I decided to start of the month with a very slow 5-kilometer run, managing 40 minutes with no cost implications. It was my fitness fix to age well. That did not cost much compared to Bryan Johnson, a Multi-millionaire, who is spending over $2 million in an attempt to de-age himself.
The 45-year-old hired a team of 30 medical professionals to help him, have the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, tendons, teeth, skin, hair, bladder, penis, and rectum of an 18-year-old.
The team has focused on the unsurprising: developing a diet and exercise regimen. If you eat and drink right and get regular exercise you will improve your overall fitness, probably more so when you’ve spent large sums on a team to help you stick to it.
Johnson eats 1,977-calorie vegan diet daily, follows and exercise routine and a sleep schedule. He also takes a number of medicines and supplements. Basically, he monitors everything from his bowels and his body fat to his nocturnal erections and makes adjustments to his regimen and medication after viewing the data.
He claims to have seen good results, improving measures such as his blood pressure and lung capacity.
“My new endeavor, Project Blueprint, aims to measure all 70+ organs of my body and then maximally reverse the quantified biological age of each,” he writes on his website. “We have measured over 15 organs and I’ve scored 507 age reversal points. My chronological age is 44, measured biological age is 36.”
His dad also incorporated the dietary protocol with exactitude “and lost 25lbs in three months. He feels as spry as I ever remember him being.”
While it’s good that he’s getting some returns on his $2 million, so far there’s nothing really out of the ordinary going on. For better or worse, he’s very much dedicating his body to science in the hopes of proving what’s possible for the rest of us.
- We have known that diet, exercise and aging are linked for a long time, so it’s no real surprise that living healthily made Johnson fitter, and equivalent to a younger man.
- So far, it seems like he’s paid for a gym routine and a diet, rather than the brain, heart, lungs, penis, and rectum of an 18-year-old.
