How to Live Beyond 100: Twelve Lessons from the People Who Did It

By Peter Pen

I have always wondered that if our aim is to achieve optimum health and greater longevity then why don't we seek advice from the people who actually did it? Instead, our common approach to the problem is to take health counsel from plethora of articles available on internet written by food and drug authorities, medical associations, nutritionists, doctors and every tom dick and harry. Much of the same content is shown to us through television and print media. There are two problems with this approach. Firstly, much of the opinion shared by experts is evidently biased due close collusion of healthcare, pharmaceuticals and food industries. Same was exposed in ground breaking Netflix documentary 'What the Health'. Secondly, you will find conflicting opinions about almost everything you would search for. Vegan diet is best - No it's harmful for health. Spinach is full of iron - No spinach causes gout. Butter is best source of good cholesterol - All dairy products lead to heart failure. Fish is boon - Fish is bane. There is so much confusion about healthcare on internet, television and print media that it is difficult to filter through the noise.I believe that the right kind of approach will be to look for common patterns in experiences and practices of people who lived longer and healthier lives. It appears logical that life styles of such people will reveal best practices required for longevity and optimum health. Therefore, I started to research which led to writing of this book. As evident from the title, focus of this book is people who lived beyond hundred years of age - commonly known as centenarians. Hundreds of articles, interviews, related books and research studies were consulted. A set of common patterns in lifestyle of centenarians was identified and same has been elaborated as twelve lessons in this book. I hope that you will enjoy reading this book and it will help you in living a longer, healthier and happier life.
