Reseña del libro "How To Live The Longest (en Inglés)"
The oldest PROVEN lifespan in the history of man was a woman named Jeanne Calment, who died in France in 1996 at the age of 121 years 164 days. No one else in history has ever been proven to have lived that long, and every one of us is going to die well before the age of 120. Research has shown that our human genes can support an absolute maximum of about 120 years of life. No one alive today will likely live that long. My name is Carl Bourhenne, and 42 years ago I became aware that I am not going to live more than about 120 years. I became determined to live as long as I possibly can, and I've been investigating for the last 42 years how to live the longest life I can. In 1976 I founded the Carl I. Bourhenne Medical Research Foundation to research the best ways to stay youthful, and to live the longest life possible. I received Federal and State tax-exempt status for the Foundation, and I've been researching long life ever since In 1988 I returned to school and earned a Master's Degree in Gerontology (the study of the aging process) from Cal State Dominguez. As of this writing I am a very healthy 82 years old, I have no health problems, I take no medications, I run a mile and a half every day and lift weights four days, and I'm sexually active most days. I feel GREAT all the time! My blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar are always normal. How is your aging going? Feel less vigorous than you did a year ago? Less flexible? Have less energy...a LOT less? Moving a little slower? A LOT slower? Taking longer to think of names, or words? I know how you feel! I used to feel like that. You are probably doing at least some of the things you know you must do to be healthy and to live the longest life that you possibly can; but it is also almost certain that you are NOT doing ALL the things that you must do to live the longest life that you can. All of the changes that you are experiencing will get worse every day for the rest of your life, UNLESS YOU DO SOMETHING TO SLOW THEIR PROGRESS. You will get weaker in the knees and legs, and forget words and names more and more as time goes on. Are you waiting for your youthfulness to return...to feel more like you felt yesterday? YOUR HEALTH AND YOUTHFULNESS WILL NEVER RETURN UNLESS YOU IMPROVE YOUR LIFESTYLE IN CERTAIN NECESSARY WAYS! You CAN get back more strength in your legs and walk more strongly like you used to. You CAN get much of your youthfulness back, if you are willing to do the things that work, and if you don't wait too long! The longer you wait, the less you can get back! If you are not interested in living as long as you can, save yourself some time and stop reading here. If you think you don't need to do anything to live as long as you can, or don't care how long you're going to live, don't bother reading any further.
