These are the notes from How To Live To Be 100 by H Schuster, MD, from a

talk last Saturday in NYC.

There are about 40, so I won;t post them all at once but in 2 to 3 groups. I

will also add any relevant comments he added in paranthesis) He mentioned there

is at least some if not some good data for each one but didnt give the

references

1) Be Lucky and Blessed (He said no matter how healthy you live, you could

always get hit by a car tommorrow. He also said with the recent tragedies with

the Tsunami and the Hurricanes and 9/11, that you never know)

2) Have Good Genes

3) Have parents & grandparents who live to be 80; He said most centarians have

parents who lived longed also.

4) Be Aware of your family tree and what diseases run in your family. He said

this was so you know what " precention to focus on " and he talked alittle about

the human genome project..

5) No Smoking ( he says this one of the main reasons we live longer today and

for the decline in Heart Disease rates)

6) Married; Married people live 7 years longer

7) Live In Utah He said he thought is was maybe because mormons dont smoke. I

said maybe because they can get married many times (polygamy). :)

8) Education; Both being educated and keeping your mind " exercising " asyou get

older.

9) Exercise: Any type, at least 4 days a week

10) Wear Seatbelts & Dont Drink and Drive

11) Wear Helmets: Biking, Skiiing, snowboarding, motortcycle, etc

12) Religion: Going to church or synagogue adds 7 years to your life. He said

he wasnt sure if it was because maybe by going to church your compelled to live

healthier (not to smoke or drink) or because someone is watching over you. :)

The next few are diet and Lipids so I will group them together.
