Can you summarize this in a 5 sentence paragraph.

[KeyLargo]

Get. Ack tome when you have the Readers Digest version.

[tinyowl]

it costs very little each day cover the bases with a Pharmacy Grade (NOT FOOD GRADE!) MultiVit and a few others (I do Omegas and Magnesium, then eat spinach and nuts an oats and fruit and meats and other stuff like that as much as possible.)

Very easy, very inexpensive. Even if you eat lots of crap, you can at least supplement the crap by making sure you also cover the bases.

Or ... go ahead and die early! Woohoo!

I know what you mean. I don’t want to spend what time I have left reading this one article.

“Can you summarize this in a 5 sentence paragraph.”

“In conclusion, in addition to keeping physically fit, the low-hanging fruit in prolonging a healthy aging lies in”

...taking vitamins/minerals (and a few other supplements he lists). His theory is that is you always have plentiful levels of vitamins/minerals, the body will optimize for longevity, rather than just survival.

Do you also need the large print version?

PS thanks for posting ... I admittedly skimmed some sections but read all of the important stuff. It surprises me that people don’t pay more attention to this stuff. I get it, it can be boring, but there’s nothing boring about living an extra 20 years, with a happy healthy body. You can’t guarantee it, but you can probably do enough that in most cases you buy yourself a hell of a lot of extra years not to mention feel way better each moment today.

Do all those news articles that Drudge keeps linking which claim vitamins are useless and a waste of money are incorrect?

I wonder how much genetics have to do with how you age. My dad has a completely unscientific theory: when a person is develops slowly, they age slowly as well. He was a “late bloomer” but has always looked younger than he was. My mom looks young for her age as well.

He thinks that some people just mature/age more slowly than others. Perhaps some are genetically wired to have telomeres that shorten more slowly than others.
