I read a lot about longevity. \u00a0I’m one of the few people who actually wants to be frozen like a popsicle when I die in the hopes that I can be thawed out when … well, whenever, I guess. \u00a0I keep up on all of the Singularity developments. \u00a0I read Kurzweil’s blog. \u00a0I know who Aubrey de Grey is.\u00a0\u00a0I’m aware of that 2045 “movement.” \u00a0 I followed the resveratrol\u00a0thing and the calorie limiting diet thing and a lot of other things. \u00a0I’ve watched all the movies about what we eat and shouldn’t eat. \u00a0I avoid GMOs, avoid caffeine, never smoked a cigarette\u00a0and usually exercise five days a week. \u00a0I’m “into” all of that healthy stuff.<\/p>\n

So when I see a blog post on my RSS feed called “How to Live to a Ripe Old Age<\/a>” from National Geographic I automatically click through. \u00a0I’m used to seeing the usual “drink more wine and avoid stress” stuff which I have a tough enough time doing, but I wasn’t prepared for the newest round of special advise on living forever.<\/p>\n

“For starters, eat nuts and socialize<\/strong>, says longevity expert Dan Buettner.”<\/p>\n

crap…<\/p>\n

I don’t know which is more painful for me… socializing or eating nuts.<\/p>\n
