There is an increasing number of certainly men and also women i am sure who appear to push away death fo many years.

I notice most of the truly elderly learn to be super calm and i am sure that helps.  All worthy and i do think that those numbers will continue to climb.

Within the country, the region that holds the top spot for male longevity is Shiga, a prefecture of 1.4 million people that has a low profile, even in Japan. Yet it's clearly doing something right. While the global average lifespan for men hovers at about 70, those in Shiga typically survive to nearly 82.
