Last month I learned so much at the Alternative Medicine/Anti-Aging Conference in Las Vegas. I am not exploring anti-aging medicine for vanity or because I want to live to be a 100 years old. There are a lot of people, however, who love being alive and do want to reach the 100 year mark, at least. Good for them, but that's not why I am researching this material. Being a Medium means I am more than ok with death, and some days it would feel like a welcome relief to get off this rock! I spend a majority of my day and life with dead people already. Sometimes more with them than the living. Death to me means no stress and no bills. I can see what they are doing on the other side. Believe me when I say, “They are having fun!" So why am I exploring the Anti-Aging world if not for vanity or longevity? It has to do with the quality of my life and how my body feels while I am here. I am exploring how to keep my body optimized and really feeling great while I am still physically on planet Earth doing my thing. In case you do want to live to be a 100, here are the qualities of those people who have.
