I'm a big fan of making quality choices that lead to living longer and living better. The question of the day on this blog is, "How do we do that?" I remember those charts on classroom walls from grade school about food pyramids. They were sponsored by people who wanted us to buy more of their products. As we learn more about how to maximize our longevity, ideas change about what to eat, how much to eat and when when to eat. The longer I live the more I understand how deficient my knowledge is about how our bodies can be maximized in both quantity of years and quality of life. That's one of the reasons why my own book, "Live Long and Prosper," is so difficult to bring to a conclusion. All I can say is I'm learning a great deal about longevity through trial and error and delving into the experiments of modern day researchers who love their lab rats.
I had my annual eye exam yesterday. My optometrist gave me a clean bill of health regarding my eyes and asked what I was doing to stay fit. I told her about the next book I'm getting ready to read written by a Harvard professor who has been studying longevity for the last thirty years. "Lifespan Why We Age and Why We Don't Have To," by David A. Sinclair, may offer some great lessons in longevity. I promise to share what I learn from Sinclair's book in future posts. Have a great day.
