Staying Superyoung: Frequent Exercise & Lots of Sex

Jane Fronda and Richard PerryJane Fonda says sex is great at 71. Her titanium hip and artificial knee don’t get in the way of enjoying the best sex of her life with new guy Richard Perry. When asked about the secret of her good looks, Fonda said:

“I owe 30 per cent to genes, 30 per cent to good sex, 30 per cent because of sports and healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and for the remaining 10 per cent - I have to thank my plastic surgeon.”

Fonda is on track, linking good sex to looking young.

Two doctors David Weeks, of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, and University of Chicago Michael Roizen, argue that only about 25% of aging is related to genetics. The remaining 75% is behavioral, meaning that you and I have control over whether or not we become Superyoung. via Anne

Dr. Roizen estmates that you can add nearly two years to your life if only you enjoy good sex twice a week. Dr. Weeks recommends three times a week for looking at least 10 years younger than your real age.

Jane isn’t actually stretching the envelope much, dating Richard Perry, who is four years younger. She swears that she has never been happier in her life.
