LEARN TO LEAD A “FOREVER YOUNG” LIFESTYLE
With thousands of diets and books available, many people still don’t know what to believe, how to eat, or what is right for their family.
University of North Dakota (UND) alumnus and Grand Forks native, Dr. James H. O ’Keefe, Jr., and his wife have developed a program they say allows families to live active lives, eat nutritious and delicious foods, and get back to the natural way of living.
O’Keefe, a nationally recognized cardiologist, will discuss his program at a free public talk Saturday (Feb. 18) from 11 a.m.-noon in the United Hospital Lecture Hall at the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences, 501 N. Columbia Road.
Following the program, O’Keefe will sign copies of his book, “The Forever Young Diet and Lifestyle,” at Barnes and Noble bookstore, 775 Hamline Street, from noon – 1 p.m.
“Becoming the healthiest, happiest, and best you can be takes more than just a fad diet; it is a lifestyle,” said O’Keefe. “It happens with following the eating patterns for which we are designed, and incorporating the right lifestyle and attitude.”
According to O’Keefe, this program is advice for the whole family and can improve vitality and longevity for anyone. The Forever Young Diet and Lifestyle contains practical, down-to-earth scientifically proven advice on how to become lean and youthful through exercise, optimism, volunteerism, spirituality, and the ideal diet. It also emphasizes the importance of friends and family, as well as animal companions and even gardens.
O’Keefe, staff cardiologist and director of the Preventive Cardiology Program at the Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Mo., was born in Grand Forks, N.D. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from UND in 1978 and attended medical school at UND for two years before going on to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston to receive his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1982. He is a practicing cardiologist and also does research and teaches cardiovascular medicine and preventive cardiolog.
