What is Longevity
As per Wikipedia, the word “longevity” is sometimes used as a synonym for “life expectancy” in demography. However, the term longevity is sometimes meant to refer only to especially long-lived members of a population, whereas life expectancy is always defined statistically as the average number of years remaining at a given age. For example, a population’s life expectancy at birth is the same as the average age at death for all people born in the same year (in the case of cohorts). Longevity is best thought of as a term for general audiences meaning ‘typical length of life’ and specific statistical definitions should be clarified when necessary.
Why even care for it? Is it important?
We are on this planet for a very short period of time. If you think you do some good while you are here, you might want to consider the options to prolong your existence on earth.
How should we learn?
start from the most fundamental truth you know, and then work your way up from there.
~Elon Musk
The less we eat, the more we live. Studies done on insects, animals except
human beings.

What is Aging?
AGING cumulative damage to DNA. Sirtuin proteins can help in longetivity. Responsible for DNA repair Fasting is good people curing cancer on 21 day fast.
There are several thousand types of bacteria inside your gut. You goal should be to feed the good bacteria and starve the bad bacteria. Our gut in itself is a community of micro-organisms.
Food choices
What is the best diet for humans?
Just like cats, dogs and any other mammal, there is a best diet for humans. For humans its one one which is plant based and almost all calories coming from 4 principle food groups
- Fruits
- Vegitables
- Whole grains
- Legumes
low in fat high in fibre
As the numbre of queens and kings and priests and priesteses have increased in the world, so are the heart diseases.
Whats the fuss about Proteins?
All the animals we eat for proteins are Vegitarians. Where is the logic in that!
Apart from promoting muscle growth and immunity functions, excess of proteins also lead to high blood pressure
Is some type of meat like white meat better tha other type like redmeat ?
Stop and think for a second, what is meat? They are muscles and organs of animals. They all are the same
- high fat
- high protein
- high cholestrol
- high in Food Chain and
- No food fibre
What about Calcium? Should not dairy products be calcium rich?
Calcium myth
Small Orange has ~40 milligrams of Calcium.
And we need 500-1200 mg per day.
Lets start with
What is Milk?
Cow millk is for baby-cows, not for adults of another species. Its a cocktail of growth-hormones, lard and fat to fasten the growth of baby animal. Its similar to a liquid meat
Fatty Acids
Our body needs Omega 3 and Omega 6, rest all fats could be synthesised by body from plant based foods.
Soures of Omega 3 | Sources of Omega 6 |
---|---|
Walnuts | meat products |
Flax seeds | Poly unsaturated vegitable oils |
Soy |
Ration between Omega3:Omega6 1:3. But its 1:25 based on normal american diet. Instead of bringing up Omega3 contents using suppliments, try reducing the Omega6 intake.
Why are there obese Vegitarians?
They haven’t given up the Vegitable oil.
All the nutrients that we need are in food. And they are present in very complex combinations that we do not understand fully yet. Suppliments extract a specific compund and overload it on the consumer.
Organic vs non-organic food ?
70% of the US arable land is used to grow crops for animals, and not humans.
Carnism
is a concept used in discussions of humanity's relation to other animals, defined as a prevailing ideology in which people support the use and consumption of animal products, especially meat.

- Packaging fails overtime? Why is it failing?
- Anxiety, stress, they forget to pack again

- Excercise, diet, get hungry
- When organism feel under threat? How do we make our body feel like its under threat?
