CNN on longevity

I finally got around to watching Chasing Life, and I was let down. Not by the report itself, but how little ground it seems we have gained in twenty years of longevity studies. The program can be summed up in a few, very brief suggestions: don't smoke. Eat a plant-based diet. When you do consume animal protein, make it deep water fish. Calorie reduce. If you drink, drink red wine. Exercise. Get enough sleep. Reduce stress. Brush and floss twice a day. The jury is still out on stem cell therapy. The jury is still out on gene therapy. The jury is still out on supplements and selenium. Covert Bailey has literally been making these points since I was in high school. Today I'm 38.
