Speaking of life expectancy, Time has another good article (How To Live To Be 100) on the matter in their most recent issue. As always, it was full of the most recent developments and scientific research in the field as well as some funny anecdotes about about how someone who could be my great-grandmother could beat me at tennis...
Believe it or not (I do not), this is Dr. Jeffry Life, a 72 year old. He's the face of Cenegenics, a medical institute that promotes "healthy aging". I say it's just creepy- and I choose to believe Photoshop was involved. But maybe that's just my pride talking.
If you need something to get that image out of your mind*, check out another article in Time from last year on the possibility of the first centenarian generation. It's much cooler than Benjamin Button's weird cousin.
(*Actually, it's probably too late.)
When (Margaret Dell) was in her 80s, she played in a doubles tournament that required that the ages of both partners add up to at least 100. Her partner was in his early 20s; they won the tournament.Now that's working the system! The article was all well and good until I flipped the page and saw this guy...

Actually it is real. Only professional make-up like they use with the supermodels. I actually know dr. Life and work for the company that records the lectures he gives for the Age Management Medicine Group so I have heard him give lectures too. He is the real deal and being 50 years older than me he is a really inspiring to me. Kinda like, "if this old guy can do it I can do it better."
As far as Cenegenics goes ... well, its good medicine but only the wealthy can afford it. The average Cenegenics patient pays somewhere around 15K per year. But like Dr. Life says in his book, the problem is the system. We need to prevent disease, not treat it as it manifests. If healthcare, insurance, and doctors everywhere embraced this than we would all be much healthier and for probably cheaper in the long run.
I don't know why his picture creeps you out. You would rather that your grandpa be decrepit and unable to even enjoy an easy game of tennis with you? I sure hope not. If Dr. Life were my grandpa I would be thrilled, being able to have intense workouts with him and he would regularly out do me at 24 years old! My Grandpa is actually pretty good but he is 20 years older than Dr. Life. I actually did workout with my Grandpa until I was 14.
