened up a cadaver’s coronary arteries and a foamy white material came out. When Morse asked his professor where it came from, he was told it was the result of eating lots of butter, cheese, eggs, and whole milk. From that time forward, he avoided those foods, focusing on healthier ways to get his essential nutrients from food and supplements.
Morse has an impressive list of academic achievements that could easily stand alone as a life’s work. He received a master’s degree in clinical psychology from West Chester University and a PhD from Columbia Pacific University. While teaching at Temple University, he was awarded the Faculty Research Award for his studies of stress and its management. Morse also served as editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Psychosomatics for 10 years, and for the last five years, he has held the same position with The Journal of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies. He has written over 220 scientific articles and 12 books of non-fiction, including Surviving Stress: Simple, Safe, Strategic Solutions. "I’ve been teaching stress management, health and wellness for 30 years," notes Morse. In college, he played basketball, and lifted weights. A true renaissance man, Morse believes that you need to develop your mind, body and spirit to be a complete person. He follows the Greek motto: A sound mind in a sound body," he says. "People who don’t follow this adage often have an excellent mind, but their body collapses and they wind up sick, disabled or dead. Proper nutrition supplies nutrients for the mind and body. Proper exercise delivers these nutrients to the mind and body and meditation relaxes both the mind and body, which is necessary after physical activity and stressful encounters."
Physical and mental exercise can also help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia," he adds. When a person doesn’t look and feel well, he or she can become depressed and be more prone to disease. I believe one reason some people think you can’t do both is that many intellectuals have poorly developed bodies and many well-muscled athletes have poorly developed minds. You can be both well-built and intelligent, and a well conditioned body will make it easier to remain intelligent well into your nineties."
While Morse does have bronchial asthma and spinal stenosis—a narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress nerve roots—his healthy lifestyle has minimized the need for medications. He believes in a nutrition-based-regimen and a healthy lifestyle to minimize the need for medications.
He also rubs capsaicin (a natural extract from peppers) into the skin of his lower back, which he finds to be very effective in reducing and even eliminating pain. I have been using these very approaches to help me deal with the pain of crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Like many people, Morse was told that the best way to live a long life was to choose the right parents. But the latest information suggests that environmental factors are much more important in determining longevity. Exercise, proper nutrition, relaxation therapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, adequate sleep, a sense of humor, being spiritual, having friends, developing hobbies, seeking the help of friends or professionals when needed, and taking vacations, can all help a person to live a long and healthy life. Follow this advice and you can expect to be around for many years.
The role models in my Senior Tennis League prove by their example that living longer has to do with your attitude towards others, the friends you have and keep and fresh air and sunshine. It is not by accident that they continue to play, like kids, in their late 80's an early 90's.
Morse did a lot of things, but still found time to play doubles tennis. This provided him with an outlet for his athletic spirit, which has been a lifelong constant.
Among the supplement regimen of Donald Morse are the following. Mega- Green Tea, Coenzyme Q10, Super Zeaxanthin with Lutein, Gravesend with Resveratrol, Lycopene, Vitamin C, Aspirin, Selenium, Garlic Extract, Complete B Complex, Lecithin, Super Curcumin and more.

Like me, Morse looks at the vitamins, herbs and minerals, what they do for you and where to get them. I try to get most of mine by eating whole foods. Although, I believe in increased dosage of magnesium gluconate, CoQ10, and Centrum Silver as supplements with heart and nervous system support. I get the Lutein from blueberries and other foods and the lycopene from the many tomato sauce dishes I prepare. I drink diet Arizona Green tea with Ginseng and a small amount of honey with fresh lemon. I prepare foods with healthy Salsa, containing tomato puree, onions, green bell peppers, diced tomatoes, vinegar and low sodium. Instead of crackers or salty fried potato chips, I use celery stalks with the stringy veins removed. Pineapple contains both bromelain and papain which are excellent for arthritis. Apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil are used in my salads with fresh crushed garlic. Hot pepper sauce with cayenne pepper and chili is added to my chicken cacciatore. What a wonderful sauce for dipping! I remove all the chicken skin and fat - of course.
Dr. Donald Morsel placed first in the Natural USA Bodybuilding Championship at the ripe old age of 74 and he is my role model of the week. "Studies show that even people in their eighties and nineties can benefit greatly from an exercise program. That is why the Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins are working with the United States Tennis Association to do research on the health-benefits of tennis increasing longevity.
Research is costly but worth the effort to help Americans find a better way to maintain healthy bodies and avoid serious illness. Life Extension is a source I recommend highly as the ultimate source for new health and medical findings from around the world. You might want to try www.lef.org.
We need to do the things necessary to improve our health, mind and body through studying the best sources available for guidance and direction. We can no longer rely on our government, doctors, the FDA, or Food and Drug Manufacturers to guard us against poisoned food, ineffective and dangerous drugs and barbaric surgery leading to permanent damage and even death. More than 100,000 people die in hospitals in the U.S. every year due to negligence. Americans need to realize that the best way to get it right is for us to do it ourselves. Taste tests will tempt you to eat the wrong foods while completely ignoring the consequences of the contents in the food we eat. Read the labels and know the dangers you confront when you ignore trans fat, HFCS, hydrogenated vegetable oil, sodium and sugar content and poisonous chemical preservatives.
