WALTER SCOTT’S

What has Damian Lewis been doing since his

character was killed off on Homeland?

—Siobhan M., Cicero, Ill.

A: Lewis, 44, has joined the impressive list of actors who have played Henry VIII. The much-storied king, whom he plays in the BBC Masterpiece production of Wolf Hall premiering tonight on PBS, “was tremendously proud of his calf muscles,” jokes Lewis. “He lorded it over Philip the Fair of France.” His own muscles, says the actor, “are not that good—which is why they put me in thigh-length boots to stop my pale, skinny, English, white legs from poking out.”

Q: I have been a fan of

Lucy Lawless since her

Xena days. Does she have

anything coming up?

—Vesna P.,

New Orleans, La.

A: Lawless, 47, who is famous for the costume dramas Xena: Warrior

Princess and Spartacus, is heading back to the 17th century as Countess Marburg, one of the last survivors of a legendary line of ancient German witches, on Salem. The series begins its second season tonight on WGN. Of her costumes this time around she says: “Holy cow! Corsets are hard work. But they certainly help define a character.”

WALTER SCOTT ASKS...

ELISABETHMOSSThe � ve-time Emmy Award nominee, 32, says goodbye to her character, Peggy Olson, when AMC’s hit series Mad Men begins air-ing its � nal episodes tonight. (For an interview with show creator Ma� hew Weiner, see page 4.)

Has Peggy evolved

over the seasons? “So much. A lot of it is by virtue of her age, going from 20 to 30. She wasn’t a fully formed person when we started, and now she’s become the person she’ll probably be for much the rest of her life.”

What lesson did you

learn from your time

on Mad Men? “Follow your heart and trust your instincts. You don’t know what’s going to work; you

don’t know what people are going to respond to. You just have to do what

you like and what you think you would watch.”

What do you miss the most now

that you’ve fi nished fi lming? “The character of Peggy. I still see [the other actors]. They will always be

in my life. But the character will never be in my life

again, so I think that not getting to play her

anymore is what I miss the most.”

You followed up

Mad Men with a

turn on Broadway

in The Heidi Chroni-

cles. Why theater?

“I think theater is a dis-cipline, like running a marathon, mentally and physically—and marathons make you stronger. It helps to push you as an actor.”

How did it feel on the set the fi nal day of shooting last July? “It was very emotional. Maybe because I’m a dad, I kind of tried to hold it together. � e actors and people hung out and waited for everybody’s last moment. � ere were a lot of photos being taken and a lot of speeches. And Jon Hamm was the last shot and the last word. By the time he did his last shot and talked to the crew, we must have had 300-something people on the set.”

How do you want the fans to feel when the show’s over? “Satisfi ed. And I have no con-trol over that, because I’m a

longtime viewer of television and there’s something about [a show] ending that is unsatis-fying, no matter what. I do think that we were very con-scious of leaving everybody in a place that we thought gives the audience some clarity.”

Do you want viewers to be surprised, shocked or stunned? “Oh, all of that.”

The fi nal season of the Emmy-winning AMC series Mad Men, which begins airing tonight, is being promoted as “the end of an era.” � at refers to both the close of the 1960s (the setting of the show) and to the series itself. Matthew Weiner, 49 (above right,

4 SUPER-SIMPLE SECRETS TO LIVING LONGER, HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER—FROM LONGEVITY EXPERT

DAN BUETTNER AND CENTENARIANS AROUND THE WORLD

You turn 50 and suddenly you’re pegged as “middle-aged.” But what if it really

was the middle, and you could expect to live to 100 or even 120? Don’t laugh.

There are 53,364 centenarians in the U.S. today, according to the latest

Census Bureau fi gures, and experts estimate that number could

skyrocket to 600,000 by 2050. Better yet, many of these oldsters

will defy the doddering stereotype. Take Jeralean Talley

of Inkster, Mich. She was still bowling at 104 and getting around

with the help of a walker last May—when she celebrated her

115th birthday. Last year, United Healthcare polled

104 people who’ve reached triple digits and

found that not a single one felt sad or

burdened, or even particularly old.

On average, they said,

they felt more like

whippersnappers

Interested in joining this club? Enter journalist Dan Buettner. He has spent over a decade studying the healthiest, longest-living people around the world, from residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa to the Greek island of Ikaria—so-called “Blue Zones,” or longevity hotspots (Sardinia, Loma Linda, Calif. and Nicoya, Costa Rica are the others), where people live to 100 or older at much higher-than-average rates.

“hese aren’t the frail elderly,” he says. “hey’re still working, riding bikes, socializing, having sex and enjoying life.”

Since 2009, Buettner has taken the Blue Zones lessons to a few U.S. cities, transforming their residents’ health. Now, he’s letting the rest of us in on their secrets in his new book, he Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest People (National Geographic Books). Here are the most important longevity-boosting habits of centenarians around the globe. Adopt even a few, and you’ll stand a better chance of celebrating your 100th birthday.

1. Find Your Tribe “Who you hang out with trumps just about everything else when it comes to your health,” says Buettner. He found that the people who live longest surround themselves with people who support healthy behaviors, and other research backs that up: When psychologists at Brigham Young University reviewed 148 studies on social relationships, they found that those with stronger connections were half as likely to die as those with weaker ties during the study periods. One explanation: “Health

habits—both good and bad—can spread like a contagion,” says Noah Webster, Ph.D., an assistant research scientist at the University of Michigan’s Life Course Development Institute for Social Research.

Buettner uncovered especially strong evidence of the longevity-boosting efect of friends in ultra-old Okinawans, who form moais (rhymes with “doe eyes”)—groups of lifelong alliances. It’s a concept he has introduced in American cities, including Redondo Beach, Calif., where Joan Edelman lives. More than four years ago, Edelman and her husband met a handful of strangers at a Blue Zones get-together and formed a beach-walking moai; they’ve walked four miles four days a week ever since. “here are 13 of us, ranging from our 40s to 80s,” says Edelman, 67. “We’ve become very close. When someone has a crisis, we show up.”

Centenarians from Blue Zones also take advantage of the life-giving power of social connections in other ways: hey belong to a faith-based community (attending services four times a month can add up to 14 years to your life, Buettner says) and have close-knit families.

“Extended families live near each other, if not together, and they invest time and energy not only in their children but in their parents, grandparents and life partners,” Buettner says. “Just committing to a life partner can add up to three years to your life, according to our research.”

2. Eat Smart he world’s most robust 100- year-olds stick with diets that

are 95 percent plant-based, says Buettner. “hey eat a little meat, but mostly ish,” he says. British researchers tracked 65,000 people for 12 years and found that those who ate seven or more portions of vegetables and fruits every day lowered their risk of dying from the two leading causes of death—cancer and cardiovascular disease—by 25 percent and 31 percent.

“Protein, especially from animal sources, activates two sets of genes that accelerate

aging,” says Valter Longo, Ph.D., director of the University of Southern California’s Longevity Institute, whose studies have shown that people with the

highest protein intake have the highest risk of cancer and mortality compared with those who eat the least.

Never learned to love veggies? Take a page from David and Beverly Van Dillen, of Hermosa Beach, Calif., who

formed a monthly potluck moai a couple of years ago. “We have a group of 12 people, and we

Longevity-Boosting Tricks to Try Right Now

Downsize your dishes Nudge yourself toward eating less by using plates no larger than 10 inches (research shows it can reduce the amount you consume by 22 percent).

Get more social You don’t have to go far to bring more people into your life. Join a club or take a class, says journalist Dan Buettner. “I’ve increased my social network just by planting a community garden in front of my house.” [right]

Make movement a no-

brainer “Coax yourself into moving more by taking public transportation, which requires walking to and from your house, or maintaining a garden or buying a dog who needs a daily walk,” says Buettner.

Science Takes on Death

A longevity pill that helps everyone live to 100 or older is years off. But Bill Gifford,

who surveyed the scientiic landscape (and put his own body under the microscope) in his new book, Spring Chicken: How to Stay

Young Forever (or Die Trying) (Grand Central Publishing), found a few substances that might help us cruise past the usual 80-plus mark.

Rapamycin has been found to extend the lives of both healthy and cancer-stricken mice and is currently approved by the FDA for suppressing the immune system in kidney transplant patients. The hitch: the microbe hampers your immune system and could make you more vulnerable to infections, and it may increase insulin resistance, a contributor to diabetes. “It has the most potential but also the greatest number of side effects,” Gifford says.

Metformin (a common diabetes drug) has extended the lifespan of mice, and may reduce the risk of cardio- vascular disease and cancer in human diabetics. “There may come a day when everyone over 50 will take it, but we’re not there yet,” says Gifford.

Aspirin and ibuprofen may eventually prove to have modest effects on lifespan because the pills reduce inlammation, a major contributor to aging. Still, when overused, both can cause stomach ulcers and bleeding.

support each other in healthy eating and share our favorite recipes,” says Beverly, 70. Since increasing their vegetable consumption, she’s been able to discontinue her cholesterol and blood pressure medications, and David, 69, has lost 40 pounds. “We feel better, we look better and we’re objectively healthier—and we have a great new group of friends we truly enjoy,” he says. (Go to Parade.com/LongevityStew for a longevity-boosting recipe.)

Blue Zones centenarians approach eating diferently, too, says Buettner. Before every meal, Okinawans invoke a 2,500-year-old Confucian mantra, known as hara hachi bu, to remind themselves to stop eating when they’re 80 percent full. People in the Blue Zones also eat their largest meal in the morning and their smallest at night.

As for beverages, most Blue Zones centenarians have a glass of wine a day—a habit that research shows boosts longevity.

3. Seek a Purpose Very old Blue Zoners share another trait: hey have an activity, passion or career that motivates them and gives their lives meaning. “Okinawans call it ikigai, and those who live in Nicoya, Costa Rica, call it plan de vida, both of which mean ‘Why I wake up in the morning,’” says Buettner. In one 14-year study, researchers found that the 569 participants who died had scored lower on ratings of life purpose and social relationships than those who survived. heir conclusion: Having a purpose in life provides a bufer against mortality, no matter your age.

Sense of purpose can come

from a variety of sources, but volunteering is a common one. “here’s growing evidence that it not only keeps you healthier but might help you live longer,” says Webster. For some people, a

sense of purpose evolves naturally—they discover they love singing in a choir, tutoring children or building model trains. For others, it’s less clear. “I looked into everything, from volunteering to a drum circle,” says Beverly Van Dillen. “hen I realized nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping our daughter with our grandchildren, who are 2 and 3.”

Having a sense of purpose might contribute to longevity by lowering the stress hormone cortisol. “Chronic stress leads to inlammation, which is associated with every age-related disease,” Buettner says. 4. Move It It’s no surprise that physical activity also keeps Blue Zoners

young. What is unexpected: “hey don’t exercise, per se,” says Buettner. “Instead, their lifestyles encourage physical activity.” hey garden, bake bread from scratch and walk to the store or to work.

Of course, structured exercise is healthy, too—it can extend life expectancy by 4.5 years, according to a 2012 study by the National Institutes of Health. If you don’t already have a regular routine, consider starting a walking moai. Brian Mattson, 44, of Albert Lea, Minn., has participated in one since the Blue Zones crew came to his town seven years ago.

“We walk every Tuesday and hursday. If I miss a few days, I’ll start getting texts saying, ‘Where are you?’” he says. “We didn’t know each other when we started, but now the group is so much more than exercise. It’s social support and relaxation and friendship. Turns out, this one activity checks a lot of boxes on the Blue Zones list.”

Rocks are continually being lifted to the surface by luctuating freezing temperatures and thawing of soil. Ice crystals form under buried stones, pushing them upward as the ice expands. Thawing soil ills the space under them. As the years go by, the stones arrive at the surface. (It’s no wonder that stone fences are common on farms.) Farmers sometimes joke, “This ield isn’t good for anything but growing rocks.” The phenomenon is part of a complex process called “frost heaving,” which has a huge effect on the soil.
