Introduction
Longevity. Living for as long as possible is a fervent desire of most people. As humans, we crave this on two levels.
Our primitive brain, at its core, is intent on keeping us alive. The unconscious and instinctive actions that our brain and body exhibit revolve around continuing our existence. We fight for breath, and life, without having to think about it.
On a more conscious, thinking level, most of us want an extended lifespan even more. For some, it can be all-consuming, although it may be confused with ‘staying young’.
It can be hard to separate the desire for eternal youth from a wish for an extended lifespan. Youthfulness and vitality as we age is a very general desire, as shown by the multi-billions spent on products and procedures that provide any semblance of it.
When we do think about it, the big question is always, “how?”
There are many factors that contribute to our lifespan. Some are beyond our control, but many can be greatly influenced by our own actions.
This eBook answers questions about extending your lifespan and discusses some of the biggest variables. You will learn about those factors that can add years to your life or shorten it.
The areas of discussion are those over which you can exercise some degree of influence by your actions and behaviors, if you choose to do so.
