Go to the New York Times website and do an archives search on the
compound Resveratrol. It causes a marked change in the metabolism
of overweight people such that the lifespan (at least as tested in mice
and other animals) is improved by as much as 50%. If the NYT’s is

compound is commercially available over the counter (mail order on
Google) although I do not know how safe and pure these products are.
