A new article on MSN has six simple hints for living longer. A couple items on the list truly surprised me. I knew, for example, that eating a healthy diet was key to longer live, but what about eating less altogether? Eating less means pushing yourself away from the table when you’re 80% full.

This act alone can lower “production of T3, a thyroid hormone that slows metabolism.” It is also believed to help with longer life.

Eat Less, Live Longer

I was online this morning and ran across an article that caught my attention:

I usually turn off when I see Oprah mentioned but decided to read on.   Here is part of the article:

From the Editors at Netscape:

But the question that generated the most interest was: How often should you have sex? The multiple choice options: once a week, twice a week, 10 times a month, 200 times a year.

The answer: 200 times a year.

“If you have more than 200 orgasms a year, you can reduce your physiologic age by six years,” Dr. Oz says, basing this number on a study from researchers at Duke University who surveyed people about the amount and quality of sex they had. “They looked at what happened to folks that are having a lot of intercourse over time, and the fact is, it correlated.” Frequent sex helps prove that your body is functioning as it is supposed to. “But in addition, having sex with someone that you care for deeply is one of the ways we achieve that Zen experience that we all crave as human beings,” says Dr. Oz. “It’s really a spiritual event for folks when they’re with someone they love and they can consummate it with sexual activity…seems to offer some survival benefit.”

So, What do you think?   Is 200 orgasms a year like the “Impossible Dream” ?
