How To Live to 100

March 17th 2010 02:29
During the Bronze Age the average human life span was just 18 years. Today in developed countries that figure has almost increased to 80 years. The human with the longest (proved) lifespan was French woman Jeanne Calment who died in 1997 at the age of 122.
With advances in medicine the average human lifespan should gradually increase into the low 90s and may one day reach 100. It would take a yet unforeseen advancement in medicine or technology for humans to live longer than this on average.
The fastest growing demographic in the developed world is the Centenarian. It is estimated that by the year 2050 there will be over 1 million people living in the USA over the age of 100. (That figure currently sits at approximately 70,000).
Do you want to be part of that group one day? Then start looking after your health now!
The infographic below gives you a few tips on how to prolong your life span. Some suggestions you will already know, while others may surprise you!

Common symptoms of a parasite infection include constipation, diarrhoea, gas and bloating, joint aches, chronic fatigue, excessive hunger, and immune dysfunction

National Equality March

Best Signs At The National Equality March


The signs and banners carried at the National Equality March are slightly more light hearted than your average rally. Probably because most attendees can't believe they need to make signs and turn up to a protest march to ask for equality in the first place

Roller Coaster Pictures

October 26th 2009 01:19
Most modern roller coasters have an area set up where they'll take snapshots to sell you after the ride. These cameras provide mixed results, showing some people terrified out of their minds, and others so calm they have time to be smart. However as the last pic demonstrates, some people just can't handle it at all.....
