3.8.16 Living Forever

My mother told me the story of Bryan Johnson.

Bryan Johnson is a man who wants to help people live longer, healthier lives. He thinks that if we take really good care of our bodies, we can  live longer than ever before! Bryan is interested in how exercises and healthy food can help.

Every day, Bryan wakes up very early. He eats special foods, exercises a lot, and goes to sleep early. He also works with a team of scientists who help him find out the best ways to be healthy. Together, they study things like how our bodies change as we get older and how we can protect our body, to keep them strong.

Bryan even uses machines to check how well his body is doing. This helps him learn what he can do better. One of his big ideas is that if we all take small steps each day to be healthier, we can live longer, happier lives. He hopes that one day, everyone will have the tools to make their lives last a little longer and feel great while doing it!

Then my father added his thoughts to the story.

Not everything is as great as it seems. This guy is very rich, with billions of dollars in the bank. He wants to be biologically 18 once he turns 50. He has 30 doctors and scientists to look after him and make him younger every day. It is not a problem though. The problem starts when he wants to sell his pills and food to us for thousands of dollars. He says if we eat and exercise the way he does, we can also be younger every day. But do you think that’s true, or only another way to make a rich guy even richer?
