Ben Greenfield shares a year of health experiments: aspirin may extend maximum lifespan by 400% at doses under 1 g daily, he practices guitar and memorizes Bible verses nightly, and his weight climbed from 169 pounds post-Ironman to nearly 200 pounds in three months.
Aspirin may not only be a panacea for many chronic diseases, but also a great anti aging tool. The active ingredient in aspirin being able to increase maximum lifespan by approximately 400%. And that dosage was the equivalent to using less than 1 gram daily for a human. I do guitar lessons. I typically shoot for 10 to 15 minutes each night. I don't have a live guitar instructor. I bounce around between programs. Right now I'm using a program by Paul Jacobs. That's one way that I do analog brain training at night. Another thing I do is I memorize one verse from the Bible every single night. And I think there is something about whether it's the Bible or poetry or, you know, inspirational quotes or whatever else, there's something about memorizing from a book such as the Bible that helps to grow the brain and assist with memory retention, especially in the evening. And I like doing in the evening too, because then you're kind of like programming your brain to think about these positive verses that you've memorized as you're sleeping at night. I'm almost £200. To put that in context for you, When I finished racing Ironman triathlon, I was 169 pounds. At the beginning of this year, I was 180 pounds. Well, three months after being 182, I'm almost 200 pounds. A lot of people have asked me who I've shared that with. Well, what are you doing? That's new.
