That's powerful!

 

The pediatrician, Dr Leila Denmark, I went to lived to be 114 years old. She practiced until she was 103 years old.

One of her secrets was avoiding refined sugar. She didn't have any of it past her 70th birthday.

 

Perhaps the key to a long life, is just to live a simple life?

 

That's starting to sound like the secret, Wolf Angel.

 

That's my plan ("I am a simple man, - so I sing a simple song")

 

Well thats pretty amazing, nice to hear of someone living a full life, well a full life and then some

 

Wow i had no idea there was anyone alive that old

Just imagine if humans could one day extend their average lifespan to 150 years! Thats like two lifetimes for the price of one

 

I dunno if I could live that long. At some point our bodies begin to lose most of their abilities to do anything. Your hearing goes away, along with your vision, and your ability to get up and do simple tasks.

 

I smoke too many cigarettes.

 

it would be horrible.
we are not meant to live so long beyond our reproductive viability.
just look at how much of a mess things have become in the last century as we decreased infant mortality rates and extended the average life span by 25+ years.
currently the population is expected to level off around 10 billion in the next few decades.
If people lived twice as long, we would all be fucked.
