What about 500?
Anyone aiming for 500?
Do I have 250?
Do I have 150?
Anyone trying to get to 100 and get the telegram from the king?
OK, so that's great.
So we do have an interest in living beyond what we might call our life expectancy.
But there was an interesting headline in The Guardian very recently, which said that at least 80% of the responsibility for ill health in old age is down to the individual.
So people who are trying to live longer may well be doing the right thing, according to this headline.
And that idea to me seems potentially really exciting and really empowering that we could take charge of our health.
And perhaps that's what we should be doing in this tent today is setting you up to kind of grapple with your longevity.
A little bit of advice.
It would be a great thing to do on the radio.
Who can argue with that?
I can argue with that.
Ah.
So I'm going to quote directly from the report that that headline referenced.
It talked about these pillars of living well.
It talked about what we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, above all stress and smoking.
Zand, we don't choose the air we breathe, the water we drink.
