Scientist estimate that if a person follows this restricted calorie regiment all their life, they could increase their lifespan to around 150 years. The regiment calls for a diet that is very high in nutrients but very low in calories. Scientist have proven this works with several animals and insects. Every animal or insect they have tried this with has shown the same relative increase in life span. It seems that it is a universal phenomenon. Scientist see no reason for this not to work with humans. This news article tells that scientist are figuring out the mechanism that brings about the increased lifespan. It is very possible that they will figure out a way to increase the life span without the need to restrict calories. My question is, what kind of condition would we be in if we lived to 150. If I could not do much, I do not see the point of living that long. I might feel different though as I get older.

Maybe there is an analogy in that if you train to run a four or five minute mile, even if you never have to do that, you will be much fitter to face life's demands, healthier and probably happier. To a lesser extent, if you train to run a six or seven minute mile.... Any change to a healthier lifestyle increases the risk of your living longer. (!)

We all can live a longer, happier life if we learn to deny ourselves to the many things that are destructive to our mind and body. We are told to deny ourselves in the book of Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth: B.I.B.L.E.

Kenika- "We are told to deny ourselves in the book of Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth: B.I.B.L.E."

The living longer has nothing to do with the Bible or God.

Fill the body with the spirit of the earth
