People who are making it to 100 live in environments where they are regularly nudged into physical activity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People over 100 are the fastest-growing group in America. People soon will be working 'til 100 - some because they have to - and living 'til 125 or even 135. What do I know, I'm just a weatherman, but I've made a hobby of studying this, and it's phenomenal.
I attribute a lot of the success to Live 105, of course, because it's something they've nurtured and grown.
I hope to live to 100. There is so much to do.
People pushing the idea that everyone can live to be 100 are perpetuating a myth that goes all the way back to the Bible.
There's a whole group of people who are 100-plus and have no disease. Why?
Healthy people live with their world.
For whatever reason, maybe it's because of my story, but people associate Livestrong with exercise and physical fitness, health and lifestyle choices like that.
Exercise, from a public health perspective, is an unmitigated failure. The world's longest-lived people live in environments that nudge them into more movement. They don't use power tools, they do their own yard work, they grow a garden.
We assume that healthy habits are a good idea, but in and of themselves, they are not the reason we're going to be active at age 95 or 100. The body works in more complex ways.
I think anyone who wants to live past 100 can do it.
