I like green spaces and all but you can miss me with that extended life stuff.
Well unlike a lot of modern medical interventions, this likely works by improving your level of health--the life extension is more of a side-effect of being healthier. I think that's a good thing. There is a lot of pain and suffering associated with early death in most cases.
