"Being born is not a crime, so why must it carry a sentence of death?"
|

-- Robert Ettinger

Diet, lifestyle and medical choices over the course of your life make a large difference to your longevity and health. The choice between being incapacitated at age sixty or living to celebrate an active, healthy hundredth birthday is - barring bad luck or poor genes - in your hands. It's never too early or too late to start thinking about how you can improve the quality of your life, and take reasonable steps to ensure your future health and well-being.
You are responsible for your own medical, diet, lifestyle, exercise and supplement choices, as well as the research needed to make these decisions. No-one can run your life for you; even your physician is there to help, not dictate. Many groups offer suggestions, commonly followed guidelines, shorter paths through the confusing wealth of information, and links to respected resources - but it is up to you to make the best use of this information.
Calorie restriction (eating fewer calories while still receiving the correct nutrients) is the only presently available technique that has been scientifically proven to improve longevity in mammals. It offers a number of other proven health benefits, such as greatly reduced risk of suffering common age-related conditions. You owe it to yourself to investigate the practice of calorie restriction.
Take greater care of your longevity and you will more likely be alive, active and healthy in the decades ahead, ready to benefit from the results of healthy life extension research. The first steps are now being taken in regenerative medicine, the final defeat of cancer, repair of aging immune systems, identification of the root causes of aging, and much more. In years to come, scientists will develop therapies capable of greatly extending the healthy human life span - and will eventually defeat the aging process entirely. Why risk missing out by failing to take better care of your longevity today?
