The second element of the trinity is exercise. You don’t have to follow Lazarus into epic middle-of-the-night cycling odysseys. Being ultra-fit actually adds little to your level of health, he says. What you need is to exercise regularly, not haphazardly, to the "set point" where you improve heart and muscular function such that you aren’t vulnerable to disease.

He isn’t prescriptive in the book, but he says that getting to that point about three days a week, for about an hour a time, should do it. Plus some resistance training (light weights). If the player dies as Lazarus Risen, his signature on Isaac's last will will have blood drops on it. We are all living longer. There are already more than 8 billion people on the planet, and by 2050, two billion of us will be over the age of 60, and around 434 million over 80, according to the World Health Organisation. Prepare not to be particularly surprised by the answer. Eat less, and eat smart. Exercise more, and regularly. And pay regard to your mental health. But what will those extra years of life bring? Many of us will end up spending our final decades struggling with chronic diseases and depending on non-curative drugs and health carers – not the sprightly old age that most of us would wish for.

So, what can we do? If we have met our needs regarding the first two points (food and exercise), then our bodies should already be as fit as possible, providing a good basis for meeting our mental wellbeing needs. The key advantage to having a healthy exercise regime and diet is that you can take your body to places you might not have been able to in the past, whether that’s going on a lengthy hike in the Scottish Highlands, or simply taking a stroll around your local area. The impact getting outdoors can have on your mental health is proven. At 50, you’ll enjoy the feeling of getting fitter, he says. But at 75 or 80, you have to accept the feeling of being able to do a bit less. Don’t rage against the dying of the light – just keep going, because you enjoy it.

If a co-op player joins in and takes a red heart from Lazarus, then Lazarus dies and gets revived, the co-op player can leave to grant Lazarus Risen an extra heart container. Items that reduce range (such as Number One) or items that reduce shot speed (such as Eve's Mascara and Dead Onion) can prove themselves to be negative for Lazarus. The same applies to item that require a good range stat to be effective (such as A Lump of Coal). If I had to put this in financial terms, I’d say this is asset management in a bear environment,” he says. The messages that come out saying, 'If you eat quinoa, this is a magic new food, and these magical foods will make your immune system go through the roof' – it’s false news. All you’ve really got to do is eat the correct number of calories for your age and gender.”

Yes, but I’d just like quantify that a little bit first. Obviously, there are lots of diseases which can affect us as humans, some of them are genetic and we have no control over them, others are behaviour related and depend on how we conduct ourselves as adults. There is no doubt that anyone can turn their life around, it’s simply a matter of changing behaviours and consequently altering the course of these diseases. Of course, if you already have a disease related to behaviour, then it is more difficult, because you’re working against that disease, but even under adverse conditions, you can still begin to ameliorate many conditions and improve your health in general. Lazarus Risen will always have Anemic activated and will constantly leave blood trails. A higher Speed attribute may help him spread more blood around the room. You will know, I promise you, you will feel that when you’ve done your repetitive exercise for, say, six months, you suddenly have a feel, and it’s hard to describe, that you are in the right place,” he says.

Lazarus deployed his medical know-how to develop a simple “trinity” of actions that, if started during middle-age, give you a solid shot at warding off the 20 or so avoidable diseases of age, including cardiovascular disease, pre-stroke hypertension, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, dementia, non-alcoholic liver disease, peripheral artery disease, and certain kinds of cancers. It can be a solid strategy to let yourself purposefully die at the beginning to become Lazarus Risen and obtain stronger stats, although you will be revived on the spot and have only 1 heart container. Dr Norman Lazarus, 87, is an exception. He is an expert on the physiology of healthy human ageing and living proof that our later years can be lived well. Even now, in his eighties, he leads an active and medication-free lifestyle, regularly walking and cycling long distances. Dr Lazarus has now written a remarkable book, with the aim of helping others to stay well for longer. Lazarus is a reference to Lazarus of Bethany. In the Bible, Lazarus of Bethany was resurrected by Jesus 4 days after his death. This is why Lazarus spawns with 1 extra life. The first thing you should say to yourself is, am I exercising? If the answer’s no, you’re missing one of the crucial necessities that humans commonly neglect when it comes to health. The truth is exercise is what directed the human species to evolve and survive in the first place. If you couldn’t chase your prey you wouldn’t survive, it’s as simple as that. And our whole physiology in terms of evolution is designed to chase, this means regular increases in heart-rate are vital to overall health.His revived form has increased base stats, with above-average damage, speed, and range. Though low on health, his improved stats counterbalance this weakness well. The waiter arrived with the soup course, but Lazarus put down his spoon and folded up the napkin. It was time to get serious about getting healthy, before it was too late. The Lazarus Strategy builds on his many years of physiological research to reveal the path to a more active, productive, independent future life free of medication. This remarkable book shows how the different lifestyle choices we make now will determine our experience of ageing through our golden years – and how fast.
