Watching an interesting show. “Morgan Freeman’s Through the Wormhole.” It’s a fascinating show about indefinitely extending longevity. The show started out by stating that human life expectancy has doubled from 40 years to approximately 80 years over the past 200 years due to medical breakthroughs. But this often quoted statistic ignores an important detail. Over one hundred years ago, in 1900, if you lived to 45, you had a good chance of living to 70. A person today who lives to 45 can expect to live to age 76. Therefore, using this perspective, we’ve only seen a six year gain in life expectancy over the past century. In fact, we are now anticipating a shorter life expectancy in the coming generations, because of the epidemic of obesity and its associated diseases. We can reverse this trend with the right eating and lifestyle choices. www.ahealthytomorrow.org
