The Secret to Living a Long Healthy Life

Things are going to kill you. They'll keep you from becoming an anti aging guru. One of them is Alzheimer's disease. If Alzheimer's doesn't get you, what's going to get you? Cardiovascular disease. And if that doesn't get you cancer. And the thing that underlies all three of those conditions, that is rampant, is diabetes, type 2 diabetes. We've got to break this idea that when you're old, you're useless. Sounds rough to say that you probably have this picture right now that there's tubes, there's monitors, there's wheelchairs, and you don't know your name. And you spend the last 20 years of your life in slow decline, suffering and spending all of your money and then basically dying in a hospital. That's actually not what has happened throughout all of history. Until very recently. What used to happen was the village elder, like, you become old and wise and venerated and you share your life's experience with the younger generation, at least those of them who are smart enough to listen, because it saves them all of the suffering. Human progress happens because we pass things on from the last generation to the new generation. So to be able to do stuff like that, you got to first not die.
