Do you eat a Mediterranean diet with little to no sugar, and avoid alcohol? No fast food, no soda, no fried food, no ultra-processed foods, red meat okay once in a while, eat fish 1-2 times a week. no deli meat. Do you drink coffee and matcha daily, consume 85%+ dark chocolate, and eat walnuts daily (study showed walnut consumption extends lifespan by 1 year)?

Anything I'm missing?

The mediteratian "diet" is pretty much just a keto agricultural diet
>>
Intermittent fasting/caloric restriction also extends life. Mice who eat less calories overall live longer.
>>
>>16785092
>extends lifespan by 1 year
You are an idiot. Instead of looking to extend your life LIVE your life. Eat healthy and exercise to increase your mental and organs performance.
>>
>>16785100
If I extend my lifespan enough then my death will be more comfortable. I greatly fear death, but if you extend your lifespan enough for science to make advances then death will be more comfortable with better painkillers, deathbed VR simulations to put you into so you don't feel death at all, cures for heart disease, stroke, and cancer, etc.
>>
>>16785092
Empirically speaking, if you live under a system where you can use phrases like "science-backed" without making everyone around them cringe, you're 99% dying from cancer/heart attack/stroke before you even hit 70.

No.
This stufy you think you are referencing is just bad.
the actual conclusion is that lab chow is just so bad that eating less of it is better for them

Exercise everyday, eat healthy and read the stoics (i.e. Epicurus and Seneca ,especially the latter)
>>
>>16785092
Nah, this diet is far too mainstream. >>16785098 causes blood sugar skill issues.

I do this deranged China diet shit instead: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38305939/

I also eat a whole of fruits Bryan Johnson never heard of.
>>
>>16785115
>causes blood sugar skill issues.
I have read some paper on Pubmed fasting increases insulin sensitivity.
>>
>>16785117
Yeah, I'm talkin' hypoglycemia when you get too intense with it.
>t. starts to get a little light-headed at around 16 hours fasting, ain't trying to pull a Swedish health minister
>>
>>16785092
>avoid alcohol
>drink matcha
this is not a mediterranean diet
>>
>>16785143
>>16785117
There was also a major study showing a connection between fasting and heart disease, one reason to not be so adamant about it:

https://newsroom.heart.org/news/8-hour-time-restricted-eating-linked-to-a-91-higher-risk-of-cardiovascular-death

But then there's studies saying fasting is cardioprotective, so go figure...

>>16785113
Epicurus was vegetarian. Seneca was as well, but abandoned it publicly as it became associated with politics (a lot like vegans today). The Buddha in Mahayana schools (think Zen and Tibetan Buddhism) advocated vegetarianism. The Mediterranean diet is largely plant based as well and has better health outcomes than your average balanced diet. Guess we should follow the example of the ancients.
>>
>>16785092
It’s not necessary to avoid alcohol, in fact some kinds of alcohol like red wine or hopped beer are even encouraged. Fried food is fine as well, any unhealthy fried food are already covered under the no fast food rule (in fact it is actually allowed once in a while like red meat). Certain kinds of green tea might be healthier than coffee, but studies are inconclusive. Watch the kinds of fish you eat - many predatory fish bioaccumulate mercury.

Yeah: Mediterranean isn't necessary.
Only vegan is.
Stop trying to promote your part of the world.

Reading the methodology section, not just the results and conclusion sections?
>>
>>16785092
you are on track, but aging is mainly genetic so optimizing biomarkers like LDL and A1C are more inclined to make an overall holistic difference to death rate along with bmi optimization than diet alone. getting essential nutrients happens when you eat shit anyway like burgers and milkshakes. overall just eat the food pyramid and optimize bmi, if you have hyperlipidemia get that sorted with your doctor or clinician nigga
>>
>>16785934
Almost all claims made about LDL are provable bullshit.
Triglycerides and A1C are what matter
>>
>>16785934
almost all the claims of "genetics" these days are just a failure to research specific protein druggability deeply enough.
>t. pharmacologically regulates a really lot of proteins this board probably thinks are un-druggable
>>
>>16785940
Triglycerides matter but you must be one of those trig HDL ratio troglodytes lmao HDL has no bearing on CVD if it did then HDL raising medication would regress plaque but guess what retard it doesn’t
>>
>>16785940
>>16785993
Apo-B is the new better measurement. But yea it's kinda fucked, you need to eat low sugar and low fat.
>>
>>16785994
Lmfao apo-ab or what you retards love to latch onto correlates .98 with normal LDL so it’s a meaningless marker. Do you actually know anything in cardiology or you just blab on bullshit you watch from YouTube videos lmao
>>
>>16786022
If Apo-B correlates so closely with LDL, it's essentially the same marker and about equally as useful.
>>
My body produces less DAO which explains why I can't eat legumes, which normally make up a big part of the mediterranean diet.
I use other slow carbs instead, but I probably eat more chicken than the average person.
>>
>>16786064
lmfao
if it correlates NEAR linearly it means its as useful and as meaningless because LDL is what apob is measuring after all nigger holy shit you are retarded go read a book on the lipid hypothesis and read about the all rice diet at duke study lmfaooooooo noob nigger go eat a booger too
>>
>>16786066
the only dao i know is decentralized autonomous organizations nigga
>>
Threw this together in chatGPT to compare the amount of sugar in fruits to the amount of sugar in dark chocolate percentages. 85% is still quite high, 90% dark is more ideal.
>>
>>16786107
lmao
what a poo
from now on any chatgpt produced content or "research" is labeled as poofag shit ok? as the anti memer i know when a wanna be smart person is being a poofag. fruit sugar is healthy it doesnt trigger cravings like refined sugar so comparing them is pointless also fruit has vitamin c and filtered water nigga
>>
>>16785100
You aren’t saying anything of value you just moved the juxtaposition of the argument to make it seem like you’re saying some really deep shit but when in reality you’re one stupid mother fucker poo
>>
>>16785113
Lmao
>the latter
Fuck off fake intellect poo


Vegetarianism is retarded you can’t get enough creatine to retain muscle mass or build muscle so the meme people are buying into that muscle is a longevity organ because it’s assumed at age 70+ you’ll just let it atrophy slowly causing decay in a pretty way rather than breaking your shit
I bet your FFMI is 15
Anyway fuck off poojeet you don’t know jack delly shit
>>
>>16786107
>in chatgpt
i can tell.
thank you for giving me insight into what horrors to expect to deal with in the next 5 years.

but go with 99+%, better taste.
>>
>>16786097
LDL is a relevant measurement

>Anything I'm missing?
yes, the Mediterranean diet is full of animal foods like red meat and some of it is consumed raw/fermented
you will not live long by eating veganslop and drinking coffee (poison), you can cope and seethe and shit and piss but I'm right and you're wrong, enjoy your reduced lifespan on your shitty nwo diet
>>
>>16786317
The only relevant LDL based figure is a measure of the amount damaged particles in that electrophoresis fraction whatever names they go by, small dense sdLDL, oxidised LDL, glycatedLDL whatever.
The LDL fraction contains molecules highly active in immune response so if you are exposed to mould it will go up.
