Want to live beyond 70? Here’s the secret

At the core of human nature lies the desire to live as long as possible, look as young as possible and keeping disease firmly at bay.  So passionate are these desires that people throughout the ages have been willing to spare no cost to achieve each, if not all of them.

In the Victorian era, for instance, women were known to remove their lower ribs in search of a wasp like waistline. This same desire is the wind beneath the global billion dollar cosmetic industry consisting of diet pills, health clubs, skin care, hair products, make up, fragrances and not to forget cosmetic surgery.
