Live to 100

Goldy · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:00

Who here thinks they will live to 100 years old?

I read that there are over 12,000 people aged over 100 in the UK, up from just 2500 in 1980. Although it did not mention what the odds were of living to 100. Its fun to speculate though.

Me. Why not.

Azza · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:02

I'd hope not, unless I was mentally and physically ok. The latter I doubt though.

Reaper 392 · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:02

with my diet and exercise regime i doubt it

Cleeecooo · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:03

I don't want to.

cm1179 · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:04

i doubt it and certainly wouldn't want to.

TurnipHead · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:05

I'll be dead by 30.

Craig1981 · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:08

Not likely. I try not to think about it really.

I would like to live to 100, and expect to considering I'm only 22. Primarily because I want to see the advancements in technology.

MooMoo444 · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:12

I'm not active enough and eat too much junk food, so not me!

panthro · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:13

Slim to none I'd say.

Edrof · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:14

I give myself 15 years. I'd really like to live to see 2066 though - a thousand years of 'modern' England!

PaulyD · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:15

Unlikely for me given my current lifestyle.

I doubt I would actually want to either unless I was mentally sound at that age

Watching that BBC program about longevity was interesting. To live to 100 you need to fast for 2 days every week and you should make it, starting in your 30's/40's/50's.

King Damager · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:17

Maybe....

Who knows..

Only just realised about 2066, should make it there

I'd only have to get to 70 something...

My lifestyle would probably be fine for it, though I'd probably have to change a couple of small things. I'd want to be mentally and physically sound though.

Didn't see the program, what significance does fasting have?

Pfft... **** that I'm gonna live forevar!

TheCenturion · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:24

A lot of it comes down to genes. I'd say I won't.
