Live to 150?

I once read an article that said the person that’s going to live to the age of 150 has already been born. Ever the optimist, I immediately thought, “Well, of course, it’s me!” How happy I was to hear Dr. David Sinclair, professor of genetics at Harvard University, say the same thing.

I recently read Dr. Sinclair’s book, “Lifespan: Why we age and Why we don’t have to.” It kicked my butt into gear as far as doing the things required to attain the type of health that gets you to 150 years old — things like a good BMI, biomarkers like blood glucose level within a certain optimal range, taking different supplements, etc.

For every year you live in a healthy state, you increase the chance that a medical breakthrough that will prolong your life will be made available for your use. Additionally, for every year you live in a healthy state, you may in the future be able to gain MORE than an additional year of healthy life with new medical advancements. I highly recommend Dr. Sinclair’s series of podcasts where he and his co-author, Matt LaPlante, review the basic tenets of their book and the research that supports their claims. There are 8 in total that last about an hour each and are full of wisdom for vibrant and healthy living.

Here’s to 150!
