Public Service Announcement - You may be able to live to 150 years old
There’s a Barbara Walters special on Tuesday night about living to 150:
Live to be 150 - can you do it?
The piece features a biotech company called Sirtris:
From the site:
Sirtris Pharmaceuticals™ (NASDAQ: SIRT) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing proprietary, orally available, small molecule drugs with the potential to treat diseases associated with aging, including metabolic diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes. Our drug candidates are designed to mimic certain beneficial health effects of calorie restriction, without requiring a change in eating habits, by activation of sirtuins, a recently discovered class of enzymes that control the aging process. The company’s headquarters are in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
If you’ld rather not wait for the show, here are some articles:

I think it just might be possible–living until the age of 150. I am reading a book, In Full Bloom, (http://www.infullbloombook.com), that is all about the aging brain and body, and activities you can do to keep yourself young…challenge your brain and body…stay active, play games, be social and eat well etc.
