Follow the logic here. A reduction in caloric intake extends life and promotes better health. Eat less and eat better food and we will be healthier and live longer. Yes, it takes some planning and discipline, but the benefit is clear - it is like discovering the Fountain of Youth.
Or.....we could consider genetic manipulation that mimics the same process without all that pesky work. I read and re-read the article and missed the recommendation to skip the genetic stuff and just start eating right and exercising. As you read the article, look for opportunities to insert the terms "exercise and eating right" into every space that mentions genetic manipulation and drug treatment as a means to improve health, treat disease like diabetes and extend life.
I've got my Strong Medicine - exercise and smart eating. Okay, and a little red wine for the resveratrol and anti-oxidants as well. Just keep away from my genes!
JT, eating right and exercising just sounds like so much work! =) Everyone wants a quick fix these days with instant results and a surprising number of people would probably go this route as opposed to excercise and eating right. Delayed gratification is a dying skill...
