Can You Really Live To 150 Years Old?

The question is, Can You Really Live To 150 Years Old? The honest, scientific, and encouraging answer is YES! Jeanne Calment of France made it to 122 and she wasn't even really trying. She did do certain things right though. She was not obese and ate the way the French people eat, which is very modestly. France is the only country I have visited that eats right. Their portions are small. You don't feel full after you eat out at a French Restaurant. In fact, I felt a little ripped off because you pay a high price in the restaurants for not a whole lot of food, but that's the American mindset. Our dinners here come on large oval platters. In France, they come on little plates that look like they don't have much on them. Before I knew of Jeanne Calment, if you had asked me to guess the country of the longest living person, I would have guessed France. To me it is obvious why.
So to make it to 150, you just have to do twenty percent better then Jeanne Calment did. Their is a large body of researchers and interested citizens who are working on beating Jeanne Calment's record. You will see that record broken in this century, and it is thought that the first person to live longer than 150 is alive and well today. So did Jeanne Calment have any other secrets? She did also live a stress free life. Her husband was wealthy, so she did not have to worry about money or working for a living. She also kept active and liked tennis and swimming for sports. She also had a fondness for chocolates and red wine, and it is reported that she smoked cigarettes until she was 117. It's different in France though. A fondness for chocolates means she enjoyed them modestly. In America, a fondness for chocolates means you eat the whole box in one sitting. When I was a boy, and a girl got a box of chocolates for Valentine's day, it meant she might have one of them a week as a special rememberence of the love of the one who gave them to her. Nowadays, a box of chocolates represents a high calorie one or two day binge fest on stuffing down chocolates. Times have changed.
Animal studies confirm and support the extrapolations of our 150 year lifespan potential. After a person reaches that age, the world will believe it's possible. Until then, those of us who already believe it are actively working on getting there every day.
