Want to live to 120 ?

Take Metformin - that's the answer.

Don't you have to have diabetes first?

I was wondering that too .... but I prefer to give longevity a miss.

I don't want to live to be 100 never mind 120, talk about a fate worse that death, I shudder at the thoughts of it.

Re: Want to live to 120 ?

Wouldn't it depend on our health and whether or not we could remain healthy ?

I remember an old horror film where the wife (I think) wished her dying husband could live forever .... YIKES .... she forgot to add the small print !

He was condemmned to a life of living hell ... with a whole load of ghastly diseases ...

Re: Want to live to 120 ?

Healthy or not Rachel, think about all your friends and loved ones who went before you, can you imagine a 120 year old bloke trying to drum up new friends in a pub or even an old folks home, I should leave the pub out there'll be none left by then, think of all the new trends in music you'd have to listen to, even my grandkids would be pensioners and I'd still be worrying about their future, no way Danno, I've done me bit and I'm ready to step off the train when it comes into the station.

My whole family is dead now and I have had to find new friends since my husband died.
Imagine a woman, on her own, trying to 'drum up' new friends.


I am having to do it now, so why would there be a problem if I was 120 ?

Life goes on
