Hey, Frank.  

Salads are the most time-consuming meals to cook.

I do the same except for high intensity training.  Does playing tennis 3+ times a week work?  I say "I" rather than "we" because my wife eats healthier food.  I am grateful to her for making two different dinners but one is a pile of vegetables and doesn't involve cooking.

Russ, I know I should really do that, but I have not yet started to take NMN and Resveratrol. NMN is not available in South Africa over the counter and maybe 2-3 years ago I asked my then GP for a prescription for NMN and she would not give it to me. I've since changed my GP and it is on my agenda to ask him about it soon. 

For now my wife and I are following David Sinclair's 5 living habits for longevity: 
1 don't smoke, 
2 don't eat too much and practice intermittend fasting, 
3 do high intensity training, 
4 eat mainly the right type of foods and 
5 manage your stress and have enough sleep.

Pieter,

Thanks for the links. I hadn't been following David Sinclair. Sounds like interesting work. In one of the videos Sinclair says he is 50. he looks more like 30!

Have you followed up and started to take NMN and Resveratrol? If so, which brands did you select and why?

I don't know the members of Friam personally, but I get the impression it's not exactly a youth club and maybe some might be interested in living healthier longer? (Compared to most others in our culture). I've been following the longevity work of David Sinclair and just maybe one of you might find it interesting?. I quote: 
"David A. Sinclair, Ph.D., A.O. is a Professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School".
https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/people/david-sinclair
If you navigate the site you'll find a list of his publications.

A short video clip from an interview with David where he discusses plant- vs meat-diets. His conclusion is that to live healthier longer (as opposed to merely living longer) one should (amongst many other things) not eat meat, especially not read meat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmRzeD4_41M <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmRzeD4_41M>  

Disclaimer: according to David, vegetarianism is not the most important factor in living healthier longer, it's probably relatively low on the list, so die-hard carnivores (like myself) can still eat moderate amounts of red meat and still live healthier longer.

To conclude, a short presentation by David about his work on longevity in general: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V-IaeVCHlw <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V-IaeVCHlw>
