People assume that they will retire at 60 and die when they are 70. If you can think positive, live a healthy life, listen to your body and follow a regime, then you can live for 100 years, healthy and happy.
People who are making it to 100 live in environments where they are regularly nudged into physical activity.
Physical immortality is seductive. The ancient Hindus sought it; the Greek physician Galen from the 2nd Century A.D. and the Arabic philosopher/physician Avicenna from the 11th Century A.D. believed in it.
I am not sure our brains and our psychologies are ready for immortality.
What we know about super old people who are thriving is that they don't become infirm, they don't get cancer, they don't get Alzheimer's.
The more cats you have, the longer you live. If you have a hundred cats, you'll live 10 times longer than if you have 10. Someday this will be discovered, and people will have a thousand cats and live forever. It's truly ridiculous.
I'm planning to be here forever, but I know at some point I'll probably have to give it up. If you live to 100, there's a very good chance you'll live forever. Because very few people die after 100.
My grandma passed away at 98 1/2 and I want to live to 100. I want to be able to do what I can do even at 100.
