Letter: Some tips and warnings on living to 100 (1)

Published 8 October 2025

From Geoff Sharman, Winchester, Hampshire, UK

I won’t be adopting Bryan Johnson’s methods for achieving longevity, partly because, at the age of 83, I already have a shot at living to 100, but, more importantly, also because life isn’t a rehearsal or a research project. Life is for living. I have had a long career, travelled widely, conducted published research, served as a councillor, raised funds for charities close to my heart, enjoyed gardening, sailing, photography and other hobbies, and, with my wife, raised a family(20 September, p 36).

I found these much better uses for the 6 hours a day he devotes to his health routine, and hope to continue them for a while longer.
