Dr. Edward Schuster Presents “How to Live to be 120!”
The number of Americans ages 100 and older is projected to more than quadruple over the next three decades, from an estimated 101,000 in 2024 to about 422,000 in 2054, according to projections from the U.S. Census Bureau. And while the percentage of centenarians today skews toward women (78%), the percentage of men reaching 100 years and older is expected to increase to 32% in the next 30 years.
If you’d like to be among those in the “120 Club,” join us on May 12th (10:00 a.m. at Whitby Castle), when Dr. Edward Schuster will present his commonsense plan for living longer without disabilities.
Dr. Schuster is a cardiologist based in Stamford whose simple plan includes dozens of tips for staying fit, eating right, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, and even dental hygiene. He’ll also provide some out-of-the-box suggestions that few senior men ever think of. This promises to be a session that you won’t want to miss. And feel free to bring a friend.
