Longevity counts
Balance in all things. Surety of purpose weighed against knowledge and wisdom.
Don’t let them destroy what you have built for your self. Keep pushing CHAMP!

2. An Art Deco longevity door as photographed by Chasing Pattern Girl who decided to apply what she was taught by her friend - that it’s all right to remove bags and letters from the doors for better photos of architecture details
3. An Art Deco longevity door after an inhabitant of the house comes out and asks “Who closed the door?”. I wonder if after all my tricks with sneaking into semi-private spaces I really became an invisible ghost and she can’t see me standing right there, but answer loudly “Me. I’m sorry, I just wanted to take a picture of this extraordinary design”. I hold plastic bag with bills and letters in my hand, think this time I really crossed the line and anticipate a miserable ending when the lady says “A picture! Then let me turn on the light for you”.

How positively lovely is this palm sized brass White Tara figure?! White Tara is often prayed to for improving health, healing and for longevity. She offers healing to our wounds, whether it is our bodies or our minds that have been hurt. In Buddhist tradition, Tara is actually much greater than a goddess — she is a female Buddha, an enlightened one who has attained the highest wisdom capability and compassion.

Aging, stress, yoga and essential oils
Stress is the worst thing ever! You can eat healthy, exercise, take vitamins but if you live in a stressful life you will age and get sick for sure. Have you ever looked at side-by-side photos of a person before and after a particularly trying time in his or her life, for instance, before and a few years after starting a highly demanding job? The person likely appears much older in the later photo. The stress of the job is thought to contribute to the prematurely aged appearance. You might feel stress from work or other aspects of your daily life, too. Stress is everywhere. Even when you feel relaxed, your body is still experiencing considerable stress—biological stress. And, it is this type of stress that is widely studied by gerontologists for its effects on aging and longevity.
How to avid stress?
1) Choose simple life over material things like money, expensive home, cars, cloths, etc…
2) Spend time in nature. Nature is the best therapy! Go for a walk, ride a bike, hug a tree, meditate in the park, go to the beach. Live simple life.
3) Every day no matter how busy your life gets find 10 min to just be in a quiet moment, sit down, practice yoga, meditate, breath. Let the negative stressful energy leave your body and mind. Imagine you are free of stress, you are a pure, loving, beautiful energy. You can listen to a relaxing music, pray, use essential oils, candles, crystals, etc…whatever works for you.
4) Try to eat healthy foods, with more organic veggies, fruits and greens. Get a juice or smoothie, eat salad for lunch. Eat organic, local and fresh. Avoid junk food and anything from a packages!!!
5) Every year go an vacation, so you can relax and just be like a child.
6) Try to forget about your phone, computer, Facebook, or any other social media and just spend the time with your kids, pets, family or friends. Or go for a massage or volunteer at the local animal shelter. Be in the moment. Don’t waste your energy on things that really don’t matter. Life is too short! Enjoy!!!!
7)Practice yoga and meditation, it will teach you how to be in the moment. It’s sound easy but is not!
8)Drink more water! Water is life. Sleep more or take a nap. Use natural remedies like essential oils, herbal teas or acupuncture to help you de-stress.
9) Exercise, take a Zumba class or go biking, go to the gym or swimming in the ocean, whatever it is, move your body!!! We are all lucking of physical movement.
10) Dance, love, jump, live, be happy, live with compassion, give, forgive, no regrets, be the best person you can be. Choose longevity and stress free life. You can do it. It’s all about choices we make every day.
11) Use essential oils they smell good and have many amazing properties : )

How to Diet and Exercise Like the Genius Inventor Nikola Tesla
By Paul Ratner
The inventor Nikola Tesla had one of the most creative and prolific brains humanity has ever produced. He kept working on ingenious projects well into the late years of his life, staying energetic and focused (albeit leading a somewhat ascetic, asexual and aloof life). How did Tesla keep sharp and achieve so much? In a 1933 interview, the 77 year-old Tesla spoke about what kept him going in life.
He believed that it was important to get a good start in life, developing healthy personal habits even as young people -

Why Red Coral and Other Deep Sea Animals Can Live Over 500 Years
If you were a red coral, you’d have enough time to fulfill several bucket lists before you died. Though it’s hard to figure out what you’d put on them.
The red coral, which can live for five hundred years, is one of several marine species that make human lifespans look like a blink of the eye by comparison. In a new study, scientists have honed in on what enables some of these marine species to live for hundreds of years.
The stability of the deep sea environment likely helps deep-dwelling species live longer.
Staying put has its merits as well.
“Being sessile seems to correlate with at least the potential for longevity in marine animals as well as terrestrial plants,” Doak says.
Another factor, Monterro-Serra notes, is that these sessile species are clonal. They “form a colony of multiple units that are genetically identical, called polyps in the case of corals and gorgonians.”

Man, this summer was rough. Not only did my arm fall out of its socket, altering my shoulder ever since, but my video producers on the Future You team were unceremoniously laid off WHILE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OVERNIGHT SHOOT. The fallout isn’t quite over yet.
All the while, I was starving and super tired! I had to eat right and exercise more, for work. An actual exchange at Harvard Med:

Too Much Self-confidence Can Endanger Health of seniors
Too Much Self-confidence Can Endanger Health of seniors
Older people who overestimate their health go to the doctor less often. This can have serious consequences for their health, for example, when illnesses are detected too late. By contrast, people who think they are sicker than they actually are visit the doctor more often. This is what a new study by Sonja Spitzer from the Institute for Demography at the University of Vienna and Mujaheed Shaikh…
Louis-Victor Baillot, the last surviving veteran of the Battle of Waterloo, died on February 3, 1898, at the age of 104. In an interesting coincidence, the longest-lived Napoleonic Wars veteran, Geert Adriaans Boomgaard, died exactly one year later, on February 3, 1899, at the age of 110.

Figure 1: The workstation of the future (we should hope). The human body is designed for standing, not sitting. Standing not only improves balance and strengthens the legs, but is also better for your back. For you fitness fanatics, note that standing burns more calories than sitting. Moreover, recent studies have found that individuals who sit for greater periods (as compared with people who stand) have a much higher chance of all-cause-mortality (death), cardiovascular disease, diabetes and a host of other illnesses, irrespective of daily exercise!
Many notable visionaries are renowned for working while standing including; Leonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Winston Churchill & Vladimir Nabokov. Even Isaac Newton famously quoted - “if I have seen farther it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”.
Can’t afford organic food or fancy supplements? Standing is a cheap and efficient way to boost your overall health and longevity - so rise up out of that chair and take a stand for your well being!

If you’re on some form of prescription medication, then the following post may well apply to you; so keep reading!
A recent review published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal has highlighted a disturbing trend in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals which has caused the number of medications with the potential to interact with grapefruit and cause serious adverse effects to increase from 17 to 43 (between 2008 - 2012 alone). This figure represents an average increase of 6 new drugs per year.
How adverse is adverse, you ask? Observed effects include death, acute kidney failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, renal toxicity and other serious side-effects. Unfortunately, there remains a lack of knowledge about this interaction in the general health-care community. Thus, it is up to you to determine whether any of your current (or new) medications are known to interact with the popular dietary fruit.
There are more than 85 drugs that may interact with grapefruit including statins (simvastatin, atorvastatin, & lovastatin) as well as some heart & cancer medication and various antibiotics. So, remember to always check with your physician and pharmacist whether the drug being prescribed to you has any interactions you may need to be aware of, either with foods, supplements or other pharmaceuticals.

With the damaging effect chemotherapy is known to have on the human body, science is investing a lot of time and energy into the development of progressive treatments for cancer. However, it is my belief that effective cancer prevention techniques will always trump any treatment modern medicine can concoct. By following the following steps, we can promote a healthy environment within our bodies in which our cells can combat disease naturally and efficiently.
- Optimize your Vitamin D levels.
- Eliminate your intake of processed foods, and limit your intake of fructose & grains.
- Control your fasting insulin & leptin levels (which will come with the elimination of bolus doses of processed carbohydrates, fruits and grains - Step 2)
- Restore your ratio of Omega 3: Omega 6 fats by supplementing with a high quality cod liver oil / krill oil and decreasing consumption of vegetable oils / commercially processed meats & dairy.
- Exercise regularly.
- Get regular, good-quality sleep.
- Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins including pesticides, household cleaners, air fresheners & overall air pollution.
- Avoid cooking your food on high heat. Instead, try boiling, poaching or steaming your foods.
Figure 1 - Propolis, the ‘caulk’ honeybees use to patch holes in their hives.
The buzz on propolis in the scientific community has slowly been reaching an uproar. Researchers are well-aware of the potential of this waxy substance to act as an antioxidant, anti-microbial, analgesic, anesthetic and anti-inflammatory. However, new research has revealed another exciting use for this miraculous natural remedy.
Propolis Slows Tumor Growth
You read right, researchers from the University of Chicago Medical Center have investigated the anti-cancer potential of propolis, focusing on one of it’s bioactive components and it’s impact on human prostate cancer cells.
The Findings:
In cells grown in a lab, even small doses of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) were enough to slow the growth of tumor cells. Similarly, when low oral doses were given to mice with prostate tumors, their tumor growth was slowed by a whopping 50 PERCENT! Moreover, daily consumption of CAPE was able to stop tumor growth entirely in the mice.
Haven’t We Seen This Before?
I have seen at least four other studies on propolis which indicate that it is able to directly kill cancer cells (including prostate cancer & melanoma). Which leads me to agree with the researchers in their claim that the good bioavailability of propolis via the oral route & it’s safety profile makes it an ideal adjuvant agent for future anticancer regimens.
When it comes to cancer, there can be no substitute for effective prevention. However, for those who have jumped aboard the wagon too late in their lives, natural therapies such as propolis may hold future promise in reducing their exposure to toxic forms of therapy such as chemo. I know I will be watching this space with eagerness to see what exciting revelations await us in future.

Tea Tip:
Do you want some variety, without compromising your antioxidant intake? Try a refreshing cup of white tea, instead of your usual green. As white tea leaves are less dense and compact than other varieties, don’t forget to increase the amount of tea leave you normally use. Also note that white tea is the most delicate form of camellia sinensis thus, to avoid ruining the flavour of your cup allow boiling water to sit for about one minute (until the temperature drops to about 76-85 degrees Celsius) before pouring the water over your leaves. Let the tea steep for between 5 - 8 minutes and enjoy!

“The timely question of vacation was enlivened the other day in the ‘Hundred year club’ of New York. Its annual banquet was devoted to the discussion. The man who presided over the banquet was 94 years old, and responses to toasts were made by several who ‘had not tasted tea, coffee or medicine for 50 years.’
The views of such men upon ‘vacation’ as a restorative and means of prolonging life are necessarily of high practical value. The man who has lived to be almost 100 may not be supremely wise in all things, but it must be admitted on all sides that he has ‘staying power.’
Perhaps the most instructive address was by a member who had made a close study of the art of living in this country and in Europe and who declares that Americans try to crowd into one day that to which Europeans would devote two or three days. This habit applies to vacations as well as to work. The European not only takes more vacations than the American, but he leaves all care and thought of work behind him; vacation with him is not a frantic effort to see how much he can see or do in given time; he selects a favored spot, arranges for his special needs, and stays there, resting, happy and contented. He is a stranger to the American habit of flitting from place to place. To him vacation is a different matter from traveling to see the sights.
There is much in this that merits serious consideration by Americans, who are prone to make a hurried, strenuous, nerve-racking affair of a vacation. We have not acquired the fine art of intelligent loafing.
Another venerable speaker advocated tent life as the solution of the problem. He has been ‘a dweller in tents for 50 years’ and claimed that tent dwelling greatly adds to the probability of living a century.
Of course these venerable gentlemen discuss the question only from the standpoint of longevity. It is by no means certain that everybody cares to live 100 years. But it is certain that every sane man desires to live in good health and with fullest strength as long as he does live, and there is no better means of doing this than by sensible vacations interspersed with periods of hard labor.
But any fixed rules for vacation is impossible. The vacation that is most helpful is determined largely by each individual’s employment, temperament, physical condition and the climate and character of the place in which he lives and toils.
It is well worth any man’s while to give serious thought to this subject. It is one of the most important with which he ever has to deal.”
~The Spokane press. (Spokane, Wash.), 13 July 1903. Chronicling America. Lib. of Congress.
What Research is Being Done to Further Youth
Do you want to be young forever? Of course you do. Growing old is an experience that many of those in life can’t skip, can’t avoid- that is, unless our lives end early. Old age shouldn’t be looked down on the way it is now. It is a success to grow old. By growing old you’ve shown impressive self management and survival skills in all honesty. Unfortunately the side effects of growing old - like complications with our health, deteriating minds and bodies - make growing old a burden rather than the boost it should be.
In this day and age, more is possible to us than it was to previous generations. As science progresses and great minds think alike over time, the world has written more goals in the cards for us. One of those goals is figuring out how to stay young forever… or longer than we can now.
“Juvenescence has now raised $165 million in just 18 months to fund longevity projects with the lofty goal of extending human lifespans to 150 years.”
tissue regeneration, reversing aging in animals by adding new DNA instructions to their bodies, stem cell research for tissue and organ rejuvenation, lymph nodes regrowing functioning organs in a patient’s body, developing small molecules to extend life spans, delaying the onset or preventing Alzheimers, Parkinsons disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, and other human-related diseases—THIS AND MORE, is being done to change the world, change OUR LIVES.
‘Extraordinary’ Breakthroughs In Anti-Aging Research 'Will Happen Faster Than People Think’
of course, none of this will matter if we can’t get our planet in order. We have to ensure the long and healthy life of our planet first, and don’t you forget it.
