"U.S.News and World Report" published a special issue on February 2010 on "Age 100" as milestone to be centenarians. Page 34: Photo of an aging lady with photo of a Manchurian official with robe in office as the background. My grandparents were officials for Qing Dynasty.(1644-1911)
The following items are similar or identical to my past blogs:
1.Below normal intake of calories to slow aging and extend life span. (70% at best.)
2.Laugh a lot. Laughter begets longevity.
3.Exercise: Building longer telomeres,the tiny units of DNA that cap the end of chromosomes.
4.Radiating love of life with sense of humor as a disciple of Mark Twain.
5.Good genes from active stock such as Laozi's spartan lifestyle.
6.Strong spiritual faith with meditation and contemplation. Prayers are answered.
7.Traveling: To Shanghai several times per year to reminisce the heritage. Use public transportation such as bus and subways for physical needs.
8.Engaging in creative pursuits such as blogging for intellectual delight.
9.Aging well with realistic attitude to develop aesthetics for all things.
10.Lots of fruits and veggies with flavor.
