@PeterDiamandis All signs contradict you: raising inequalities, erosion of truth, rampant totalitarism, plastic everywhere, kids getting dumber with screens, AI making us lazy, losing our primary forests. Perhaps Hollywood movies didn't do a good job on you.

@Seanfrank I'll give him the world's most insecure Man award (well second place after the Don)

@Arciel___Baez Haha nice one, didn’t know that. But it makes sense. When the body does not have to work to make semen, it likely preserve its cells integrity. Just like small people live longer because their body didn’t get exhausted growing at a rapid pace.

1) you would need to check her claim, 65 years ago meat was much more expensive, she would have needed to be very wealthy to eat mostly meat
2) many people get very old despite their habits, look at Jeanne Calment smoking until her death for example, look at Donald trump still alive despite his terrible fast food diet
3) single stories never prove anything in science

@ted_ryce @ronaldtenholte @carnivorerev Same as antivax movement, denying the data

@burninganna Wasn’t it earlier in Siberia?

[Alex Longevity @AlexLongevity1]

I Think that the concern is More that carbs lead to glucose spikes, which incidently requires insulin to lower the level. But this can be adressed with lifestyle changes like a walk after eating. Carnivore might help digestions in the short term because proteins are so easy to digest. But long term, you make your digestive system weak. Not to mention how expensive and unecologic this diet is.

@theandreiverdes Thanks for sharing your experience! What about a coder and a marketer?

[Alex Longevity @AlexLongevity1]

@theandreiverdes @ThomasTypinski Haha! Well said Andrei

[Alex Longevity @AlexLongevity1]

@burninganna Great idea! I thought you were Georgian 🤪

[Alex Longevity @AlexLongevity1]

@BiggestComeback Haha nice one 🤣
Well wearing even lower size will be best since shorter people in generał live longer.

@drishanshaha Nice thread. For me it is the cleaning process during deep sleep which was the most striking thing about sleep. But REM is also cricial, especially for regulating emotion and feeling positive the next morning. It’s like a psychologiczno therapy removing the last day’s trauma.

I’ve had insomnia lately. So I’m starting a 6 week CBTI

Here’s for the 1st week:
- keep a sleep log
- wake up at the same time everyday
- 15min to 30min morning sunlight upon awakening

New study: a GLP-1 drug (tecepatide) may be the first medication to treat sleep apnea. Patients saw a fivefold reduction in severity, and 50% needed no further treatment. Could be a game-changer! #SleepApnea #GLP1

1/ Dentists may soon fight cavities without drills.

Researchers have developed a gel that can restore real tooth enamel—the hardest substance in the human body.
It’s not a patch, not a coating, actual regrowth!
If this works in humans, dentistry changes forever.

Lets dig into this, a thread 🧵

@markeatsmeat Wrong Logic. People very old today were eating much less meat in their youth. So you better say live long despite recently eating a lot of meat.

[Alex Longevity @AlexLongevity1]

@Longevity_Now_ Haha! That's a great costume :D

[Alex Longevity @AlexLongevity1]

Fascinating 😅

Low dose viagra to counter the effects of cardiovascular & brain aging raises eyebrows but it’s a real thing

@SamaHoole This is not true for every tumor. Some cancerous cells actually really like cetones.
