We can all do a lot to prevent of postpone serious illness.

Dr. David Agus:
My hope is, and what I really believe can happen is, we can delay illness to the 9th or 10th decade. You know the 1950tys were the last years in the United States you can die of old age on a death certificate – I want to bring that back.

Mike Carruthers:
What makes people look older than their actual years? Stress is a big culprit.

Dr. Amy Wechsler:
The fastest growing segments in the anti-aging category are twenty-year-olds. When I was in my twenties I wouldn't think of buying an anti-aging product but twenty-year-olds are buying them. I think because everyone's so stressed out and they are starting to see all these wrinkles.

Taking rests throughout the day is necessary to keep your health, energy and productivity on track and there are lots of ways you can rest and renew.
