HOW TO LIVE FOR A LONG TIME.


It is very, very important that if you wish to live for a long time you must select parents or grandparents who have also lived for a long time.
The 30,000 people in America who are over the age of 100- all have one thing in common; parents or grandparents who also lived for a long time. Other factors such as race, lifestyle and habits vary.
If you have not of course been smart enough to select the appropriate ancestors and you still wish to live for a long time, you must of course embark on a different route.
This will involve, looking after yourself, not drinking, drugging, involving yourself in unhealthy relationships, no late nights, no smoking, eating only healthy stuff and the big one regular exercise. All this will help you with your longevity programme and if it does not, do not worry because even if you do not live for a long time, living like this will of course make it seem like you have been living for a really long time. Either way you win.

A student once asked me - "if rocks are full of water and minerals and people are full of water and mineral too, why are people alive and rocks are dead?"
My reply- " I am genuinely flattered Jason that you think I actually know the answer to that question. Thank you. "
FALLING APART
As you grow older you will of course notice a strange phenomenon called falling apart. There are a number of strategies to cope with this.
1. Deny it and dress yourself in really young fashionable clothes and exercise and look after yourself.
2. Deny it and do not do anything.
3. Plastic surgery and hip and knee replacements.
4. Enjoy the opportunity and live by the motto of the motorcycle group grow old disgracefully.
5. Stand further back from the mirror when you look at yourself. About a metre for each decade should do the trick. Avoid looking at yourself in bright lights and invest in a few dimming switches around your home. Money well spent.
6. Enjoy the fact that nobody notices you anymore and do a few things that will get you noticed that you would never have dreamed of doing when you were young and had your image to worry about and the odd person did notice you.
7. Take solace in the fact that if you went to Woolworths in your slippers no-one would notice or even comment on this lack of taste. Obviously if you wish to get some attention you will have to do something far more outrageous than this. Spend some time thinking about what you can do rather than thinking about which of your joints is slowing being attacked by arthritis.
8. Use your will and your inheritance plan  to play games with your family and amuse yourself so you are distracted from the fact you are falling apart.
9. Use a lot more painkillers and medications. Make full use of your seniors card to do this, otherwise it is just wasted and young people carrying on about your use of the medical system will not be wasting their time.
10. Up your alcohol uptake.
