The dietary and lifestyle diseases that kill most people and or cause people to suffer in poor health needlessly for the last 20% of their life are shown in the graph below. Virtually all of these could be prevented through an understanding and application of optimal lifestyle and diet.

While the average human lifespan currently ranges between 75 to 80 years, the possibility of extending life to 120 years or beyond has been a topic of scientific exploration. Several reputable scientists suggest that, with appropriate lifestyle choices, achieving such longevity may be feasible.

Scientists Who Believe in the Possiibility of Extended Lifespans

• Dr. David Sinclair, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, has conducted extensive research on aging. He posits that it's possible to reset the body's age and potentially extend human lifespan significantly. In a 2023 interview, Sinclair stated, "In this paper, we're showing it's possible to reset the age of the body up to as much as 50 percent." (Source)
• Dr. Steven Austad, an expert in aging, believes that living beyond 120 years is attainable. He has engaged in academic discussions about the potential for humans to reach 150 years, citing ongoing research and advancements in understanding the aging process. (Source)
• Dr. Ernst von Schwarz, a cardiologist and stem cell researcher, has expressed optimism about extending human lifespan through medical innovations. He suggests that, thanks to stem cell research, humans could potentially live up to 150 years by the end of this century. (Source)

While these perspectives are promising, it's important to recognize that extending human lifespan to 120 years or beyond involves genetics and environment plus lifestyle and diet. Achieving such longevity awaits pioneers and many years before acceptance of the necessary course by the masses.

Body Maintenance is a Choice

Why is dying at 75 to 80 the defacto choice for most people? And why is it that highly educated people and wealthy people tend to add a decade to those numbers?

• Studies have found that the richest American men live approximately 15 years longer than the poorest men, while the richest women live about 10 years longer than their poorest counterparts.

The answer is lower rates of smoking and healthier dietary habits. In other words, they do a better job at keeping their bodies from being deficient in nutrients and filled with toxins. Health always boils down to being free from toxicities and deficiencies.

• For instance, there are 47 years with the biological age of 18, 65 year olds with the biological of 40.
• Unfortunately, normalcy bias is so powerful that virtually everyone plans for most of their life to die between 75 to 80 years of age.
• They think of 90 year olds as being anomolies.
• And, as with everything in life, what you believe, IE, whether you believe you can or can't, you're right.

We do know that what kills the majority of people in our modern era are diet and lifestyle caused diseases (cancer, heart disease, respiratory diseases, strokes, Alzheimer's, Diabetes, and kidney disease).

So living the lifestyle that creates those lifestyle diseases is just about as stupid as allowing car to stop working because one doesn't believe it's important to change engine oil or maintain correct tire pressure.

Worse than early death, lifestyle-caused diseases cause the majority of people to experience a very low quality of health for the final twenty percent of their years of life and lose the splendit joy of the retirement years when they could be enjoying their lives without the pressure of work.

Suffering and dying of those diet and lifestyle caused diseases is becoming totally optional for people alive today because each person could choose a lifestyle and diet that would give a different outcome. It is ignorance of what are those better lifestyles and diets (as Hosea in the Bible said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge".

And, as always is the case with new paradigms, don't let the nay-sayers stop you from doing what many others are doing, IE, living in perfect health into their one hundreds.

Do You Want to Choose a Different Way?

The truth is that many anti-aging experts are aging backwards, that is getting younger biologically, not older. Many believe that they will live for many hundreds of years, but they are very strict about a couple of things:

• Sleeping eight hours every night
• Maintaining very low blood sugar
• Having an eating window of less than eight hours a day so that their body can detoxify itself and repair itself optimally daily
• Maintaining excellent muscle strength
• Utilizing supplements to ensure that they have no nutrient deficiencies

Everyone has to determine for themselves if a long and healthy life is worth the discipline it will take to achieve, or if they want to get chronically ill and die at a normal age like most everyone else.

We hope that your goal is to live in a biologically young body for a very long time — for your body to work the way it should, without pain and without lack of energy, all the way to your last telomere. The way to achieve that goal is to implement the Six Habits of Health.

Don't Delay to Implement the Six Habits of Health

• Unfortunately, for every month you delay to implement these six habits of health you will likely be losing from 2 to 7 days of healthy life that you could have had, but will forfeit.
• Those forfeited days just keep adding up. After just 5 years of delay, that's from 120 to 420 healthy days of enjoying life to the maximum that you'll never be able to get back.
• or if you wait 10 years to implement better lifestyle choices that's 240 to 840 healthy days that are gone from your future. In your later years, you would pay almost anything to get just a few more weeks or months of healthy living.

If you're on the road going to pain, suffering, and early death, we suggest that you back up fast! Once your health starts to diminish, you could take that as a wake-up call that if you don't turn around, you will have the regret of knowing your life and health could have been different if you had chosen to take better care of your body. Again, if you don't like the end of the road you're on, it's time to backup fast and choose a different road.

Although, accidents cause pain and there are never any guarantees in life, longevity and nutritional scientists have proven that slowing aging is possible for virtually anyone, at any age. Thankfully, the same lifestyle and dietary habits that slow aging also slow the onset of poor health and pain and suffering that go with poor health. So, instead of saying we want to live longer, our goal is really to live healthier.

Good Health Exists Where People Live the Six Habits of Health

There are many places around the world where people do not suffer the health problems that are common in industrialized countries. None of the causes of death listed above are known there. Instead, they simply die in their sleep, very late chronologically in life. The kind of health problems most people have really boil down to not having healthy cells, tissues, and organs.
