Default Re: Live Long Enough to Live Forever (x-post)

I've read the book already, and I am partially following his recomendations.

I still eat lots of high-gl carbs like rice and spaghetti (but far less than before)

I eat MUCH more salads and green foods.

I'm not doing the "agressive suplementation" (i take no pills whatsoever) the book recomends (plan on taking some in the future)


I can say that my heath has improved a lot, and also that I believe science will be able to eventualy grant us imortality (from old age.. there will always be accidental-type deaths we will die from)

Although I think maybe his forecast was a bit to soon (he says in 20 years we will see some stuff showing up), I think it's more like 60 years. Good thing we are young and will live to see the day (the title of the book is talking to people who are currently 45yrs++) and I think maybe mr. Kurtzweil knew this when writing, but exagerated his claims to give old people hope (his core customer, cause young people usually dont care much about aging, death, etc)
