You may not be able to cheat death, but can you delay it?
We know that everyone dies but the timing may be modified by our lifestyle choices. Learn what the research says can prevent premature death. https://bit.ly/4eNBj3C
Premature death is defined as a death that occurs before the average age of death in a particular population. It is a measure of unfulfilled life expectancy; in the United States it is death occurring before age 80. Up to half of all premature (or early) deaths in the United States are due to behavioral and other preventable factors—including modifiable habits such as tobacco use, poor diet, and lack of exercise. Four factors—poor diet, high blood pressure, obesity, and tobacco use—are identified as primary causes of early death.

Magnificent Microbes!
As we continue our series about ways to slow our march toward the end of life, our topic this week is about our microbiome. You have probably heard of this term, but may wonder what it means and how it applies to you.
Our gut microbiome are microbes, and their genetic material is found in our gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria in our gut affect everything from our digestion to our mental health.
What does Our Microbiome do for Us?
Marianne shares the evolution of our microbiome and how it develops diversity. This is important because different bacteria help us digest food, produce vitamins, increase absorption, helps our immunity, and prevent bad bacteria from taking over.
Why is Balance Important?
When something disrupts the balance, such as antibiotics, it can allow "opportunistic growth" of organisms such as Clostridium difficile (C. diff), a germ that causes diarrhea and colitis.
How to Increase your Gut Diversity
We talk about several ways to foster diversity in your microbiome. Listen for several tips!

Learn everything from a bot-related way to die in the future to thoughts around having a digital surrogate to a deceased loved one.
In the book Love Story, love meant never having to say you’re sorry. Now, in the age of griefbots, death mean you never have to say goodbye. Griefbots are the creation of digital characters that imitate the way people who have died spoke and wrote. While these bots and AI avatars may be beneficial to the grieving process, there’s also a risk that they could keep us clinging to the past, spending our time with the deceased rather than the living, and find ourselves unable to move forward and grow.
