Simon Cowell’s recipe for longevity

Simon Cowell says he will live another 40 years. So, what's his secret?

Simon Cowell thinks he will live for another 40 years. While in America last year, he told the Daily Mail's Jan Moir, he underwent the DNA genome sequencing test, which detects future illness or physical weakness and predicts when you might die of natural causes.

The £150,000 procedure told him that he would "live until I am 92. My tests were some of the best they had ever seen. No stress. I am a great believer that many illnesses come through stress." With his rigorous routine of gym workouts, spinach smoothies and vitamin shots, Cowell is determined to live longer than his father, who died of a heart attack at 81.
