Living Past 100

For those of you who want to live past 100 years old, put your hand up. Me neither.
I was watching TV the other day and saw a clip for an upcoming Oprah show about defying age and living past 100. Apparently there is a diet that can help in this process.
My first thought/reaction to this was: why are people so afraid to let themselves age naturally? C'mon. Let your body do what it is supposed to do. This fountain of youth crap is dumb.

Most of this age defying life extension diet comes down to eating healthy. Wow, what a concept. Eating food that is good for you helps you live longer? I hope CNN is on top of this one. The other thing that these people do is calorie restriction. Honestly, I don't have the time to limit my caloric intake. I enjoy food and I enjoy eating good food. I'm not a hoarder when it comes to food and I eat what I know will be good for me. I drink Youth Juice to help me get my essential vitamins and nutrients everyday. Let's be honest, it is almost impossible to get all the servings of fruits and veggies you need in one day. I find I waste more than I actually consume. Since I started drinking the juice I have not been sick.

Aside from that, if I did make it to 100 years old I'd probably be moving slower than molasses in the winter or in a nursing home. Neither of which appeal to me in the least degree. I realized this morning that if I died tomorrow, I'd be okay with it. I'm sure I'd have a lot to answer to for when God judged me but I feel I lived a full life and am proud of my accoplishments. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to die tomorrow. I'd be happy to see retirement and travel a bit more.

I honestly try and live in such a way that if I did die tomorrow I would not have any regrets and feel good about the things I did for myself and others. I never want to walk away from life thinking "I wish I had ________."
