I just turned 45… 20 years in a row. I mean, I’m old enough to get Medicare, but frankly, I don’t need it, and I don’t plan on using it. I have plans to keep him healthy, energetic and spirited until he is 104.
If you want to do the same, follow these three simple rules.
1. Don’t die for stupidity
That’s the advice of Dr. William Kapp, co-founder and CEO of Fountain Life, a pioneer in precision medicine. Dr. Kapp says most of the diseases that afflict older people, such as heart, lung, brain and various types of cancer, are usually not discovered until it’s too late to treat them. disappointing!
I like to joke that they did a brain scan of mine and found nothing.
That’s why Fountain Life conducts a half-day exhaustive annual health review of its members, sequencing their genomes, scanning their brains, lungs and hearts, and performing some of the most complex blood tests available today. ing.

Now that your body is ready, let’s talk about your spirit. Banish loneliness. Step out of your home, comfort zone, or Zoom room and serve her one-on-one with someone who can tap into your attentiveness, wisdom, and sense of humor.
Volunteer at a hospital or school. Walk around the park and say hello to people. (That will surprise them!) Buy a plane ticket and go see an old friend. Write a thank you letter to someone and give it to that person. See how much better you both feel.
Being “sociable” used to mean being social. Today that means antisocial. How boring. We currently live with the greatest communication tool in human history, literally at our fingertips. Nevertheless, we hide behind screens… at work, on walks, in coffee shops, in yoga, and for some, even during sex. (Don’t ask me how I know that.)
Email, texting, Whatsapp, and other options have made calling just to hear and check in as tedious and antiquated as black people.-and-white film. You have a really great app on your phone. It’s called… wait… phone.actually you called who?And it was real live, real time conversationLoneliness may be the most deadly stupid thing to do.
2. Don’t Assist Death
This guidance comes from Strategic Coach CEO Dan Sullivan. To motivate his highly successful entrepreneurial clients to grow, seek new horizons, and bring greater levels of excitement, contribution, success, and satisfaction into their lives, he has built a brilliant new 25 He says he needs to make a yearly plan.
That’s right, a 25-year plan. Otherwise, we are essentially preparing ourselves and our minds for an early demise. Dan’s overall plan is for him to live to be 153 years old. Someone asked him if he would be disappointed if he didn’t live. he must laugh

In contrast, those who retire unplanned often face the “three D’s” of divorce, depression and death within a year of acquiring a gold watch.

It’s hard to go from Dr. Frederick Jones giving orders in the operating room to just Fred figuring out how to fill his spare time. If you don’t have plans for 2.0, you’d better call someone with a shovel.
And stop saying “I’m too old”. I can’t go back to being this young again! Colonel Harlan Sanders sold the first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise at age 70. Giuseppi Verdi was still composing legendary operas well into his 80s. Warren Buffett is still investing at age 92. Tony Bennett was still singing well into his 90s. Architect Philip Johnson retired at the age of 97.
And comedian George Burns continued to act well into his 90s. He joked that his doctor told him to stop smoking cigars. what happened? “My doctor died,” Barnes said with a laugh.
Why have these people been so successful for so long? It’s not just “good genes.” Because they didn’t care what their calendars or what their well-meaning loved ones and friends suggested, they did what they liked. You can always get involved in politics. These days, Democrats seem to have a new cry: “Don’t trust anyone under 80.”
3. Don’t play your age
I ran my 10th Boston Marathon and 43rd distance race (marathon, half marathon, triathlon) this past April and am continuing my training for my 11th in April next year. But isn’t that bad for your joints? I’ll tell you what’s bad for your joints. haven’t used them.

If that number isn’t decades younger than your actual age, go straight to the gym, don’t pass Go, and don’t collect $200.
Avoid people who talk about physical illness, money problems, ungrateful grandchildren, or anything else negative. Surround yourself with people who act and think young, generous, mature and grateful. If someone tries to get you into a “hard time” story, run away from them and get to work for the day. Decide how old you want to be. myself? 104. Cause of death? Shot in bed by a jealous lover.
Mark Twain said, “We don’t need new friends until old friends die.” Well, if you’re going to live to be 100 or beyond, you’re going to need new friends. Because you will outlive your old boring friends.
