My favorite thing about the whole myth about people in southern Italy regularly living to be over 100 is that it’s actually just pension fraud.

for all the hate the guy gets, I do appreciate that he’s at least taking a science-based approach and publishes what works/doesn’t. The core building blocks he continually pushes people follow are the basics we all know: good sleep, food and exercise. Outside of this he’s tested various protocols and only continues them if the biomarkers he’s tracking show some kind of improvement. He’s even published basic meals (Super Veggie) that anyone can make to ensure they’re eating healthy and getting the most bang for their buck (nutrient to caloric content ratio).

Certain grifters are advertising taking essential amino acids supplements instead of protein. Presumably his team concluded that there’s no upside to taking essential amino acids supplements when he gets enough protein.

It actually is! I tried it for a while and noticed its impact on reducing my hunger, reduced swelling (I could tell because the rings on my fingers were no longer “tight"), and its easy to make so there’s no excuse not to eat healthy.

hes like peter thiel who tried to extend his life. He looks awful despite having some “skin enhancement treatments”.
He boasted how he defeated a lawsuit from a former GF(taryn sounthern) claiming he ruined her chances of a career by convincing her to give it up to work for her, and when she breast cancer, he dumped her because it was making him look bad, aka thinking about mortality.

Sure he might outlive us, but honestly what’s the fucking point? At this point for him he’s basically just existing. Is he happy? Is he getting any enjoyment out of life? Because it sure doesn’t seem like it

He’s selling products by doing this, so there’s that.

Hyperbaric treatment is dangerous, and I haven’t even seen a pseudo-scientific (fake science) reason for doing it if like you don’t have mountain sickness or some other "bizarre’ acute problem with what’s in your blood.
Atropos@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s also very beneficial to prevent limb loss from trauma that reduces blood flow. Makes a huge difference in the first couple of days to keep the tissue alive.
CptOblivius@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Our bodies have multiple enzymes and antioxidants to keep oxygen from slowly killing us. And this guy wants to concentrate it. Hyperbaric has its uses, making a normal person live longer is not one of them.

I get these stories as a way of pointing out the inherant absurditity in a lot of every day things…
…but also… life requires energy. Something’s gotta keep the metabolism going. Oxygen is both highly reactive and significantly more abundant than any of its heavier counterparts further down the column. If there is life out there with a metabolic rate anywhere approaching our own, it would be weird if it didn’t use oxygen.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It was a complicated time when life switched to oxygen. We still have life without oxygen btw (mostly in the depths). But those damn plants fucked up a good life for everyone back then.

Listened to a tale of a kid with adhd thrown into one of these and the moron doctors didn’t follow proper safety. Apparently it’s not just a fire, it’s like a goddamn plasma burn. No way on hell do you survive. Better to let a person burn quickly rather than attempt rescue.

Or die by decompression if the chamber cracks.
MrEff@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
Those chambers are normally only done around 2 or 2.5 atmosphere, 3 tops. Not enough to kill anyone if it cracked. A small pop and rushing sound at most depending on the crack size.

You just know he’s going to have some hilariously ironic death like the Segway scooter guy. It’s like learning about the guy who claimed God couldn’t sink the Titanic and deciding, “I’m going to do that! Every day!”
Denjin@feddit.uk 1 day ago
The segway guy is actually a pretty sad story. James Haselden was a genuinely good guy, founder of a company making a type of portable and collapsible barrier, originally intended to shore up canals and rivers but ended up solving a variety of problems around the world.
He kept manufacturing local to his childhood home, paying significantly above the average to his staff, created jobs and opportunities for many people in a relatively impoverished community.
Gave many many millions of pounds to charities and good causes.
He bought the segway company, intending on reviving what had become a failing business and died a pretty tragic and stupid death and now all anyone thinks of him is “haha how ironic”.
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Even in death he keeps on giving.
slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 1 day ago
I bet he dies becuase there is some old in the lines or fittings and he’s breathing nothing but moldy air all day long.
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Or because now his body just thinks it doesn’t need to protect him from airborne diseases and shuts that part down.
I mean heat shock proteins exist. A little grit is needed in life to keep the immune system on its toes.

Oxygen is so bad for you, too. It literally damages cells. I don’t mean this ironically or anything else. It is physically bad for you to breathe pure oxygen.
BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 day ago
Oxygen is corrosive as fuck. That’s why people are so obsessed with anti-oxidants. It’s important to cellular respiration because it is do damn volatile, but our bodies have to do a lot to keep it contained and safe.

KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
Wasn’t Apollo I destroyed when a spark caused an explosion on the launchpad due to pressurising the cabin with pure oxygen?
Mirshe@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
No, it was because of shoddy wiring causing a fire inside the capsule in an area that couldn’t be accessed easily or extinguished from the outside. The egress sequence was also very time consuming (somewhere like 90 seconds). Apollo I also was just a training module, it never got launched.
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
Maybe, but that’s neither here nor there. We can’t draw that correlation to effects of oxygen on the body via respiration.
