Did you know that Harlan David Sanders – better known by the familiar moniker Colonel Sanders – founded Kentucky Fried Chicken at the age of 65.4. On top of that, as of 2009, there are at least 6.5 million elderly citizens ages 65 or older working labor jobs. That number is projected to reach 11.1 million by 2018.5. That might be the right way to go, considering working past retirement can help you achieve longevity.6. Really though, the key to longevity is in your lifestyle. This report argues
