Disagree @elonmusk. Studies of identical twins show longevity is 80-90% epigenetic, meaning it can be changed by lifestyle, for the same reason a queen bee raised on royal jelly can live 10 times longer than a genetically identical worker 🐝

Replying to @paulg
Our lifespan is programmed into our genes, just like it is for fruit flies or pets. Fruit are already vegan & even if they do yoga every day & take every supplement, they still only live 50 days.

5 minutes in a sauna 4x/week reduces cardiovascular risk by 50%
Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added context
Finnish data often cited here looked at men taking 4-7 sauna sessions a week lasting ≈ 15-20 min. That group had ~50 % lower cardiovascular death than men with 1 session. Five-minute sessions weren’t studied, and the study shows association, not proof of cause. Source: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25705824/

Omega-3 plus vitamin D “slows biological aging by 3-4 months over 3 years, particularly when combined with exercise.” 👏

Lifting weights isn't vanity, it’s life insurance. Strength training cuts risks of all‑cause death by ~17%

Muscle mass predicts lifespan better than BMI or weight - so get moving and get lifting

Delighted to share with you our latest paper. Here, we test the hypothesis that aging may be driven by DNA damage-induced changes to the epigenome. Mightbe due to a glitch in the software of the body that causes it to malfunction, which can be fixed with a reboot?👇 1/

New paper provides evidence that black holes are the origin of dark energy & the expansion of the universe. Yeah, that’s a big deal

I came on an H1B “specialty occupation” visa and there’s no way I could have afforded a $100K fee. The US has just made it virtually impossible for people like me to come here

Trump just killed the H1B visa. Companies now have to pay $100K per year to bring foreign hi-skilled workers to the U.S. This will dissuade them from doing so, some jobs will be offshored. For Indian techies, the American dream just got killed.
