Smart, Strong and Sexy at 100?: New skin. New hair. New YOU... 7 simple Steps to thrive at 100... and beyond.
I have been a health and fitness enthusiast since around 1965. By 1974, I developed a strong interest in, and an aversion to aging. Sure, I was still young, fit and "invincible," but I saw my grandparents declining rapidly, and my parents, aunts and uncles were visibly aging and slowing down as well. I figured if I could live to 100, medical technology would have figured out how to "cure" aging. Fast forward to today, and it looks like my guess was uncanningly accurate... if not conservative. It may have been wishful thinking then, but now it's supported by many world-class researchers who are on the cutting-edge of emerging world-changing biomedical breakthroughs. Going back to 1978, my invincibility turned out to be a bit overblown. I suffered a paralyzing spinal cord injury which turned my life upside down to say the least. After a long period of readjustment, I realized just how fragile we meat bags are. We can be brought to our knees... or even terminated in a blink of an eye. Most are luckier than that. But we all eventually deteriorate over time, no matter how we try to stem the tide. Currently, life is a game you can NOT ultimately win if survival and reaching your full potential are goals. Sooner or later it ends, either comfortably at a ripe old age (for the minority who are "lucky") or with prolonged deterioration and suffering! One day in your life will be the last time you do something you cherish. Life will turn upside down. For the first time, you will not be able to do what you could easily have done just a few days, weeks or months earlier. I can tell you from experience this is a tough pill to swallow. You try over-and-over. I did, really HARD. But then you finally realize, you just can't anymore... you're TOO OLD! We all know how true this is, don't we? But we wouldn't have much to look forward to if it were our focus. So we do the best we can, ignoring that inevitable reality. It's always been that way. But recently, something happened that changes the whole model. (I explain that "something" in the pages ofSmart, Strong and Sexy at 100?) What if, after thousands of years of dreaming of perpetual youth, humanity finally avoids suffering, disease and all the negative side effects of aging? What if we could actually enjoy open-ended youthful lifespans? These questions drove me to...search out the best minds in all the disparate fields related to aginggather as much of their knowledge as possibleconnect the dotsform a dream team of researchers and...merge all their information with that special something I mentioned two paragraphs ago.Some people say my half a lifetime of research and experience in the field of wellness and longevity qualifies me as an authority on the subject. I don't know about that, but I do know lots of people come to me for advice. So rather than trying to answer questions one-on-one to an ever-expanding audience, I decided to write a simple yet comprehensive book anyone can understand. It describes in lay terms how and why many of us will actually achieve open-ended vitality and independence. It also shows you how you can improve your odds of being one of that lucky group by applying what we know today. So whether you want to simply avoid sickness and disease and live your life to the max... or whether you're ready to take a leap into an exciting open-ended future,Smart, Strong and Sexy at 100is your key. More life,Dave
