Life. We have heard some people say they don’t wish to live long. If they meant what they said, then they are the exceptional few who are not interested in longevity, Aside from those excep- tions, # long life ranks second in importance only to life it- ‘self among almost all of us. ~ Last Friday The Citizen published a story, three- quarters of a column long, that gave in detail the things to do to live long. Of course, the information was based on the assumption that one is normally healthy, though even to one whose system is not in good condition, adher- to the rules listed in the article would be beneficial * Dr. Morris Fishbein, who gave the advice about the ry to live long, ranks among the highest in the world’s | profession. His No. 1 key to long life is impertur- ability, along word for calmness or coolness. "3. The man who “flies off the handle” easily, recur- rently increases his blood pressure, drams his energy and depresses his mind, sometimes to so great an extent it gives him a headache. That type of man has a hair-trigger témper, which often becomes heated over something that, in the final analysis, is of little consequence, one way or the other. ; ~ He is primed always for argument, He hears some- thing said that he thinks is not so, and forthwith begins té argue heatedly about it. Not nce does he ask himself this question: What differences does it make to me whet- her or not it is so? The man who goes forth to try to correct the world because its opinion does not conform with his, keeps his pervous system at a high tension. That tension has an ill effect on every organ in his body, particularly his heart. Whe heart is the only thing in a man that works constantly. & must keep going to sustain life. It has been estimated at the heart in a man 70 years old throbbed two billion “= That gives us a good idea of how important it is not to step-up the throbbing or beating by anger or undue exer- cise. We have heard often about “athletic heart,” which is-only another term for the overworked heart. It is be- cause of the overworked heart that many athletes die young. If we were as much concerned in our hearts as we are in the motors in our automobiles, our span of life would be lengthened, assuming we are in normal health. Some drivers abuse their motors and wear them out in a ae ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, June 16, 1952, | HAL BOYLE SAYS By HAL BOYLE . NEW YORK #—Do you want to live to be 100 years old? There are more people trying to Teach this goal every year, and the best way to start is to be born a girl. Just as women can hold on to a dollar better than men, they now hold on longer to life. Lady cen- tenarians outnumber gentlemen centenarians by a wide, wide, mar- gin. You can’t beat the feminine passion for property, even in the matter of piling up years. They won't let go of a good thing. How can men live longer? That is very easy. Take a tip from the girls, fellows. Live like they do. Take it easy. Dr. Morris Fishbein gave the key to longer life the other day: “Imperturbability.” That is a 7- syllable word meaning “calm down —don’t get excited.” Women instinctively and by pref- erence lead quieter lives than men. They conserve their energy better. Men can get excited over any tri- fling thing, and do. Nothing really excites a woman except — well, except, possibly a man. And as soon as she gets him she again usually resumes the even tenor— I mean soprano — of her ways. This was crisply but by a lady centenarian some years ago, who explained her victory over time by saying: “Whenever I had an emergency in my life, I met it by going to bed.”” Most housewives intuitively know this is good advice. What happens They don’t pound their heads against the kitchen wali. They go into the bedroom and lie down and have a nice, relaxing cry — and arise refreshed. There is no reason why a man can’t follow this example in offic or factory. If a crisis comes up my boy, don’t blow your top. Sim- ply lie down on the floor and res while you think it over. The boss may stare at you the first time or two. But after you explain the reason to him — that you are only trying to live longer — he will tell you to move over so he can lie jdown and live longer, too. Wives are proverbially late get ting dressed for an evening out. But it is only because they know that hurry is killing.
