Some really interesting posts here.

As a 31 year old, I’m starting to think about how I can best slow the aging process.

I’m taking fish oil, zinc, magnesium, vit D and arginine.

My diet is pretty solid. I get all my food from Whole Foods.

I juice a few times a week.

Regularly workout.

Wear sun cream.

Anything I’m missing?

That`s a pretty good supplement program! I would rather go with a 100 percent whey supplement (in conjunction with exercise) though. Why do only arginine? Also keep it pulsative, like in some type of intermittent fasting program. That goes for eating in general, but particularly protein.

Whole Foods are great, but what foods do you buy? If it`s mainly meats, fish, organ meats, nutrient dense veg, tart fruits and some nuts, seeds, herbs and spices...then you`re doing wonderfully. Almost no need to supplement in that case. You could also do krill oil instead of fish oil. It`s better I think. And perhaps eat organ meats and things like brazil nuts instead of zinc supplements. Personally I don`t wear sunscreen, but then again I don`t do sunbathing either. It`s getting burnt that causes inflammation>mutations>cancer. Moderate sun exposure will increase vitamin D levels as we all know, and vit. D has anti-inflammatory and telomere lengthening properties. (No point in taking vit. D in summer.) Coffee also accelerates skin ageing btw. It might have some benefits, but I think it`s a net negative. You`re only as healthy as your weakest link/organ after all. Better to do green/black tea in moderation.

I'm honestly not going to hold my breath for some high-priced anti-aging cure. I'd rather stick to eating fruits like watermelon, honeydew, grapes and drinking plenty of 100% juice at the store. It also helps that I don't drink alcohol, and try to lead as much of an active lifestyle as possible.

I second not drinking alcohol. Haven`t had a drop since 2007 myself. This alone puts you way ahead of the curve when it comes to avoiding chronic disease. But eating a lot of fruit, and especially fruit juices...not a great idea. Fructose really accelerates the process of glycation, and the formation of AGES. One of the main causes of ageing and disease in general. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9732303

Better to stick with berries and low to medium starchy carbs like sweet potato, squash, pumpkins. And of course all high fiber or high fat veg and fruits. (Avocado, olives, green leaves etc.)

All technology starts off expensive, then becomes more affordable. But you need rich people to buy in first. Take air travel for example. It was once vey glamorous, and only for the rich. Had they not been willing to pay to fly on planes in the first place, the industry would never have taken off. (pun intended) The same is true for basically all things we take for granted today.

The poor are dying today while the richer part of the world are healthier/living longer. Although we now chose to be unhealthy via our dietary choices, which is really shameful when you think of it. We could almost all be super healthy in the West, and it`s not even expensive to eat healthy. In fact if you factor in the eventual medical costs (diabetes care, heart transplants etc.) it`s very cheap in comparison. But people need their crap to get the dopamine high and so on. If you have good infrastructure, sanitation, clean water and healthy foods available, being healthy is only a question of not getting stuck in the addictive pattern of sugar, grain, alcohol, caffeine, drugs etc. consumption. Also I have to mention that the poor are poor mostly due to race differences. I do think we should help them out though, but the fertility rates must come down in for example Africa. There are just to many people on the planet as is, and it`s totally unsustainable to continue this development. Sorry for the rant.

PS; There`s a huge difference between living forever, and staying young for a good while, say a couple hundred years or so. What...are you gonna live for billions of years? tens of billions? That idea sounds a bit crazy to me.

Extremely interesting update from Bill Andrews on the progress of the Libella clinical study. There was some new safety concerns associated with the viral vector, not the gene delivered, that now seems to be solved. (Although there is still some risk involved in these treatments as of yet.)

Anyway, first patient, 72 yo man with terminal Alzheimer`s diagnosis is scheduled for treatment on the 12/10/2018! I`m very excited about this since I really believe it will work. And by work I mean age reversal, not "just" curing Alzheimer`s disease. So it will be this year that it started at least, (technically speaking) as I wrote in the OP. Of course there are still a few things that could go wrong here. But if it works, it will change the world.
