A lot of people want to look younger in their 40s and 50s. They even want to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetics and treatments to look younger than their age.
But the question here is that is it really to hard and expensive to look young????
Well, the answer is no
Basics
Let's talk about the basics first. The issue here shouldn't be how to look young or increase longevity but the main point is when to ??
Most people start worrying about their aging when they hit their 40s or 50s. The ideal time to start thinking about aging and health is early 20s. It's the time when people should start incorporating healthy habits into their daily routines.
The basic healthy habits that should never be compromised at any cost include: sleeping early, avoiding processed food, Exercising, eating before sunset, Having a balanced diet, and no screen in bed.
Bryan Johnson, who is researching longevity, has his final meal before 11 am.
Bryan Johnson
Bryan Jhonson, a tech entrepreneur, spends 2M$ every year on one mission which is " Don't Die"
Johnson has spent nearly $4M on his mission called Blueprint. He has a team of 30 doctors monitoring his daily progress. He eats more than 111 pills a day and collects his daily stool samples for monitoring. Bryan also wears a baseball cap that shoots red light on his scalp. He eats 1500 calories a day. Bryan prefers to take all these 15oo calories at one time of the day. Even if he gets invited to dinners he fills his plate with food but doesn't touch anything at all. He also monitors his nighttime erections by wearing a tiny jet pack attached to his penis.
He sleeps for 8 hours a day and any act that speeds up the process of aging like sleeping less than eight hours, eating a cookie or any processed food is considered an act of violence.
What is like to be Bryan Johnson???
Well, Let's talk about something about his day-to-day life.
Bryan mostly wakes up at 4;50 am. His bedroom has no books, no towels, no mobile phone or electric device, no clothes, no chair and no mirror. There is only one bed for sleeping a laser face shield to boost his collagen growth and a device that he wears on his penis to monitor night time erections.
Bryan, who is 46 years old, claims to have 2 hours and 18 minutes of erection each night while an average 18-year-old has 3 hour of erection per night.
When he wakes up he measures his body weight to calculate his body fat, hydration level, and body mass index. He is in the 1% of ideal muscle fat. He has a light therapy lamp to mimic sunlight which he turns on in the morning for 2 to 3 minutes to reset his circadian rhythm. He takes 2 pills of ferritin for iron along with vitamin C.
He has organized his blueprint supplement regime from left to right on his kitchen counter. He sips dark green sludge in the morning and takes more pills in between those sips. He has a home gym in which he spends an hour a day, seven days a week. In his meal, he eats steamed vegetables and lentils blended.
Johnson says that death is inevitable, he wants to prolong his time before he dies.
Some doctors showed serious concerns regarding more than 100 pills a day. They said that taking too many pills at a time can have cumulative effect on the body and also there is no proof that just because they worked on Bryans body doesn't mean that it will work on your body too
