Extropy in the Personal Sphere

     As a follow up to my initial response to Hagbard's question, I first
     want to express my concern that some may interpret my questions as
     inquisitional and pontifical in nature.
     
     I am trying to get a better understanding of the classic Extropian
     mentality, only essences of which I comfortably subscribe but I find
     them a fascinating group nonetheless. While the particular tactics I
     may use provoke, it is not intended to offend.
     
     However, instead of posing the questions in a way that seeks to cement
     credibility for me at the expense of personal alienation of the
     subscribers to this digest, let me instead, share what measures I take
     and would like to take to ensure the quality of my physical health and
     vitality into "old age" (although I'm quite optimistic ours may be the
     first generation to cinch that destiny).
     
     * My diet is predominantly vegetarian and predominantly organically
     tended.
     * I supplement with a number of minerals and am researching other
     tonics to add to my regimen. This is right now, somewhat adhoc. I'd
     like to consult a nutritionist to get a more personalized regimen.
     * I stay out of the sun and if I am in the sun for long periods of
     time, I wear sunscreen, shades, hat.
     * I perform facial exercises and moisturize and exfoliate the skin on
     my face and neck.
     * I exercise three times a week and would like to increase that
     because the number of calories I consume compared to my metabolic rate
     isn't as it was in my 20s.
     * Psyllium shakes on a fairly "regular" basis <G>
     
     I'd actually like to get more ideas on what people do to ensure the
     quality of their physical health.
     
     Regards,
     
     
     Rick
