Clearly if you want to live much longer than 100 then you need to under go GENETIC ENGINEERING. Not just eat well exercise well and hope. Of course the genetic option will only be available to elites, and the general public will continue to be hit with harmful toxins and vaccines with cancer viruses…
this is now not ten or 50 years ago
140%… still fit though.
@mastershake1000 both
80%
wait wait wait… Do you stop at 20% full stomach, or 80%?
Most of this is good information, however some of it requires decoding and more analysis. For example, you have to take in to account the toxicity of your environment and your food. If you eat a conventional, pesticide, irradiated, plant-based diet, you’re probably SOL. Be careful…
hey buddy. nice to see you in the same info.
what up steve!
American are imprison in a pyramid society. The life of a battery is not important. The question is, Can this battery give off the temporary energy to maintain and build upon the pyramid?. In America the goal is to politic progression in humanity, and this progression is welfare to social affair. Extracting the people energy to create property/wealth in exchange for money which is just a fraction of wealth. They don`t have a plan, so they have a plan to fail. WHAT IS YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE?.
The “solution” is called PRIVATE ROADS you communists
nice vid
Who has anything better? The people are smiling, laughing, having fun, and seem happy. I like that path.
Finding common denominators woking in different cultures speaks.
And 9 Common Points Seem To Work.
The wine thing has been proved by others.
Building an everyday life style that supports happy people and a longer life is for me.
Thank you. And thanks poseidon for the spelling lesson. I did not know and wanted to. Allows me to look further.
For starters, I don’t like his presentational style; he sounds like the worst kind of motivational speakers. (Not that there are any good ones though…)
Also, it would be really interesting to hear what Buettner, Ray Kurzweil and Aubrey DeGray think of each other’s ideas regarding longevity.
You’re just sad because you got shit genes.
Do you eat to live or live to eat?
Yep, thereof my comment that it is the sense of something worth living for that matters; I just didn’t like the way he phrased it, it made it sound like religious faith by default is good for your health, that’s all.
yes thank you, Ikigai, A wonderful mantra, though I could use some Hara Hachi bu as well. And thanks for the characters, I never would have found those

In what he meant by religion, he didn’t mean to imply anything theological: the Okinawan example for instance.
hara hachi bu is the 80% rule. you’re looking for ikigai. This should be it:
生き甲斐
They believe in a literal 6-day creation, a 6000 year old universe, talking snakes, IQ-raising sin-fruit, and all the rest of the fundamentalist nuttery. They also believe the END OF THE WORLD is coming soon. Maybe even TOMORROW!!!!!! Ich.
Yes. They live an ascetic lifestyle that includes no smoking, drinking, meat, or that thing called “fun”.
If I lived to be 100 living like that, I’d shoot myself first.
Arn’t adventists vegetarians, don’t smoke, or drink alcohol? Perhaps this helps explain their longevity.
Please clarify “nuts”.
this video seems a bit dated. We know that the DNA telemeres are huge factor in cell replication. It seems that “aging” is linked to a shortenning of the telemeres. And that the telemeres are important to allow for more consistantly, accurate cell replication. There are already some promising understanding on how the telemere can be relengthened. Look it up.
Ah I listened again and he said what I just said. It’s one generation of usefulness
