How to live to 100... in eight simple steps
1 Eat your greens – no fewer than two portions of vegetables at least twice a day
2 Eat 10 eggs a week because they fill you up and are rich in protein
3 Take a handful of nuts – the original super food every day
4 Eat a small portion of extra virgin olive oil every day
5 Don’t be afraid of fat, but sugar and refined carbohydrates, like white bread, are the enemy
6 Stop counting calories as they do not reflect nutritional value
7 Keep active – walking is best and exercise should be for health not weight loss
8 Once a week fast for 24 hours if possible
9. There’s no democrats in the village of Pioppi.
My banana bread breakfast this morning has both. Oh well.
Eat yoghurt? That’s what the commercial said.
I plan to live 120 satisfied years thriving and in good health. My secret? Resting in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Eat your meat – no fewer than two portions of beef or pork at least twice a day
2 Eat 10 eggs a week because they fill you up and are rich in protein
3 Take a handful of m&ms – the original super food every day
4 Eat a small portion of healthy food every week
5 Don’t be afraid of fat . . . get plump if you enjoy food as part of enjoying life.
6 Stop counting calories . . . just eat them.
7 Keep active – walking to the kitchen is best and exercise should be for cooking and eating not weight loss
8 Once a day fast for 8 hours if possible
I thought the healthiest, longest lived people were supposed to be in some part of Japan, and it was because they ate a sweet potato high in hyaluronic acid.
Before that, in the ‘70s, it was the Hunza people.
The most tragic thing is to desire a long life on earth just to lose out on an eternity in heaven because one refuses to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Once one accepts Christ, desiring a long life on earth is not even on the list of one’s desires.
It would be like wanting to spend more time at the bus stop in 30 below zero weather instead of hoping the bus shows up early today or at least on time.
I remember back in college in the 70s seeing an interview by an anthropologist in a remote Andes village with a man who was reputed to be well over 100. Speaking through an interpreter he asked the man what his secret of living so long as the man was digging potatoes. The old man asked why he wanted to know. “So I can tell other people and they can live as long as you”. The old man thought about that and said “Why would anyone want to be as old as me?” then went back to digging his potatoes.
Forgot:
genetics
family life
pace of life
attitude of Italians toward other people
coffee several times a day with friends/family.
3. Take a handful of nuts – but keep the other hand up covering yourself against a potential counterpunch...

Pay God a lot of money to forestall His appointed time for you- down deal
A servant was in a market one day- saw a hooded figure, who turned and looked at him and scared him silly-
The servant ran to his master and said “Master- you have to help- I saw death, he looked at me, I need a fast horse to flee”
Master said “Certainly, here, ride to Samaria” Servant takes off lickity split
Master goes to market sees death and asks “Why did you scare3 my servant?”
Death said “Sorry- didn’t mean to- I was just surprised to see him here, I have an appointment with him in Samaria tomorrow”
Five Minutes After I Die
Loved ones will weep o’er my silent face,
Dear ones will clasp me in sad embrace
Shadows and darkness will fill the place,
Five minutes after I die.
Faces that sorrow I will not see,
Voices that murmur will not reach me
But where, oh where will my spirit be?
Five minutes after I die.
Here I have rested and roved and ranged
Here I have cherished and grown estranged
There and then it will all be changed,
Five minutes after I die.
Naught to repair the good I lack
Fixed to the goal of my chosen track,
No room to repent, no turning back
Five minutes after I die.
Mated for aye with my chosen throng
Long is eternity, O so long
Then woe is me if my soul be wrong,
Five minutes after I die.

Another village we are supposed to emulate due to longivity of the people? How many villages does that make over the years.
Some village in the Caucus area of Russia and Vilcabamba Equador were the hot spots forty years ago. Peace and harmony, close to nature, Shangri-Las on earth, and such nonsense.

Hey, two out of eight ain’t bad.
About 18 months ago I changed my diet from vegan to ketogenic.
The results were amazing.
After 6 months, my blood work was off the charts good. Cholesterol 117, triglycerides from 398 to 50, blood pressure from 130’s/80’s down to 100/60 and I eat like a pig and do not exercise.
I do love to hike and hike regularly in the mountains but I do not consider that exercise. It’s fun. My 86 year old mother who cannot really exercise transitioned to the keto diet and is losing weight w/o lifting a finger.
Weight management is 99% diet and 1% exercise.
I eat zero sugar and carbs, no dairy, no cheese but tons of butter as much as I want. Most days I eat over a half stick of butter and sometimes more.I am never ever hungry and these days I have to fight with myself to eat at least 2000 calories. With keto it is really easy to forget eating. You are never hungry.
First, live to 99.
Then go one more year.
I remember Steve Martin had a sketch about how to make a million dollars and never pay taxes.
He said:
“First, make a million dollars”
“then when the tax man comes simply say ‘I forgot’”
Have good genes.
I remember my mom commenting on an article predicting a 200-year lifespan in the future. She said “Who wants to be a little old lady for 130 years?”
She made 95, BTW.
