Elsmar Coveists are probably going to live to 200!

[Peter West]

Dear All

Saw this 'How to live beyond 100' and couldn't help but think of the Cove especially...

'...philanthropic lifestyle has proved life-preserving.
Research has suggested a decrease in mortality figures among those who put others before themselves. The theory is that giving back can provide a sense of purpose and self-worth and result in the "helper's high" - a "physical sensation" resulting from the endorphin release after an act of kindness or generosity. Some argue that these feelings can reduce stress, promote wellbeing and strengthen the immune system.

Now 106, Mrs Hardwick is still putting others first, while enjoying the odd glass of whisky.'

So for all you coveists that enjoy an alcoholic libation (optional) whilst you scan the Cove to help - you will hopefully live a long time!

Now I just need to get my bosses to allow me to bring in some nice whiskey to sip on while I work! It would sure help the day go by quicker and the spelling errors rise faster.

I have been in workplaces where a thermos of tea or coffee wasn't exactly pure tea or coffee. These popular plastic bottles of soda or water also seem ready-made for introducing "contaminants" into the beverage and thence into the workplace.

When I first entered the investment banking world in the 1960's, it seemed EVERYONE had alcoholic beverages in the workplace. Our conference room had a well-stocked bar and kitchenette at one end.

I hadn't thought about it before, but this could be the reason I have reached my advanced age (getting my endorphins flowing with my generosity in sharing libations.)

Wow, this thread is straying off-topic pretty fast. Alcohol was barely mentioned. The life-extending properties were being attributed to service to others, not getting pickled!
