Health & Medicine
Children are born into the Fountain of Youth.  

Children are born into the "Fountain of Youth" with a life expectancy of 10,000 years.  When they are young, accidents cause their life expectancy to be 5,000 years.  Because science has eliminated most of the children's diseases, the major cause of death is accidents.  When children started to school and experience the world around them, accidents continue and their life expectancy is 500 years.  Children believe they are invincible.  Once we were out of school, working on a job, and enjoying the good life, their life expectancy drops to 50 year because of accidents and disease.  They have learned how to avoid accidents, but disease is a major problem. What is happening?  

• Thomas Parr lived under nine monarchs.  In September 1635, Parr gained the attention of King Charles I, who invited him to the palace for a visit.  A friendship developed and the king invited Parr to reside in the palace.  Parr cheerfully accepted and sold his farm.  Parr stopped farming and eating the simple country foods and started stuffing himself with the rich royal food.  In the middle of one of the boisterous, four hour banquets, Parr dropped dead at the age of 152.  He died from what some people would called "living the good life."

• From year of research, Dr. Kenneth Cooper is revolutionizing the field of medicine.  He advocates disease prevention through balance program of diet along with aerobic and weight exercises rather treatment.  He believes, "It is easier to maintain good health through proper exercise, diet, and emotional balance than it is to regain it once it is lost."

The field of health and medicine are changing very rapidly and are pushing our ethical values on life and death.  Our bodies are very adept at protecting us from disease.  When we exercise, our bodies produce sweat and lactic acid that for example can destroy cancerous melanoma cells.  Our life styles and how we live in harmony with our environment will determine the quality of our life and how long we will live.  We know our chronological age from when we were born, but 

What is your biological, mental, and sexual (bms) age? 
The sum of the ages divide by three.  For example, (35+26+35)/3 is 32.
If you eat properly, live in harmony with your environment, and exercise regularly, 
your bms age should be under 40.
