Live to 150
Right after Christmas we found out that my father has prostate cancer. This came as an absolute shock because my father is only 63 years old and healthy as a horse. He is very active and looks great. He is not overweight or inactive. 63 is a bit young to get prostate cancer (from what I have read). He starts treatment on 4/17/08 (seeds).
I saw an ad for a special that Barbara Walters is doing called “Living to 150″. I have read articles of people claiming that humans can live much longer than we actually do if we take proper care of ourselves. She will be interviewing Dr. David Sinclair who is involved with U.S. Lab Tested Resveratrol research and development. Resveratrol is associated with the “red wine molecule” that has been reported to help coronary disease, cancer, viral infections, Alzheimers and arthritis.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could take a supplement or pill that would help us to live long and healthy lives!?! There are so many toxins in the environment it is no wonder that our bodies break down too early. With the advancement of science and research hopefully we can find a way (in my lifetime!) to help humans live to be 100 years old and beyond. But not just alive .. a good quality of life. I see no point if we are not able to enjoy life but if we can be healthy and strong well into our 90’s that would be fantastic. I believe it can happen but having a positive mental frame of mind is also key to living a long and healthy lifestyle.
