-Nice to meet you, too.

Ready to see Edna?

11

-Yeah.

00:00:38,344 --> 00:00:39,275
-OK.

-Behind locked doors, huh?

14
00:00:43,241 --> 00:00:45,448
-Yeah, she likes to roam and
wander around, and if we

15
00:00:45,551 --> 00:00:47,137
didn't, she'd find
her way out.

16
00:00:51,413 --> 00:00:54,068
I've got her up here
waiting on you.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,034

MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: This
film represents about three

23
00:01:57,551 --> 00:01:59,137
years of my life.

24
00:01:59,241 --> 00:02:02,689
It'll take up around an hour
and half of yours.

25
00:02:02,793 --> 00:02:06,965
When I turned 50, a friend
sent me this cartoon.

26
00:02:07,068 --> 00:02:09,517
It cracked me up at the time.

27
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:14,482
I'm 53 now, and with each
passing year I find I laugh

28
00:02:14,586 --> 00:02:15,862
less and less at it.

29
00:02:15,965 --> 00:02:18,344
It's not that I lack a sense of
humor about the realities

30
00:02:18,448 --> 00:02:22,137
of aging, but I'm bothered more
and more by the speed on

31
00:02:22,241 --> 00:02:23,551
that downward slope.

32
00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:29,103
I guess I wouldn't be in this
rather morose frame of mind if

33
00:02:29,206 --> 00:02:31,448
it wasn't for my mother.

34
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:33,344
She died recently.

35
00:02:33,448 --> 00:02:37,103
Her downward slope
began in 1996.

36
00:02:37,206 --> 00:02:39,482
She was an accomplished
painter.

37
00:02:39,586 --> 00:02:41,310
She lived for work.

38
00:02:41,413 --> 00:02:44,275
But that year, she lost her
studio and most of her

39
00:02:44,379 --> 00:02:47,551
canvases to a fire that took to
the canyon where she lived.

40
00:02:50,482 --> 00:02:52,655
She seemed sadder after that.

41
00:02:52,758 --> 00:02:56,482
That's why even though she died
at 85 I prefer to picture

42
00:02:56,586 --> 00:03:03,517
her like this, high-spirited,
creative, young.

43
00:03:05,862 --> 00:03:08,896
So planning her funeral was
really difficult, but it had

44
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,620
to be done, and it got me
thinking about the inevitable.

45
00:03:26,206 --> 00:03:29,517
-I've spent my career, 30 years,
whatever it's been, as

46
00:03:29,620 --> 00:03:32,000
the guy that nobody wants
to do business with

47
00:03:32,103 --> 00:03:33,551
professionally.

48
00:03:33,655 --> 00:03:37,034
One of the challenges that we
have is no one wants what I

49
00:03:37,137 --> 00:03:38,620
have to offer.

50
00:03:38,724 --> 00:03:42,000
-Though this is not an easy
subject to deal with, we have

51
00:03:42,103 --> 00:03:46,137
to do this because death
is no respecter of age.

52
00:03:46,241 --> 00:03:47,482
-Come here, look.

53
00:03:47,586 --> 00:03:50,482
I don't know why we don't
think about death.

54
00:03:50,586 --> 00:03:52,034
I think it's just because
we think we're

55
00:03:52,137 --> 00:03:53,482
going to keep on living.

56
00:03:53,586 --> 00:03:56,206
Isn't that smart for a
blonde girl to say?

57
00:04:01,448 --> 00:04:02,827
THOMAS LYNCH [OFFSCREEN]: A
funeral director's convention

58
00:04:02,931 --> 00:04:07,586
is not unlike a medical soiree
where all the, you know,

59
00:04:07,689 --> 00:04:10,620
urologists get together
for a couple days.

60
00:04:10,724 --> 00:04:14,344
Always there is one part of the
conference that has sort

61
00:04:14,448 --> 00:04:17,827
of a social aspect to it, the
sort of hail and farewell, how

62
00:04:17,931 --> 00:04:22,275
you been type of thing among
strange colleagues who speak

63
00:04:22,379 --> 00:04:23,931
in odd lexicons, you know.

64
00:04:24,034 --> 00:04:26,310
-We're focusing on our
embalming fluids.

65
00:04:26,413 --> 00:04:31,000
They're formaldehyde-based, used
to preserve human remains

66
00:04:31,103 --> 00:04:32,241
after they die.

67
00:04:32,344 --> 00:04:33,758
And I'm the embalmer
that can walk them

68
00:04:33,862 --> 00:04:34,827
step-by-step through that.

69
00:04:34,931 --> 00:04:36,241
So a lot of fun.

70
00:04:36,344 --> 00:04:37,793
-This is the Body Scoop.

71
00:04:37,896 --> 00:04:40,931
The Body Scoop is designed to
make a one person lift, a

72
00:04:41,034 --> 00:04:42,379
person of almost any size.

73
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:46,068
I do think we confuse the
essential obligations of a

74
00:04:46,172 --> 00:04:49,206
funeral with the accessories
to a funeral.

75
00:04:49,310 --> 00:04:51,586
There's nothing I can sell you
that'll get you into heaven or

76
00:04:51,689 --> 00:04:52,482
keep you up.

77
00:04:52,586 --> 00:04:53,379
These are accessories.

78
00:04:53,482 --> 00:04:54,827
They're boxes.

79
00:04:54,931 --> 00:04:58,034
-Our caskets are designed for
those families that appreciate

80
00:04:58,137 --> 00:04:59,517
style and beauty.

81
00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:02,482
We've added some specialty items
like 24 karat gold for

82
00:05:02,586 --> 00:05:03,586
the hardware.

83
00:05:03,689 --> 00:05:05,379
-These are caskets made
out of paper veneer.

84
00:05:05,482 --> 00:05:08,137
It's a very similar
process just like

85
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:10,103
brands of Ikea furniture.

86
00:05:10,206 --> 00:05:13,758
People are changing their styles
from traditional burial

87
00:05:13,862 --> 00:05:17,758
caskets to a rental type of
casket where the deceased

88
00:05:17,862 --> 00:05:20,379
stays in a cardboard
container.

89
00:05:20,482 --> 00:05:23,931
You open the front, and now
you're able to remove the

90
00:05:24,034 --> 00:05:26,172
deceased through the front
of the casket.

91
00:05:26,275 --> 00:05:29,689
-A typical person would fit in
an urn that size and still

92
00:05:29,793 --> 00:05:31,172
have some room left over.

93
00:05:31,275 --> 00:05:34,000
Right I never wanted to make
one that things just fit.

94
00:05:34,103 --> 00:05:35,448
So mine are always just--

95
00:05:35,551 --> 00:05:38,655
just a little bit bigger
than you need.

96
00:05:38,758 --> 00:05:41,689
THOMAS LYNCH [OFFSCREEN]: To
deal with mortality, you must

97
00:05:41,793 --> 00:05:45,965
deal with the mortal thing, you
know, the corpse, getting

98
00:05:46,068 --> 00:05:48,517
it to its grave or
tomb or fire.

99
00:05:51,793 --> 00:05:56,448
But ours is truly the first
generation that has tried to

100
00:05:56,551 --> 00:05:58,965
accomplish this without having
to deal with the dead guy.

101
00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:00,310
-And we just have fun with it.

102
00:06:00,413 --> 00:06:02,689
It's all about celebration
of the cowboy's life.

103
00:06:02,793 --> 00:06:05,724
THOMAS LYNCH [OFFSCREEN]: We
are constantly organizing

104
00:06:05,827 --> 00:06:09,689
these memorial services or
celebrations of life, whatever

105
00:06:09,793 --> 00:06:11,689
euphemism du jour is.

106
00:06:11,793 --> 00:06:13,241
The talk is uplifting.

107
00:06:13,344 --> 00:06:15,965
The music is life-affirming.

108
00:06:16,068 --> 00:06:17,620
The finger food is good.

109
00:06:17,724 --> 00:06:21,000
Someone is on hand to declare
closure, usually just before

110
00:06:21,103 --> 00:06:22,482
the Merlot runs out.

111
00:06:22,586 --> 00:06:25,724
And everyone is welcome except
the one who has died.

112
00:06:30,275 --> 00:06:33,310
-The boomers want something
different from the traditional

113
00:06:33,413 --> 00:06:36,206
funeral, and that's kind of the
niche where we fell into.

114
00:06:36,310 --> 00:06:40,000
We've done some really special
funerals for people where you

115
00:06:40,103 --> 00:06:42,586
went actually bar-hopping
with the body.

116
00:06:42,689 --> 00:06:44,482
-Once families get started going

117

00:06:47,448 --> 00:06:49,896
actually to through, choose
their loss experience type.

119
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,206
Was it sudden death?

120
00:06:51,310 --> 00:06:52,379
Was it general grief?

121
00:06:52,482 --> 00:06:53,310
Death of spouse?

122
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:54,586
Suicide?

123
00:06:54,689 --> 00:06:56,620
We're even expanding right now
into pet loss as well.

THOMAS LYNCH [OFFSCREEN]: Ours
is a culture that's very

126
00:07:02,862 --> 00:07:05,689
comfortable with a good laugh
but hasn't a clue about the

127
00:07:05,793 --> 00:07:10,000
usefulness of a good cry.

128
00:07:10,103 --> 00:07:13,034
It's hard to laugh in the
face of a corpse.

129
00:07:13,137 --> 00:07:16,517
Everything is sort of diminished
in importance by

130
00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:19,482
this dead thing and the
mystery it represents.

131
00:07:23,517 --> 00:07:27,965
It makes me think things I
wouldn't otherwise think.

132
00:07:28,068 --> 00:07:32,034
It makes me wonder more.

133
00:07:32,137 --> 00:07:35,793
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: I
wonder a lot as well about

134
00:07:35,896 --> 00:07:41,034
every new grey hair, every new
nose hair, every new pound in

135
00:07:41,137 --> 00:07:44,448
my ever-widening midsection.

136
00:07:44,551 --> 00:07:47,034
Each one is a cruel reminder
that maybe my best

137
00:07:47,137 --> 00:07:48,448
years are behind me.

Am I past my prime?

140
00:07:56,379 --> 00:07:59,965
Actually, it's not death I fear
so much as it is being

141
00:08:00,068 --> 00:08:02,827

of old age.

That's not exactly a

165
00:08:44,827 --> 00:08:46,482

since American pharmaceutical

stressing out the boomers

getting older.

America?

177
00:09:12,793 --> 00:09:17,241
So you're at the Ms. senior
America Beauty Pageant, and

178
00:09:17,344 --> 00:09:20,931
the women are 60 years
and older.

179
00:09:21,034 --> 00:09:22,448
-I'm 75.

180
00:09:22,551 --> 00:09:23,827
-And I'm 74.

181
00:09:23,931 --> 00:09:27,241
-We tell our ages because it's
promoting the positive image

182
00:09:27,344 --> 00:09:29,931
of aging, and we're
having a ball.

183
00:09:30,034 --> 00:09:31,379
[music and applause]

184
00:09:31,482 --> 00:09:33,620
ANNOUNCER [OFFSCREEN]: And there
they are, the delegates

185
00:09:33,724 --> 00:09:36,758
competing for the title
of Ms. Senior America

186
00:09:36,862 --> 00:09:39,068
National Queen, 2007.

187
00:09:39,172 --> 00:09:42,034
DR. AL MOTT [OFFSCREEN]: We have
a pageant which has to

188
00:09:42,137 --> 00:09:45,275
address the older person,
but I have a problem.

189
00:09:45,379 --> 00:09:48,551
I can't have swimsuits
or else we might have

190
00:09:48,655 --> 00:09:50,482
wrinkle city winners.

191
00:09:50,586 --> 00:09:53,206
I had to replace that category
with something else, and

192
00:09:53,310 --> 00:09:55,310
that's called philosophy
of life.

193
00:09:55,413 --> 00:09:57,724
-Life is like a river,
sometimes

194
00:09:57,827 --> 00:10:00,068
calm, but often turbulent.

195
00:10:00,172 --> 00:10:03,655
-I want to live life like
a ray of sunshine.

196
00:10:03,758 --> 00:10:06,000
-Yesterday is history.

197
00:10:06,103 --> 00:10:07,586
Tomorrow, a mystery.

198
00:10:07,689 --> 00:10:12,068
-I may be a senior,
but I'm still hot.

199
00:10:12,172 --> 00:10:15,241
It just comes in flashes.

200
00:10:15,344 --> 00:10:19,827
-Life is a journey, and I
am enjoying the trip!

201
00:10:19,931 --> 00:10:22,413
DR. AL MOTT [OFFSCREEN]: And
with the evening gowns, very

202
00:10:22,517 --> 00:10:26,310
elegant, and the philosophy of
life, and the talent, and

203
00:10:26,413 --> 00:10:28,551
interview, the women
had four categories

204
00:10:28,655 --> 00:10:30,689
in which is to compete.

205
00:10:30,793 --> 00:10:33,655
[singing]

206
00:10:33,758 --> 00:10:37,931
-I'm 80 years old, and I never
really found myself until

207
00:10:38,034 --> 00:10:39,482
about 7 years ago.

208
00:10:39,586 --> 00:10:42,000
I kind of woke up one day and
thought, well, I don't even

209
00:10:42,103 --> 00:10:44,137
know who I am, so I started
looking for who I was.

210
00:10:44,241 --> 00:10:46,103
And I found me, and
I liked me.

211
00:10:46,206 --> 00:10:47,689
-How do you do that?

212
00:10:47,793 --> 00:10:49,827
I mean, I said my knees are
never going to last that long.

213
00:10:49,931 --> 00:10:50,827
Didn't you say you were 80?

214
00:10:50,931 --> 00:10:51,862
-Yes.

215
00:10:51,965 --> 00:10:53,172
-I mean, how can you do this?

216
00:10:53,275 --> 00:10:54,689
Your knees, they work so well.

217
00:10:54,793 --> 00:10:57,310
DOLORES BATES [OFFSCREEN]: I
found out in 2005 I had to

218
00:10:57,413 --> 00:10:59,620
drop out because I had a
total knee replacement.

219
00:10:59,724 --> 00:11:03,551
And then I thought, well, at
least one more shot this yea.

220
00:11:03,655 --> 00:11:09,000
And I set my goals to win and
be Ms. Senior Arkansas.

221
00:11:09,103 --> 00:11:12,482
[music playing]

222
00:11:12,586 --> 00:11:14,000
DOLORES BATES [OFFSCREEN]:
There were 12

223
00:11:14,103 --> 00:11:15,551
of us in the contest.

224
00:11:15,655 --> 00:11:18,931
Most of them were in their 60s,
and me being in my 80s, I

225
00:11:19,034 --> 00:11:20,448
had positive thoughts.

226
00:11:20,551 --> 00:11:23,758
I put doubt out of my mind, and
just worked to achieve it.

227
00:11:23,862 --> 00:11:25,413
And I did.

228
00:11:28,344 --> 00:11:31,344
My pastor really didn't approve
of this, and they

229
00:11:31,448 --> 00:11:32,931
don't really approve
of dancing.

230
00:11:33,034 --> 00:11:35,241
And he said, "You won't be in
the paper, will you?" And I

231
00:11:35,344 --> 00:11:38,827
said, "Yes, I will." And he also
warned me that this was

232
00:11:38,931 --> 00:11:40,379
supposed to be sin city.

233
00:11:40,482 --> 00:11:43,620
He said, "You will face all
kinds of temptation." I said,

234
00:11:43,724 --> 00:11:45,206
"Temptation?

235
00:11:45,310 --> 00:11:49,448
I don't drink I don't gamble."
And my boyfriend's back home.

236
00:11:49,551 --> 00:11:52,551
I'd face more temptation
if I was in Arkansas!

237
00:11:52,655 --> 00:11:53,827
[laughing]

238
00:11:53,931 --> 00:11:56,344
ANNOUNCER [OFFSCREEN]: Our first
runner up, ladies and

239
00:11:56,448 --> 00:11:59,931
gentlemen, Ms. South Carolina.

240
00:12:00,034 --> 00:12:02,310
[cheers and applause]

241
00:12:02,413 --> 00:12:05,000
DR. AL MOTT [OFFSCREEN]: This
is not a competition.

242
00:12:05,103 --> 00:12:06,724
This is a corporation.

243
00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:10,586
People at that age level do
not think in terms of

244
00:12:10,689 --> 00:12:13,344
competing in the sense that, oh,
if I win, I'm going to get

245
00:12:13,448 --> 00:12:17,344
a job with the Ford modeling
agency or something like that.

246
00:12:17,448 --> 00:12:20,620
They want to build up their
self-esteem, find companions.

247
00:12:20,724 --> 00:12:23,206
ANNOUNCER [OFFSCREEN]: And
Ms. Senior America

248
00:12:23,310 --> 00:12:25,206
National Queen, 2007.

249
00:12:25,310 --> 00:12:35,206
[cheers and applause]

250
00:12:35,310 --> 00:12:36,827
-How are you feeling?

251
00:12:36,931 --> 00:12:38,206
-I feel good.

252
00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:40,586
I'm just happy to
have been here.

253
00:12:40,689 --> 00:12:44,758
How many women my age get to
appear on the stage in Las

254
00:12:44,862 --> 00:12:45,793
Vegas?

255
00:12:45,896 --> 00:12:47,310
-A little disappointment, or--

256
00:12:47,413 --> 00:12:48,689
-No, no, no.

257
00:12:48,793 --> 00:12:50,034
No disappointment.

258
00:12:50,137 --> 00:12:52,655
I'm still a winner.

259
00:12:52,758 --> 00:12:55,517
Life's been good do me, and
I'm gonna get married.

260
00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:58,000
I've been a widow for
17 years, and

261
00:12:58,103 --> 00:12:59,586
finally found a man.

262
00:12:59,689 --> 00:13:00,896
Took me a long time.

263
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,448
A good man.

264
00:13:02,551 --> 00:13:04,206
Good man loves me.

265
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:05,586
To him, I'm beautiful.

266
00:13:05,689 --> 00:13:06,965
I'm the perfect woman.

267
00:13:07,068 --> 00:13:08,137
I'm everything, you know?

268
00:13:08,241 --> 00:13:10,620
I said, Jerrold, I'm 80!

269
00:13:10,724 --> 00:13:12,896
I don't want you to be
disappointed in me, but what

270
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,862
you see is what you're
gonna get.

271
00:13:14,965 --> 00:13:16,448
[laughing]

272
00:13:16,551 --> 00:13:22,000
And I'm older than he is, but
he can drive at night.

273
00:13:22,103 --> 00:13:27,724
That's a plus when you get
older, you know that?

274
00:13:27,827 --> 00:13:30,241
JOHN ROBERTS [OFFSCREEN]: Images
that a lot of us carry

275
00:13:30,344 --> 00:13:35,137
about aging are unduly negative
and harmful to us.

276
00:13:35,241 --> 00:13:41,068
They actually found that the
type of belief system that a

277
00:13:41,172 --> 00:13:44,551
person has about aging,
whether it's positive,

278
00:13:44,655 --> 00:13:49,827
hopeful, and constructive, or
whether it's negative and just

279
00:13:49,931 --> 00:13:53,793
looking-- there's no good side
to it, has more impact on

280
00:13:53,896 --> 00:13:55,655
their health as they
get older.

281
00:13:55,758 --> 00:13:58,344
And their blood pressure, then
their cholesterol level, even

282
00:13:58,448 --> 00:14:02,551
then whether they smoke, all
of which are important, but

283
00:14:02,655 --> 00:14:04,931
they found this was even
more important.

284
00:14:05,034 --> 00:14:06,103
-For me, it was turning 50.

285
00:14:06,206 --> 00:14:08,034
It was hard, you know?

286
00:14:08,137 --> 00:14:11,655
There are some monsters
that come out of those

287
00:14:11,758 --> 00:14:14,068
caves late at night.

288
00:14:14,172 --> 00:14:16,206
No amount of sex, and no amount
of sleeping pills, and

289
00:14:16,310 --> 00:14:17,793
no amount of drugs.

290
00:14:17,896 --> 00:14:22,620
I mean, we do so much in our
society to try to mask and to

291
00:14:22,724 --> 00:14:27,379
hold at bay these thoughts and
feelings and memories.

292
00:14:27,482 --> 00:14:30,241
-People have often said
to me, aren't you

293
00:14:30,344 --> 00:14:31,448
afraid of getting old?

294
00:14:31,551 --> 00:14:34,448
I said, no, I've never
had that fear.

295
00:14:34,551 --> 00:14:38,862
I knew that I was collecting
truths along the way.

296
00:14:38,965 --> 00:14:40,379
I--

297
00:14:40,482 --> 00:14:43,344
I have a stick with a nail that
I go through life jabbing

298
00:14:43,448 --> 00:14:44,586
it at truths.

299
00:14:44,689 --> 00:14:47,413
And I pick them up, and put
them in my trash bag.

300
00:14:50,241 --> 00:14:53,482
TEACHER [OFFSCREEN]: You've had
a little bit of time to

301
00:14:53,586 --> 00:14:55,793
read this quote.

302
00:14:55,896 --> 00:15:00,068
Atticus says to Scout, "You
never really understand a

303
00:15:00,172 --> 00:15:04,413
person until you consider things
from his point of view,

304
00:15:04,517 --> 00:15:10,103
until you climb into his skin
and walk around in it." We're

305
00:15:10,206 --> 00:15:13,034
going to be starting our visits
to the Linda Valley

306
00:15:13,137 --> 00:15:16,517
Villa, which is a retirement
facility.

307
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:19,551
So, we're going to try
this experiment.

308
00:15:19,655 --> 00:15:21,896
You are going to get a
taste of what their

309
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,931
life is like today.

310
00:15:24,034 --> 00:15:29,448
When you get older, something
that happens are cataracts.

311
00:15:29,551 --> 00:15:33,586
I want you to take some
Vaseline, some petroleum

312
00:15:33,689 --> 00:15:38,517
jelly, and just smear the
glasses, the outside of your

313
00:15:38,620 --> 00:15:39,586
glasses, with it.

314
00:15:39,689 --> 00:15:41,896
And these will be your
eyes for the rest

315
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:42,896
of the class period.

316
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,103
Take out the rocks.

317
00:15:45,206 --> 00:15:50,689
Take off your shoe, and put
them in your shoe, OK?

318
00:15:50,793 --> 00:15:54,517
When you get older, you know,
you've been walking on your

319
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:58,034
feet for years and years
and years, and your

320
00:15:58,137 --> 00:16:00,896
feet begin to hurt.

321
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,551
[music playing]

322
00:16:04,655 --> 00:16:07,172
Marisa, wrap these around
your knees.

323
00:16:07,275 --> 00:16:09,724
Arthritis in your knees, OK?

324
00:16:09,827 --> 00:16:12,655
So wrap them around.

325
00:16:12,758 --> 00:16:14,000
Tighten them.

326
00:16:14,103 --> 00:16:16,344
Put these gloves on.

327
00:16:16,448 --> 00:16:20,206
We're going to fix you with
arthritis in your-- your

328
00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:21,793
joints and your hands.

329
00:16:21,896 --> 00:16:24,379
I want you to put these
pants on you.

330
00:16:24,482 --> 00:16:25,379
-Really?

331
00:16:25,482 --> 00:16:26,517
-Yeah.

332
00:16:26,620 --> 00:16:28,724
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON [OFFSCREEN]:
The issue is not

333
00:16:28,827 --> 00:16:32,241
to deny the limits of age.

334
00:16:32,344 --> 00:16:37,103
There are physical limits,
but spiritually

335
00:16:37,206 --> 00:16:39,241
there are no limits.

336
00:16:39,344 --> 00:16:42,103
Psychologically and emotionally,
this can be not

337
00:16:42,206 --> 00:16:44,103
when we retire, as someone
said to me

338
00:16:44,206 --> 00:16:45,724
recently, but refire.

339
00:16:45,827 --> 00:16:48,034
ANNOUNCER [OFFSCREEN]: And now
here is the man who will show

340
00:16:48,137 --> 00:16:52,586
you how to feel better, look
better, Jack LaLanne!

341
00:16:52,689 --> 00:16:55,551
-You know, what's all this
middle age and all this old

342
00:16:55,655 --> 00:16:56,137
age business?

343
00:16:56,241 --> 00:16:57,620
You know, what it?

344
00:16:57,724 --> 00:16:59,482
Is there a law somewhere because
you're 30 or 35 or 40

345
00:16:59,586 --> 00:17:01,896
years old or 50 or 60 or 70, you
have to get in a rocking

346
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,344
chair and die?

347
00:17:03,448 --> 00:17:05,034
Jack LaLanne can't
afford to die.

348
00:17:05,137 --> 00:17:06,724
Wreck my image.

349
00:17:06,827 --> 00:17:08,172
Ready, begin.

350
00:17:08,275 --> 00:17:09,172
One.

351
00:17:09,275 --> 00:17:10,586
Two.

352
00:17:10,689 --> 00:17:12,965
That's why I tell people, you
only live once, because that's

353
00:17:13,068 --> 00:17:14,517
why you should take
care of yourself.

354
00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:17,793
The exercise is king,
nutrition's queen.

355
00:17:17,896 --> 00:17:19,931
Put them together, you
got a kingdom.

356
00:17:20,034 --> 00:17:21,310
Inhale.

357
00:17:21,413 --> 00:17:22,724
Blow it out.

358
00:17:22,827 --> 00:17:25,344
Inhale again.

359
00:17:25,448 --> 00:17:26,344
Fine!

360
00:17:26,448 --> 00:17:27,103
I'm a salesman.

361
00:17:27,206 --> 00:17:29,068
You know, think about it.

362
00:17:29,172 --> 00:17:32,275
If you believe in something,
you sell it.

363
00:17:32,379 --> 00:17:36,137
Now I have the answer to all
of your problems, the new,

364
00:17:36,241 --> 00:17:38,000
long-play, high fidelity,
glamour

365
00:17:38,103 --> 00:17:39,413
stretcher, time record.

366
00:17:39,517 --> 00:17:42,206
Why did Jesus Christ perform
all those miracles?

367
00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:44,482
To prove that His philosophy
worked.

368
00:17:44,586 --> 00:17:47,620
You know, if Jack LaLanne's
philosophy doesn't work for

369
00:17:47,724 --> 00:17:50,275
Jack LaLanne, it's not going
to work for you, is it?

370
00:17:50,379 --> 00:17:51,896
That's why I did all those
incredible feats.

371
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,655
When I did the thousand chins
and the thousand push ups, and

372
00:17:55,758 --> 00:18:00,310
I towed the 2,000 pound boat
from San Francisco across the

373
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:01,896
Golden Gate.

374
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,724
Then on my 70th birthday, I
towed 70 boats with 70 people

375
00:18:06,827 --> 00:18:09,896
in the boats, my feet and hands
tied, a mile and a half

376
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,275
to Long Beach.

377
00:18:17,241 --> 00:18:19,482
This is my workshop.

378
00:18:19,586 --> 00:18:22,793
This is where I take care of the
most important person on

379
00:18:22,896 --> 00:18:26,103
this Earth, me.

380
00:18:26,206 --> 00:18:30,655
I work out every day
for two hours.

381
00:18:30,758 --> 00:18:33,413
I invented a lot of the
equipment's in the gym today.

382
00:18:33,517 --> 00:18:36,344
The first weight selector,
leg extensor machine.

383
00:18:36,448 --> 00:18:40,724
I started inventing equipment
way back in 1931.

384
00:18:40,827 --> 00:18:44,034
You know, in those days,
physical fitness, that was

385
00:18:44,137 --> 00:18:45,448
unheard of.

386
00:18:49,344 --> 00:18:53,206
ELAINE LALANNE [OFFSCREEN]:
Put in the carrots?

387
00:18:53,310 --> 00:18:56,586
I'll put the carrots
in first, OK.

388
00:18:56,689 --> 00:19:01,517
Push this down, and the
juice comes out here.

389
00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:03,758
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: That
makes everything raw, whole.

390
00:19:03,862 --> 00:19:06,896
JACK LALANNE [OFFSCREEN]:
Oh,yeah.

391
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,275
Oh, that looks wonderful.

392
00:19:08,379 --> 00:19:10,034
ELAINE LALANNE [OFFSCREEN]:
See how you like it.

393
00:19:10,137 --> 00:19:12,000
That's carrot juice.

394
00:19:12,103 --> 00:19:13,000
-Beautiful.

395
00:19:13,103 --> 00:19:14,517
-Is that good?

396
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:15,379
-See what you're doing?

397
00:19:15,482 --> 00:19:17,206
You're doing something
for you.

398
00:19:17,310 --> 00:19:22,068
And it tastes good while
you're doing it.

399
00:19:22,172 --> 00:19:25,793
You're putting raw, vital food
in this raw, vital body.

400
00:19:25,896 --> 00:19:29,758
ELAINE LALANNE [OFFSCREEN]: At
lest we know he likes it.

401
00:19:29,862 --> 00:19:31,551
-I'm a selfish person.

402
00:19:31,655 --> 00:19:35,965
When I put something in my Jack
LaLanne mouth, I say,

403
00:19:36,068 --> 00:19:38,482
what is it doing for me?

404
00:19:38,586 --> 00:19:41,034
Am I going to be lover
for my mate?

405
00:19:41,137 --> 00:19:43,827
Am I'm going to get rid of
these aches and pains?

406
00:19:43,931 --> 00:19:48,103
Am I going to be better
with my family?

407
00:19:48,206 --> 00:19:49,689
-Jack, I was wondering
whether you could

408
00:19:49,793 --> 00:19:51,344
tell me any kind of--

409
00:19:51,448 --> 00:19:53,000
what I should be doing
to love for of a

410
00:19:53,103 --> 00:19:54,000
long and healthy life.

411
00:19:54,103 --> 00:19:55,413
What kind of exercise is it?

412
00:19:55,517 --> 00:19:58,689
-Walking's good, but you've
got to do it vigorously.

413
00:19:58,793 --> 00:20:00,137
You've got to walk like.

414
00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:01,413
You're walking like this.

415
00:20:01,517 --> 00:20:03,931
When you walking, you
go like, one, two.

416
00:20:04,034 --> 00:20:05,137
Hands over head.

417
00:20:05,241 --> 00:20:06,379
Push to the ceiling.

418
00:20:06,482 --> 00:20:08,379
Bring those legs in,
pull that waist in.

419
00:20:08,482 --> 00:20:09,172
Just like that.

420
00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:10,413
You folks out there, try it.

421
00:20:10,517 --> 00:20:10,931
Here we are.

422
00:20:11,034 --> 00:20:11,965
Up, down.

423
00:20:12,068 --> 00:20:12,586
Push.

424
00:20:12,689 --> 00:20:13,310
Almost.

425
00:20:13,413 --> 00:20:14,275
[inaudible]

426
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:15,000
No, straighten your
arms overhead.

427
00:20:15,103 --> 00:20:15,862
-Like this?

428
00:20:15,965 --> 00:20:16,482
-Hit the ceiling.

429
00:20:16,586 --> 00:20:17,000
-Jesus.

430
00:20:17,103 --> 00:20:17,896
-Like this.

431
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:18,724
Punch it, punch it.

432
00:20:18,827 --> 00:20:19,896
Now you've got it!

433
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,137
Now, when you're walking, see.

434
00:20:21,241 --> 00:20:23,275
And pull that gut in.

435
00:20:23,379 --> 00:20:23,689
OK?

436
00:20:23,793 --> 00:20:24,551
-OK.

437
00:20:24,655 --> 00:20:25,241
-Straighten 'em out!

438
00:20:25,344 --> 00:20:26,896
Put something into it.

439
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Punch the ceiling.

440
00:20:28,103 --> 00:20:28,931
Don't you know how to punch?

441
00:20:29,034 --> 00:20:29,827
It's like this.

442
00:20:29,931 --> 00:20:30,413
Boom, boom--

443
00:20:30,517 --> 00:20:31,965
-Ow!

444
00:20:32,068 --> 00:20:33,000
Boom, boom, boom.

445
00:20:33,103 --> 00:20:34,034
-There you go.

446
00:20:34,137 --> 00:20:35,551
Now walk are you're doing it.

447
00:20:35,655 --> 00:20:37,551
Your health account and your
bank accounts are the same.

448
00:20:37,655 --> 00:20:39,655
The more you put in, the
more you take out.

449
00:20:39,758 --> 00:20:41,137
That's it, good.

450
00:20:41,241 --> 00:20:43,000
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: There
are plenty of examples of

451
00:20:43,103 --> 00:20:46,482
graceful aging, so why
be afraid of it?

452
00:20:46,586 --> 00:20:49,103
All it takes, it seems,
is a little

453
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:51,344
commitment and a blender.

454
00:20:51,448 --> 00:20:54,620
Jack sure makes it look easy.

455
00:20:54,724 --> 00:20:55,793
JACK LALANNE [OFFSCREEN]:
There's so much

456
00:20:55,896 --> 00:20:57,241
work to be done yet.

457
00:20:57,344 --> 00:21:01,000
I can hardly wait for tomorrow
to get doing something.

458
00:21:01,103 --> 00:21:03,758
Sitting on your big, fat
backside thinking, oh, I

459
00:21:03,862 --> 00:21:07,793
remember the good old days and
the-- the gold old days are

460
00:21:07,896 --> 00:21:09,034
this second!

461
00:21:09,137 --> 00:21:10,172
[singing]

462
00:21:10,275 --> 00:21:15,482
This is the moment
I waited for!

463
00:21:15,586 --> 00:21:16,896
This is it.

464
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
This moment controls
the next moment.

465
00:21:21,103 --> 00:21:23,965
As I said before, who
makes it happen?

466
00:21:24,068 --> 00:21:26,137
You!

467
00:21:26,241 --> 00:21:28,586
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: When
I was growing up, my mom had

468
00:21:28,689 --> 00:21:32,241
exercised every morning in front
of the TV with Jack.

469
00:21:32,344 --> 00:21:35,413
But even though his old school
cheerleading got results,

470
00:21:35,517 --> 00:21:38,000
aren't we a bit more
advanced nowadays?

471
00:21:38,103 --> 00:21:40,517
Does it all need to
be so strenuous?

472
00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:41,896
DR. AUBREY DE GREY [OFFSCREEN]:
I've often said

473
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,344
that aging is a barbaric
phenomenon.

474
00:21:43,448 --> 00:21:46,137
It's an uncivilized phenomenon
that should just not be

475
00:21:46,241 --> 00:21:50,344
accepted and tolerated
in polite society.

476
00:21:50,448 --> 00:21:52,586
I started off being a
computer scientist.

477
00:21:52,689 --> 00:21:54,620
I did my undergraduate degree
business in computer science

478
00:21:54,724 --> 00:21:57,103
in the mid-'80s, and I did
computer science research for

479
00:21:57,206 --> 00:21:58,758
several years after that.

480
00:21:58,862 --> 00:22:02,482
While I was doing that, I met
my wife, who is a biologist.

481
00:22:02,586 --> 00:22:05,482
And we got together, and I
learned a lot of biology just

482
00:22:05,586 --> 00:22:07,896
sort of by accident over
the dinner table over

483
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,068
the next few years.

484
00:22:09,172 --> 00:22:10,655
And I was not just
learning biology.

485
00:22:10,758 --> 00:22:13,206
I was also learning about what
biologists are interested in

486
00:22:13,310 --> 00:22:14,758
and what they're not
interested in.

487
00:22:14,862 --> 00:22:18,896
And I was extremely surprised to
discover that actually the

488
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,620
biology of aging was
a real backwater.

489
00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:26,931
So eventually, I became
sufficiently annoyed about

490
00:22:27,034 --> 00:22:28,655
this that I decided to
get into it myself.

491
00:22:28,758 --> 00:22:31,689
I thought, well, you know, if
these people are not trying to

492
00:22:31,793 --> 00:22:34,413
make a difference to the biology
of aging, then maybe I

493
00:22:34,517 --> 00:22:35,620
can do something.

494
00:22:39,068 --> 00:22:43,689
Aging is a repair and
maintenance problem.

495
00:22:43,793 --> 00:22:46,206
The human body, of course, is
a very, very complicated

496
00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:47,758
machine, but it's
still a machine.

497
00:22:47,862 --> 00:22:51,448
So in principle, one ought to be
able to figure out ways to

498
00:22:51,551 --> 00:22:55,000
repair that damage so
that the decline

499
00:22:55,103 --> 00:22:57,793
in function is postponed.

500
00:22:57,896 --> 00:23:02,413
If we think about the way that
postponement of the aging of a

501
00:23:02,517 --> 00:23:04,896
machine works for really simple
machines, like cars for

502
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,275
example, if you maintain your
car only averagely, then maybe

503
00:23:08,379 --> 00:23:09,655
it'll only last 15 years.

504
00:23:09,758 --> 00:23:12,551
If you maintain it a little
bit better, you

505
00:23:12,655 --> 00:23:13,689
maybe last 20 years.

506
00:23:13,793 --> 00:23:16,448
But there is a threshold
level of, if you like,

507
00:23:16,551 --> 00:23:19,655
comprehensiveness of repair and
maintenance above which

508
00:23:19,758 --> 00:23:23,310
basically the sky's the limit.

509
00:23:23,413 --> 00:23:26,413
That means that if we didn't
have aging at all anymore, the

510
00:23:26,517 --> 00:23:28,793
average lifespan would be
somewhere around 1,000 years.

511
00:23:28,896 --> 00:23:30,655
Some people would die much
younger than that just because

512
00:23:30,758 --> 00:23:33,068
they got unlucky or they were
careless crossing the street,

513
00:23:33,172 --> 00:23:35,344
and some people would live
a lot longer than that.

514
00:23:37,931 --> 00:23:42,000
I predict that within about 10
years, so long as the funding

515
00:23:42,103 --> 00:23:44,517
for the research is sufficiently
good, we may have

516
00:23:44,620 --> 00:23:47,413
breakthroughs in the laboratory
in mice that will

517
00:23:47,517 --> 00:23:50,000
make it clear that it's only a
matter of time before we can

518
00:23:50,103 --> 00:23:52,241
essentially eliminate
aging in humans.

519
00:23:52,344 --> 00:23:54,793
There's going to be a wide
variety of different stem cell

520
00:23:54,896 --> 00:23:57,103
therapies to repopulate tissues

521
00:23:57,206 --> 00:23:58,344
that are loosing cells.

522
00:23:58,448 --> 00:24:00,206
There's going to be
vaccines involved.

523
00:24:00,310 --> 00:24:02,655
There's almost certainly going
to be standard small molecule

524
00:24:02,758 --> 00:24:03,931
drugs involved.

525
00:24:04,034 --> 00:24:05,379
Lot's of different things
put together.

526
00:24:05,482 --> 00:24:07,551
Now, the aging process will not,
of course, be eliminated

527
00:24:07,655 --> 00:24:08,931
from the body in this way.

528
00:24:09,034 --> 00:24:11,620
It'll be just like repair and
maintenance of a machine, so

529
00:24:11,724 --> 00:24:15,241
it'll need to be reapplied
periodically.

530
00:24:15,344 --> 00:24:16,793
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: I'm
a little worried, Aubrey.

531
00:24:16,896 --> 00:24:17,965
I'm 52 years old.

532
00:24:18,068 --> 00:24:19,965
Is that too late for
your therapies?

533
00:24:20,068 --> 00:24:22,586
Are they going to benefit
me at all?

534
00:24:22,689 --> 00:24:25,413
-I can make no promises on this,
but I think by the time

535
00:24:25,517 --> 00:24:27,689
these therapies come
along, you'll be

536
00:24:27,793 --> 00:24:30,068
biologically 70 or 75.

537
00:24:30,172 --> 00:24:32,862
Now, these therapies will be
bona fide rejuvenation

538
00:24:32,965 --> 00:24:35,931
therapies, therapies that
actually restore the body to a

539
00:24:36,034 --> 00:24:39,241
biologically younger, so
you'll be taken back to

540
00:24:39,344 --> 00:24:42,068
biologically 40, shall we
say, by these therapies.

541
00:24:42,172 --> 00:24:44,517
And as the therapies are
progressively improved in

542
00:24:44,620 --> 00:24:47,482
their quality, then the next
time you're re-rejuvenated,

543
00:24:47,586 --> 00:24:49,517
you may be going back
to biologically 30.

544
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:51,482
So absolutely, I think you've
got a fair chance

545
00:24:51,586 --> 00:24:52,689
of making the cut.

546
00:24:52,793 --> 00:24:55,413
-15 years from now, we're
really going to have the

547
00:24:55,517 --> 00:24:58,241
fruits of this biotechnology
revolution where we can very

548
00:24:58,344 --> 00:25:02,793
dramatically reprogram the
information processes that run

549
00:25:02,896 --> 00:25:04,379
in our bodies.

550
00:25:04,482 --> 00:25:06,620
We're going to be able add new
genes, turn off genes, really

551
00:25:06,724 --> 00:25:08,103
reprogram who we are.

552
00:25:08,206 --> 00:25:10,482
We'll have not just designer
babies, but

553
00:25:10,586 --> 00:25:11,862
designer baby boomers.

554
00:25:11,965 --> 00:25:14,172
The computers that are
now in your pocket

555
00:25:14,275 --> 00:25:15,896
will be blood cell-size.

556
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,620
They'll be very intelligent.

557
00:25:17,724 --> 00:25:21,517
We'll have millions of these
nanorobots, nanobots, going

558
00:25:21,620 --> 00:25:23,517
through out bloodstream,
keeping us healthy form

559
00:25:23,620 --> 00:25:26,551
inside, going inside our brains,
interacting directly

560
00:25:26,655 --> 00:25:28,862
with our biological neurons,
and really

561
00:25:28,965 --> 00:25:30,379
extending who we are.

562
00:25:30,482 --> 00:25:33,103
Putting our brains on the
internet, giving us access to

563
00:25:33,206 --> 00:25:37,827
vast resources of knowledge,
memory, problem-solving

564
00:25:37,931 --> 00:25:39,344
capability.

565
00:25:39,448 --> 00:25:42,793
So to my Baby Boomer peers, the
message is you really need

566
00:25:42,896 --> 00:25:46,758
to be very aggressive, and yes,
then you can get into the

567
00:25:46,862 --> 00:25:48,172
theater of radical
life extension.

568
00:25:48,275 --> 00:25:50,034
You don't want to be the person
who doesn't get into

569
00:25:50,137 --> 00:25:51,896
the theater.

570
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,103
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: If
there is a pill someone could

571
00:25:54,206 --> 00:25:56,793
offer you, if you took it,
you'd live for 500 years,

572
00:25:56,896 --> 00:25:57,965
would you take it?

573
00:25:58,068 --> 00:25:58,862
-500 years?

574
00:25:58,965 --> 00:25:59,931
Give me 500 more years?

575
00:26:00,034 --> 00:26:01,827
Hell yeah, I'd take it.

576
00:26:01,931 --> 00:26:02,655
-500 years?

577
00:26:02,758 --> 00:26:03,379
Sounds good to me.

578
00:26:03,482 --> 00:26:04,862
Off a pill?

579
00:26:04,965 --> 00:26:08,448
-Since I've been through two
cancer operations and six

580
00:26:08,551 --> 00:26:12,103
weeks of radiation,
I probably would.

581
00:26:12,206 --> 00:26:15,310
It would make sense.

582
00:26:15,413 --> 00:26:17,275
But I don't have to speak
to the Devil, do I?

583
00:26:17,379 --> 00:26:23,586
-The most significant revolution
of our lifetime

584
00:26:23,689 --> 00:26:26,206
will be the creation of
the ageless society.

585
00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:29,655
It will dwarf the creation
of the computer.

586
00:26:29,758 --> 00:26:32,034
Aging is no longer inevitable.

587
00:26:32,137 --> 00:26:35,413
Anti-aging medicines are
a very contained, very

588
00:26:35,517 --> 00:26:41,310
scientific, very objective
clinical science, but the

589
00:26:41,413 --> 00:26:46,482
anti-aging marketplace, you
know, is everything from Botox

590
00:26:46,586 --> 00:26:50,586
to plastic surgery to
sports medicine.

591
00:26:50,689 --> 00:26:57,482
So it's around the kernel of
what anti-aging medicine is.

592
00:26:57,586 --> 00:27:01,793
-I am proud to say I created the
Seven Dwarfs of menopause,

593
00:27:01,896 --> 00:27:05,862
and they are itchy, bitchy,
sleepy, sweaty, bloated,

594
00:27:05,965 --> 00:27:08,000
forgetful, and all dried up.

595
00:27:08,103 --> 00:27:11,379
For many years, they lived
inside my body.

596
00:27:11,482 --> 00:27:14,275
I just closed here in Las Vegas
a week ago, and people

597
00:27:14,379 --> 00:27:17,275
would come backstage because I
run and leap and jump and do

598
00:27:17,379 --> 00:27:19,103
and sing, and for 90 minutes
all by myself.

599
00:27:19,206 --> 00:27:25,206
And the constant comment was
where do you get the energy?

600
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:27,793
Good thing I'm on hormones!

601
00:27:27,896 --> 00:27:29,241
Oh, my God!

602
00:27:29,344 --> 00:27:30,655
Hormones are the
juice of youth.

603
00:27:30,758 --> 00:27:33,241
Hormones is what gives us
our quality of life.

604
00:27:33,344 --> 00:27:36,896
Every single time use squeeze
Thigh Master, you straighten

605
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,620
and tone right where
you need it.

606
00:27:38,724 --> 00:27:41,965
Everybody's focused on the
outside, but what I'm focused

607
00:27:42,068 --> 00:27:44,206
in is on the inside.

608
00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:48,827
I don't want my insides to have
accelerated aging because

609
00:27:48,931 --> 00:27:52,172
that's not going to serve me
well down the road, especially

610
00:27:52,275 --> 00:27:54,793
now that they're keeping us
alive longer than ever before.

611
00:27:54,896 --> 00:27:59,655
I love that I can be at 60 years
old and feel so good.

612
00:27:59,758 --> 00:28:01,206
It's not old anymore.

613
00:28:01,310 --> 00:28:04,241
DIANA SCHWARZBEIN [OFFSCREEN]:
As we get older, we lose the

614
00:28:04,344 --> 00:28:06,275
ability to rebuild ourselves.

615
00:28:06,379 --> 00:28:10,517
Our cells start to age, and they
lose the ability to make

616
00:28:10,620 --> 00:28:13,241
hormones, and hormones direct
the rebuilding process.

617
00:28:13,344 --> 00:28:14,793
-See, hormones are this.

618
00:28:14,896 --> 00:28:20,000
You go to the symphony, and
Zubin Mehta is the conductor.

619
00:28:20,103 --> 00:28:23,068
And in the symphony, all the
players are professional

620
00:28:23,172 --> 00:28:24,448
players, great players.

621
00:28:24,551 --> 00:28:27,896
That's why they're there,
they're the best.

622
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,379
The major hormones, adrenal and
cortisol, are Zubin Mehta.

623
00:28:32,482 --> 00:28:34,793
All the rest are the
professional players.

624
00:28:34,896 --> 00:28:38,241
If Zubin's out of sorts or
doesn't show up or is burned

625
00:28:38,344 --> 00:28:41,689
out, nobody knows what to do,
and so they all try to do it

626
00:28:41,793 --> 00:28:45,620
the best they can, but nothing's
working right.

627
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:47,482
[awkward music playing]

628
00:28:51,172 --> 00:28:53,931
So I got Zubin working
really well.

629
00:28:54,034 --> 00:28:56,931
My adrenals are pumping
out perfectly.

[good music playing]

631
00:29:01,310 --> 00:29:04,586
They're all playing the
same song, It's

632
00:29:04,689 --> 00:29:06,551
all in perfect tune.

633
00:29:06,655 --> 00:29:09,689
It's perfect inside me.

634
00:29:09,793 --> 00:29:15,137
I take estrogen, progesterone,
DHEA, pregnenolone,

635
00:29:15,241 --> 00:29:19,068
testosterone, HGH,
and melatonin.

636
00:29:19,172 --> 00:29:21,758
That's my song.

637
00:29:21,862 --> 00:29:26,137
And I do find that men, once
this light bulb goes off,

638
00:29:26,241 --> 00:29:27,689
they're the first ones
at the doctors.

639
00:29:27,793 --> 00:29:29,896
They're the first ones wanting
to do it, because what man

640
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,689
wants to lose his edge,
his maleness?

641
00:29:32,793 --> 00:29:34,206
-Do you know how often you
should go and have a bowel

642

643
00:29:35,896 --> 00:29:39,068
SUZANNE SOMERS [OFFSCREEN]: So
I look forward to being 100,

644
00:29:39,172 --> 00:29:43,241
120, and we actually
never have to die.

645
00:29:43,344 --> 00:29:45,586
-Will this make me live a longer
life, do you think?

646
00:29:45,689 --> 00:29:46,931
-Yes.

live to 100 or more,

650
00:29:54,517 --> 00:29:55,482
I want my brain.

651
00:29:55,586 --> 00:29:58,689
I do not want to live
without my brain.

652
00:29:58,793 --> 00:29:59,655
-OK.

653
00:29:59,758 --> 00:30:02,275
It's very special.

MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: If I
was to offer you a pill you

00:30:22,103 --> 00:30:25,448
could take that would make
you live 500 more years,

would you take it?

662
00:30:27,758 --> 00:30:29,482
-I wouldn't take it because
I wouldn't want

663
00:30:29,586 --> 00:30:30,586
to live that long.

664
00:30:30,689 --> 00:30:33,310
I don't know, there's
something very, um--

665
00:30:33,413 --> 00:30:36,275
it motivates me to know that
I have a limited time.

666
00:30:36,379 --> 00:30:38,482
-500 years is a long time,
long time to live.

667
00:30:38,586 --> 00:30:41,413
I think there's a reason why
we get old and die, just

668
00:30:41,517 --> 00:30:42,137

669
00:30:42,241 --> 00:30:44,206

No.

00:30:45,517 --> 00:30:47,172
I think everything has an
expiration date, and you

672
00:30:47,275 --> 00:30:49,448
shouldn't make it longer just
by taking some magical pill.

it's short?

SHERWIN NULAND [OFFSCREEN]: The
reason there's interest in

678
00:31:01,275 --> 00:31:05,379
people like Aubrey de Grey and
the other life extenders has

679
00:31:05,482 --> 00:31:10,034
to do with the temper of our
age, which I think of as

680
00:31:10,137 --> 00:31:11,586
narcissistic.

681
00:31:11,689 --> 00:31:15,586
There is something about my life
that is so important that

682
00:31:15,689 --> 00:31:20,517
it must continue on and on,
regardless of the demographic

683
00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:25,793
costs, regardless of the
environmental costs.

And were I to crowd this Earth,
there will be no way of

clearing the atmosphere of the
rancid staleness that has come

living to 200, even.

691
00:31:52,586 --> 00:31:54,413
I mean, I don't even know
whether I want to live to 100.

692
00:31:54,517 --> 00:31:57,551
But I do know that I'd like to
make that choice when I'm 99

693
00:31:57,655 --> 00:32:01,034
rather than having those choices
gradually taken away

694
00:32:01,137 --> 00:32:03,620
from me by my declining
health.

695
00:32:03,724 --> 00:32:09,068
-It's my debt to everything that
has come before me, and

696
00:32:09,172 --> 00:32:12,172
it's my obligation to everything
that comes after

697
00:32:12,275 --> 00:32:16,689
me, that I die within
my allotted time.

698
00:32:16,793 --> 00:32:19,965
-Lots of the people watching
this movie wouldn't be around

699
00:32:20,068 --> 00:32:21,965
if we hadn't, in fact,
extended who we are.

700
00:32:22,068 --> 00:32:24,965
Life expectancy was 23
a thousand years ago.

701
00:32:25,068 --> 00:32:27,655
So we go beyond our limitations,
and we're going

702
00:32:27,758 --> 00:32:29,137
to continue to do that.

703
00:32:29,241 --> 00:32:32,068
And that's not narcissistic,
that's creative.

704
00:32:32,172 --> 00:32:33,448
That's expanding our horizons.

705
00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:36,344
That's what being human
is all about.

706
00:32:36,448 --> 00:32:38,206
[music playing]

707
00:32:46,206 --> 00:32:48,448
-It's called Newton's
Mathematical Bridge because it

708
00:32:48,551 --> 00:32:51,241
was designed by Newton in honor
of the college where he

709
00:32:51,344 --> 00:32:52,689
was an undergraduate.

710
00:32:52,793 --> 00:32:55,655
So for me, I would obviously
like to benefit from the

711
00:32:55,758 --> 00:32:59,206
therapies that I work on, so
I've decided to sign up to be

712
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:02,655
cryopreserved at and when, if
I'm unlucky enough to die of

713
00:33:02,758 --> 00:33:06,172
anything related to old age or
anything, and that's because I

714
00:33:06,275 --> 00:33:09,241
feel that once you've decide
that living a long time would

715
00:33:09,344 --> 00:33:12,000
be a good thing, well, clearly
living a long time with a bit

716
00:33:12,103 --> 00:33:15,413
of a gap in the middle is
just as god a thing.

717
00:33:15,517 --> 00:33:17,379
[music playing]

718
00:33:29,103 --> 00:33:32,620
-Cryonics is an experimental
research project whereby

719
00:33:32,724 --> 00:33:35,689
people who are suffering from
incurable ailments today can

720
00:33:35,793 --> 00:33:40,206
be preserved in the hopes of
basically transporting them to

721
00:33:40,310 --> 00:33:42,827
a time where future medicine
can restore

722
00:33:42,931 --> 00:33:44,310
them to healthy life.

723
00:33:44,413 --> 00:33:47,827
We believe it is possible to
preserve a person and then

724
00:33:47,931 --> 00:33:49,241
ultimately bring them back.

725
00:33:49,344 --> 00:33:52,379
However, a lot of the technology
that's going to be

726
00:33:52,482 --> 00:33:56,655
required to wake these people
up has yet to be developed.

727
00:33:56,758 --> 00:33:59,862
ANNOUNCER [OFFSCREEN]: Ad the
pace of life all around us

728
00:33:59,965 --> 00:34:03,206
quickens, science is on the
verge of making mankind's

729
00:34:03,310 --> 00:34:06,379
dream of having more
time a reality.

730
00:34:06,482 --> 00:34:08,000
RABBI MORDECAI FINLEY
[OFFSCREEN]: Some people, they

731
00:34:08,103 --> 00:34:10,275
have more time, would just
fritter away more time.

732
00:34:10,379 --> 00:34:12,068
They wouldn't get anything done
because they had more

733
00:34:12,172 --> 00:34:14,379
time not to get things done.

734
00:34:14,482 --> 00:34:17,000
Other people would use their
time and live several

735
00:34:17,103 --> 00:34:18,931
different productive
lifetimes.

736
00:34:19,034 --> 00:34:20,551
Other folks would just
watch a lot more TV.

737
00:34:20,655 --> 00:34:22,724
-I'm not in any hurry to
see the other side.

738
00:34:22,827 --> 00:34:24,862
I'm, um--

739
00:34:24,965 --> 00:34:26,068
I think I will--

740
00:34:26,172 --> 00:34:27,620
I currently have two
graduate degrees.

741
00:34:27,724 --> 00:34:30,689
I think probably three, four,
five more would be great.

742
00:34:30,793 --> 00:34:31,827
I love to learn.

743
00:34:31,931 --> 00:34:34,137
I like to travel.

744
00:34:34,241 --> 00:34:35,586
I love my family.

745
00:34:35,689 --> 00:34:37,068
I would love to see my
great-great-great-grandkids.

746
00:34:37,172 --> 00:34:39,551
-This is Alcor Station
[inaudible].

747
00:34:39,655 --> 00:34:42,103
Our 83 patients are
currently stored.

748
00:34:42,206 --> 00:34:44,448
We currently have 10 [inaudible]
that are in

749
00:34:44,551 --> 00:34:45,551
operation right now.

750
00:34:45,655 --> 00:34:47,793
Each of them holds four
whole body patients

751
00:34:47,896 --> 00:34:50,000
inside, neuro patients.

752
00:34:50,103 --> 00:34:52,517
They in effect act as giant,
stainless steel thermos

753
00:34:52,620 --> 00:34:56,206
bottles requiring no
electricity, no support of any

754
00:34:56,310 --> 00:35:00,000
kind except for the occasional
addition of liquid nitrogen.

755
00:35:00,103 --> 00:35:01,517
This is one of our
whole body pods.

756
00:35:01,620 --> 00:35:05,551
Each whole body patient is
wrapped in a sleeping bad and

757
00:35:05,655 --> 00:35:07,724
strapped inside one
of these pods for

758
00:35:07,827 --> 00:35:09,241
the long-term storage.

759
00:35:09,344 --> 00:35:10,862
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: Does it
ever kind of creep you out

760
00:35:10,965 --> 00:35:12,896
to think that there are people
here that could be revived, or

761
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,172
sitting here?

762
00:35:14,275 --> 00:35:15,517
-I'm not creeped out by
the fact that there

763
00:35:15,620 --> 00:35:17,000
are people in here.

764
00:35:17,103 --> 00:35:18,344
I'm actually quite excited.

765
00:35:18,448 --> 00:35:19,758
I know quite a few of them.

766
00:35:19,862 --> 00:35:21,206
They're my friends.

767
00:35:21,310 --> 00:35:22,620
I would love to see them again,
and it'll be one great

768
00:35:22,724 --> 00:35:24,793
party when they come back.

769
00:35:24,896 --> 00:35:26,620
-I'm not anxious to be dead.

770
00:35:26,724 --> 00:35:30,724
If it works, I'll be part of
history and part of the future

771
00:35:30,827 --> 00:35:32,172
at the same time.

772
00:35:32,275 --> 00:35:35,206
-You know, as a science fiction
fan, it was something

773
00:35:35,310 --> 00:35:37,758
that was extremely compelling
to me and didn't really

774
00:35:37,862 --> 00:35:39,448
requirement much thought.

775
00:35:39,551 --> 00:35:42,000
I signed up basically right
away, as soon as I found out

776
00:35:42,103 --> 00:35:44,931
it was happening for real.

777
00:35:45,034 --> 00:35:48,965
Our membership demographic has
traditionally included a lot

778
00:35:49,068 --> 00:35:51,827
of engineers, scientists.

779
00:35:51,931 --> 00:35:54,103
We see that demographic
changing now.

780
00:35:54,206 --> 00:35:56,482
What we're seeing is more
families signing up.

781
00:35:56,586 --> 00:36:00,103
Husbands, wives, a couple of
kids, because nobody wants to

782
00:36:00,206 --> 00:36:01,517
go into the future alone.

783
00:36:03,931 --> 00:36:07,586
-I worry that my family hasn't
signed up, but I'm not the

784
00:36:07,689 --> 00:36:10,413
pushy type despite having been
a life insurance agent.

785
00:36:10,517 --> 00:36:12,793
My wife is not certain that
she wants to sign up for

786
00:36:12,896 --> 00:36:13,931
cryonics yet.

787
00:36:14,034 --> 00:36:14,827
She's still wrestling
with that.

788
00:36:14,931 --> 00:36:17,137
She's not quite as sure.

789
00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:21,103
But I also realize that people
do move on after

790
00:36:21,206 --> 00:36:22,379
death in the family.

791
00:36:22,482 --> 00:36:24,724
People do move on after
bad things happen.

792
00:36:24,827 --> 00:36:33,000
And so, I'll make a new future
if, um, if it comes to that.

793
00:36:33,103 --> 00:36:35,620
-It seems like a good
idea to me.

794
00:36:35,724 --> 00:36:36,586
I'm enjoying life.

795
00:36:36,689 --> 00:36:37,206
I think life's wonderful.

796
00:36:37,310 --> 00:36:38,482
-Not me.

797
00:36:38,586 --> 00:36:39,724
I don't want to live with him
for another 500 years.

798
00:36:39,827 --> 00:36:40,586
-No, that's right.

799
00:36:40,689 --> 00:36:41,758
She doesn't want to.

800
00:36:41,862 --> 00:36:43,310
I could get another
woman, though.

801
00:36:43,413 --> 00:36:44,655
But I mean, the thing is, just
think of the fun you'd have.

802
00:36:44,758 --> 00:36:45,620
Fantastic.

803
00:36:45,724 --> 00:36:47,034
I've had so much fun now.

804
00:36:47,137 --> 00:36:50,172
I'm scared of dying because
I'm going to miss out.

805
00:36:50,275 --> 00:36:53,206
-So Mark, I've been wondering,
what moves you

806
00:36:53,310 --> 00:36:54,689
to make this movie?

807
00:36:54,793 --> 00:36:58,379
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: I'm,
uh, I just want more.

808
00:36:58,482 --> 00:36:59,379
-More of life.

809
00:36:59,482 --> 00:37:00,413
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]:
More of life.

810
00:37:00,517 --> 00:37:01,689
And I feel like--

811
00:37:01,793 --> 00:37:03,827
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: This
is my friend, Pico Iyer.

812
00:37:03,931 --> 00:37:05,793
He's probably the sanest
person I know.

813
00:37:05,896 --> 00:37:08,931
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: And do
things, have experiences I

814
00:37:09,034 --> 00:37:10,448
haven't had before.

815
00:37:10,551 --> 00:37:13,000
-Is that-- so that suggests that
you don't feel a sense of

816
00:37:13,103 --> 00:37:14,862
fulfillment.

817
00:37:14,965 --> 00:37:16,241
Huh.

818
00:37:16,344 --> 00:37:17,724
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: Besides
being a successful

819
00:37:17,827 --> 00:37:21,620
writer, he's traveled just about
everywhere in the world.

820
00:37:21,724 --> 00:37:25,827
He has a youthful spirit and a
wisdom beyond his 50 years.

821
00:37:25,931 --> 00:37:28,655
-I think what we're seeing right
now is that everybody's

822
00:37:28,758 --> 00:37:33,793
excitingly jumping on the
bandwagon of extended life and

823
00:37:33,896 --> 00:37:37,103
new possibilities, but it's
too early to see what the

824
00:37:37,206 --> 00:37:38,689
shadow side is or what
the cost is.

825
00:37:38,793 --> 00:37:42,758
And so we're like people in a
restaurant greedily ordering

826
00:37:42,862 --> 00:37:46,137
more and more dishes and not
realizing that at some point

827
00:37:46,241 --> 00:37:47,482
the bill is going to
be presented, and

828
00:37:47,586 --> 00:37:48,724
we're going to faint.

829
00:37:48,827 --> 00:37:51,586
So it's going to be much
different than we imagined.

830
00:37:51,689 --> 00:37:53,758
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]:
Maybe Pico has a point.

831
00:37:53,862 --> 00:37:57,206
Even though I'm hungry for as
much life as I can get, how

832
00:37:57,310 --> 00:38:00,793
would I fill up 500 years,
1,000 years?

833
00:38:00,896 --> 00:38:03,344
-Would you like to
give it a try?

834
00:38:03,448 --> 00:38:04,448
-Sure.

835
00:38:04,551 --> 00:38:06,379
-The cost of a cryopreservation
is $150,000

836
00:38:06,482 --> 00:38:11,206
for the whole body, and
it's $80,000 for a

837
00:38:11,310 --> 00:38:13,965
brain-only neuro patient.

838
00:38:14,068 --> 00:38:15,000
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]:
I mean, that

839
00:38:15,103 --> 00:38:17,586
can get really expensive.

840
00:38:17,689 --> 00:38:20,655
How many careers will
I have to pursue?

841
00:38:20,758 --> 00:38:22,241
How many marriages?

842
00:38:22,344 --> 00:38:26,068
How many documentaries are
out there to make?

843
00:38:26,172 --> 00:38:29,413
Does a really long life
guarantee us a filled one?

844
00:38:29,517 --> 00:38:31,068
PICO IYER [OFFSCREEN]: One thing
I've noticed in the last

845
00:38:31,172 --> 00:38:34,310
few years in my own life is that
I seek out older people,

846
00:38:34,413 --> 00:38:36,172
much more than I used to.

847
00:38:36,275 --> 00:38:39,931
And it's as if they've climbed
to the top of the mountain,

848
00:38:40,034 --> 00:38:43,034
and they're looking out on a
much broader expanse than the

849
00:38:43,137 --> 00:38:45,379
rest of us who are still huffing
and puffing, not even

850
00:38:45,482 --> 00:38:48,724
knowing if we'll get
to the peak or not.

851
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:50,827
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: I
decided to ask the winners of

852
00:38:50,931 --> 00:38:54,586
life's lottery, some of the
oldest people in the world.

853
00:38:54,689 --> 00:39:00,103
But to find them, I
needed some help.

854
00:39:00,206 --> 00:39:02,413
ROBERT YOUNG [OFFSCREEN]: Well,
as the senior consultant

855
00:39:02,517 --> 00:39:05,413
for Geritol [inaudible] for
Guinness World Records, my job

856
00:39:05,517 --> 00:39:10,344
is basically to decide for
Guinness who is the world's

857
00:39:10,448 --> 00:39:13,827
oldest person according to
scientific concepts.

858
00:39:13,931 --> 00:39:17,172
The point is is they don't want
somebody to get a record

859
00:39:17,275 --> 00:39:20,586
and to be embarrassed by
investigation that finds out

860
00:39:20,689 --> 00:39:23,517
that it's not true.

861
00:39:23,620 --> 00:39:26,896
We have people exaggerate
their age for

862
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,448
any number of reasons.

863
00:39:28,551 --> 00:39:31,310
We have people claim to be I'm
divinely blessed by God, and

864
00:39:31,413 --> 00:39:33,586
if you give me money, you're
going to life to be 120.

865
00:39:33,689 --> 00:39:36,172
We've had people claim that
this is a spiritual thing,

866
00:39:36,275 --> 00:39:37,758
that it's a religious thing.

867
00:39:37,862 --> 00:39:39,344
And then we have bragging
rights.

868
00:39:39,448 --> 00:39:42,482
People exaggerate their age to
say my people live longer than

869
00:39:42,586 --> 00:39:45,034
your people.

870
00:39:45,137 --> 00:39:47,551
I'm more interested in both
a quantitative and

871
00:39:47,655 --> 00:39:48,931
a qualitative approach.

872
00:39:49,034 --> 00:39:50,862
I want to know about
their history.

873
00:39:50,965 --> 00:39:52,241
I want to know how
they managed to

874
00:39:52,344 --> 00:39:53,482
survive such a long time.

875
00:39:53,586 --> 00:39:55,758
I want to know about
their positive or

876
00:39:55,862 --> 00:39:57,241
negative mental state.

877
00:39:57,344 --> 00:40:00,586

-What?

881
00:40:05,517 --> 00:40:07,689
ROBERT YOUNG [OFFSCREEN]: We
often find that these people

882
00:40:07,793 --> 00:40:09,275
have stories to tell.

883
00:40:09,379 --> 00:40:12,793
It helps to remind people
that, you know, history

884
00:40:12,896 --> 00:40:14,482
doesn't have to be dead.

885
00:40:14,586 --> 00:40:17,620
So you are now the world's third
oldest person according

886
00:40:17,724 --> 00:40:21,206
to "Guinness Book Of World
Records." So, I'm here to

887
00:40:21,310 --> 00:40:23,655
bring you this copy.

888
00:40:23,758 --> 00:40:24,482
-That's for you.

889
00:40:24,586 --> 00:40:25,551
-That's for you.

890
00:40:25,655 --> 00:40:27,517
I'll be back next year
if you're going to

891
00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:28,862
be here next year.

892
00:40:28,965 --> 00:40:29,620
-OK.

893
00:40:29,724 --> 00:40:30,793
I'll be here.

894
00:40:30,896 --> 00:40:32,137

895
00:40:32,241 --> 00:40:34,482
-Don't want to settle
for third place now.

896

ROBERT YOUNG [OFFSCREEN]:
Sometimes you make friends

897
00:40:36,137 --> 00:40:37,551
with these people.

898
00:40:37,655 --> 00:40:40,758
Normally, I try to only make
friends with them if they

899
00:40:40,862 --> 00:40:44,034
appear to be in good shape
because if they look like

900
00:40:44,137 --> 00:40:47,344
they're nearing the end of
the line, I don't want to

901
00:40:47,448 --> 00:40:51,413
emotionally invest in someone
that is fixing to pass away.

902
00:40:51,517 --> 00:40:55,241
And in cases where the person
appears to be healthy, such as

903
00:40:55,344 --> 00:40:58,137
Bettie Wilson or Susie Gibson,
I was able to emotionally

904
00:40:58,241 --> 00:40:59,793
invest in them because I
realized that they would

905
00:40:59,896 --> 00:41:02,586
probably survive at least a
year, and we know that many

906
00:41:02,689 --> 00:41:06,206
average friendships don't last
more than a year or two.

909
00:41:23,965 --> 00:41:25,724
ROBERT YOUNG [OFFSCREEN]: I'm
realizing over time that I

910
00:41:25,827 --> 00:41:28,896
used to believe you have 100%,
100% of the time, and I

911
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
realize that you're simply
going to burn

912
00:41:31,103 --> 00:41:32,448
yourself out and die young.

913
00:41:32,551 --> 00:41:35,241
And most of the people, it's
more of a 90% solution.

914
00:41:35,344 --> 00:41:39,413
You have 90%, 90% of the time,
they're steady, they get up

915
00:41:39,517 --> 00:41:41,655
the same time every day, they
go to bed at the same time

916
00:41:41,758 --> 00:41:45,000
every day, they eat the same
thing on Wednesday that they

917
00:41:45,103 --> 00:41:46,241
ate last Wednesday.

918
00:41:46,344 --> 00:41:47,931
They don't get upset
about things.

919
00:41:48,034 --> 00:41:50,034
They maintain family
connections.

920
00:41:50,137 --> 00:41:52,689
They're just generally positive
people, but they're

921
00:41:52,793 --> 00:41:54,896
realistic people as well.

922
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,379
How did you get this far?

923
00:41:57,482 --> 00:41:58,137
-Hmm?

924
00:41:58,241 --> 00:41:59,172
-How did you get this far?

925
00:41:59,275 --> 00:42:00,448
How did you get this far?

926
00:42:00,551 --> 00:42:02,620
-Ask the Lord, because
I can't tell you.

927
00:42:02,724 --> 00:42:04,758
ROBERT YOUNG [OFFSCREEN]: The
that are living to be 114,

928
00:42:04,862 --> 00:42:09,517
120, in addition to having all
the proper genes, they also

929
00:42:09,620 --> 00:42:12,827
has a positive mental attitude,
and they made the

930
00:42:12,931 --> 00:42:14,689
most out of their genetic
inheritance.

931

There's a difference between

Long life means living a long
time, even if you're

confined to a bed.

936
00:42:57,862 --> 00:43:01,206
Longevity means you are healthy
and happy until the

937

day you die, so you die quickly
and peacefully.

938
00:43:10,896 --> 00:43:12,413
DR. CRAIG WILCOX [OFFSCREEN]:
One of the things that

939
00:43:12,517 --> 00:43:15,413
interested us about the
Okinawans was their very low

940
00:43:15,517 --> 00:43:19,275
rates of diseases associated
with the aging process,

941
00:43:19,379 --> 00:43:24,137
particularly the big three
killers, heart disease,

942
00:43:24,241 --> 00:43:26,896
cancers, and stroke.

943
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,586
Living to the age of 100 is not
an unusual thing, so 70 is

944
00:43:31,689 --> 00:43:32,931
very young.

945
00:43:33,034 --> 00:43:34,655
80, well, you're starting
to get up there.

946
00:43:34,758 --> 00:43:38,103
90, well, a little bit, but
you're still going.

947
00:43:38,206 --> 00:43:41,068
OK, maybe I'm thinking about
going to the other world at

948
00:43:41,172 --> 00:43:44,689
age 100, but any time before
that is too soon.

949
00:43:48,793 --> 00:43:52,137
What we're finding in our
studies is a lot higher levels

950
00:43:52,241 --> 00:43:56,275
of disability as people age
in America versus Okinawa.

951
00:43:56,379 --> 00:43:59,206
People are not only living
longer in Okinawa.

952
00:43:59,310 --> 00:44:02,896
They're living longer and
in better health.

953
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,379
If we talk figures, we're
looking at approximately seven

954
00:44:06,482 --> 00:44:10,172
years of disability at the end
of your life in America versus

955
00:44:10,275 --> 00:44:14,413
about two and a half
in Okinawa.

956
00:44:14,517 --> 00:44:17,275
If you look at why the Okinawans
live so long, we've

957
00:44:17,379 --> 00:44:19,413
boiled it down to four
main factors.

958
00:44:19,517 --> 00:44:20,413
One is diet.

959
00:44:20,517 --> 00:44:22,896
It's a very low-calorie
diet but very

960
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,034
high in nutrient density.

961
00:44:25,137 --> 00:44:28,517
Yeah, this would be a typical
Okinawan meal.

962
00:44:28,620 --> 00:44:31,206
We've got a little
bit of fish here.

963
00:44:31,310 --> 00:44:33,379
This is actually a bonito.

964
00:44:33,482 --> 00:44:38,586
It's a tuna fish, very high
in omega-3 fatty acids.

965
00:44:38,689 --> 00:44:40,000
This is sea grapes.

966
00:44:40,103 --> 00:44:42,620
They're a type of seaweed.

967
00:44:42,724 --> 00:44:46,103
One of the reasons why the
Okinawans have lived so long,

968
00:44:46,206 --> 00:44:48,689
because of this very
nutrient-rich,

969
00:44:48,793 --> 00:44:51,827
calorie-poor diet.

970
00:44:51,931 --> 00:44:56,827
The key combo, full of
micro-nutrients antioxidants,

971
00:44:56,931 --> 00:44:58,551
flavonoids.

972
00:44:58,655 --> 00:44:59,827
-So low calorie density.

973
00:44:59,931 --> 00:45:01,689
You're eating a lot of food that
actually the calories in

974
00:45:01,793 --> 00:45:04,965
that quantity or that weight
of food is way less.

975
00:45:05,068 --> 00:45:05,827
-Exactly.

976
00:45:05,931 --> 00:45:07,413
Calories per grams.

977
00:45:07,517 --> 00:45:11,413
So you're eating more food int
total volume, but it has much

978
00:45:11,517 --> 00:45:14,862
less calories in it, so
you get fuller faster,

979
00:45:14,965 --> 00:45:16,586
and you stay full.

980
00:45:16,689 --> 00:45:20,344
The second thing that we've
looked at is how active these

981
00:45:20,448 --> 00:45:21,310
people are.

982
00:45:21,413 --> 00:45:23,068
You don't see these
older people out

983
00:45:23,172 --> 00:45:24,137
jogging on the street.

984
00:45:24,241 --> 00:45:26,241
They're not going to the gym.

985
00:45:26,344 --> 00:45:28,862
They're gardening,
they're walking.

986
00:45:28,965 --> 00:45:30,344
They love traditional dance.

987
00:45:30,448 --> 00:45:34,310
These activities are not things
they consciously follow

988
00:45:34,413 --> 00:45:36,103
to keep active and healthy.

989
00:45:36,206 --> 00:45:37,551
They're things they
do because they're

990
00:45:37,655 --> 00:45:39,724
part of their lifestyle.

991
00:45:39,827 --> 00:45:43,206
When we're looking at these very
old people, almost all of

992
00:45:43,310 --> 00:45:46,379
them have something that gets
them out of bed in the

993
00:45:46,482 --> 00:45:50,034
morning, something what
they call in Japan is

994
00:45:50,137 --> 00:45:51,448
[speaking japanese].

995
00:45:51,551 --> 00:45:54,586
There's a fisherman I know
up in the village.

996
00:45:54,689 --> 00:46:00,482
His name is Nakamura Zeneisan,
and his [speaking japanese],

997
00:46:00,586 --> 00:46:04,862
what gets him going every day,
is fishing, fishing done in a

998
00:46:04,965 --> 00:46:07,310
traditional way.

999
00:46:07,413 --> 00:46:09,655
In Okinawa, there's no
word for retirement.

1000
00:46:09,758 --> 00:46:13,206
People just keep on going with
what they've been doing.

1001
00:46:13,310 --> 00:46:18,310
They slow down, of course, but
they keep involved in some

1002
00:46:18,413 --> 00:46:21,172
kind of activity throughout
their lives.

1003
00:46:32,896 --> 00:46:37,758
It's my experience that people
in Okinawa are much more

1004
00:46:37,862 --> 00:46:40,758
relaxed, happy go lucky.

1005
00:46:40,862 --> 00:46:44,103
Things operate at a little
slower pace in Okinawa.

1006
00:46:44,206 --> 00:46:45,517
Nobody's ever on time.

1007
00:46:49,793 --> 00:46:54,103
I've been fishing with
Nakamurasan in the past, and I

1008
00:46:54,206 --> 00:46:56,517
was diving with diving gear.

1009
00:46:56,620 --> 00:47:01,103
All he had on were his little
handmade goggles,

1010
00:47:01,206 --> 00:47:03,793
no fins, and a wetsuit.

1011
00:47:06,310 --> 00:47:10,586
And I couldn't keep
up with him.

1012
00:47:10,689 --> 00:47:14,862
How many 92-year-old fishermen
do you know are out there

1013
00:47:14,965 --> 00:47:18,482
fishing the traditional way, not
just in a boat with a rod,

1014
00:47:18,586 --> 00:47:23,724
but diving without air, putting
the nets under the

1015
00:47:23,827 --> 00:47:27,620
water, chasing the
fish in there.

1016
00:47:27,724 --> 00:47:30,724
It's absolutely amazing.

1017
00:47:30,827 --> 00:47:35,793
-If I lived another 100 years,
it wouldn't change because

1018
00:47:35,896 --> 00:47:40,344
there'd be the excitement of
being alive, and getting up in

1019
00:47:40,448 --> 00:47:43,931
the morning, and saying which
way do I jump today?

1020
00:47:44,034 --> 00:47:45,448
How do I explode?

1021
00:47:45,551 --> 00:47:49,344
I put a stick of dynamite in my
mouth and light the fuse,

1022
00:47:49,448 --> 00:47:53,000
and it blows the hell
out of my head.

1026
00:50:33,931 --> 00:50:35,448
I've seen people age
so differently.

I've seen some people become
bitter and cynical and

1028
00:50:38,379 --> 00:50:42,310
defeated and broken, and I've
seen others become luminous

1029
00:50:42,413 --> 00:50:45,862
and joyful and radiant
as they age.

1030
00:50:45,965 --> 00:50:47,827
It's not that when they were 80
years old, they could run

1031
00:50:47,931 --> 00:50:51,172
the 100 yard dash as fast as
when they were 20, but they

1032
00:50:51,275 --> 00:50:52,758
weren't trying to do that.

1033
00:50:52,862 --> 00:50:55,965
They were in touch with the
beauties and the opportunities

1034
00:50:56,068 --> 00:50:57,344
of each life stage.

1035
00:51:03,827 --> 00:51:05,310
ELLSWORTH WAREHAM [OFFSCREEN]:
I think everything can be

1036
00:51:05,413 --> 00:51:08,344
divided into two big
classifications pretty much,

1037
00:51:08,448 --> 00:51:10,931
and that is the things you can
do something about and the

1038
00:51:11,034 --> 00:51:12,758
things you can't do
anything about.

1039
00:51:12,862 --> 00:51:17,620
I don't go to bed at night and
try to solve the problems of

1040
00:51:17,724 --> 00:51:22,758
tomorrow or in the past.

1041
00:51:22,862 --> 00:51:27,758
I don't have any fear about
becoming mentally incompetent

1042
00:51:27,862 --> 00:51:32,689
because I don't find myself
deteriorating in that area so

1043
00:51:32,793 --> 00:51:37,586
much as I do in my physique,
as far as what I can do

1044
00:51:37,689 --> 00:51:38,793
physically.

1045
00:51:41,034 --> 00:51:43,793
I've been a cardiothoracic
surgeon all my

1046
00:51:43,896 --> 00:51:45,172
professional life.

1047
00:51:48,862 --> 00:51:53,137
There's a sort of a general
opinion that people at my age

1048
00:51:53,241 --> 00:51:56,310
are inclined to be incompetent,
and I don't want

1049
00:51:56,413 --> 00:52:00,655
them to think that they're
getting poor care so I don't

1050
00:52:00,758 --> 00:52:04,000
mention my age very often.

1051
00:52:04,103 --> 00:52:08,862
But I have thought maybe I
might quit at, say, 95.

1052
00:52:08,965 --> 00:52:12,448
It's a round figure, you see.

1053
00:52:12,551 --> 00:52:15,275
I suppose when I quit being in
the operating room, I'll miss

1054
00:52:15,379 --> 00:52:18,655
it, because it's a sort of
a social life, you know?

1055
00:52:18,758 --> 00:52:21,655
Those are very fine people you
work with, and you get

1056
00:52:21,758 --> 00:52:24,965
acquainted with them, and
there's a social interaction

1057
00:52:25,068 --> 00:52:26,379
that goes on.

1058
00:52:26,482 --> 00:52:29,344
And I'll miss that, but I'll
find other things to do.

1059
00:52:36,758 --> 00:52:40,206
I sort of look at all my life as
being in chapters, and when

1060
00:52:40,310 --> 00:52:42,896
a chapter's over, I close
it, and that's that.

1061
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,000
So the day I quit work, why,
I'll find something else to

1062
00:52:47,103 --> 00:52:48,655
keep myself occupied.

1063
00:52:52,206 --> 00:52:57,620
If I didn't have something that
I work at, then I would

1064
00:52:57,724 --> 00:53:01,758
be inclined, I think, to be
much more lethargic and to

1065
00:53:01,862 --> 00:53:05,793
give in to my periods of fatigue
or whatever it is that

1066
00:53:05,896 --> 00:53:08,310
you have when you're old.

1067
00:53:08,413 --> 00:53:09,103
-[laughing]

1068
00:53:09,206 --> 00:53:10,827
You worked 15 hours yesterday!

1069
00:53:10,931 --> 00:53:13,000
ELLSWORTH WAREHAM [OFFSCREEN]:
But when I go into the

1070
00:53:13,103 --> 00:53:15,275
operating room, there's
something about it that it

1071
00:53:15,379 --> 00:53:18,068
stimulates me, that it's
a challenge there.

1072
00:53:18,172 --> 00:53:22,413
And my body then draws on its
reserves, and I feel a

1073
00:53:22,517 --> 00:53:25,517
energetic while I'm doing the
surgery, and I feel energetic

1074
00:53:25,620 --> 00:53:26,724
when I'm finished.

1075
00:53:26,827 --> 00:53:29,965
And that's one of the reasons
why I keep it up.

1076
00:53:30,068 --> 00:53:32,103
[music playing]

1077
00:54:07,206 --> 00:54:09,275
[rock music playing]

1078
00:54:19,896 --> 00:54:21,655
BUSTER MARTIN [OFFSCREEN]: You
wouldn't have wanted to know

1079
00:54:21,758 --> 00:54:23,206
me when I was a kid.

1080
00:54:23,310 --> 00:54:27,965
They used to call me the little
bastard because you

1081
00:54:28,068 --> 00:54:30,758
never knew what I was
getting up to.

1082
00:54:33,517 --> 00:54:35,413
SCOTT MULLINS [OFFSCREEN]:
Buster's the oldest employee

1083
00:54:35,517 --> 00:54:36,689
in [inaudible].

1084
00:54:36,793 --> 00:54:39,172
He specifically washes the vans,
and we're privileged to

1085
00:54:39,275 --> 00:54:41,068
have the guy working for us.

1086
00:54:41,172 --> 00:54:42,689
And I mean, he puts the
youngsters to shame at times.

1087
00:54:42,793 --> 00:54:45,724
You know, sometimes you hear
the youngsters huffing and

1088
00:54:45,827 --> 00:54:47,000
puffing a little bit.

1089
00:54:47,103 --> 00:54:48,448
Not Buster.

1090
00:54:48,551 --> 00:54:51,310
He smokes, he drinks, he's out
all hours, but the guy's

1091
00:54:51,413 --> 00:54:53,793
always in on time, you know?

1092
00:54:53,896 --> 00:54:56,103
SAMM MULLINS [OFFSCREEN]: Well,
we started training for

1093
00:54:56,206 --> 00:54:58,931
the London Marathon
six months ago.

1094
00:54:59,034 --> 00:55:00,482
He's done one.

1095
00:55:00,586 --> 00:55:02,862
Now he wants to do the one up
in Edinburgh in Scotland, so

1096
00:55:02,965 --> 00:55:04,379
there's no holding
him back now.

1097
00:55:04,482 --> 00:55:06,172
He wants to keep doing them, and
if he wants to keep doing

1098
00:55:06,275 --> 00:55:07,827
them, I'll keep training him.

1099
00:55:11,172 --> 00:55:12,965
BUSTER MARTIN [OFFSCREEN]:
I've always been fit.

1100
00:55:13,068 --> 00:55:14,931
I don't eat fish.

1101
00:55:15,034 --> 00:55:18,275
I don't eat dairy products.

1102
00:55:18,379 --> 00:55:20,689
I do not need red meat, veg.

1103
00:55:20,793 --> 00:55:23,000
I don't drink tea.

1104
00:55:23,103 --> 00:55:27,310
I don't drink water.

1105
00:55:27,413 --> 00:55:31,068
No, I don't drink any
water in a marathon.

1106
00:55:31,172 --> 00:55:32,724
Give me a beer.

1107
00:55:32,827 --> 00:55:35,724
Yeah, I'll have that.

1108
00:55:35,827 --> 00:55:37,103
That's different.

1109
00:56:05,620 --> 00:56:07,586
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: How
many years have you been

1110
00:56:07,689 --> 00:56:09,482
smoking for?

1111
00:56:09,586 --> 00:56:11,689
-Since I was seven.

1112
00:56:11,793 --> 00:56:13,896
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: Can you
say, "I was smoking since

1113
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,068
I was seven?" Sorry, Buster.

1114
00:56:16,172 --> 00:56:17,551
-I just said that!

1115
00:56:17,655 --> 00:56:19,206
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: I know,
but we're cutting out my

1116
00:56:19,310 --> 00:56:21,758
questions for the interviews,
so could you answer the

1117
00:56:21,862 --> 00:56:23,241
question again, if you could?

1118
00:56:23,344 --> 00:56:25,724
-How about you answer your
question to come first, and

1119
00:56:25,827 --> 00:56:30,758
then my answer like it's just
I'm waiting for a cue?

1120
00:56:30,862 --> 00:56:32,344
That's not how I speak.

1121
00:56:32,448 --> 00:56:38,000
You ask me a question, and I'll
answer it straight away.

1122
00:56:38,103 --> 00:56:40,827
So if it intermingles
with yours, that is

1123
00:56:40,931 --> 00:56:42,655
complication, isn't it?

1124
00:56:42,758 --> 00:56:45,551
See, he asked me to keep
repeating his words.

1125
00:56:45,655 --> 00:56:46,103
I just--

1126
00:56:46,206 --> 00:56:47,000
I'm following--

1127
00:56:47,103 --> 00:56:48,689
[interposing voices]

1128
00:56:48,793 --> 00:56:50,827
-Look, don't try
and put words!

1129
00:56:50,931 --> 00:56:52,448
I'm not an actor!

1130
00:56:55,689 --> 00:56:57,517
ELEANOR WASSON [OFFSCREEN]:
Oh, Mark, my life's always

1131
00:56:57,620 --> 00:57:01,137
been wonderful, but the best
part of it was over 50.

1132
00:57:01,241 --> 00:57:03,758
You don't care anymore about
what people think about you.

1133
00:57:03,862 --> 00:57:05,379
You're just your own person.

1134
00:57:05,482 --> 00:57:09,379
You've accumulated a lot of
information and knowledge, and

1135
00:57:09,482 --> 00:57:10,965
you're ready for new
adventures, and

1136
00:57:11,068 --> 00:57:13,137
you take them freely.

1137
00:57:13,241 --> 00:57:16,137
It's a good time to be.

1138
00:57:16,241 --> 00:57:21,000
I wrote a book that's called
"28,000 Martinis," and I'm a

1139
00:57:21,103 --> 00:57:23,103
vegetarian because I don't
believe in killing.

1140
00:57:23,206 --> 00:57:26,655
You know, there are lots of
vegetables and fruits, but I

1141
00:57:26,758 --> 00:57:30,000
always have vodka every night.

1142
00:57:30,103 --> 00:57:31,586
The book is about martinis.

1143
00:57:31,689 --> 00:57:32,758
It's about evolution.

1144
00:57:32,862 --> 00:57:38,448
It's about my life
and my family.

1145
00:57:38,551 --> 00:57:39,620
So

1146
00:57:39,724 --> 00:57:41,758
I remember--

1147
00:57:41,862 --> 00:57:46,103
I think the most vivid memory
of my whole 100 years is the

1148
00:57:46,206 --> 00:57:50,068
day that peace was declared, the
First World War, because

1149
00:57:50,172 --> 00:57:52,724
we were told there would
never be another war.

1150
00:57:55,551 --> 00:57:59,758
Just think how you would feel
if you really believed there

1151
00:57:59,862 --> 00:58:01,000
would never be another war.

1152
00:58:01,103 --> 00:58:03,000
Wouldn't it be wonderful?

1153
00:58:03,103 --> 00:58:06,689
If only is it become
a reality.

1154
00:58:06,793 --> 00:58:10,379
My husband and I, we saw the
approaching of the Second

1155
00:58:10,482 --> 00:58:13,310
World War, and we said, well,
when the war comes, we want to

1156
00:58:13,413 --> 00:58:16,827
be able to do something, but
we're too old to join the Army

1157
00:58:16,931 --> 00:58:17,827
or the Navy.

1158
00:58:17,931 --> 00:58:19,793
And we had children, anyway.

1159
00:58:19,896 --> 00:58:21,896
Uh, what can we do?

1160
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:28,724
We said perhaps we can learn to
fly so we can ferry ships.

1161
00:58:28,827 --> 00:58:31,172
So we learned to fly.

1162
00:58:31,275 --> 00:58:33,655
I don't believe in a God, and
I don't go to church.

1163
00:58:33,758 --> 00:58:35,068
I don't believe in churches.

1164
00:58:35,172 --> 00:58:36,896
I think they're too
controlling.

1165
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,241
I believe there are only
really three laws.

1166
00:58:39,344 --> 00:58:41,241
One, the law of cause
and affect.

1167
00:58:41,344 --> 00:58:44,137
What you give out comes
back to you.

1168
00:58:44,241 --> 00:58:47,034
The others, free will
and free choice.

1169
00:58:47,137 --> 00:58:49,758
People say, why did God
let that happen?

1170
00:58:49,862 --> 00:58:51,172
God didn't let it happen.

1171
00:58:51,275 --> 00:58:54,551
We let it happen by making
bad choices.

1172
00:58:54,655 --> 00:58:57,689
And then the most important
one is the law of love.

1173
00:58:57,793 --> 00:59:00,206
I don't think one person could
possibly learn all those

1174
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:04,310
things in one life, so I think
this is a kindergarten.

1175
00:59:04,413 --> 00:59:08,896
I think we're here to learn all
of those special lessons.

1176
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,206
I'm thinking of writing
a book on miracles.

1177
00:59:12,310 --> 00:59:16,482
One miracle that I love is
that I was working with a

1178
00:59:16,586 --> 00:59:21,000
committee to banish
nuclear weapons.

1179
00:59:21,103 --> 00:59:23,275
Unfortunately, we thought
we were getting

1180
00:59:23,379 --> 00:59:24,793
somewhere, but we didn't.

1181
00:59:33,448 --> 00:59:34,551
We--

1182
00:59:37,206 --> 00:59:40,551
you know, one thing I don't
want you to do is tell

1183
00:59:40,655 --> 00:59:43,068
yourself you're going to
forget, because you do.

1184
00:59:43,172 --> 00:59:46,620
I can't remember where I was.

MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: My
mother struggled with dementia

1187
00:59:54,827 --> 00:59:58,413
in her later years, and every
time I forget a name or an

1188

interview question, which I
confess is happening more and

1189
01:00:01,517 --> 01:00:05,413
more, I worry that the illness
is creeping up on me as well.

01:00:20,586 --> 01:00:23,586
Circuit Training program in an
environment that's conducive

1194
01:00:23,689 --> 01:00:24,827
to a good work out.

1195
01:00:33,862 --> 01:00:36,620
Just like at the gym where you
might have someone telling you

1196
01:00:36,724 --> 01:00:40,172
how many reps to do on which
machine, which day, we have a

1197
01:00:40,275 --> 01:00:41,586
similar program here.

1198
01:00:50,586 --> 01:00:53,448
So as you can see, the gym
consists of 20 different

1199
01:00:53,551 --> 01:00:56,241
computer stations, and I'd love
to show you some of the

1200
01:00:56,344 --> 01:00:58,241
games, if you'd like to
walk through yourself.

1201
01:00:58,344 --> 01:00:59,586
-Great.

1202
01:00:59,689 --> 01:01:01,172
So I'm finding recently I walk
into a room, and I have no

1203
01:01:01,275 --> 01:01:03,758
idea why I walked in, or I
forget someone's name.

1204
01:01:03,862 --> 01:01:07,000
Are any of these exercises I'm
going to be doing going to

1205
01:01:07,103 --> 01:01:08,758
improve that?

1206
01:01:08,862 --> 01:01:10,344
-Yes, they will.

1207
01:01:10,448 --> 01:01:13,068
The programs that we have here
at vibrantBrains help increase

1208
01:01:13,172 --> 01:01:16,068
a person's chances of
staying cognitively

1209
01:01:16,172 --> 01:01:19,827
fit longer in life.

1210
01:01:19,931 --> 01:01:22,862
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: OK, so
I didn't do too well with

1211
01:01:22,965 --> 01:01:24,620
those exercises.

1212
01:01:24,724 --> 01:01:26,862
I always hated going
to the gym, anyway.

1213
01:01:26,965 --> 01:01:30,379
-OK, I have a prescription
for everyone.

1214
01:01:30,482 --> 01:01:35,586
Just to laugh for 10 minutes
every day for no reason.

1215
01:01:35,689 --> 01:01:37,344
Put your hands like this.

1216
01:01:37,448 --> 01:01:38,931
I'm going to warm up exercise.

1217
01:01:39,034 --> 01:01:40,896
Go huh, huh, huh.

1218
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:41,517
Ha ha.

1219
01:01:41,620 --> 01:01:41,965
Huh huh.

1220
01:01:42,068 --> 01:01:42,862
Ha ha.

1221
01:01:42,965 --> 01:01:43,482
[faster]

1222
01:01:43,586 --> 01:01:43,931
Huh huh!

1223
01:01:44,034 --> 01:01:44,551
Ha ha!

1224
01:01:44,655 --> 01:01:45,000
Huh huh!

1225
01:01:45,103 --> 01:01:45,620
Ha ha!

1226
01:01:45,724 --> 01:01:46,241
Huh huh!

1227
01:01:46,344 --> 01:01:46,689
Ha ha!

1228
01:01:46,793 --> 01:01:47,310
Huh huh!

1229
01:01:47,413 --> 01:01:47,758
Ha ha!

1230
01:01:47,862 --> 01:01:48,379
Huh huh!

1231
01:01:48,482 --> 01:01:49,655
Ha ha!

1232
01:01:49,758 --> 01:01:51,103
MADAN KATARIA [OFFSCREEN]:
My name is Madan Kataria.

1233
01:01:51,206 --> 01:01:53,793
I'm a medical doctor
from Mumbai, India.

1234
01:01:53,896 --> 01:01:57,931
Laughter yoga, laughter club, is
a new concept where anyone

1235
01:01:58,034 --> 01:02:00,413
can laugh for no reason.

1236
01:02:00,517 --> 01:02:06,172
The yoga part of laughter yoga
comes from combining yoga

1237
01:02:06,275 --> 01:02:08,310
breathing with laughter
exercises.

1238
01:02:08,413 --> 01:02:11,620
-This is the starting your
engine laughter.

1239
01:02:11,724 --> 01:02:13,724
You take an imaginary key,
and you crank your

1240
01:02:13,827 --> 01:02:15,724
engine in four laughs.

1241
01:02:15,827 --> 01:02:19,344
[laughing]

1242
01:02:19,448 --> 01:02:22,241
MADAN KATARIA [OFFSCREEN]: I
frequently tell them that the

1243
01:02:22,344 --> 01:02:27,034
reason we are sad, depressed,
the reason we have stress and

1244
01:02:27,137 --> 01:02:30,758
all the illnesses because there
is a lack of oxygen in

1245
01:02:30,862 --> 01:02:32,275
the body cells.

1246
01:02:32,379 --> 01:02:34,689
With the 15 to 20 minutes of
laughter yoga and breathing

1247
01:02:34,793 --> 01:02:38,827
exercises, it energizes, it
brings more oxygen to your

1248
01:02:38,931 --> 01:02:40,758
body and brain.

1249
01:02:40,862 --> 01:02:41,793
[laughing]

1250
01:02:41,896 --> 01:02:43,793
Then take a long, deep breath.

1251
01:02:46,758 --> 01:02:47,344
Hold it.

1252
01:02:47,448 --> 01:02:48,000
Hold it.

1253
01:02:48,103 --> 01:02:49,482
Hold it!

1254
01:02:49,586 --> 01:02:51,448
[laughing]

1255
01:02:51,551 --> 01:02:54,517
My dear laughter friends, today
is the world laughter

1256
01:02:54,620 --> 01:02:56,241
day, a very special day.

1257
01:02:56,344 --> 01:02:59,068
Some people claim that laughter
has tremendously

1258
01:02:59,172 --> 01:03:03,000
helped them recover from cancer,
from pretty harsh and

1259
01:03:03,103 --> 01:03:05,931
serious physical illnesses.

1260
01:03:06,034 --> 01:03:08,482
Good health is not
about vitamins or

1261
01:03:08,586 --> 01:03:10,275
taking good food only.

1262
01:03:10,379 --> 01:03:12,620
It's about breathing, your
breath and oxygen.

1263
01:03:17,793 --> 01:03:22,655
We use laughter as a primary
excuse to breath, as a

1264
01:03:22,758 --> 01:03:25,862
secondary excuse to [inaudible]
happy feeling,

1265
01:03:25,965 --> 01:03:27,620
happy chemistry, to
change attitude.

1266
01:03:27,724 --> 01:03:31,827
If you laugh, you are happy,
you live longer.

1267
01:03:31,931 --> 01:03:33,827
Laughter will not change
your life.

1268
01:03:33,931 --> 01:03:36,793
It will change you.

1269
01:03:36,896 --> 01:03:48,517
[laughter]

1270
01:03:48,620 --> 01:03:50,931
PHYLLIS DILLER [OFFSCREEN]: It's
in the Bible, the old,

1271
01:03:51,034 --> 01:03:55,413
old book. "A merry heart doeth
good like a medicine." They've

1272
01:03:55,517 --> 01:03:57,724
known this for thousands
of years.

1273
01:03:57,827 --> 01:04:00,000
Now before we get off the
subject of old, I have some

1274
01:04:00,103 --> 01:04:01,517
tricks for you.

1275
01:04:01,620 --> 01:04:03,206
If you visit an old folk's home,
don't ever set a drink

1276
01:04:03,310 --> 01:04:05,379
down, because every time I did,
somebody dropped their

1277
01:04:05,482 --> 01:04:06,827
teeth in it.

1278
01:04:06,931 --> 01:04:09,413
I would urge people
to laugh more.

1279
01:04:09,517 --> 01:04:12,655
Children laugh as much
as 400 times a day.

1280
01:04:12,758 --> 01:04:14,724
Adults, 20 at the most.

1281
01:04:14,827 --> 01:04:17,068
You know you're old when your
walker has been airbag.

1282
01:04:19,517 --> 01:04:23,620
And they discontinued
your blood type.

1283
01:04:23,724 --> 01:04:26,551
Somebody compliments you on
your alligator shoes, and

1284
01:04:26,655 --> 01:04:28,068
you're barefoot.

1285
01:04:28,172 --> 01:04:31,827
Laughter fluffs up every
cell in your body.

1286
01:04:31,931 --> 01:04:36,103
All the time you're laughing,
every cell is laughing.

1287
01:04:36,206 --> 01:04:40,620
Because what you do in your mind
your whole body is doing.

1288
01:04:40,724 --> 01:04:42,379
Always.

1289
01:04:42,482 --> 01:04:45,724
And then you have long life,
and a good life, and people

1290
01:04:45,827 --> 01:04:46,931
want to be with you.

1291
01:04:47,034 --> 01:04:49,413
And that keeps the whole
fire burning.

1292
01:04:53,448 --> 01:04:54,965
ROBER YOUNG [OFFSCREEN]: Jeanne
Calment, who lived to

1293
01:04:55,068 --> 01:04:59,586
be 122 years of age, is by far
the oldest verified person in

1294
01:04:59,689 --> 01:05:02,379
scientific history.

1295
01:05:02,482 --> 01:05:05,413
We have more documents to prove
her age than for any

1296
01:05:05,517 --> 01:05:07,896
other case.

1297
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,379
She had three of the
longevity keys.

1298
01:05:10,482 --> 01:05:13,827
She loved olive oil, she loved
wine, and she loved chocolate.

1299
01:05:16,517 --> 01:05:21,172
We know that she smoked about
one or two cigarettes a day.

1300
01:05:21,275 --> 01:05:22,275
She tended to stay active.

1301
01:05:22,379 --> 01:05:24,827
At age 85, she took
up fencing.

1302
01:05:24,931 --> 01:05:29,034
At age 100, she was riding
her bicycle.

1303
01:05:29,137 --> 01:05:31,551
Jeanne Clement lived on her
own, by herself, without

1304
01:05:31,655 --> 01:05:36,379
assistance until two weeks
before her 110th birthday when

1305
01:05:36,482 --> 01:05:39,034
her cooking started a fire, and
they decided it was time

1306
01:05:39,137 --> 01:05:41,793
to move her into
a nursing home.

1307
01:05:41,896 --> 01:05:44,620
And if Jeanne Clement had great
genes, then she had a

1308
01:05:44,724 --> 01:05:48,482
great constitution, and she had
a great mental fortitude.

1309
01:05:48,586 --> 01:05:53,793
At her 115th birthday party,
basically they asked her what

1310
01:05:53,896 --> 01:05:56,620
does she do all day?

1311
01:05:56,724 --> 01:05:59,655
She said, "I think, I dream,
I go over my life.

1312
01:05:59,758 --> 01:06:05,000
I never get bored." Just this
very positive attitude, that

1313
01:06:05,103 --> 01:06:08,793
joie de vivre, seems to
be the way to go.

1314
01:06:08,896 --> 01:06:11,000
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: Jeanne
Calment certainly had a

1315
01:06:11,103 --> 01:06:12,793
great set of genes.

1316
01:06:12,896 --> 01:06:15,379
I wonder if I'm as
lucky as she was.

1317
01:06:15,482 --> 01:06:18,206
My mother lived to 85,
and my dad is still

1318
01:06:18,310 --> 01:06:20,413
going strong at 87.

1319
01:06:20,517 --> 01:06:23,000
100 years shouldn't be
out of question for

1320
01:06:23,103 --> 01:06:25,034
their son, should it?

1321
01:06:25,137 --> 01:06:27,068
It just doesn't seem fair.

1322
01:06:27,172 --> 01:06:28,586
I exercise.

1323
01:06:28,689 --> 01:06:29,862
I don't eat red meat.

1324
01:06:29,965 --> 01:06:31,862
I take dozens of daily
supplements.

1325
01:06:31,965 --> 01:06:35,758
I drink oceans of green tea, and
I can still develop colon

1326
01:06:35,862 --> 01:06:37,448
cancer tomorrow.

1327
01:06:37,551 --> 01:06:40,172
But some Frenchwoman lives
on wine and chocolate and

1328
01:06:40,275 --> 01:06:44,413
[inaudible], and makes
it to 122.

1329
01:06:44,517 --> 01:06:46,103
Why should I work so
hard if there's no

1330
01:06:46,206 --> 01:06:48,517
guarantee for a long life?

1331
01:06:48,620 --> 01:06:50,241
Or maybe there is.

1332
01:06:50,344 --> 01:06:51,827
BRIAN M. DELANEY [OFFSCREEN]:
Initially I knew nothing about

1333
01:06:51,931 --> 01:06:53,758
calorie restriction and didn't
really care about longevity.

1334
01:06:53,862 --> 01:06:55,172
I just went to the
medical library

1335
01:06:55,275 --> 01:06:56,620
to learn about nutrition.

1336
01:06:56,724 --> 01:07:00,275
And then I happened upon Roy
Walford's research with

1337
01:07:00,379 --> 01:07:04,034
rodents showing that when you
give them less, in some cases

1338
01:07:04,137 --> 01:07:05,862
a lot less, than what
they normally eat--

1339
01:07:05,965 --> 01:07:08,275
30%, 40%, 45% less--

1340
01:07:08,379 --> 01:07:11,586
they live much, much longer,
sometimes as much as 50% or

1341
01:07:11,689 --> 01:07:12,793
60% longer.

1342
01:07:15,344 --> 01:07:18,275
So I thought, well, it works
in rodents, and then I

1343
01:07:18,379 --> 01:07:21,310
discovered later it works in
fish, it works in insects, it

1344
01:07:21,413 --> 01:07:22,965
works in basically
every species in

1345
01:07:23,068 --> 01:07:25,827
which it's been tried.

1346
01:07:25,931 --> 01:07:27,206
Maybe it works in
humans as well.

1347
01:07:27,310 --> 01:07:31,068
The average American man
probably eats about 3,000

1348
01:07:31,172 --> 01:07:32,517
calories a day.

1349
01:07:32,620 --> 01:07:35,758
People on the calorie
restriction diet, I think I

1350
01:07:35,862 --> 01:07:40,344
know someone who's eating about
1,500 calories a day.

1351
01:07:40,448 --> 01:07:43,793
If you were on a strict and
somewhat severe version of

1352
01:07:43,896 --> 01:07:47,758
this diet for, let's say, four
years, you'd probably gain an

1353
01:07:47,862 --> 01:07:49,310
extra year of life.

1354
01:07:49,413 --> 01:07:52,034
And given that I started the
diet when I was 29, I can say

1355
01:07:52,137 --> 01:08:01,206
in my case I could expect
to live to be maybe 140.

1356
01:08:01,310 --> 01:08:03,620
Food can be a comfort to a lot
of people, especially people

1357
01:08:03,724 --> 01:08:06,000
who are alone, people who don't
have a lot of other

1358
01:08:06,103 --> 01:08:08,000
sources of joy in their life.

1359
01:08:08,103 --> 01:08:09,827
And for someone like
that, a diet like

1360
01:08:09,931 --> 01:08:11,275
this might be difficult.

1361
01:08:11,379 --> 01:08:14,448
They would have to get joy from
food in a different way.

1362
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,172
JONATHAN GOLD [OFFSCREEN]: It is
a grand thing to be a food

1363
01:08:22,275 --> 01:08:23,482
critic in the age of Lipitor.

1364
01:08:23,586 --> 01:08:25,793
I will be the first person
to say that.

1365
01:08:25,896 --> 01:08:30,724
That being said, I have to be
cognizant of what the food is

1366
01:08:30,827 --> 01:08:33,724
doing to my body, and I'm sort
of the experimental stomach

1367
01:08:33,827 --> 01:08:36,310
for the city of Los Angeles
and a lot of places.

1368
01:08:36,413 --> 01:08:39,241
My doctor talks about it a
lot, but I could probably

1369
01:08:39,344 --> 01:08:41,103
stand to lower my croissant
intake.

1370
01:08:46,034 --> 01:08:48,448
I've always been pretty
interested in food.

1371
01:08:48,551 --> 01:08:52,310
In sixth grade, I had a bulletin
board that had all my

1372
01:08:52,413 --> 01:08:54,551
poems, and my poems were
all about food.

1373
01:08:54,655 --> 01:09:00,827
You know, banana fritters, and
green tea, ice cream, and

1374
01:09:00,931 --> 01:09:02,379
potato chips.

1375
01:09:02,482 --> 01:09:07,000
And you know, I suppose that
potato chips were for me what

1376
01:09:07,103 --> 01:09:10,448
daffodils were for Wordsworth.

1377
01:09:10,551 --> 01:09:12,931
Eating is one of the great
pleasures of life.

1378
01:09:13,034 --> 01:09:16,034
Sitting at a table with your
friends and with your family,

1379
01:09:16,137 --> 01:09:18,344
having food that you spent
hours preparing.

1380
01:09:18,448 --> 01:09:21,689
It's a way of expressing
yourself.

1381
01:09:21,793 --> 01:09:25,482
And I think people with severe
dietary restrictions--

1382
01:09:25,586 --> 01:09:28,310
and believe me, in Los Angeles,
they are legion--

1383
01:09:28,413 --> 01:09:32,931
are indeed missing out on a lot
that life has to offer.

1384
01:09:33,034 --> 01:09:34,931
This kitchen does a
really good job.

1385
01:09:35,034 --> 01:09:37,068
They have a nice,
lose texture.

1386
01:09:37,172 --> 01:09:38,448
They're-- they're luscious.

1387
01:09:38,551 --> 01:09:39,827
They have a soft--

1388
01:09:39,931 --> 01:09:42,482
JONATHAN GOLD [OFFSCREEN]: I
find it very difficult to talk

1389
01:09:42,586 --> 01:09:45,206
about food with people who talk
about what they aren't

1390
01:09:45,310 --> 01:09:47,413
eating as opposed to what
they are eating.

1391
01:09:47,517 --> 01:09:51,172
And this is the, um,
insalata caprese.

1392
01:09:51,275 --> 01:09:52,758
JONATHAN GOLD [OFFSCREEN]:
Sometimes it seems like

1393
01:09:52,862 --> 01:09:54,758
everybody in Los Angeles, or
everybody in certain zip codes

1394
01:09:54,862 --> 01:09:57,586
in Los Angeles, is on some kind
of a diet or another.

1395
01:09:57,689 --> 01:10:00,448
You know, there's Scarsdale,
there's the Zone diet, there's

1396
01:10:00,551 --> 01:10:03,413
the 20/40/40 or whatever
that one is.

1397
01:10:03,517 --> 01:10:07,344
People are eating only protein,
or only fat, or only

1398
01:10:07,448 --> 01:10:08,620
carbohydrates.

1399
01:10:08,724 --> 01:10:11,586
And I the idea of going to place
like Spago and asking

1400
01:10:11,689 --> 01:10:15,517
for your halibut grilled,
no oil, sauce

1401
01:10:15,620 --> 01:10:17,827
on the side if perverse.

1402
01:10:17,931 --> 01:10:19,724
[music playing]

1403
01:10:22,862 --> 01:10:27,000
It's like deciding not to have
sex because that somehow is

1404
01:10:27,103 --> 01:10:29,482
going to dissipate your
vital fluids.

1405
01:10:29,586 --> 01:10:36,000
To the extent that libido, per
se, is closely linked to

1406
01:10:36,103 --> 01:10:37,931
testosterone levels-- in
men at least, and it

1407
01:10:38,034 --> 01:10:39,517
might be also in women--

1408
01:10:39,620 --> 01:10:46,379
it's likely that libido would
decrease in men on this diet.

1409
01:10:46,482 --> 01:10:48,827
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: Well,
as far as the calorie

1410
01:10:48,931 --> 01:10:52,206
restriction diet, that's a
real deal breaker for me.

1411
01:10:52,310 --> 01:10:55,689
-The best contraceptive for
old people is nudity.

1412
01:10:55,793 --> 01:10:58,206
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: I'm in
no hurry to compromise my

1413
01:10:58,310 --> 01:11:02,931
sex drive in my senior years.

1414
01:11:03,034 --> 01:11:04,517

SHIGEO TOKUDA [OFFSCREEN]:
[speaking japanese]

1416
01:11:08,241 --> 01:11:10,758
When you retire, you
have no work.

1417
01:11:13,586 --> 01:11:19,068
Many retirees experience
a feeling of emptiness.

1418
01:11:19,172 --> 01:11:21,896
They have a hard time finding
something to do

1419
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:23,275
with their free time.

1420
01:11:28,655 --> 01:11:31,965
Everybody's different, but
spiritual uplift is

1421
01:11:32,068 --> 01:11:34,517
necessary for all.

1422
01:11:34,620 --> 01:11:38,758
Some find it an art
or in sports.

1423
01:11:38,862 --> 01:11:42,172
Others find it in
volunteer work.

1424
01:11:42,275 --> 01:11:46,275
In any event, to find a purpose
in life is important.

1425
01:11:49,275 --> 01:11:53,551
I've done over 200
adult films.

1426
01:11:53,655 --> 01:11:58,068
Elder porn has increased in
popularity, and I am partly

1427
01:11:58,172 --> 01:11:59,482
responsible.

1428
01:12:01,551 --> 01:12:06,103
When I was young, I had little
experience with women.

1429
01:12:06,206 --> 01:12:10,103
I was very serious,
and very proper.

1430
01:12:13,241 --> 01:12:16,724
Nowadays, I tell my wife that
I'm a late bloomer.

1431
01:12:21,344 --> 01:12:23,689
I'm making up for lost time.

1432
01:12:23,793 --> 01:12:33,586
[laughing]

1433
01:12:33,689 --> 01:12:37,448
I personally think the right
amount of sex is uplifting for

1434
01:12:37,551 --> 01:12:39,137
the spirit.

1435
01:12:39,241 --> 01:12:41,586
t even helps one
stay youthful.

1436
01:12:45,517 --> 01:12:49,517
Sex, after all, is a method
of rejuvenation.

1437
01:12:53,275 --> 01:12:55,655
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: But not
every Japanese senior is

1438
01:12:55,758 --> 01:12:57,862
as lively as Shigeo.

1439

AKIMITSU YOKOYAMA [OFFSCREEN]:
[speaking japanese]

1441
01:13:07,448 --> 01:13:11,931
The Japanese have a fondness
for robots.

1442
01:13:12,034 --> 01:13:16,310
You can see it in their
anime and manga.

1443
01:13:16,413 --> 01:13:20,241
So the domestic robot is
very advanced in Japan.

1444
01:13:24,551 --> 01:13:29,000
They find it easy to believe
that souls exist within

1445
01:13:29,103 --> 01:13:33,000
various inanimate objects.

1446
01:13:33,103 --> 01:13:34,620
ROBOT SINGING]

1447
01:13:52,344 --> 01:13:55,344
AKIMITSU YOKOYAMA [OFFSCREEN]:
We introduced robot therapy to

1448
01:13:55,448 --> 01:13:58,172
replace animal therapy
for seniors.

1449
01:14:01,551 --> 01:14:06,793
-I came up with the idea
for a personal robot.

1450
01:14:06,896 --> 01:14:09,103
It doesn't do any work.

1451
01:14:09,206 --> 01:14:11,275
It's more like a pet.

1452
01:14:19,931 --> 01:14:23,068
Paro is about the same
size as a baby.

1453
01:14:26,344 --> 01:14:29,000
We tried to design it to
trigger the memory

1454
01:14:29,103 --> 01:14:30,379
of holding a baby.

1455
01:14:32,758 --> 01:14:37,724
It's not just its size that
accomplishes this, but we try

1456
01:14:37,827 --> 01:14:40,241
to emphasize body contact.

1457
01:14:40,344 --> 01:14:45,137
We encourage stroking, cuddling,
and embracing Paro.

1458
01:14:58,758 --> 01:15:05,482
Paro provides useful therapy
for both men and women.

1459
01:15:05,586 --> 01:15:10,137
There was a 94-year-old man who
purchased Paro and named

1460
01:15:10,241 --> 01:15:14,689
it after his wife who had passed
away 10 years earlier.

1461
01:15:17,551 --> 01:15:23,206
Since his wife's death, he had
spent many days all by himself

1462
01:15:23,310 --> 01:15:25,103
without speaking to anyone.

1463
01:15:30,896 --> 01:15:35,275
Through his interaction with
this personal robot, Paro now

1464
01:15:35,379 --> 01:15:42,034
exists as his new partner,
and he is very happy.

1465
01:15:49,896 --> 01:15:58,724
[speaking japanese]

1466
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,275
-I'm married.

1467
01:16:08,310 --> 01:16:09,793
DR. CRAIG WILCOX [OFFSCREEN]:
In Okinawa there's a folk

1468
01:16:09,896 --> 01:16:13,551
belief that older people have
this kind of spiritual power

1469
01:16:13,655 --> 01:16:16,448
that helps achieve their health
and longevity, and they

1470
01:16:16,551 --> 01:16:18,034
can pass this on to
other people.

1471
01:16:18,137 --> 01:16:19,103
It's called [speaking japanese].

1472
01:16:19,206 --> 01:16:20,724
It's a ritual in Okinawa.

1473
01:16:20,827 --> 01:16:23,931
The older person will touch you,
or if you touch the older

1474
01:16:24,034 --> 01:16:27,620
person, they can pass
this on to you.

1475
01:16:27,724 --> 01:16:29,000
It's very interesting.

1476
01:16:29,103 --> 01:16:32,310
It shows this kind of folk
belief in Okinawa in the

1477
01:16:32,413 --> 01:16:35,517
spiritual power of
older people.

1478
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:41,896
-Tomorrow you will
be partnered up

1479
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,448
with a senior citizen.

1480
01:16:44,551 --> 01:16:50,413
Please be respectful, which you
are, and use your manners.

1481
01:16:50,517 --> 01:16:52,034
When I first found out,
I was kind of,

1482
01:16:52,137 --> 01:16:53,206
like, oh, my goodness.

1483
01:16:53,310 --> 01:16:55,379
We're going to the
nursing home.

1484
01:16:55,482 --> 01:16:58,241
Because I just pictured, you
know, kind of like awkward

1485
01:16:58,344 --> 01:17:02,103
situations, and it kind of being
smelly. just kind of

1486
01:17:02,206 --> 01:17:05,241
took the stereotypes of what
a nursing home was.

1487
01:17:05,344 --> 01:17:07,344
-Right here in the lavender.

1488
01:17:07,448 --> 01:17:11,172
-I've heard that, you know,
like, the older people, you

1489
01:17:11,275 --> 01:17:13,931
feel you've lived so long,
you want to tell

1490
01:17:14,034 --> 01:17:16,172
your story to somebody.

1491
01:17:16,275 --> 01:17:17,827
Otherwise it just seem
pointless that

1492
01:17:17,931 --> 01:17:19,551
you've lived that long.

1493
01:17:19,655 --> 01:17:24,103
-My job every morning was to
take my little syrup buckets,

1494
01:17:24,206 --> 01:17:26,620
take it to the back door of the
creamery, and they would

1495
01:17:26,724 --> 01:17:29,206
fill it for me for $0.05.

1496
01:17:29,310 --> 01:17:30,965
-I used to play the ukulele.

1497
01:17:31,068 --> 01:17:32,137
-Really?

1498
01:17:32,241 --> 01:17:33,448
-I think about getting
old quite often.

1499
01:17:33,551 --> 01:17:35,620
I try imagining, and I
don't have a picture

1500
01:17:35,724 --> 01:17:36,689
in my head at all.

1501
01:17:36,793 --> 01:17:38,275
It's kind of more frightful.

1502
01:17:38,379 --> 01:17:40,689
I'm kind of scared of it.

1503
01:17:40,793 --> 01:17:43,689
It's a really great experience
to talk to somebody who's been

1504
01:17:43,793 --> 01:17:48,827
there, done that, but isn't
trying to, like I say,

1505
01:17:48,931 --> 01:17:51,827
influence you in a certain way,
just to tell you their

1506
01:17:51,931 --> 01:17:53,103
life story.

1507
01:17:53,206 --> 01:17:55,034
And then you take from
that what you will.

1508
01:18:03,931 --> 01:18:05,413
-Oh, good morning.

1509
01:18:05,517 --> 01:18:07,206
-Hi, how are you?

1510
01:18:07,310 --> 01:18:09,000
-I have no secrets
to a long life.

1511
01:18:09,103 --> 01:18:11,931
God gave me one day at a time.

1512
01:18:12,034 --> 01:18:15,413
I don't have any dentures, and I
don't have any hearing aids.

1513
01:18:15,517 --> 01:18:19,413
My hearing is not perfect, but
if you speak distinctly, which

1514
01:18:19,517 --> 01:18:23,620
everybody should, I can
hear very well.

1515
01:18:23,724 --> 01:18:26,000
MARGE JETTON [OFFSCREEN]: I
didn't feel that I was old

1516
01:18:26,103 --> 01:18:27,551
until I was 95.

1517
01:18:27,655 --> 01:18:31,758
I went to Disneyland on my 90th
birthday, and I drove the

1518
01:18:31,862 --> 01:18:38,103
car until I was 101.

1519
01:18:38,206 --> 01:18:40,000
At my age, it isn't
how you look.

1520
01:18:40,103 --> 01:18:41,862
It's how you feel that's
important.

1521
01:18:41,965 --> 01:18:47,793
I ride the bicycle 15 minutes
for seven to eight miles a

1522
01:18:47,896 --> 01:18:51,379
day, five days a
week at least.

1523
01:18:51,482 --> 01:18:56,206
And then I life 5-pounds
weights, two of them, for

1524
01:18:56,310 --> 01:18:57,068
about five minutes.

1525
01:18:57,172 --> 01:18:58,551
Not any big deal.

1526
01:19:03,862 --> 01:19:06,379
It would be nice if we could
pick out how we're going to

1527
01:19:06,482 --> 01:19:13,758
die, just go to sleep, but each
one of us has to take it

1528
01:19:13,862 --> 01:19:15,068
as it comes.

1529
01:19:15,172 --> 01:19:18,724
So you often wonder what's
going to get you.

1530
01:19:18,827 --> 01:19:20,655
[music playing]

1531
01:19:23,448 --> 01:19:27,206
-We live a long time
here at Loma Linda.

1532
01:19:27,310 --> 01:19:31,000
I'm 84, and she's over 100.

1533
01:19:31,103 --> 01:19:34,344
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: Why
do you live so long?

1534
01:19:34,448 --> 01:19:36,965
-Because we don't eat meat.

1535
01:19:37,068 --> 01:19:38,517
I think that's one big reason.

1536
01:19:38,620 --> 01:19:40,517
And then we're happy.

1537
01:19:40,620 --> 01:19:42,275
-Yes, you seem happy.

1538
01:19:42,379 --> 01:19:47,862
-Yes, we're very happy, because
we love the Lord.

1539
01:19:47,965 --> 01:19:50,620
Yeah.

1540
01:19:50,724 --> 01:19:53,206
RANDALL ROBERTS [OFFSCREEN]:
Loma Linda is one of those hot

1541
01:19:53,310 --> 01:19:55,379
spots in the world where
people live longer.

1542
01:19:55,482 --> 01:19:58,413
Some of us have jokingly said,
well, it's not longer, just

1543
01:19:58,517 --> 01:19:59,275
seems longer.

1544
01:19:59,379 --> 01:20:00,241
[laughing]

1545
01:20:00,344 --> 01:20:02,275
It's within the advent
of theology.

1546
01:20:02,379 --> 01:20:08,000
We understand the body to be a
temple in the sense that God

1547
01:20:08,103 --> 01:20:11,586
values our physical being,
therefore we

1548
01:20:11,689 --> 01:20:12,758
want to care for it.

1549
01:20:12,862 --> 01:20:14,241
It's one of the ways
of honoring Him.

1550
01:20:14,344 --> 01:20:17,793
That is the driving issue--

1551
01:20:17,896 --> 01:20:20,517
-What we have with Seventh Day
Adventism is we've got a sort

1552
01:20:20,620 --> 01:20:25,034
of healthy way of processing
stress.

1553
01:20:29,724 --> 01:20:31,862
They keep the Sabbath.

1554
01:20:31,965 --> 01:20:37,241
They rest from sundown to
sundown, Friday to Saturday.

1555
01:20:37,344 --> 01:20:39,172
But that's one of the things
we're studying.

1556
01:20:39,275 --> 01:20:42,448
How many people do that,
and does it help them?

1557
01:20:42,551 --> 01:20:46,344
-It's a time when you pull back
and just realize I can

1558
01:20:46,448 --> 01:20:49,586
have a period of time where
I'm not so relentlessly

1559
01:20:49,689 --> 01:20:53,379
pursuing the duties that I have
every other day of my

1560
01:20:53,482 --> 01:20:54,586
life.

1561
01:20:54,689 --> 01:20:56,620
-Can you say, "My husband passed
out on the plane?"

1562
01:20:56,724 --> 01:20:58,068
-That sounds like a nice idea.

1563
01:20:58,172 --> 01:21:01,103
I wouldn't mind having a 24-hour
period off, you know?

1564
01:21:01,206 --> 01:21:02,586
It's like, yeah.

1565
01:21:02,689 --> 01:21:06,931
You know, unplug, contemplate,
connect with the sacred.

1566
01:21:07,034 --> 01:21:08,793
-Turn here and keep going.

1567
01:21:08,896 --> 01:21:10,241
Don't stop.

1568
01:21:10,344 --> 01:21:11,000
PICO IYER [OFFSCREEN]: You know,
Mark, I think you've got

1569
01:21:11,103 --> 01:21:12,448
to take a break.

1570
01:21:12,551 --> 01:21:13,793
You're just spending too much
time on this movie.

1571
01:21:13,896 --> 01:21:15,000
You've got to get
away from it.

1572
01:21:15,103 --> 01:21:17,000
-I'm totally, totally
drained by it.

1573
01:21:17,103 --> 01:21:18,448
I don't know what to do.

1574
01:21:18,551 --> 01:21:20,068
-I can believe it because you're
spending all your time

1575
01:21:20,172 --> 01:21:22,172
thinking about death instead
of enjoying your life.

1576
01:21:22,275 --> 01:21:23,448
I've known you 16 years.

1577
01:21:23,551 --> 01:21:26,827
I've never seen you
so stressed.

1578
01:21:26,931 --> 01:21:28,551
This movie is taking
up your life.

1579
01:21:28,655 --> 01:21:31,137
It's a movie about extending
your life.

1580
01:21:31,241 --> 01:21:32,413
It's clouding and complicating
your life.

1581
01:21:32,517 --> 01:21:35,103
You just need to get away,
take a vacation.

1582
01:21:35,206 --> 01:21:36,620
Go somewhere completely
different.

1583
01:21:40,689 --> 01:21:43,034
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: Pico
suggested Iceland because of

1584
01:21:43,137 --> 01:21:47,068
its natural beauty and its
rejuvenating waters.

1585
01:21:50,206 --> 01:21:51,206
He was right.

1586
01:21:51,310 --> 01:21:53,758
It was a great place
to unplug.

1587
01:21:57,103 --> 01:22:00,620
For a while, that is.

1588
01:22:00,724 --> 01:22:03,000
NEWSREADER [OFFSCREEN]: NBC News
In Depth tonight, a small

1589
01:22:03,103 --> 01:22:05,172
country that's giving the
whole world valuable

1590
01:22:05,275 --> 01:22:06,724
information about our health.

1591
01:22:06,827 --> 01:22:09,551
In recent months, a biotech
company in Iceland--

1592
01:22:09,655 --> 01:22:10,862
yes, Iceland--

1593
01:22:10,965 --> 01:22:13,137
has been making important
discoveries about genes for

1594
01:22:13,241 --> 01:22:17,206
common conditions such as heart
disease, stroke, cancer,

1595
01:22:17,310 --> 01:22:18,758
even mental illness.

1596
01:22:18,862 --> 01:22:20,620
MARK WEXLER [NARRATING]: It
turns out Iceland is another

1597
01:22:20,724 --> 01:22:23,241
longevity hot spot.

1598
01:22:23,344 --> 01:22:26,448
It boasts the longest lifespan
for males on the planet.

1599
01:22:28,965 --> 01:22:32,586
But the prospect of talking to
yet another gerontologist

1600
01:22:32,689 --> 01:22:36,344
about the benefits of cod liver
oil or another amazing

1601
01:22:36,448 --> 01:22:39,931
100-year-old about his daily
exercise routine

1602
01:22:40,034 --> 01:22:42,758
just left me cold.

1603
01:22:42,862 --> 01:22:44,827
THOMAS LYNCH [OFFSCREEN]: I've
buried people who just came

1604
01:22:44,931 --> 01:22:47,413
out of the doctor's office, and
people coming out of the

1605
01:22:47,517 --> 01:22:50,827
health food store, you know,
getting their soy bean

1606
01:22:50,931 --> 01:22:52,310
solutions, et cetera,
et cetera.

1607
01:22:52,413 --> 01:22:55,137
But I've never, ever, ever
buried anybody that dropped

1608
01:22:55,241 --> 01:22:58,482
dead coming out of a Coney
Island hot dog stand.

1609
01:22:58,586 --> 01:23:03,068
And I thought it might be the
safest place in the world.

1610
01:23:03,172 --> 01:23:06,103
Take a walk, have a hot dog,
you feel better, you know?

1611
01:23:09,275 --> 01:23:13,931
Can we get an Oki Dog, a
pastrami burrito, no cabbage.

1612
01:23:14,034 --> 01:23:15,724
This is a signature creation.

1613
01:23:15,827 --> 01:23:17,896
It's a Oki Dog.

1614
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:24,344
It's a tortilla, and inside is
cheese, two hot dogs, prize

1615
01:23:24,448 --> 01:23:28,689
pastrami, and pickles,
mustard, and chili.

1616
01:23:31,448 --> 01:23:33,655
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]:
Oh, my God.

1617
01:23:33,758 --> 01:23:40,413
-If we get too concerned about
the diet or medication or

1618
01:23:40,517 --> 01:23:45,413
eating or any of it to excess,
the very fact that we're so

1619
01:23:45,517 --> 01:23:49,896
obsessive about the body is
going to make you sick anyway.

1620
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,517
-You've got to have a
bite of the Oki Dog.

1621
01:23:52,620 --> 01:23:54,482
PICO IYER [OFFSCREEN]: I see the
hunger for a long life as

1622
01:23:54,586 --> 01:23:58,344
a kind of craving, and any
craving makes us its subject

1623
01:23:58,448 --> 01:24:01,241
and leaves us the poorer,
whether it's a craving for

1624
01:24:01,344 --> 01:24:04,103
food, or craving for sex, or
craving for money, or in this

1625
01:24:04,206 --> 01:24:05,689
case a craving for life.

1626
01:24:05,793 --> 01:24:09,103
-It looks like you've barely
touched you Oki Dog.

1627
01:24:09,206 --> 01:24:13,482
-So I don't see the hunger
for long life as being

1628
01:24:13,586 --> 01:24:17,275
narcissistic so much as
being short sighted.

1629
01:24:17,379 --> 01:24:21,344
It's like a child saying I don't
want to go to sleep.

1630
01:24:21,448 --> 01:24:24,689
I want to stay here in the
room with the adults even

1631
01:24:24,793 --> 01:24:26,137
though it's 10 o'clock.

1632
01:24:26,241 --> 01:24:28,275
And in fact the child is tired,
and is making it's own

1633
01:24:28,379 --> 01:24:31,172
life a misery and making
everyone else's life misery.

1634
01:24:31,275 --> 01:24:35,655
So I think a part of us is that
whining, bawling child

1635
01:24:35,758 --> 01:24:40,000
refusing to accept our
natural limitations.

1636
01:24:40,103 --> 01:24:42,137
[music playing]

1637
01:24:53,137 --> 01:24:55,000

01:24:55,103 --> 01:24:55,896
-What does what?

1639
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:56,862
Oh, that's Sugar.

1640
01:24:56,965 --> 01:24:58,379
She's taking your picture.

1641
01:25:01,344 --> 01:25:02,275
Grandma?

1642
01:25:02,379 --> 01:25:04,758
Do you realize that
you are the oldest

1643
01:25:04,862 --> 01:25:06,551
person in the world?

1644
01:25:06,655 --> 01:25:07,724
-What?

1645
01:25:07,827 --> 01:25:10,310
-You are the oldest person
in the whole world.

1646
01:25:10,413 --> 01:25:11,275
-Me?

1647
01:25:11,379 --> 01:25:12,241
-Yes!

1648
01:25:12,344 --> 01:25:13,206
-No!

1649
01:25:13,310 --> 01:25:14,034
-Yeah.

1650
01:25:14,137 --> 01:25:17,275
Doesn't seem like it, does it?

1651
01:25:17,379 --> 01:25:20,758
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: Edna,
if I could give you a pill

1652
01:25:20,862 --> 01:25:24,586
that would let you live 500 more
years, would you take it?

1653
01:25:34,724 --> 01:25:36,586
[music playing]

1654
01:25:43,413 --> 01:25:47,413
PICO IYER [OFFSCREEN]: If you
think of life as a movie or a

1655
01:25:47,517 --> 01:25:50,344
book, really the most important
thing is the end.

1656
01:25:50,448 --> 01:25:52,448
That's what makes sense of
everything that's come before.

1657
01:25:52,551 --> 01:25:54,068
That's what puts it
into perspective.

1658
01:25:58,103 --> 01:25:59,413
Death makes sense of
everything that

1659
01:25:59,517 --> 01:26:00,620
comes before it.

1660
01:26:03,379 --> 01:26:08,310
So either to eliminate the end
of the story or not to think

1661
01:26:08,413 --> 01:26:11,862
about it is almost to distort,
to deform, the

1662
01:26:11,965 --> 01:26:13,344
whole shape of it.

1663
01:26:13,448 --> 01:26:17,448
[clock ticking]

1664
01:26:17,551 --> 01:26:20,068
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: Can
you ask my mom if there's

1665
01:26:20,172 --> 01:26:22,586
anything to fear about death,
of the process of dying?

1666
01:26:26,896 --> 01:26:30,068
-Just like being born, it's
just another part of the

1667
01:26:30,172 --> 01:26:31,586
living experience.

1668
01:26:31,689 --> 01:26:33,310
And you're dead longer than
you're alive, and there's

1669
01:26:33,413 --> 01:26:35,413
nothing to fear because all your
relatives and friends are

1670
01:26:35,517 --> 01:26:37,551
going to be here to meet you
and greet you, and the

1671
01:26:37,655 --> 01:26:39,310
animals, and everything
that you've loved.

1672
01:26:39,413 --> 01:26:41,965
And what you do here in life
will be expanded on the other

1673
01:26:42,068 --> 01:26:43,448
side as well.

1674
01:26:43,551 --> 01:26:45,103
And there's nothing to fear
on your leaving the body.

1675
01:26:45,206 --> 01:26:48,482
You're ascending to just another
level of intelligence.

1676
01:26:48,586 --> 01:26:50,379
MARK WEXLER [OFFSCREEN]: That's
you're saying that?

1677
01:26:50,482 --> 01:26:52,482
-It wasn't me.

1678
01:26:52,586 --> 01:26:56,793
Your mom is saying would you
really want to live to be 100?

1679
01:26:56,896 --> 01:26:58,724
Would you want to be 100?

1680
01:26:58,827 --> 01:27:01,275
She says after a while, you're
not going to want to be 100.

1681
01:27:01,379 --> 01:27:03,482
She wants you to just
stop worrying.

1682
01:27:09,241 --> 01:27:11,137
LINDA SALVIN [OFFSCREEN]:
She's only a part of you

1683
01:27:11,241 --> 01:27:13,517
because you're a part of her.

1684
01:27:13,620 --> 01:27:17,517
It doesn't go away.

1685
01:27:17,620 --> 01:27:19,310
There will be signs.

1686
01:27:19,413 --> 01:27:22,172
You might hear a song on the
radio that she liked, or

1687
01:27:22,275 --> 01:27:25,793
you'll be looking at her artwork
or a painting that she

1688
01:27:25,896 --> 01:27:27,413
did, and you'll be
reminded of her.

1689
01:27:27,517 --> 01:27:33,034
You may even hear her voice
speaking to you.

-Yeah.

1693

1694
01:28:40,689 --> 01:28:43,448
WOMAN [OFFSCREEN]: Mark, what
are you looking for?

1695
01:28:47,724 --> 01:28:48,965
-I don't know.

1696
01:28:49,068 --> 01:28:51,206
I'm looking for my mom's--

1697
01:28:51,310 --> 01:28:53,241
something of my mom.

1698
01:29:26,586 --> 01:29:28,724
Me as a baby with a dog.

1699
01:29:33,551 --> 01:29:35,413
THOMAS LYNCH [OFFSCREEN]: I'm
sure artists and musicians,

1700
01:29:35,517 --> 01:29:40,241
you know, and painters and
filmmakers and every other

1701
01:29:40,344 --> 01:29:43,344
kind of creative person is
trying to get something on the

1702
01:29:43,448 --> 01:29:46,000
planet that will outlive them.

1703
01:29:46,103 --> 01:29:48,172
Maybe because or maybe
unrelated to

1704
01:29:48,275 --> 01:29:50,137
the fact that they--

1705
01:29:50,241 --> 01:29:52,827
they're not certain
about heaven.

1706
01:29:52,931 --> 01:29:54,793
They're not certain
if they'll really,

1707
01:29:54,896 --> 01:29:56,586
properly haunt somebody.

1708
01:29:56,689 --> 01:29:58,689
So, yeah, maybe.

1709
01:29:58,793 --> 01:29:59,862
Maybe not.

1710
01:29:59,965 --> 01:30:01,206
Wait and see, I always say.

1711
01:30:01,310 --> 01:30:04,482
That's the answer to
almost all prayers.

1712
01:30:04,586 --> 01:30:06,241
Wait and see.

1713
01:30:06,344 --> 01:30:07,448
Yeah.

01:30:20,620 --> 01:30:22,482
