There comes a time when you begin to see your Parents, Grandparents, or even your own health begin to fade. As of this writing we're not sure which is harder to experience; seeing the physical effects of Cancer, Diabetes and Heart Disease, or the mental effects of Dementia. It's true that lifespans are longer now than a generation ago, but what is the quality of life in the longer years? Dr Myron Wentz, the Founder of USANA said, “I find it tragic that the vast majority of people leave this earth too soon and spend too many of their years in pain and suffering. In a sense, we are living too short and dying too long. Chronic degenerative diseases are rampant throughout the world."

You can learn from your own Dad in ways to become a positive role model for your Children regardless of how you were raised. It's your choice on the type of Father you are or will become. There are many wonderful Dads that became great through the daily on the job training they experience with their Children. There is still time to become a great Dad as there is no finish line when it comes to parenting. If you are a Dad or plan to become one some day, begin by taking care of your health and then the health of your family.
