hello all ,

100 years ago the average lifespan got people into the mid 40's at best ..for much of history you where old if you lived past 33 ...with periods where the lifespan was in the 20's .

in a very short time the lifespan has doubled and more for many and that is with ending famine for many and better hygien and a long war on pathogens .

here are facts..if you avoid the standard american diet full of processed foods , high amount of salt fat and sugars from unhealthy sources . and eat a mostly plant based diet with small amounts of meat ..and do work that requires you to move . you can easily stay very healthy until you are in your 80's .

and we are in the dark ages of medicine that ignores the bodies natural healing abilities and we live in a world 750000 time more toxic than any generation before ..more of us are just living longer to catch the diseases .

besides a wider amount of knowledge for those who want to eat to be healthy today and in the future and more quality food becoming available ..we are going to see a big push and big breakthroughs in the next 10-20 years that unlock life extension and take away the growing old and withering from the aging process .

so lets say the life spans doubles and more in the next hundred years ..so the possibility is there for many on this board who are under 40 to live into their mid to late hundreds .

so.. how would you change the way you live now ..if the prospect was there for you to live and stay healthy and vital as you "get old" and you avoid the decaying of getting old .

take retirement out of the picture so you will nearly always be able to be productive and earn money ..
now if you are on this board you are probably chipping away at that money part .

personally this was put in my mind in February..and up to that point i had spent my life before that ignoring and abusing my body ..but sense treating it like i want it to last..i have regenerated 99 percent of the damage to my body ..and nearly completely eliminated my back pain..at this point there is stiffness but little pain .

mentally ..oh boy ..there is a lot of stuff i was coping with ..that a had to address head on because there is a lot you will not put up with ..if the thought it mat stiil be there for a hundred years or get in the way of getting to that hundred plus .

it has been a huge factor in getting me to focus and outline and detail my goals ..

life is to long to live without spending every day either getting the most out of life or getting away from the things that prevent you from getting the most out of it.

    It's certainly and interesting topic.

    I think one of humanity's current problems is with ageing elderly, population control and health. You have all these people living longer however still getting those ailments because the technology is not 100% at capacity and we are still popping kids out at a soon to be unsustainable rate without a plan to ship people off to a planetary neighbour yet, the next few years will sure be interesting.

      Colonising space/other planets is probably going to be the answer to over population.

      It's quite exciting that we can live longer, as long as we have quality of life. I go to the gym and eat lots of natural foods. My next step will be to start growing my own food so that I can reduce the toxins in what I consume.

    overpopulation will not be a problem ..right now most women want to do more than be baby machines ..and it shows in declining birth per woman everywhere but parts of africa .

    also in much of the world male births are proffered and there are fewer woman than men ..the population will increase do to longer lifespans ..and living a long healthy life will require earth friendly lifestyles.

    growing our own food will be key ..but it will be impossible for most to grow it all ..but is we stop using highly processed food ..and grow nutrient rich vegetables.. while getting our bulk calories ..rice wheat potatoes ..from the people who grow them..and have a couple chickens .

    but being able to make many of these changes require you not to have to spend most of your waking hours at a job

      Good post. Makes you think.

      I am 55, so if I get my act together maybe I can live into my 90's. My grandma on my mom's side of the family is 93 and still going pretty strong.

      I wonder what Internet marketing will be like in 40 years?

    it won't be considered a seperate thing from any other type of marketing ..it really should not be now ..

    the internet is a media today .. and the media is the message ..

    you can use the internet to do most of your local marketing..or you can use it to connect with customers all over the world ..marketing without the internet is like trying to run a delivery business without vehicles ..you use to beed a business card ..now you need a website a face book page a blog a twitter feed ..

    the next step .. in marketing is crunching together peoples metadata ..buying patterns ..and other information to give people a targeted list of what they should buy ..

    there is no more privacy or anonymity on the web .. everything you write ..email or send over the web is stored somewhere ..the future of it all is there will be no hiding anything .so the future of internet marketing will be to do what you do and be forthright about who you are..and know how to get the attention of those who want to deal with you .

    Artificial intel programs ..will scan the internet fo two things your information and who is interested in it .and people you would be interested in .

    some of this is already happening .
