Staying healthy has to be a top
priority for all of us who want to keep working and maintain an
active lifestyle. With this in mind, we’d like to offer this special edition of Reinventing Retirement to introduce you to an
online service called the LongLifeClub, which was created by
Dave Bunnell to help people like you live a longer, healthier life.
Before he “re-invented” himself, Dave was well known in the
technology and biotechnology fields as the founder of the magazines
PC, PC World and Macworld and the biotech service, BioWorld Today.
The information on his new website, http://www.longlifeclub.com
is refreshed almost daily and is aimed at boomers and “enlightened”
seniors who are proactive about exercise, nutrition and health
lifestyle habits. We think you will benefit from joining the
LongLifeClub (membership is free) and to help you decide, here
are some sample items from Dave’s site:
When it comes to
Exercise, More is Better
Exercise is really good for you, but
are you doing enough to get the full benefits. LongLifeClub
founder Dave Bunnell thinks many people are fooling themselves--they
think they are getting enough exercise, but they are not. How much
do you need to do to reduce the risk of chronic disease, or to
maintain your current weight. How much do you need to do to lose
weight? This and other questions are answered, plus tips on how to
motivate yourself. Included is a list of links to other LongLifeClub
articles about the value of exercise.

Dangerous Beauty: Do
Some Personal Care Products Cause Cancer?
Could the cosmetics or shaving creams
you use contain hazardous chemicals that make you more prone to
cancer or fertility problems? The question is being studied heavily
by some environmental groups, who answer with a resounding "yes."
But the cosmetics industry's trade group says the quality of evidence
isn't strong enough to make such frightening claims.

Is Laughter the
Opposite of Stress
Researches at the University of
Maryland School of Medicine find that laughter can significantly
increase blood flow while stress has the opposite effect. The less
you stress and the more you laugh, the better, and besides, it's
cheap medicine.

The Almost Perfect
Breakfast Cereal You can Make Yourself
LongLifeClub founder Dave
Bunnell lives in Berkeley, California, were organic food is so
abundant you can hardly find the conventional varieties. Yet, even
here, it is impossible to find a good breakfast cereal or granola

Eat Dark Chocolate: It
May Be Good for You
Chocoholics, take heart: dark chocolate
just might be good for you. That doesn't mean it should be downed by
the multiple bar fulls, but a moderate amount might have some good
effects on your heart. More studies need to be done to prove that
dark chocolate could actually reduce heart problems. Any volunteers
to participate in those studies?
