Many look fabulous with MS thanks to an ultra healthy lifestyle. What does MS look like? It often looks like David Osmond who has MS. Those who follow an ultra healthy life style say their friends always comment on them finding the fountain of youth. Fun!
It's hard to find a better looking role model for a life of healthy living with MS than our own Professor George Jelinek, M.D. In the USA, we would call Jelinek a beefcake! Woohoo! Take a look at this picture of him at age 57 with his wife at the beach in France! More fun! What do you think? Do you have photos of MS role models we should post? Ah, inspiration is a wonderful thing and aids the goal setting process. The important message is that living a long and full life with MS, with little or no disability, is entirely possible.
On The Intelligent Person’s Guide to Beating Multiple Sclerosis, we often remind ourselves and others that following an ultra healthy lifestyle that helps beat MS is not a sacrifice. In fact, when we see the benefits, we start leaving information on ultra healthy living around for others — whether they have MS or not. Besides, healthy food tastes good and feels good!
Alas, given the world-wide tradition of over-indulgence at holiday time, it is time once again to remind ourselves of the benefits of healthy living. Temptations abound. We need to remind ourselves of the consequences of cheating while remembering the amazing benefits of an ultra healthy lifestyle. A look at these photos can help us remind ourselves and nudge others in the right direction too. Remember always, we love feeling and looking healthy and “drop dead gorgeous from eating right”.
Happy holidays!

Thank you for a very timely reminder, it really hit home! Feeling great takes dedication and I am dedicated to feeling great!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this message! We can still look and feel good with MS, it dosent always go down hill, this message needs to be shouted and heard more. There are so few good news stories about MS online, we all need to hear the positive side alot more, for everyones well being and understanding. Thank you so much x
Thank you Rebecca. I must admit it is a bit daunting facing the holiday season and knowing that friends and family will be proffering various forbidden foods. However, I have already made up my mind not to succomb in any way and to give myself the best chance of staying healthy. It has worked so well up until now. It is so encouraging to know that there are others out there who are following a similar path to mine.. Good health and happy Christmas to you all.
Thanks all for all of your comments! We are all in this together and all of us working to spread the information about the importance of ultra healthy life style matters in a big way. Helping others live healthy can be the most important gift we can give.
This is a great site!
