How To Live The Longest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780977887477)

It was in 1976 that I fully realized that I am going to get old and die before the age of 120, and that everyone else alive will too, including those that I love most. I am Carl Bourhenne, and in 1976 I founded the Carl I. Bourhenne Medical Research Foundation to research the best ways to stay youthful, and to live the longest life possible. I received Federal and State tax-exempt status for the Foundation, and I've been researching long life ever since. I went back to school in 1988 and earned a Master's Degree in Gerontology, the study of the aging process, from Cal State Dominguez. My Master's Thesis was a work called, "How To Live The Longest Life Possible." In 2008 a member of a UCLA research group on anti-aging asked to be involved in my Foundation, and joined in. The Foundation is still active, and is still researching the ways to stay youthful and to live as long a life as is possible. I had always taken great care of myself until six years ago. Then I stopped living a healthy lifestyle for three years. At the end of those three years, when I was 79, I was feeling a lot of weakness in my legs, and I actually believed I'd need a walker very soon. I re-instated the lifestyle practices I had learned during my research, and I was surprised to find that I returned to a vigorous youthfulness very fast! I promise to tell you in this book ALL of the lifestyle practices that I used from my research. I have spent the last 42 years studying what we can do to fight the aging process, and to be youthful and live the longest life we possibly can. I will die one day, and you will too; but I've learned all the ways to stay youthful and to live as long a life as we possibly can. We all have to do all of the things that I have learned, or we will all age continuously until our final day. You can make the time between now and then completely different, if you are willing to do the things that work. I promise to teach you in this book all the things that actually work.
