		The researchers speculate that pessimists may be more "passive" than other personality types, leaving them more prone to "bad life events" -- such as illness or injury -- that can shorten life span.
		Pessimists may also be more prone to depression, Seligman explains, or they may smoke, drink, avoid doctors and otherwise neglect their health because they feel there is little they can do to stave off disease or disability.
		We have recently hired two new psychotherapists who are being trained to perform this treatment as it is some of the highest level of healing work that we do in our office.

	Life Span - MSN Encarta
		Life Span, length of time that embraces all the events of an organism's life, from conception to death.
		Nearly all multicellular organisms pass through an embryonic phase, starting with the first division of the fertilized egg; a juvenile phase, in which the organism grows to sexual maturity; and an adult phase, in which the organism reaches a peak of sexual productivity and begins a decline of physiological activities that ends in death.
		Unsurprisingly, since it was discovered that reducing calorie intake can extend the life span of several species, much work has been conducted on the reasons behind this.

	Life Span, Aging, LIfe Extension and Life Expectancy
		Life expectancy, the number of years an individual can expect to live, is based on average life spans.
		Average life span and life expectancy in the United States have grown dramatically in this century, from about 47 years in 1900 to about 78 years in 2000.
		There is no evidence that the life span for humans has changed for thousands of years despite fabled fountains of youth and biblical tales of long-lived patriarchs.

	Life span: importance and determination - The Jackson Laboratory (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Life span is determined by the first biological system to fail beyond compensation.
		To shorten life span in a study, all it takes is failure of a single biological system — due to disease, damage, etc. This is more likely than life span being shortened due to acceleration of a basic aging mechanism.
		In a study in which we are measuring maximum life span, to get the most accurate data possible, we must not euthanize animals until we are certain that they would die if we did not interfere.

	Life Span: You're In Control
		Life spans, says James Vaupel, who directs the Laboratory of Survival and Longevity at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany, are nothing like a trait like height, which is strongly inherited.
		The likely reason is that life span is determined by such a complex mix of events that there is no accurate predicting for individuals.
		Random cell growth and division and random differences in which genes get turned on and how active they are during development can cause identical twins to have different numbers of cells in their kidneys and even different patterns of folds in their brains, Finch pointed out.

		Though further research is needed, Staessen says that the process of aging -- and life span -- may be determined by your mother's X chromosome.

	Calorie Restriction Increases Life Span: A Molecular Mechanism - Health - RedOrbit
		This "passive" theory of aging has recently been upstaged by an "active" theory that depends on a genetic determinant of life span.7 When yeast was grown in a medium with a diluted glucose concentration, the number of times mother yeast cells divided to form offspring cells increased.
		The gene that determined this increased life span resulting from calorie restriction was found to be silent information regulator 2 (Sir2), which is involved in transcription silencing.
		Mean life span of the lean mice was 18% greater than that of the WT mice.

	Why Women Live Longer than Men
		Women's life span depends on the balance of two forces, according to Thomas Perls, a geriatrician at Harvard Medical School.
		One contributor to the gender difference in life span is the influence of sex hormones.
		Extending that idea, we argue that the driving force of human life span is maximizing the time during which woman can bear children.

		BioMarker's research suggests it is possible that the ability of CR to extend life span in old animals occurs because it may be able to reverse aging and rejuvenate the elderly, not just slow down the aging process.
		The dramatic life span extension effect (up to 70%) found in these animals makes it clear that, as in CR, we are dealing with a method of retarding the aging process.

	Life Span Nutrition Part 3
		The redox equilibrium (or potential as it is sometimes called) determines the health and life of foods as it determines the health and life of people, animals and plants.
		The life span of food items is determined by the balance between their AOMs and LSMs, just as it occurs in people and plants.
		In the above three examples, the life span of foods is shortened and the nutritive value of food markedly diminished by premature oxidative damage of foods.

	Long Life Spans: "Adam Lived 930 Years and Then He Died"
		The recent progress of research in the biochemistry of aging, along with the cosmic radiation caused by the Vela supernova eruption, makes the long life spans of Genesis 5 and the decrease of human life spans at the time of the Flood scientifically plausible.
		Caloric restriction is one of the approaches that researchers have discovered for extending the life span of certain organisms.
		Scientists' success in altering the life span of selected organisms (such as worms, yeast, and fruit flies) and their emerging ability to increase human life expectancy through biochemical manipulation lend scientific plausibility to the long life spans recorded in Genesis 5.

		Secondly, take note that the life span of a woman is a couple of years longer than that of a man. It has been medically shown that female hormones protect women from heart disease until the age of menopause.
		It is also a fact that women are generally exposed to less stress in life and this could also partly account for their increased life spans.
		God spared his life (2 Sam 12:13) even though the penalty for adultery and murder according to the law of Moses is death (Lev 20:10 and Numbers 35:16-19) but allowed his son with Bathsheba to die (2 Samuel 12:14) and also caused a sword (violence and rebellion) to be in his household (2 Sam 12:10).

	''The Free-Radical Theory of Aging: Part I - How it all began'' : Interview with Dr. Denham Harman - HealthWorld Online
		However, by the mid-1960's enough data had been accumulated to make it obvious that the average life span at birth, but not the maximum life span, could be increased by decreasing endogenous free-radical reactions with antioxidant supplementation or diet modulation.
		The failure to increase the maximum life span led to the publication in 1972 of a short paper in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society that modified the free-radical theory of aging by suggesting that the life span was determined by the rate of free radical damage to the mitochondria.
		Decreasing the caloric intake of rats decreased body weight and oxygen consumption by 40 percent, increased average life expectancy at birth by 40 percent, and increased maximum life span by 49 percent.

		The high-calorie diet did not have a noticeable effect on the life span of well-fed mice weaned on a restricted diet after birth, the researchers reported.
