How to buy health and beauty for money

Everyone knows the saying that “you can't buy health”. Many have heard the words of Karl Lagerfeld - "beauty does not require sacrifice, but money." But beauty and health are strongly interconnected, so if you can buy beauty, you can buy health. Let's try to look for examples of buying health and beauty for money.

Since ancient times, people have been looking for a means of preserving health and beauty forever, or at least for many years. Ancient healers and medieval alchemists worked on elixirs of youth, but found nothing. Modern medicine has gigantic resources, but life expectancy has only slightly increased. Although in the world there are vivid examples of buying health for money.

Everyone knows the name Rockefeller, but not everyone knows that the current head of the Rockefeller family, David, has repeatedly bought health and life itself. David Rockefeller is considered the oldest of the richest people on the planet. At the same time, it should be noted that his personal fortune is inferior to many billionaires, he is not even included in the world's top 500 richest people.

It is believed that numerous surgeries and organ replacements helped David Rockefeller live to be 100 years old. Since 1976, Rockefeller has changed his heart regularly. The first replacement was carried out in 1976, after a car accident. Then new operations followed, and the last heart replacement was performed quite recently.

Today, the seventh heart beats in Rockefeller's chest. The first, given from birth, worked long ago, and he had to buy 6 donor hearts to prolong his life. It turns out that David proved by his example - health can be bought for money!

But why, then, do other billionaires live less? Why was David, who is not even in the top 500 richest people, able to outlive so many wealthy wealthy people? Did they not know about the possibilities of medicine or did sudden death come to everyone? If you read the biographies of the richest people, you can see that they all knew and used medicine, but they were less fortunate than Rockefeller.

David has good genes. His grandfather John Davison Rockefeller was born on July 8, 1839 and lived until May 23, 1937. He was a little short of 98 years old, although he did not have the achievements of modern medicine at his disposal.

John Davison Rockefeller really wanted to live a great life, this was his goal, and he also said that his grandson David is more like him than all his relatives. David was born on June 12, 1915, and immediately had the money, connections and authority that his grandfather had earned for him. Therefore, it was easier for David in everything, he had all the possibilities and good genes, but in any case, he turned out to be weaker than his grandfather and lived to be 100 years old only thanks to multiple heart replacements.

It turns out, despite all the advances in medicine, we still cannot buy health, but can only slightly prolong our life. The case of David Rockefeller is unique, and it's not even about money, but about the qualities inherited from his grandfather - to fight for life in all ways and really want to live. It was thanks to a great desire that he was able to undergo 6 heart transplants.

Other rich people apparently did not have such a great desire to live. Therefore, David is the oldest billionaire.

Now let's remember the second point - buying beauty? Take a look around and take a close look at women with big money and opportunities - are they all beautiful? Not at all! Many, on the contrary, look terrible, and their plastic surgery and pathetic attempts to preserve their beauty have become the subject of ridicule by journalists and ordinary people.

Even worse, many women, trying to buy beauty, harm their health and prematurely go to another world. At the same time, you can find women without a lot of money, who manage to maintain a beautiful figure and a pleasant bright face at a very old age.

Words come out Karl Lagerfeld - “beauty requires not sacrifice, but money” lies? You don't have to judge Karl so harshly, he just loves to provoke the audience, and most importantly, his job is to create and sell beauty.

Conclusions - despite the achievements of medicine and big money, we still cannot buy beauty and health. In some cases, it is possible to extend life a little, and only in rare cases is it possible to extend life by tens of years. There are very few such examples - they are possible in cases where money is combined with a gigantic desire to live and an unshakable faith in oneself.

If you look even deeper into the history of the issue. Many of us buy health and life. Various medications and surgeries can prolong life. People used to die in childhood and adolescence from pneumonia, appendicitis, and a host of other health problems that are now relatively easy to deal with.

Now we do not think much that modern pills or surgery have prolonged our lives and bought health for decades to come. And if we could give modern possibilities of medicine to our ancestors of the era Middle ages and even in the 18th and 19th centuries it would have seemed a miracle to them.

The last time Rockefeller's heart was transplanted was at the age of 99. The operation, which the surgeons performed right at David's house, lasted six hours. After the operation, Rockefeller told reporters, “Every time I get a new heart, it’s like a breath of life sweeps through my body. I feel energized and alive. "
