When our Grandfather turned 100 my sister and I interviewed him and one of the things we asked him is how he lived to be 100. His answer was 1. You all worry too much, 2. You eat too much white bread and 3. you stop working too young..We asked him what he felt bad about and it was the polution of
the Hudson River. Also, what was his oldest "first person" story told to him.
He said it was when his grandmother (late 1700's) told him the indians were
coming over the mountains and when they got to their farm she messed up her hair, stuck her head out the door and shook her head. The indians did not harm her as they thought she was crazy and would not kill a crazy person. Oldest joke he could remember was: The indians killed all of Murphy's family and he was the only one that escaped. He [Murphy] settled down and had a farm after he killed himself some indians. One day an indian showed up at his farm and asked if he knew where Murphy lived. Murphy asked him why he
wanted to know and the indian said he had killed his family and now he wanted to kill Murphy. Murphy said you know Murphy is known as a pretty good shot and the indian said he knew but he was better than Murphy so
Murphy slit a stick, stuck a penny in it and gave the indian the gun and said
if he could shoot the penny out of the stick he would be as good as Murphy. The indian shot and missed the coin. It was then that Murphy said "do you know who I am". The Indian said no. Murphy said I am Murphy. The indian said do you know who I am? Murphy said no and the indian said I am a dead
indian..!! Joke told in the late 1700's.
Just some little history and fun.

I believe I like Chiefs plan. I also like the anti-oxidants in red wine theory so drink lots of red wine. Exercise aerobic 4 days a week and build strength 2 days a week. Rest one day a week. Eat lots of fruit, vegetables, fish, and limited red meat. But also eat a balanced diet, a little bit of everything including eggs, dairy and grains. Make choices we all know, whole breads better then white breads, less processed food over processed food, limited sugar and plenty of water.

Remove as many medications as possible from your body. That includes even over the counter pain killers and cold medicines. If it looks like a pill and you don't have to have it to live, don't take it. And don't forget the red wine.

We have a similar attitude. I have done aerobic and strength exercise for many years. I take assorted vitamins and eat a sensible diet and will only visit a fast food place maybe 3 or 4 times a year. (I like 5 Guys)
Also, I like to hang with people who like to laugh.

Sounds good. And, with some practice, most people should be able to do it in their sleep. Perhaps with the exception of those who have sleep-apnea.

I read a book on the subject of Resveratrol in red wine. I believe Resveratrol is the main ingredient that everyone is excited about. Resveratrol is a rich source of anti-oxidants. Well, one important thing I learned is that oxygen destroys Resveratrol. If the wine is exposed to oxygen during the making of it, during the bottling process or during consumption and storage, it is most likely of little value, as far as anti-oxidants go.

But wine will still thin your blood. So if one has any build up of plaque in their arteries, it will help to keep blood flowing through narrowed arteries. In this case it's not a cure or prevention; it just may help to keep you alive a little longer.

There is a way to reverse coronary artery disease but it involves a rather strict lifestyle. And my experience has been that most people would rather die than make the (long term) effort. In case you ever decide to give it a try, or just want to learn about it, there are many books on this subject.
One is: "The Cardiovascular Cure" by John Cooke MD, Ph.D.
