Harriet, the tortoise, lived for 176 years. She lived at the Brisbane-area zoo in Australia for 18 years. Legend indicates that Charles Darwin carried her away during his visit to the Galapagos Islands in 1835.
Zoo staff marked her birthdays with a pink hibiscus flower cake.
Zoo officials said Harriet showed no sign of physical decline before the heart attack that ended her life.
She benefitted from a strict fitness regimen. In the morning, she went outside and warmed up. When she had enough sun, she retreated to the shade.
In what ways can your future benefit from the past?
Is there a gift or behavior from an ancestor you have not yet claimed?
What can you do to remain in good health into advanced age?

With Harriet as inspiration, consider:
