Can you believe this? According to a recent news headline, computer programmers believe that supercomputers and artificial intelligence will help us figure out how to live 10 years longer (click here). Do we really need a supercomputer to tell us what we already know?
On the same day as the above news headline was another: This one featured an incredible story about a remote Amazon tribe that were found have the healthiest arteries ever studied, and it is all due to diet and lifestyle (click here). If you want to live 10 years longer, what you eat and how you live (i.e., diet and lifestyle) are what matter most. Seventh-day Adventists have long known this, and they didn’t need a supercomputer to figure it out (click here).
Computer programmers are ignorant when it comes to health and longevity. Here’s what they are overlooking when it comes to developing meaningful ways to improve health and longevity: It is a principle that is a constant and unchangeable pillar upon which all biology is based. That biological principle is survival. Survival dictates a hierarchy of life functions that might be considered philosophical, yet it is the only viewpoint that makes sense. Survival is the underlying reason for every biological action that defines life. In times when so much research being done searching for the best way to improve health and longevity, it’s crucial to examine the principle of survival. Our bodies operate in a manner that always makes biological sense.
Fortunately, the “secret” to living a long and healthy life does not require taking a ton of expensive vitamin supplements (with dubious safety and effectiveness), stem-cell therapy (often with over-hyped promises), or personal trainers (who often know nothing about exercise physiology). Furthermore, it is not dependent on being “lucky” enough to have good genetics or long telomeres. And it certainly doesn’t require a supercomputer! The biological mechanisms needed to transform your health and longevity are already within you. It’s knowing how to trigger these mechanisms that is the “secret” behind the physical transformation needed to live a long and healthy life (click here).
