Any child of today who hopes to live into the 22nd century without the aid of medical miracles should look to the past, and consider the lessons today's centenarians took from the 19th century. There's a poetry of common sense in their scheme for immortality. Eat sensibly. Keep walking. Keep knitting. If you can't keep friends, make new ones. Plan so much invigorating work that there's just no time to die. And no regret when you do.

Interesting article.
Once upon a time I wasn't objectionable to the notion of turning the big "C" - I was curious about how it was all gonna turn out. Not so much anymore.

Possibly another modern medicine you don't need, like mammograms and colonoscopy's, and stuff.

My Great-Great-Grand Father who was born in 1823 was known to drink more than his share of bourbon whiskey throughout his life . Around 1875 a local doctor was examining him for some minor complaint and told him as an aside that at the rate he was going whiskey was going to kill him eventually . Well , Great-Great Grandpa lived to be 100 years old and died when he fell off his horse while crossing a creek in 1923 . Of course he was drunk at the time .
