09-04-2012 00:49 While scientists are still debating the limits to human longevity, current estimates hover somewhere around 120 years based on various studies of cell division. Of course, although most of us will never even get close to that point, this doesn't mean you should be wreckless and stop wearing your seatbelt. Instead, grab yourself a notepad and listen up because these 25 ways you can live a longer life just might give you a shot. Also check out the text version here -

Methuselah lived 969 years during the anti-diluvium. The post-diluvium period witnessed a marked decline in human longevity. The Roman Empire average age for males was 25. When Juan Ponce de lone was searching for the fountain of youth in Florida in the 1530s the average age for a male was 36. When Sir Edmund Halley constructed the first working actuarial tables in 1694 when males average age in England was 47, The Commissioners Standard Operational (CSO) Tables 1941 CSO (Used in the construction of the social security benefit tables 1958 CSO, the first modern mortality tables 1980 CSO, revolutionary extensions in endowment and maturity dates 2001 CSO, present day mortality tables.

18-07-2012 18:23 A peer reviewed journal recently published that buckminsterfullerene C60 actually doubles rat longevity (Baati 2012) (note: only 6 rats were used) At a different study, with n= 155 rats activated carbon has been published as giving rats 36.8 pct greater longevity (Kovtun, AI) Other studies on activated carbon where the number of lab animals is not described online have published longevity gains of 43 pct (Frolkis, W) to 60 pct (Kovtun, AI) 43(as described at a 1996 volume 22(3) Human Physiology review article (Mamai, AV) ) Thus a number of studies, with perhaps hundreds of lab animals, show that some simple form of carbon causes much greater longevity Edible forms of activated carbon are already FDA approved, although not specifically as human longevity drugs. I urge research on oral C60 fullerenes as longevity drugs, as well as further use along with research on activated carbon This research may sound slightly funny, yet thinking of the value of longevity at generally reducing disease I suggest seeing if ordinary charcoal briquettes fed to rats give greater longevity Then the developing world would have a longevity drug that defers most illnesses that developing worlders could easily make If edible charcoal is actually a 40 pct or greater longevity drug, as a number of peer reviewed studies support, then billions of people could easily live longer weller lives Thus I also suggest researchers verify the ...
