    Eat processed food and get older faster!

    There is a lot of research on aging repairs, I wonder if I might benefit from it in time.

      Most of that anti-aging stuff I’ve seen is close to moonshot type technology and even then with little gains. However, we’ve certainly found lots of things we like do to in our society that ages us faster that we can cut out. Sadly, some of the main contributors are expensive to avoid, such as stress. Just from my personal observation it doesn’t mean living a longer life as a numeric number of years, but instead those decades at the end become much closer in lifestyle to the lifestyle of our youth with regards to mobility, cognitive function, and overall health.

        Then you might have looked in the wrong place. There are only a handful things that make us age (like cells not dying correctly and becoming senescent, the hayflick limit, and some 4-5 other groups), they have startups working on them all, to varying degrees of course.

        There are even the first ones out there, but it’s a bit like when mobile phones were invented, they were big, clunky, expensive and didn’t work well. Now you don’t even want a perfectly working cell phone because smartphones are getting cheap too. I’m hoping the trend will be similar, and that’s what smarter than me people work on.

        What you said is right though, don’t eat processed food, don’t be sedentary, don’t drink too much or smoke, and you’ll probably live a healthy life for quite some time.

        all these bullshit studies do is look at diet while ignoring physical activity.

        Epidemiology is a joke “science” for flunkees.

      Depends. Is your income above $500,000?
