Interesting medical advice - for a longer life, simply get older ;-)
- aesh2Xa1 6y agoThat's quite a cheeky aphorism. I love it. I think that OP meant to ask "is it possible your perception has changed with age/experience, rather than with your methods?"
- lifeisstillgood 6y agoYes :-) But as I get older I notice there is very little difference between doing something for years and converging my perception to believe what i have been doing was worthwhile. So i should choose carefully. I have also noticed that whatever defaults i left childhood with are ridiculously hard to change.
- polynomial 6y agoIn this respect, it turns out that birthdays are extremely healthy— those who have the most of them tend to live the longest.
- whiddershins 6y agoIt is true though, that the longer you live, the longer your life expectancy.
- K0SM0S 6y agoIndeed and yet, paradoxically, living longer is quite literally what's killing you¹... 1: Cells have two ultimate fates: they either fail to resist cancer or, if they succeed, eventually die of doing it, sort of wear-and-tear, i.e. "ageing" as we call it. Lookup telomeres and cancer. Therein lies the recent hype/hope of increasing human life expectancy by a lot, perhaps orders of magnitude.
