David Sinclair | Why We Age and Why We Don't Have To | Talks at Google

David Sinclair, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, discusses his new book "Lifespan", which distills his cutting-edge research findings on the biological processes underpinning aging. Sinclair describes lifestyle hacks we can undertake now to combat aging, as well as future scientific breakthroughs that promise to slow down-and even reverse-the aging process.

I’ve watched many lectures. The common message is fast regularly, walk often, have good friendships, and avoid simple carbs.

[@nelgstuart3442]

Excellent Greg!! That boils it down to a usable life style without being confused with so many messages, and messengers.

[@SchgurmTewehr]

Avoid carbs is bullshit. The biggest example is that the longest living people on earth (living in the blue zones) eat many carbs. We have to distinguish between Refined sugar (which you should definitely avoid) and complex carbohydrates, that the body needs to digest, these carbs have low glycemic index. Many healthy foods like whole grains, legumes, fruits, and even vegetables have a big amount carbs, and to avoid carbs, we would have to avoid those foods, and essentially avoid important nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytochemicals. I highly recommend a video called: „Deconstructing the Paleo Diet“, that talk touches on the carb myth.

Interesting the comment on fasting. When I was a child I had quite severe asthma and eczema. The nail on my left hand index finger was buckled with a cakey something underneath it. My sister used to tease me... I'd never get married with those hands... lol.. kids. At age 11 I decided to fast once a week. Missed breakfast and lunch, just took a thermos with hot water with lemon and honey in it to school every Monday. Had a cabbage and carrot salad with a light lemon and oil dressing and then cooked non starchy vegetables around 4pm when I got home from school. By the end of the year I had no asthma or eczema and my fingernail had grown normal like the others.

[@7296180]

Hi David, just want to let you know I have followed your videos for the past few years. When I looked back during my prime years (~ 30 yrs old), my work schedule was irregular, therefore, I only ate a maximum twice per day, sometimes even once per day. On top of that, I was an avid racket sports enthusiast. Played sports every other day, (quite intensive), and never stopped. Now, I am 50 yrs old, and still continue to play badminton (extremely intensive - advanced/pro level) every other day consistently, and only eat a maximum twice per day, most of the time eat once per day, with light snacks. All my friends and new people I met, still thinks I look around 30 yrs old. It seems like my aging halted considerably ever since I started eating less meals, and got into intensive sport when I was 30 yrs old. When I see some of my friends that are the same age as I am now, they all starting to have grey hair, and wrinkle skin, early stage conditions (weight gain, diabetes, high blood, cholesterol, etc.). Ironically, I weighed around 130 lbs when I was 30 yrs old, but now my weight has been averaging 120 lbs for the last 20 years, with an average BMI of 20.5. I notice it's a bit weird when my surroundings are aging much faster than I am. Therefore, when I saw your videos, I noticed there is a similar pattern that I have been on the right track for the last few decades.

[@WyattMullin]

What NMN are you taking? Looking at amazon but not sure about them.

[@V.Z.69]

The most beneficial of the whole talk: hunger. Fasting for 2 and 3 days in a row is not bad. Your body is forced to kill old cells and create new cells. This is fact. I practice fasting 1, 2, 3 days of fasting and only drink water at least once a week. At least once a week. A regular week I will fast 3 time at one fast-whole-day per fast. Other times I will fast 2 days in a row in that week up to 3 days. I've fasted up to 6 days, but it's very difficult only because of habits, not really from hunger, but the habit of reaching for that thing I love to eat. Cutting sugar is the MOST difficult for me. I can say that I have not had milk in about 10 years. I stopped drinking soda years ago, diet soda about 4 years now ( I fell for that diet food/drink trick which is lethal on the body's health ). I have only stopped eating meat about a year now. And besides sugar, cheese if also a hard habit to break. Sugar and cheese, my problem areas. Eating for fun and taste is the basis of all get-together's, all things fun, involves stuffing the face full of horrible chemically treated dead-food sold as "edible food".

[@daivabaniene3815]

Hello! It feels that you are describing me! 😊After reading the book Paul C. Bragg "The miracle of fasting", I was 19 at that time, but I was so impressed that I have made a decision to give it a try and to see how it actually works in reality. I started with 3 days fasting (that was a mistake, because I never done that in my life...) , I thought that I will faint a couple times, but I survived and then I tryed slowly to come back to the regular eating, it was really hard not to overeat. It's really a challenge. Right now I am 48 and I have decided to do a regular 36 hours fasting once a week and I feel great! I have so much energy and I don't feel hungry at all. Going for 3 days fasting the next week, will see how is going to work. The hardest part is the cold when your metabolism is slowing down. I am trying to be more active then, to walk more, I wish that I could work out, but it's not good while you are fasting. I can't do only with the water for the same reason, so I take a tea, green tea is good especially if you have headaches while fasting, but water is essential. I drink min 2 liters per day anyways, so while fasting is even more. Yes, cutting sugar is the hardest part, I don't use any white sugar while ago, but a honey or maple syrup is still on my list, otherwise I have no energy, my blood pressure becomes much lower while fasting, otherwise it's perfect. I don't use any coffee for 3 years now, it was hard, because it's usual to drink so much coffee at work here is Sweden and it's very strong coffee. It took around six month until I could walk away from a coffee shop without just enjoying the smell like an ex smoker who enjoys another person smoking beside. Now coffee beans smells horrible to me, like something burned and unpleasant. Cheese was another challenge of mine, before I got lactose intolerant 4 years ago I use to eat it every single day, maybe that's why... 🤔 I don't see another reason, once my body just said: okay, honey, enough is enough, your cheese intake in this life is just finished... 🙄😏 Otherwise I am quite good with my diet, trying to eat as much organic fruits and vegetables as I can. Beans and lentils are good meat replacement. I still need some fish (mostly wild salmon or herring ) as a protein and vit D provider, but meat intake I have limited very much lately, I still enjoy some turkey breast sometimes, but like only once a week or less often. I hope I am on a good path. I workout regularly for 10 years now, I love to move all the time. I think that I will be fine, I got good genes as well, my mom is 73, she still don't need glasses just while she is writing something, almost no grey hair whatsoever, amazing memory (I wish I would have that!) she is growing her own natural food in the village, moving a lot, excercising every day. My dad died a few years ago, but he also had a terrible diet, nobody could change his habits, not even my mom, may rest he in piece. 😟 I am trying my best here, I never smoked, never used any alcohol in my life, the last and most difficult one is to cut completely a drug called SUGAR. The longest time I survived without any sugar whatsoever was for 6 weeks... 😏 It was a hell, just because my daughter likes to bake sweets. 🍰🍮🍪 I felt much better though, it's nothing to compare, it really takes a lot of power of will, as an addiction is 10 times stronger than to cocain... 😒 If I can do it, so do you! Good luck and stay healthy people! 🍀

Dear Professor Sinclair, dear scientist and esteemed man! Although your concept of fasting, which is not new, but has been here at least for two thousand years, is trustworthy, you never mention how to manage craving for food. How can I fast if my appetite craves for delicious meals and takes over mind?

[@Romerro1]

Awesome Talk. I love the idea of being able to reset an individual's physical body back to an operation of the previous 10 years. I've thought about this concept myself over the years and have tried to implement a solution via Low carb eating, raw vegetables, no sugar, daily low impact exercise, B vitamins, hydration and other supplements (natural & synthetic). I have always dreamed about telomere extension since I thought that was the primary solution to extending life but now after this talk and previous ones I've seen and heard from David Sinclair, I now see that there's far more going on in our cells that will lead to healthy longevity. I'll continue to follow his research so I can continue to have a good understanding of these exciting discoveries.

[@irumkhan3381]

[@andrewmays3988]

The real problem with all of this research into the biochemistry of aging is that we are living in a world grossly contaminated with thousands of chemicals known to be harmful to human beings. With the dumping of human trash in the oceans and burying it in the ground, this toxic chemical contamination problem will only increase exponentially as the world population increases. Ask yourself this question: What happened to all the nuclear fallout that resulted from above ground nuclear testing on this planet from 1945 to 1963??😇

[@sdickinson5234]

When I talk about this kind of thing to friends, many say "well I wouldn't want to live forever", or "I don't want to live 500 years". My answer is simple, do you want to live until next week? Do you want to see the next walking dead episode or whatever? And they all say yes. So I explain whether it's now or 100, 500, 1000 years from now, it's always just living until tomorrow or next week.

[@Elayman1]

But is that going to result in a more meaningful life for the average person ? Even if people had all the time in the world, they will never be able to do all the things they wanted to do, and even if they do it again and again is that going to result in a similar experience to the first time ? I don't think so. At some point the law of diminishing returns is going to kick in and you are going to end up with people looking to suicide to relieve themselves of unending boredom.

It's difficult to evaluate something with no visible consequences, but the research points to a positive outcome. It's probably best to utilize while you're under physical duress. This product has met my expectations in that it has made me feel more energetic in the morning and throughout the day since I started using it. I'll keep taking Vitruvin Health Anti-aging supplement since it keeps me energetic throughout the day.

[@shelly5596]

I'll be turning 50 this May. I quit sleeping well several years ago and I believe that not sleeping properly 0-4 hours nightly has amped up my aging process. I have had very little energy for 7-8 years now When I find enough energy to exercise, it takes several days to revover and if I get my heart rates up to high, it takes awhile to come back down to normal. I have yet to found the key to my poor sleep, but I would do just about anything to find the key to unlock that pathway.

For very different reasons, NAD+ has also attracted a wave of attention from cancer researchers. Recent studies suggest that cancer cells of many types depend on NAD+ to sustain their rapid growth and that cutting off the NAD+ supply could be an effective strategy for killing certain cancers. The data from these studies paint a more complicated picture of NAD+ and raise new questions about the diverse ways taking an NAD+-boosting supplement might influence health. “It might still slow down the aging part, but it might fuel the cancer part,” says Versha Banerji, a clinician-scientist at the University of Manitoba. “We just need to figure out more about the biology of both of those processes, to figure out how we can make people age well and also not get cancer.” This is just a fellow up to my previous post. Interesting that most sites are ignoring the possibilities of its effects on cancer.

beautiful lecture about aging. I must said that our brain must keep to tiptop condition and train our muscle and body in the tip top condition to survive happy ending of our life.
