A Healthy Nation! Maybe
It looks like very soon we’ll all turn into health freaks, not a bad thing I must admit, but think of all those poor doctors who will be out of a job if we turn into a healthy nation!
For a start they are going to add vitamin D to our milk as we don’t get enough sunshine, this will strengthen our bones and prevent heart disease and cancer. Eating four squares of plain chocolate every week will help to prevent heart failure. And to keep dementia at bay you need to eat a diet of rich fruit and vegetables.
Here is one that many of you will enjoy! Drinking alcohol will reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis. They say that non drinkers are four times more likely to develop to rheumatoid arthritis.
They don’t tell you how much you should drink, but they do warn about drinking alcohol and taking medication, so you could keep your doctor in business by asking questions.
Oh and if your a big head! or I should say if you have a big head ! thats a good sign also, you have less chance of suffering dementia.
Now here is a contradiction to all our teachings. Being fat will help to live longer in old age, It is said that the death rate for people aged 70 to 75 years is lowest for those people classed as overweight, and if you are obese you stand the same chance of someone of normal weight, evidently underweight people have the highest risk of death.
And to top all that there is now a wonder pill that could extend your life by up to twenty three years. But don’t go beating a path to your doctor to get this wonder anti aging drug called Rapamycin, at the moment it has only been tested on mice who lived for 600 days instead of 60. You might get this on prescription in about 50 years time if your still around then,
