We are living longer, and can do so while maintaining our mental sharpness and a reasonable amount of our vigor. Dr. David Sinclair has been around quite a while now, explaining the science behind his studies into longevity. I think the things he has learned are worth considering. As with anything, I trust you to use common sense to judge whether you think the claims Dr. Sinclair makes are valid.
I'm posting this as an intro to his ideas and will discuss them a bit in a different post. I have been waiting to record a conversation about this with my friend, but alas, my friend has a lot of other things going on that take priority. So, I am going to start posting solo and hope that she will be able to join in at a future time.
This link is to one of Dr. Sinclair's podcasts. He has moved to an interview format, which I think is far better than the earlier recordings of his lectures in poorly lit rooms and meeting halls.
Please let me know what you think of his ideas/findings.
