Description
If you're reading this, you probably want to live to a hundred.
And why wouldn't you want to live a super-long life, if you could remain in good health? You'd get to meet your great-grandkids, try out space travel and the teleporter, and gross out all your descendants by having noisy old-person sex.
Comedian Ariane Sherine has always been determined to live into her hundreds, but never knew how. With so much conflicting and confusing health information out there, she didn't have a clue where to start until she met David Conrad, a public health expert, who helped her to weigh up all the research and evidence and explained exactly what to do to live a long and healthy life.
And together, they've decided to tell you how to live to a hundred too.
This book has all the facts, stats, inappropriate jokes and shameless puns you could ever need to make it to your eleventh decade. The evidence is given for a hundred factors that affect life expectancy - everything from green tea to gardening, sex to sweeteners. And celebrities weigh in with their own thoughts too, so you'll find contributions from Derren Brown, Richard Osman, Lou Sanders, Charlie Brooker, Konnie Huq, Robin Ince, Jeremy Vine, Clive Anderson and many more.

'This book will probably save your life. Unfortunately' Charlie Brooker 'A frolicsome deep-dive into the important stuff of life. This book will improve your health' Derren Brown 'The perfect guide if you want to live a healthier, happier and longer life' Richard Osman 'This book does two great things. Makes you wiser, and makes you happy. No point living to 100 unless you enjoy it. With this book, you will' Jeremy Vine 'Ariane Sherine has done it again - a witty and wise guide to the best pathways into old age' Arthur Smith 'If you fancy reaching your 100th birthday and are not blessed with that certain Krypton factor (!!) there is another way! Simply buy the excellent How to Live to 100 which will arm you with the ton of facts you'll need to steer you safely through life's long and challenging assault course en route to the exclusive Centurion Club. The book is also laced with rounds of fascinating observations from big name celebs and the odd barely known one! A great read' Gordon BurnsMore details
