Last year I met an old friend who I hadn’t seen for nearly 15 years. He recognised me but I knew he couldn’t remember my name, so I said, “You don’t remember me do you?” to which he shook his head, so I told him my name. He literally stood there for about 3-4 seconds with his mouth open and eyes wide in disbelief and just blurted out “You’ve gone back in time.”
We started to talk about how I had chosen to refine my diet; over the last few years I had cut out dairy, gluten, alcohol, sugar and caffeine. This dietary change has had such a profound and positive effect on me and my overall well-being; it had also helped me lose a lot of extra weight I had been carrying. But his only response to everything that I shared with him was “What, you don’t drink any alcohol at all?”
I found it strange that his only response was about the alcohol so I presented to him the possibility that what we eat has a direct influence on how we look and that certain foods and drink can age us prematurely.
Using the analogy of looking at our body as a car, what happens to a car if we:
- Don’t always put the right fuel in?
- Drive it too fast?
- Don’t protect it from rusting?
- Don’t keep it clean and tidy?
What happens is that the car starts to look shabby, neglected and old beyond its years.
Is it possible then, if we don’t lovingly take care of our bodies and really look at what fuel we put into it, that our bodies will go through the same process?
I feel that by putting the wrong fuel into our bodies it starts to rust from the inside. We start to look a lot older than we actually are and then things start to break down.
For instance, I used to have a constant supply of tablets for heartburn and indigestion because I was drinking too much coffee and alcohol combined with eating lots of fatty fried food and enormous amounts of sugar in the form of cakes, biscuits, chocolate, sweets and fizzy drinks. I would also feel bloated from eating foods with gluten, like bread or pasta.
Because of what I was eating I always felt lethargic; I just couldn’t be bothered to do anything except watch TV, which just compounded the issue. My thoughts were very foggy and only seemed to be about food and watching TV/DVD’s. My skin was red and blotchy and I quite often came out in spots. My bones seemed to creak when I had to get up and I was always catching a cold or having a complaint with my chest; at one point in my life I had a stint of several ear infections.
Since 2007, when I started to attend the presentations by Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, I have gained a better understanding about the effects certain foods and drinks have on our bodies. I could then start to make choices that truly nurtured and supported my body.
With the changes I have made to what I eat and drink I no longer need any tablets for heartburn or indigestion, I don’t feel bloated and my energy levels have increased. My thoughts have a lot more clarity and are not just focussed on me. My skin is very clear and I haven’t had a cold or a chest complaint for years.
Looking at some old photos of myself, I now look about 10 years younger and what is more important is that I FEEL younger. The choices I have made have had a profound effect on my life and I know I will never go back to my old ways.
So, in answer to the question,
Is Time Travel Possible?
No.
But is it possible to appear to slow down the ageing process by choosing to fuel and run our bodies in a loving manner, so we will look healthier and have more vitality? YES!
It just makes sense that if something we put into our bodies can prematurely age us, then we can reverse that by not putting it into our bodies, something which I have experienced, all without a time capsule in sight!!
Inspired by the work of Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and his continued love, commitment and dedication to humanity.

This is a great analogy Tim and one that is well worth remembering; ‘Using the analogy of looking at our body as a car, what happens to a car if we: Don’t always put the right fuel in? Drive it too fast? Don’t protect it from rusting? Don’t keep it clean and tidy? What happens is that the car starts to look shabby, neglected and old beyond its years.’
‘Looking at some old photos of myself, I now look about 10 years younger and what is more important is that I FEEL younger. ‘ This is truly amazing. When I was young I had a theory that when people got older they either addressed their worries and hurts and grew into sweet, kind and lovingly wise old people; or their hurts and bigaotories ate them up so they became bitter and twisted. What’s wonderful is reading how, when we deeply care for ourselves, we show the world what is possible.
Life is all about choices and the most self-loving choice we can make is to care for our body so that it supports us in all that we ask it to do.
This is amazing Tim, what a turnaround of how you were living and caring for yourself, ‘With the changes I have made to what I eat and drink I no longer need any tablets for heartburn or indigestion, I don’t feel bloated and my energy levels have increased. My thoughts have a lot more clarity and are not just focussed on me. My skin is very clear and I haven’t had a cold or a chest complaint for years.’
Whilst time travel is not possible certinly you’ve shown and inspired so many that you can turn back time or that actually you can defy time and live a far more full and incredible life by deeply caring for yourself and the result is a non-surgical, non-botox youth and vitality.
Yes, we have a huge impact on our health and well-being by deeply caring for ourselves.
Stepping backwards in time is like stepping through a doorway into a deepening paradigm of Love and self-caring as we evolve. So a deepening paradigm is like time travel as every, yes every time we enter a door we have a chance to deepen our return to our essences! So much has ‘a profound effect on my life and I know I will never go back to my old ways.’
The ‘manual’ of life we live with is well known but it’s all written on the basis of us living in a unloving way. Change the energy that runs our body and all the rules and ‘home truths’ about what’s normal go out the window.
Ultimately we choose what we look like – if we continue to eat foods and drinks that prematurely age us then of course we will look older then our years. Eat foods to nourish and our skin and eyes will just sparkle.
It is such a simple statement that if something can prematurely age us then there could well be things that slow down the ageing process or even reverse previous ill effects and here is an example.
Our body is indeed a vehicle through which its movements are fueled by a source of energy. When we choose a quality of energy which is aligned to the natural order of our bodies, we and our bodies then naturally reflect the vitality and spunk of who we naturally are in essence.
I love coming back to this blog Tim, you show us what is possible when we commit to life and ourselves, totally inspirational!
Commitment to self, and life, is a great choice to make.
I have just turned 40 and wow do I feel more beautiful, more healthy and more sorted then ever and why? because like you Tim I started to make my life simple and block out that which is not love.
Life is glorious – it is our choice to make it so.
