WHAT IF YOU LIVE TO 100?

WHAT IF YOU LIVE TO 100?

The number of people living to 100 has increased, as life expectancy has improved significantly, despite seemingly never ending epidemics and wars. People lived to 35 - 40 years of age 5,000 years ago, when infant mortality was also very high. You can live a happy and long life, as long as you remain active and curious. If you focus on certain goals, you'll be allowed to go on. Remember, certain foods and pills could actually kill you over time, despite all the propaganda. Be very sceptical towards anything, that may be unnatural. Your life may depend on it. Rely on the invisible hand to navigate the minefield of your life.

Suffering a serious decline in memory is not a given at all. That apparently only applies to a tiny minority. All the research, that is currently being done on cells and DNA should eventually produce amazing results. The survivors among us should look forward to becoming 120 and 150 years old. Giant tortoises can reach an age of 150 years already, with some whales and fish living to an age of 200 years or more. 

You won't be able to live forever nor would you want to. But as long as you aren't 'a useless eater' and you have a contribution to make to mankind, you'll find, that you are a vital part of this world, whatever your age. So try to keep moving!
