No, I didn't know that, but it makes for a cool piece of trivia. Did you also know that priestly celibacy is non-Biblical, and based purely on ancient Roman Catholic politics? Proton Soup |

I will appreciate references to some non-kooky books that do not advocate spending money on programs affiliated with their authors. I am not interested in having an "extreme body", squatting 500 lbs, etc etc. However I am interested in being fit, agile, strong, and flexible. My current thinking is that the cornerstone of such an approach is doing lots of low intensity aerobic exercise such as walking, plus calisthenics based strength training. Another cornerstone is staying within the normal weight interval. The third cornerstone is eating only natural and healthy food, according to some definition. To me it means eating no heavily processed foods and no sugar. The fourth is to have a stable life and to not work too much. I am aware that there is some scant evidence that living on calorie restricted diet (1500 or so calories per day all the time) also can help one live longer. But smoehow I have a feeling that such a life is either impossible or not satisfying to me. Right now I eat about 1900-2000 calories per day, walk 100 minutes per day, and my weight is relatively stable for the last 3 weeks. I can live on that but not on much less, I think. Does anyone have any comments or book suggestions? i Aside from proper nutrition and exercise, I think the number one thing most people can do to both improve their health and their enjoyment of life is this: Get enough sleep!!! This gets overlooked a lot in our busy lives, but it's so important to every aspect of health, both physical and emotional. -- -Michelle Levin (Luna) http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick http://www.mindspring.com/~designbyluna |

Does anyone have any comments or book suggestions? i Mice live *twice* as long in captivity if they are given only half as much as they would eat ad libitum. Not only do they live longer but they a physically more active in their older age. Imagine humans doubling their lifespan to 150 years and playing tennis when they are 120 years old. -- Dr. Andrew B.
