"Live to age 80? Bah Humbug! We aim to live to a healthy, fit, active,

breakthroughs in extending and enhancing the human lifespan. From its
inception with one dozen scientific pioneers in 1993, the A4M has grown

prestigious positions at both academic and clinical hospital-based facilities
and are published scientific researchers. Read

Chocolate
Eaters Live Longer
Frequent chocolate feasts will undoubtedly expand your waistline, but
you should treat yourself to a bar once in a while. It can actually
be good for you. The mouth-watering treat contains large amounts of

According to the University of California, Berkley, one large ongoing
study exploring the benefits of exercise found that men who eat one
to three bars of chocolate a month live longer than those who eat none.
No one knows why, but who cares. If you're a chocolate lover, this is
good news.
