Let me ask you a question.\u00a0 How long do you want to live?<\/p>\n
I know that sounds like a question that has a pretty obvious answer.\u00a0 Namely, as long as possible, right?\u00a0 Well maybe not.\u00a0 Let me tell you about a conversation I had with a very good friend the other day.<\/p>\n
We were catching up, he has been a friend since college, and I was telling him about writing a free report I just finished; “The Centenarian Diet”.\u00a0 He asked me what it was about and I told him it was about what to eat to lose weight quickly but it was based on the way the healthiest and longest living people in the world eat. He said he had a discussion with his wife recently and she said she had no desire to live too long as she looked at her bedridden father and mother.<\/p>\n
That kinda threw me for a loop\u2026<\/p>\n
Probably just like you, I don\u2019t picture myself bedridden in my later years.\u00a0 I explained to him that this report was about what people do to be active as they age.\u00a0 I bet that is your goal also.<\/p>\n
But it got me to thinking that my friend\u2019s wife has a point.\u00a0 How we age is important.\u00a0 If you look at these two women, who are just about the same age, their situations are very different.<\/p>\n
