The Secret To Living To 120 With Strength And Health… If You Want To (Do You?)

The average lifespan in the U.S. is now up to 78.7 years (81.2 for women vs 76.2 for men) according to the latest data. We are already living longer, and with advances in medical care on the horizon, lifespan is expected to increase even further. In a recent Pew survey, most respondents said they would like to live longer – but only about a decade more. The median response for the desired lifespan was age 90, with a normal range being seen as 79 to 100. The big surprise was that most people did not want to live to 120 or beyond… Earlier this month I had another birthday – the big 45. Granted, it’s not a decade birthday like the big 40 or the bigger 50 (let alone the epic 100). Nevertheless it’s still a milestone birthday. Those birthdays always get you thinking, don’t they? The thought that popped into my head this time was, at 45, that would put me at the half way point of my life, if my goal for longevity were the same as the average American’s.  But living only to 90 is not my goal. I’ve always wanted to live as long as a human can live. Why wouldn’t that be everyone’s goal? Personal development icon Jim Rohn once said, “Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall does a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can!” Having heard that people have lived to 120, I’ve always had a goal that I will live to 120, or right up to what is biologically possible. Then a few years ago, a brilliant coach and mentor convinced me that my goal should be 140. Seriously, I really do have a goal card I carry in my pocket with “live to a strong and healthy 140” in writing. People ask me, “What if you die sooner?” Well, if I come up a little short, 130 is not so bad is it? Neither is 120 for that matter. But you can only hit what you aim at, so you have close to zero percent chance of 120 if you don’t at least make that your intention. I believe that’s secret number one to a long life – you have to want it first, then believe it and expect it. Anyway, on the day of my 45th birthday this month, I guess my radar was turned on for “aging” because an associated press story (where I read about the Pew survey) caught my attention, even though I don’t read the news that much. It was called “Aging America: will you live to 120? Do you want to? It turns out, most people don’t want to live to 120. I found that peculiar, but I suppose that’s the typical pessimistic attitude 95% of people have about everything, so it’s not all that surprising. What did shock me was the reasons why the survey respondents said they didn’t want to live that long. First they said that the rapidly graying population is bringing concerns about the growth of Alzheimer’s, and with an overburdened Medicare system, we shouldn’t be surprised that there’s concern about the idea of living longer. To me, that’s not convincing. We don’t control our genes, but we can control our behavior and our lifestyle. The problem is, most people don’t. Most people are profoundly sedentary and eat a horrible junk food diet, so their susceptible genes clash with their unhealthy lifestyle – a disease-producing or deadly combination.  Just remember, your genes indicate a predisposition, not a predestination. It’s not easy, but it’s a simple proposition to control your destiny: do everything in your power to live a healthy lifestyle – nutrition, exercise, self-care and nurturing a positive psychology. This way, even if you believe you’re one of those “genetic time bombs” (you have the family history and risk factors), you can rest easier knowing that your risk of age-related disease is as low as it can be. Another reason mentioned in the survey is that some people think we shouldn’t try to live longer because our planet won’t have the resources to support the growing population. I wouldn’t be so sure. As long as humans continue to be resourceful, we will never run out of resources… In his book Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think, Peter Diamandis breaks down human needs into categories including water, food, energy, health care and education, then shows how thought leaders, innovators and social entrepreneurs are making strides in every area. Technophilanthropists are offering multi-million dollar prizes in global crowdsourcing contests, incentivizing the brightest minds on the planet to work on projects to improve our quality of life and solve many of the problems facing society today.

Technophilanthropists are offering multi-million dollar prizes in global crowdsourcing contests, incentivizing the brightest minds on the planet to work on projects to improve our quality of life and solve many of the problems facing society today. These people are awesome. So I’m not worried.

Why else did survey participants say they wouldn’t want to live longer? One, a 24-year old female, said, “It depends if I’m able to move, or if I’m stuck in rocking chair.” I can appreciate that. But shouldn’t it be a foregone conclusion that we don’t want to live longer if those extra years are spent frail, decrepit, bedridden, nonfunctional, and a burden on others?

It’s not just about how long we live, it’s about how long we live with health and strength and vibrancy and independence. That’s called health span and health span is where our focus needs to shift – away from simply “more years” and toward “more healthy years,” and on taking the action steps every day to make that happen.

There is no reason you have to end up in a rocking chair or retirement home at 90 or even 120. It’s sad that a 24-year old’s belief system includes this as a future possibility, though it’s understandable. Belief systems are formed by the thought patterns and paradigms of the family and society we are brought up in. But no one controls your thinking but you, and as an adult, it’s within your power to de-program yourself from limiting beliefs that you acquired as a child. It begins with a conscious decision.

Many people have made the decision and fully embraced this idea of living the longest life possible, but they pursue it the wrong way. They give in to the snake oil salesmen with their “anti-aging” pills or they’re charmed by the promise of advances in medicine alone being able to extend their life. They have no intention of changing their lifestyles, they are hoping that a visit to the clinic will work some kind of magic for them.

The pursuit of the fountain of youth has come in other odd forms as well. Calorie restriction for life extension is one I find the most bizarre. Practitioners are starving themselves into skeletons, eating a third less food than they should be, hoping that the reduced food intake will extend their life the way it has in studies on worms, flies and mice. News flash: people are not insects or rodents. Read my expose on calorie restriction for life extension to see why this approach is misguided, despite the amount of press it has received.

Why will people go to such lengths as to starve themselves silly, pop 50 pills a day, stick themselves with needles full of hormones or wait and pray for a miracle gene therapy, but they won’t change the simple behaviors that really make all the difference? It’s because lifestyle change is hard, so the search for youth in a pill or bottle continues.

This is such a shame because there’s another “secret” to living long and strong but it’s only available to people who are willing to make changes and work hard…

 The true fountain of youth is already here.

I was lucky to discover it at a very young age.

When I was 14 years old, after I first got hooked on bodybuilding, I remember seeing something in Muscle and Fitness magazine that made an impression on me that has lasted to this day. It was the story of a pro bodybuilder named Al Beckles, who placed 2nd in the Mr. Olympia competition at the age of 55. “Ageless Al” as they called him, had a physique better than most of the younger champions in their 20’s or 30’s.

At that moment a new belief system was burned into my subconscious mind: “So that’s what muscle-building will do for you – the bodybuilding lifestyle is the fountain of youth.” I grew up with that belief.

The publisher of the magazine, Joe Weider, wrote countless editorials over the years saying the same thing: “Bodybuilding is the fountain of youth,” reinforcing the idea in my brain. 31 years later, I still believe this to be true, having seen myself and countless others take 10 or even 20 years off their biological age and keep getting stronger with each passing decade, through resistance training and “the bodybuilding lifestyle.”

After enjoying incredible popularity in the heyday of Arnold, through the 1980’s, 1990’s and into the 2000’s, over the last decade, bodybuilding has been criticized as often as praised, with many claiming that it’s not healthy after all – “It only looks healthy on the surface because of the great bodies.”

It’s true that many of the pros do things that are unhealthy and unsustainable. But I don’t condone that “take anything” or “do anything” it takes to win philosophy. Bodybuilding is the healthiest lifestyle you could choose – physically and psychologically – when it’s done the way the real heroes of physical culture intended it: naturally, and for both form and function.

The natural bodybuilding lifestyle is not just a way to get a great body that turns heads, it’s a path to strength, fitness, a longer lifespan – and most of all, a longer health span. That’s the deeper reason I’m writing this today. Not just to comment on a recent news story but to give you a preview of what I’m going to spend the next year and the next part of my career doing: preaching the “gospel of muscle.”

My mission is to help millions of people get leaner, stronger, fitter and healthier.

My mission is to encourage everyone who needs it, to start resistance training for strength and muscle and health, and to embrace it as a lifestyle.

I want to bring resistance training to the places where its most absent and most needed: (1) to the baby boomer population looking for ways to slow down the aging process, and (2) to the weight loss world, where most people think “weight loss = diet” but where the equation should really be fat loss = nutrition + training + mindset.

In upcoming posts, I’ll be sharing information on the almost unbelievable anti-aging and body-transforming benefits of resistance training. I’ll also be more formally announcing, sharing and explaining my mission and why I believe every one who lifts weights and eats nutritiously can call themselves a “body-builder”, and why the natural bodybuilding lifestyle is true solution to help save a fat, sick, aging America.

 Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is the guidebook for our movement – our ” bible” – and it will finally be available in a brand new, revised and updated hardcopy edition, in bookstores everywhere on December 10th, 2013 (it’s already available for pre-order).

Our movement is going to put NATURAL strength and muscle into the forefront of the consciousness of aging America (and dieting America), and the rest of the world. Join us.

Train hard and expect success,

Tom Venuto,

Author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle

Whether you prefer some serious heavy metal, low key rock, intense rap, or lighthearted pop music while you run, one genre is bound to boost your motivation, and possibly even make you faster.

In fact, one study found athletes worked harder with faster music and actually enjoyed the music more when it was playing at a quicker tempo. Just by increasing the music’s tempo by 10 percent created a 2.1 percent increase in distance.¹

Several studies reveal the positive effects of music on runners and athletes alike. Music is shown to calm the mind and the body of athletes before competitions, when they are under high-pressure. It has also shown to eliminate their distractibility.²

So it’s true music can be a major motivator for running and working out. But when you’re constantly trying to fix your running headphones or having to slow down to stick one back in your earlobe, it can be counteractive and incredibly irritating.

1. Panasonic’s RPHJE120K In-Ear “Drops”

3. The Sony Ultra Lightweight MDR-W08L Vertical “In-The-Ear Headphones”

The Sony Ultra Headphones are $39.97, have a slim headband, and actually allow outside sound for extra safety for when you’re running down the street. Plus, they come with a warranty.

4. The Sennheiser CX 680 Earfin Sports Ear buds

The Sennheiser CX 680 Earfin Sports Ear buds are priced at $69.99. They are both sweat and water resistant, and come with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The set comes with a protective carrying case with room for a portable device.

6. Klipsch Image X7i

On the higher-price end of headphones, the Klipsch Image X7i headphones are listed for $199.99, and come with a 3-button remote for music and voice control for select Apple devices.

Temptation

Hospital vending machines have come under fire this week for making high-calorie junk foods too readily available.

I read an article on the BBC website in which a survey by the World Cancer Research Fund found that 73% of English hospital trusts have no policy when it comes to the food sold in their vending machines, yet Welsh and Scottish trusts do. Considering it is the NHS – I guess you would assume that they have a moral responsibility to send out the right messages regarding healthy eating?

This reminded me of the ‘guilt lanes’ that I mentioned in a recent blog post – those tempting snacks that supermarkets place next to the checkout. It can make life difficult to have that sort of food placed within such easy reach.

But what happened to freedom of choice? Why should people who have no issues when it comes to health or weight be restricted? Those questions probably form the basis of arguments from critics to any form of restraint on the availability of food and drink products.

For me though, the fact that our weight as a nation is growing so rapidly, is more important than the availability of a chocolate bar. If you want a chocolate bar badly enough, you can walk to a shop or a specific aisle in a supermarket for it…you might burn some of the calories off in it too!

If you want junk food, you can have it. But to place it in locations such as hospitals seems a little ironic. Whilst the majority of patients and visitors will have no health problems that link to junk food, the potential for many that do have these issues, and the fact that we give easy access to such food seems strange to me. The NHS have launched a new healthy eating and weight loss campaign and, for me, I think they need to capitalise upon every opportunity to get the message across…at the moment I actually have visions of a vending machine full of crisps and chocolate being located next to a poster for this new campaign!

I don’t bang the drum as much as I used to about McDonalds and the like. These companies serve a purpose and they are never going to go away. I think that us losers need to take responsibility for own our destiny, and so part of that means avoiding places like McDonalds perhaps – it definitely means avoiding them for me…one burger is never enough! Yet guilt lanes and vending machines are located in such a way that you can’t avoid them unless you shop online. You might be able to resist, but it doesn’t seem fair to have to queue up right next to temptation.

You wouldn’t be likely to see alcohol or cigarettes next to you whilst you queue up…and you certainly wouldn’t find little wraps of cocaine! But for the likes of me, some of the items you do find can be just as damaging.

Will power is always touted as the cure all for weight loss – just eat less, move more and use that will power! And to a great extent this is true – you have to want the weight loss more than you want the chocolate. Yet if something is dangled in front of your nose, or the only item available in a late night trip trip to A&E is a chocolate bar from the vending machine, what do you do?

I don’t know what the solution is really. I think that a balance of options would be good – a guilt lane with 50% junk and 50% healthy options…the same with vending machines. I would not want a total ban as I worry that this could lead to further ‘fat-bashing’…’the fatties can’t control themselves so we have to suffer’ kind of backlash!

For me, I just plan to avoid temptation. If I am going somewhere then I take a healthy option in my bag. I generally have a healthy option – such as a decent cereal bar or piece of fruit – in my glovebox. If I am going out for the day then I will select somewhere that I know I can buy a healthy meal. It might sound anal…but it seems to work.

Anyway, enough talk of junk food – it is tempting me too much!

Breakfast: Blueberry and banana porridge (6.5 syns).

Lunch: Lentil soup.

Dinner: Thai green veggie curry (1 syn).
Snacks: Ryvita crackers and cheese (2 x HEA and 2 x HEB) and two packets of French Fries (8 syns).

Exercise: Nowt!

Soda drinking tied to kids' behavior problems: study

By Andrew M. Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Children who drink soda tend to score slightly higher on scales that measure aggressive behavior than kids who don't drink the carbonated beverages, according to a new study. The study's lead author cautioned, however, that the increase may not be noticeable for individual children and the researchers can't prove soda caused the bad behaviors. "It's a little hard to interpret it. It's not quite clinically significant," Shakira Suglia, of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York, told Reuters Health. ...

I mentioned at the end of July how changing my diet helped me stop binging. I also have noticed how much better of a relationship I have with food. Foods that used to taunt me in the past, foods I’d have to work SO HARD to ignore have are now subdued. I can have a crispy marshmallow treat sit on my desk for DAYS, not be bothered by it and in fact, give it away instead of eating it. Don’t get me wrong – being healthy is still not second nature for me, I still have to work to make sure I’m feeding my body what it needs but, there isn’t as much resistance as there had been for years. And trust me, the less resistance, the better.

WHAT a morning! I was hoping to get this post up super early before leaving for the gym but I woke up to the find my little copyrighted photo drama not really over as I thought it was.

I ended up coming home from my workout and writing copyright infringement letters to the owners of a .au domain that’s using my before and after photos to sell some diet pill and colon cleanse.

FABULOUS! Right?

Ugh. To make matters worse, I’ve just been a funk lately, which is why I didn’t get on the scale this morning. I thought about it and consciously decided the number (regardless of what it is/was) would do more harm than good today.

And that’s what I wanted to talk about for this week’s weigh in: Knowing What You Need When You Need It

There are weeks I need to see the number. I need to be held accountable. I need the feedback.

There are other weeks where my mental state doesn’t warrant dealing with the scale. “Good” or “bad” wouldn’t matter, I just don’t want to bother with it and no, it’s not coming from a place of denial. I’m not binging myself to death or eating out my frustration, but the feelings have been there.

No, this is about being true and honest with myself, and for the past couple of days, for whatever reason, I’ve needed to walk away. I eased up on keeping my food journal. I haven’t run. I didn’t even put my Fitbit on this morning!

Maybe it’s hormones or stress or tiredness. Maybe it’s all three. Who knows? To be honest, I don’t want to psychoanalyze myself. I just needed a break, and you know what? I’m already starting to feel better.

Learning how to honestly listen to what I need without guilt or stress or anger is probably the hardest part of this journey. There was a time I would have called myself weak or lazy for admitting I needed a break. There was a time I would have binged to help deal with these feelings.  There was definitely a time (not that long ago) that I would feel an enormous sense of guilt.

Now I simply try to treat myself the way I would a friend, and sometimes you tell your friend, “Hey, take a few days. You deserve it.”

So how was everyone else’s week? I hope better than mine! :)

My workouts have been super tough lately. Tougher than ever, actually. And now I really need a break. My fitness progress this past month has been epic, but my body is tired and my mind has become a wee bit weary.

So I’ve decided to do a little experiment.

For the next 7 days (starting today), I will do NO Beastmode workouts. I will do NO plyometrics, NO strength training, NO Speed Rope, NO burpees. Nothing like that at all. YIKES! Do you see where this is going?

What will I do instead? I will continue to climb Corcovado Mountain, bask in bendy-flowy Yoga-ish moves set to relaxing music, and enjoy tranquil strolls through the park on my lunch breaks. More personal prayer time is also on the menu.

I will also hide under my bed so the Greedy Family can’t terrorize me. I’ll have a filled-up wine glass with me, of course.

Ahhhh. I can feel myself becoming rejuvenated already.

I’ve never done this before — never refrained for such a long stretch of time. It’s going to take courage to NOT exercise as usual (weird, huh?). I’m taking cues from my body and will honor what it’s asking of me.

Restoration! Relaxation! Renewed strength! I’m all about that life, yo.
