I don't eat animal corpses from '96 and I'm vegan from 2000. I try to eat in some periods of one-two months only fruit and raw vegetables, and it makes me feel better, with much energy.
I have recently discovered the Arnold Ehret's theory, about the disintoxication and reconstitution of body health with a "mucusless" diet (have you ever heard?). Now I get involved with it and feel quite good...
Hi Elaine. Are you a member of imminst? We are a growing community involved in life extension, health, nutrition... space exploration and all other science topics. We organize conferences, we have scientists there that are wokring on defeating aging. You probably heard of Aubrey De Grey right? You can easily find us on google, I hope you can stop by there sometime, you have some interesting thoughts and ideas :) And we share most of your views on longevity, space travel, religion etc etc...
Thinking of dropping vitamins A and E from my supplement regimen in the wake of the study done showing taking them leading to a statistically significant spike in premature deaths.
I don't want to get into a situation where I'm changing it every time a new study comes out, but the reality is that no one has definitive answers and we all need to take some guesses no matter how nutritionally aware one is.
Liked the first two longevity vids! Hoping you're going to do one on the cryogenic plan.
Yeah! The next vid will be on WHY I want to live a long time, and I'll talk about my cryo plan with Alcor. I just haven't had any time!! The students are doing final exams and presentations this week and we ahve a zia show comin up with THREE new members.. so I've been too swamped for youtube.
Been thinking about your overwhelming desire to see the future. It's interesting, because if we could just put you on a ship and accelerate you close to the speed of light for a few minutes you could learn all you like about Earth 100, 200, 500, 5,000 years from now without having to worry about dying. No going back of course, but I think you'd make that trip.

I find it scary how many pills you take instead of eating "real" food. What's the point of having a "healthy" diet if you take away all the good stuff about eating : taste, texture...
If you're short on vitamins, why not having raw vegetables and fruit instead of taking all that NASA food ;)
Some people do that too here in France, even though we have markets with fresh&healthy food all over the place... go figure!?
BLECH. I CAN'T eat any more than I normally eat! I had my diet analyzed by a nutritionist and they recommended supplements. I also compared it to my findings on the realage site. I only take a spoonful of liquid vitamins, then 4 small pills that the liquid vitamins are a wee bit short on for my age/sex/diet. Most proponents of longevity take 20 pills a day! It seems strange that in 2008 we STILL have to prepare food 3 times a day. I wish I COULD live on pills and just eat when I FELT like it. :)
Well honestly that would be quite a sad future - for me at least. You see, for me food isn't just about putting fuel in your organism, it's also one of the foremost pleasures in my life, after music. The fabulous amount of tastes, textures you have at your disposal to create and experiment...
Anyways... for me, the whole idea of feeding on pills is like listening only to cheap dance music. It may serve its purpose but you know... in the end you miss so much fabulous experiences.
And yes I agree cooking isn't always the most interesting thing to do each day but it sure beats taking astronaut food!
On the nutritionist part... being French and being married to a Japanese women, I'm familiar with the food diets which lead to the highest life expectancy (alongside with health care programs of course) and it's all about variety and natural products ;)
Did you see the last vid where i'm eating a salad of raw spinach and apples and cheese and a black bean burger patty??? I just cannot physically eat enough FISH and protein rich foods to possibly come close to what a nutritionists says I need before/after strenuous exercise. I'm just not that excited about eating and HATE cooking. If you enjoy cooking you are LUCKY.
I swear it's scary how close we are when it comes to food! So cool to hear you're a vegetarian. I've always felt a connection with other vegetarians because they "Go though" the same stuff like it being harder to go out to eat and blah blah blah and with the vitamin thing, etc... you know. I was actually vegan for about half a year. I've stopped taking vitamins though. I just don't want them. I might start again. I do exercise alot though. Took a look at your website. You're very intriguing. <3
I was vegan in 1991 for about 4 days, then gave up and decided to draw the line and not eating warm blooded animals. But ironically, the reasons I don't eat meat should also keep me from eating any dairy, but.. I'm just not there yet. It would be sooooooooooo hard to ever eat out, for one thing.
Yeah it was VERY hard. I actually just DIDNT eat out at all except for one place I randomly found while on a trip in another state, LOL. It's alright though, I still think we're doing a good thing.

I was a member at one point. I'm not sure now! Yes, I'm familiar with Aubrey De Grey. :)
I'll go online and make sure I'm a member. Are there any local meetups in Phoenix, Vegas, or Las Cruces NM?
