Do you really want to be a hundred years old?
Without thinking the answer would be YES. But if you take some time to think about it, the answer becomes "yes, but..."
We live in extraordinary times where medicine and technology are performing wonders that could have been attributed to science fiction films just a few years ago. We're living longer and longer, it’s a fact. 25% increase in life expectancy in 70 years for women (see graph below).
Life expectancy of women at different ages since 1947...
Science patches us up like little puppets or gives us drugs to keep us alive. When I see my grandparents forced to swallow dozens of pills a day, it makes me think.
Or rather, it reinforces my belief in the importance of nutrition, mental and physical activities in our lives. As Christopher McDougall says, "You don't stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running." It's the same thing with the brain, if you stop working it, it declines.
Take care of your body and your brain right now. Do physical activities several times a week, read books, challenge yourself intellectually... We are so lucky to have everything we have at our disposal for this.

What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up film from the creators of the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy. The film exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick.
