Supplements

https://nutritionfacts.org/2011/09/12/dr-gregers-2011-optimum-nutrition-recommendations/

  1. Algae oil (250mg+)

  3. Vitamin D (and/or go in the sun 30+ mins)

  4. Calcium

  5. Iodine supplements (or seaweed)

Nutritional Heuristics

  1. Plant sources over animal sources
  2. Slightly Cooked (microwaved, raw, lightly steamed) over heavily cooked
  3. Apply the 80-20 rule to diet, try to eat the big winners first
  4. Remove temptation items instead of resisting them
  5. Moderation–if you’re too strict you will just relapse
  6. Expensive and/or complicated health solutions should be viewed with skepticism, where is the scientific evidence to support it? Is it more effective than the less expensive version–if so, how much more effective?
  7. Doctor’s are just people, they make mistakes too–be an advocate for your own health and ask them informed and well researched questions
  8. Scientific evidence over subjective experience

Longevity

Below the fold, can you extend your life much further? The above are behavioral factors mostly, the path forward is to drastically increase our healthspan–I say healthspan because increasing lifespan only does not seem like a good use of resources.

Shamelessly copied from here: https://fastlifehacks.com/david-sinclair-supplements/

  1. Hot and cold triggers hormonal responses. I prefer cold b.c it increases the amount of brown fat you have + Other things. The temperature differential being large helps along with things just being cold. The book goes over this more. The general principle is stressing the body under controlled conditions produces huge postive results. hardcore person who does this to the extreme is Wim Hof

  2. Fasting during the night. So eating early mornings and not at night. Only liquids like water and tea.

  3. Hormesis effect: some stress on the system, not too much, will increase longevity
