Masturbate daily to lube the prostate and prevent cancer.


Did you know that in medical circles prostate cancer is known as the
priest's disease? It's true.


I thought AIDS was priests' disease these days...


Er, no.

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?

Do not act as an enabler to people who drive you nuts

Boy I like that one!!

I "think" I know what you mean.... but can you expand
on that a bit?

How does one enable people who drive you nuts?

After returning from obesity to normal weight (223/177/180) due to a
eat no crap/eat less/exercise more approach, I am now thinking about
health in general. What I would like to know is, what are the things
that a person can do to maximize their life expectancy/enjoyment of
life via various natural means (no meds). I want to be clear that I
want the maximum life expectancy multiplied by enjoyment of life. So
any regimen that makes me live longer but makes me miserable is not
something that I would like to consider.

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?

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.

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.
