The Fountain of Youth

In his article, Peter Jaret discusses how to eat to a long life. I highly recommend anyone reading this blog to read this article and just think about it. While he starts out discussing different foods that offer longer lives, in the middle of the second page of his argument lies his true discussion: that of calorie restriction. I've heard about this technique for several years, and it seems to be the best way to lead a healthier, happier, longer life.

However, this technique does have it practicality problems. In today's day and age, when people are consuming more calories than ever, it is difficult to expect especially Americans to try to adopt this practice.

All I have to say is read the article. It's really compelling, and whether you decide to adopt the practice or not, it's great to be knowledgeable about an issue that could have a real affect on your life.
