Humans will live forever after death. This life is temporary. True life is the life after death. Once we die our creator will again resurrect us on the Judgment day.And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his book Quran then you will be succeed in hereafter life. God Almighty says, “Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose) and that you would not be brought back to Us?” (Quran 23:115) From above verse, we can conclude, we were indeed created for a purpose beyond that of simply play and enjoyment in this life. We have the purpose of life that we should know and have to live life according to that purpose. God almighty describes purpose of this life, I have not created the jinn and the men except for this that they should worship Me. I do not ask any sustenance of them, nor do I ask them to feed Me. Allah Himself is the Sustainer, Possessor of power and might. Quran 51 (56-58) From the ayah, it is clear that the creation of humans, as well as jinns, is for the purpose of worshiping Allah Almighty. We believe that there is only One Creator Who created us and we acknowledged Him, we all know that He created us (humankind) to serve Him. There is a reason behind the creation of this world and humankind. If you worship Allah then it's for your own benifit. Because we don't have that much power. Allah sustains us. He feed every single creature on the face of the earth. We all are dependent on Him. God almighty says, We have not created the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them merely in sport: We have created them with the truth, but most of them do not know. For the resurrection of them all, the appointed time is the Day of Decision. Qur'an 44 (38:40) The day of Decision means the day of Judgment when Allah almighty will gather all Mankind starting from First to the last. Allah almighty will resurrect them which means Allah will give us life after death. And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his final revelation Qur'an then we will be given eternal life in Paradise. Hereafter life is the eternal life either in Hell or Paradise depending upon the good deeds.Hereafter life is true life we all should work for that life not for that which is temporary. The people of Paradise will visit one another, recognise one another and meet one another in the Gardens of delights. This is part of the perfect delight of the people of Paradise. There is nothing to prevent someone of a lower status in Paradise from visiting one who is above him, as also happens in this world. God almighty speaks about life after death, As regards those, who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them into Gardens underneath which canals flow, wherein they will abide for ever. This promise of Allah is true and who can be truer in his word than Allah? Qur'an 4 (122)

Summary of advice given by Dr. John Scharffenberg: 1. Eat at the proper time, avoid snacking, and consume a variety of natural, non-processed foods in quantities for ideal weight. 2. Follow a vegetarian or lacto ovo vegetarian diet, emphasizing a variety of plant-based foods. 3. Avoid tobacco and alcohol. 4. Engage in regular exercise and maintain a healthy weight. 5. Be cautious of excessive meat and sugar intake. 6. Control high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol. 7. Prioritize lifestyle changes over medication, especially for cardiovascular health. Other interesting facts shared in the video: 1. Dr. Scharffenberg is a 99-year-old Adventist vegetarian. 2. Studies have shown an association between increased meat intake, particularly beef, and higher risk of lymph gland cancer. 3. Avoiding seven lifestyle risk factors can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes: tobacco, alcohol, inactivity, overweight, excessive meat consumption, excessive sugar consumption, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol. 4. Cholesterol level alone is not a reliable indicator of heart health, and lifestyle factors have a significant impact on cardiovascular disease risk. 5. Controversies exist in the field of nutrition, including conflicts of interest and lack of nutrition education for doctors. Informational sources and authors mentioned: 1. Dr. Alan Cunningham - Author of books on longevity and the association between meat intake and lymph gland cancer. 2. True North Health Center - A health center known for medically supervised water fasting. 3. Cochrane Database - A group of top specialists in different subjects, known as the gold standard for evaluating research. 4. Ellen White - A figure believed to be a prophet in the Seventh Day Adventist tradition, who advocated for two meals a day.

Meat is only an issue when it's fed crap, and filled with antibiotics and other drugs. If it really was an issue, humanity would have died out a very long time ago! Always choose grass fed meat, and organic or biodynamic food.

It’ll not just the diet… Look at his mental framework, he’s the ultimate optimist! Also: he does only 2 meals per day and undergoes a long period of fasting; his mantra “when hungry, drink a glass of water “. He kept himself physically and mental active. He uses food to support his whole being and therefore he needs small portions of very nutritious foods. Look how frugal his food stack was; he has massive respect and appreciation for food. It’s the combination of all these dimensions that got him to 100 years. Not just one thing… ❤

I put her picture as athe cover on a song titled "Her High Horse." btw. WHAT GREAT INTERVIEW with Dr. Scharffenberg! Being a Seventh Day Adventist Church member and in commeration of those wonderful Church Members whose RECEPIES were absolutely excellently prepare, today we made a GIANT pan full of an half of an eggplant SLICED and yes, FRIED in Canola oil, then with added real butter and spaghetti on top...I want to ask Dr. Scharffenber, why does he think we get "addicted" to the "flavor of" the fried (cooked) egg plant ? We dip the sliced egg plant (peeled, sorry?) into the egg with some milk, and coat it with Whole wheat flour... Now, whenever my daughter and I cook egg plant, we with automatically THINK of Dr. Scharffenberg! Google spell check rolls wont' correct my word. COMMERATION, but I swear it's a word! To "commerate" HONOR and respect ! Please ask the doctor where he'll be in the next few months and see if he's like to vist San Diego, California sometime soon? Btw, in thinking that most of the BEST opera singers were always overweight, and believing that "weight "might have "added somewhat, to the physical power of the human voice..." I' asked the classical guitarist in Italy, to please back me up on my COMEDY, titled "Opera at its Worst!" The Doctor seem to have, BTW, bypassed a "dissertation upon" the healthy wine drinkers of Sicily in his diagnoses, uthink? Well one glass of red wine, and here goes my offer !

I am curious to learn a lot more and finally have time to ponder the great questions ;-). I agree with all the good doctor says, he has the right mindset and a positive, generous attitude, I only would like to add: yes, the doctors rarely have time to ask about lifestyle, mental health, nutrition these days ...I thought with what I am studying I could encourage people of my age and the young just as well to take charge of their lives, all the points mentioned plus not to forget: community and purpose, self-efficacy, courage, curiosity, empathy. However I realise that many men and women of all ages expect the doctors and the pharmacy to provide the quick fix. The knowledge and information can be found .. but has to be applied.

My grandma just turned 98. She ate bread, fruits and veggies. She did a lot of physical work all her life. She's also curious and positive. She survived WWII and a two year famine, as a child. During the famine she ate grass.

Wow grass & the Grace of God

Dr John had reached 99 years old because he is such a jolly good fellow. I like him. He looks like he never been stressed at all. That’s probably the reason why he lived longer.

I started to think about becoming a vegetarian just a few weeks ago. The algorithm lead me to this video and it convinced me to go through with it! Exactly what I needed.

I love these types of elderly people. There is no faking it, the results are visible.

This doctor is amazing! He is a REAL DOCTOR, genuinely concerned about people and their health. At 100 years old, his knowledge is impeccable; we could all learn so much. THANK YOU KZread, for this video about "real life."

DR. John is so amazing. I got the opportunity to talk and laugh with him at his church which he is a member of in Sacramento for his birthday. 12/09/2023.

The most important thing I learned from this interview (that he didn't say) "Be cheerful if you want to live to be 99 and still be healthy" Having a cheerful nature is a massive life-extender. It lowers the stress chemicals in your bloodstream. That impacts everything in your body....everything.

Random joint pain in my hands has mostly disappeared. Im an artist-so that is especially good news to me! This interview is great.

I'm still waiting for a list of names, Chris. BTW, our good doctor is not vegan, and has never been vegan.

I've been gathering information on mental health, childhood trauma, longevity, diet, exercise you name it. And it took me about two years to reach some solid conclusion. Here Professor Scharffenberg summed it all up in couple simple answers. This is absolutely amazing, the wisdom he possesses.

First of all thank you so much for doing this interview. This is a pure gem! This man is amazing and we can learn a lot from him. My mom is 80 and she is as goods as a healthy 60 years old. She never drank or smoke (only now she drinks a little wine 8oz max once in awhile). She take one pill for Thyroid and that’s all. She drives, oversee construction projects , travel abroad every 6 months and is always doing something around the house- no process foods and very limited on sweets. I am 40 and she is my inspiration. One day we were talking and I asked if she was ready to go and she said yes but I don’t want to because I still have a lot of projects in my head that I want to complete. That made my heart warm.❤😊

My grandpa smoked 100 cigs a day and drank booze like there was no tomorrow. He was siring children in his early 70s, travelling the world with his mistress and generally raising hell. He ate whatever he wanted, kept his mind active with debates and chess, and was surfing on the day he died at 80. That was in 1942, when a man's average life expectancy was 60.

The professor has LIVED the life of a Public Heath Specialist and his memory, vigour, laughter is a proof of the validity of the advice he is giving. He is still learning and continues on his mission to spread the message that lifestyle is the key to a full and healthy life. I am a public Health specialist myself in his eighties and follow the lifestyle advocated by the Professor. I suggest, from obsrvations and personal experience, that yogasanas in addition to the 2 mile walks prescribed by the Professor, plus maintaing the attitude to keep on learning, will add to the prescription. I have forwarded this interview to colleagues and relations. It must get a wide viewership.
