I ’m amazed at how often people claim to have discovered the “fountain of youth.” Month after month, year after year, magazine covers and book jackets tout the latest and greatest longevity secrets. Scientists come up with genetic keys, and nutritionists proclaim the one…or two…or seven foods that guarantee long, healthy lives to those who eat them. Fitness experts invent exercise plans that promise to keep us young, slim and agile at any age. | Although good nutrition and exercise really do help, no one has yet come up with a guaranteed life- lengthening, youth-renewing plan that provides people in their 80s, 90s, hundreds and beyond the strength and
vitality of people half their age. | No one, that is, except Moses.
