The so-called "Fountain of Youth" is one of history's long
sought-after mysteries: a legendary bubbling spring that
restores a person's youth if he drinks its water. Spanish
conqueror Juan Ponce de Leon, who sailed with Columbus on his
second voyage to the New World in 1493, is most famous for his
search for the fountain. In his expedition, he would search the
coasts of Florida and be the first European to discover the Gulf
Coast. Unfortunately, he would die in Havana, Cuba before ever
finding the mythical source of everlasting youth. While most of
us don't believe there's an actual fountain that spouts magic,
life-giving water, the idea of the Fountain of Youth says a lot
about our desire to cheat death and live as long as possible on
Earth. Despite all of the hardships and minor annoyances, humans
seem to enjoy life, and living a long, productive and healthy
one is important and meaningful to many. Some medicines, aptly
