    This guy is gonna do all this work, making his life bereft of meaning or experiences in exchange for longevity, so that he can maybe make it to 110 or something and die

    And that’s assuming he actually does LENGTHEN his life with all this nonsense, and that he doesn’t end up making himself super vulnerable to something and die much earlier

      The only thing that has any backing that extends life is staying moderately fit and active. Having a reason to get up in the morning and move your body is basically the entirety of the secret.

      Of course in a grand irony for this dude, giving blood is basically the best and only way to lower your body’s microplastic and heavy metal accumulation, which might possibly have an effect on your health in old age. Taking blood doesn’t do shit.
