Health -- Live 35% longer?

Straight from realage.com: ask Dr. Oz if there's any way to delay aging and here's what you get: "The truth about aging is that you -- right now -- have the ability to live 35 percent longer than expected, with a greater quality of life and without becoming feeble. While relying on the talents, skills, and knowledge of others may get you out of medical jams, what you really want is to avoid these in the first place. Weight training and getting quality sleep are two of nature's best anti-aging medicines. But just because you've made mistakes in the past -- had burgers for breakfast or fried your brain cells with stress -- doesn't mean you can't reverse them. Your body is remarkable. You can have a do-over if you want to. Within three months of changing an aging behavior, you can measure a difference in your life expectancy."
