"Due to our planet's distance from the sun, our seasons and years are double yours. Our minimum life span, according to natural phenomenon is 200 Earth years. Because of our careful way of life, we have extended it to 300 years. Since Earth is so near to the sun, your year and seasons are half the length of ours; the hypothesis is that your minimum life span should be at least 100 to 150 Earth years, providing you lead a natural life, similar to ours. "Your perverted actions and corrupt standards of living diminished your life span to nearly half of what it should be. Your habits have made your bodies fertile ground for diseases which deprive you of vitality, consume your life, and, by transmission, attack your progeny. Thus large numbers of you are destroyed within half, or less, of your allotted period of life. "Our long life has evolved from thousands of years of constant improvement in our way of living. Some of the causes for our prolonged youth and vigor are freedom from fear, no worry and no misery. Our entire life is based on the principles of love, peace, and common brotherhood. By periodic physical and dental examinations of everyone and proper treatment afterwards, we are constantly preventing as well as curing injuries and diseases. These examinations and treatments are compulsory and take place weekly or more often, as the cases demand. We are also encouraged to participate in healthy exercise daily. Since we understand its importance, we have real enjoyment of our own participating in games and other forms of exercise. "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, before the invention of flying machines, our ancestors felt that they should be able to train themselves to fly like birds. They started intensive arm and shoulder exercise to develop a very swift whole arm movement, similar to that of birds. Since water swimming could easily be learned by special arm and leg movements, there was no reason why they couldn't adapt themselves to fly in the air with arm-attached wings. It took many generations of training muscle and bone before they could overcome the disadvantage of weight and lack of bird body buoyancy; however, they succeeded in mastering flying. That is why we have longer arms and more muscular and bone development of our shoulders and arms than you Earth men. "Health exercises, health rays, diets, and body massages, have kept us young looking, healthy, and vigorous and have kept our body weight very near to normal even in the aged. We prohibit the use of habit-forming foods, tobacco, drugs, and beverages other than low alcoholic beers and wines in limited quantities. Too many of you on Earth carry to extremes a commonplace habit, until it becomes a menace to your health."
