If you cannot spend at least several hours every day doing something for no other reason than you want to do it, then I consider that slavery. Drop commitments like they are poison. Avoid spending yourself into slavery (see below). Absolutely do your own thing and not what anyone else thinks you should do, whether that anyone is society, your family, or your partner.

high carbohydrate meal later in the day. In the other group of mice, the a high carbohydrate meal is consumed early in the day and a high fat meal later in the day. Most of us tend to eat more fat later in the day at the big meals, so we are like the early-carb / late-fat mice.

Do You Want To Live Longer?

by Stephen Mills July 24, 2010

I think the key is where the emphasis lies; whether it is on the word live or on the word longer. People are concerned about quality of life in old age; things like losing their health, losing their mind, and losing their ability to live independently. I don’t want to live like that either. Those humans who live to a very advanced age, like the current record holder Jeanne Calmet who died in 1997 at the age of 122, don’t just live longer; they age slower. They stay healthy, vibrant, alert, and independent into advanced ages. Jeanne was still riding her bicycle at 100, a good 20 years after the average woman has already died.

How to Live Longer Part I

by Stephen Mills July 18, 2009

But in the meantime I know most of you won’t, so here are the first 10 simple ways to live longer. Some of the ways the book listed these don’t make sense to me so I’m making a few modifications. Other than that, I’m supplying them right out of the book and after part V, I’ll give some of my own ideas.

A Paleolithic diet of natural whole food would contain a potassium-sodium ratio of about 17 to 1. A modern American diet contains a ratio of about 1 to 1.7. Do I really need to say any more?

You wouldn’t put diesel fuel in a rocket or rocket fuel in a truck. They each were made to run on a certain kind of fuel and so are you. If you put poor quality fuel into your body, you are going to have a poor result. One result will be a lack of energy, or in any case a less than optimal amount of energy. Remember, you are essentially drugging your body every time you eat. Put in good drugs.

You need to energy to be successful. Your brain and the rest of your body run on energy. What happens in one part of you body impacts the rest of it. Mental exhaustion is really just physical exhaustion occurring in one part of your body. It saps the strength and energy from other parts. You might not think physical energy matters that much, especially if you are more intellectually oriented. But it matters and I think it matters a great deal.
