The State of Life Extension

Via Cremieux on Twitter/X:

The only rigorously proven things you can do for life extension right now are:

  • Don't be fat
  • Be fit
  • Control your blood sugar
  • Control your blood pressure
  • Have low cholesterol
  • Don't poison yourself
Almost everything else is speculative and dubious.

  1. Also consider life extension will very possibly mean more time spent in a nursing home. We've been able to make people live a little longer, but not really better.
