My Longevity Experiment


My Longevity Experiment charts my progress as I focus on the pillars of longevity (exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress and targeted supplementation). Data such as weight, waist circumference, BMI, BMR, body fat percentage, blood tests, biological age tests etc. will all be recorded and shared. I will also comment on subjective elements such as my overall energy, temperament, recovery form injury etc.


It’s not a midlife crisis and I am not looking for the fountain of youth, I don’t want to live forever, we are all getting older, and we are all going to die; this experiment may not extend my lifespan, but research has shown that it should improve my quality of life and extend my healthspan.


I was once asked if I could choose how I was going to die, what would I choose? To which I said, ‘knocked of my mountain bike at the age of 93.'

However, over a period of a few months I tried wearing them on and off and made sure that all lights were out before I went to bed and only had the red lights on if I had to go to the toilet during the night.They made absolutely no difference to my overall sleep, but more importantly to my deep sleep. This may be different for you, Dave Asprey or Andy Mant, but for me ZERO effect!So, they are now in the cupboard of broken dreams.Eye ...

However, for those aged 65 years and older, muscle decline can become much more rapid, with an average loss of 1% muscle mass per year.More importantly, sarcopenia is also marked by a decrease in strength, impaired gait, reduced physical activity and difficulty completing simple everyday tasks such walking, sitting down and standing up unaided. The Future The proportion of older adults aged 65+ is projected to more than double by the year 2060, this is driving research into the process of musculoskeletal decline.Researchers at Colorado State University's Columbine Health Systems Center for Healthy Aging believe they have found an animal model that will help them better understand it and find ways to limit the symptoms.The study, published in Frontiers in Physiology: Striated Muscle in October, is an example of using comparative medicine to understand human diseases and conditions.   Animal ModelsScientists often rely on animal models to mimic disease progression and study the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions.However, until now, no animal model has been able to fully capture all aspects of human musculoskeletal aging.Karyn Hamilton Karyn Hamilton, a professor in the Colorado State University's Department of Health and Exercise Science, and associate director at the Center for Healthy Aging said "Existing pre-clinical models either rely on unloading the muscle, meaning mimicking bedrest in an animal, or they must wait until the animals get really, really old, and even then they don't really get the same muscle aging phenotype as people do."Dunkin Hartley Guinea PigIn their work, Hamiliton's team found that the Dunkin Hartley guinea pig was a good candidate for a muscle aging model due to the animal's tendency to develop osteoarthritis at a young age.The two conditions, osteoarthritis and sarcopenia, seem to be linked in humans; with advancing age, skeletal muscle dysfunction increases the risk for osteoarthritis, and osteoarthritis increases the risk for further muscle decline.Hamilton’s teamHamilton teamed up with Dr. Kelly Santangelo—an associate professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology at CSU, who has been studying primary osteoarthritis in Hartley guinea pigs for many years, also Associate Professor Raoul Reiser, also in Department of Health and Exercise Science, to understand how skeletal muscle changes as osteoarthritis progresses in guinea pigs.The team hypothesized that those muscle changes may mimic human musculoskeletal aging. Classic signsMuscle composition also changes with age: fast-twitch fibers, which are larger and capable of exerting stronger forces, decrease in number, and slow-twitch fibers, which are smaller and less metabolically efficient, tend to increase.Generally, when people "lose muscle mass," it's the large, fast-twitch fibers that are affected, also with decreasing muscle mass tends to come an ...
