每天服用约100粒补品,睡高压氧仓,这个硅谷男人扬言要活到180岁
从帝王将相到平民百姓,追求长寿可以说是所有人类的愿望,但是有人真的付之行动了……
今天故事的主人公是Dave Asprey, 45岁的他是硅谷一位年轻的科技企业家。
作为在硅谷上班的人,没有点奇思妙想都不好意思说自己在那里上班。
但是Asprey的想法,未免看起来有些异想天开:通过不断调整他的饮食和锻炼,以及尝试各种新技术来改善健康。
Asprey的小目标是……再活500年
500年太久,先活他个180
作为拥有谷歌第一台服务器的公司的联合创始人,他在二十五岁左右就是一位成功的企业家。虽然他的职业生涯起飞了,但因为患有慢性疲劳综合症,他的精神和注意力一直不佳。对此他的医生也无能为力。
于是他决定不再听医生了, 自己摸索,成为一个生物黑客。
His doctors couldn’t help and he decided that he needed to hack his energy and focus in the same way that they were hacking computer systems. He then proceeded to spend more than $1 million of his own money trying to hack his biology.
他的医生无能为力,所以他决定自己来破解自身的精力和注意力,就像黑客攻击计算机系统一样。然后,他开始花费超过100万美元的资金试图破解他的身体。

什么是生物黑客 呢?
简单来说就是“黑进自己的身体”,通过技术手段改造改自己的身体,从而近“神”。
比如说在指尖上植入一个芯片,让自己的手有吸附功能(注意了这不是魔术哦~)。
再多装几个是不是可以和老万一样吸潜艇了。
有老万,怎么能没有X教授呢?
有的生物黑客给自己装了个芯片将自己与妻子的神经系统相连。俩人随便想个啥,对方分分钟感同身受。
有的生物黑客为了让自己更有“男友力”在“哔——”的地方也装了一个芯片,提供持久动力。
接触到生物黑客之后,Dave Asprey都做了什么呢?
首先是减肥:
The first thing he did was try a low-carb diet he found in a bodybuilding magazine. He lost 50 pounds and learned that what he ate mattered more than how much he exercised.
他做的第一件事是尝试在健美杂志中建议的低碳水化合物饮食。他瘦了50磅,而且收获了一个真理,要减肥吃比运动更重要。

随着时间的推移和技术的进步,他的实验变得更加大(ke)胆(pa)。
比如没事抽个骨髓啥的:
In a recent interview with Men’s Health, Dave Asprey revealed that a surgeon had just extracted half a liter of bone marrow from his hips, filtered out the stem cells, and then injected them into his joints, spinal cord and into his cerebral fluid.
比如说从自己臀部里抽出半升骨髓,过滤掉干细胞,再注射到自己的关节,脊髓和脑液中。

He also had some of those stem cells injected into his scalp and face for cosmetic purposes.
他还将一些干细胞注入他的头皮和脸部,让自己看着更年轻。

但至于其效果如何,可能只有他自己知道了。
除了要减肥Dave Asprey还立下一个雄心壮志,就是要活他个180岁!
To reach his super-ambitious goal, the 45-year-old is taking around 100 supplements a day, has stem cells injected into his body every six months, follows a very specific diet, uses a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, sleeps in a bed bathed in infrared light, uses an atmospheric cell trainer that reproduces the effect of climbing to the top of Mount Everest and dropping back down to sea level in a matter of minutes, and even wears yellow-lens glasses that allegedly filter out “the bad light”.
为达到他雄心勃勃的目标,他每天服用约100粒补品,使用高压氧舱,沐浴在红外线下,模拟攀登珠峰的效果,并在几分钟内降回海平面,甚至戴着黄色镜片,据称可以过滤掉“坏光”。

然而,这样折腾自己也是有危险的。
One time, he slept surrounded by ice-packs to increase his resilience and woke up with first-degree burns over 15 percent of his body, and on another occasion he ended up with garbled speech for hours, after zapping himself with infrared light to see if it would help him learn faster.
有一次,他睡在被冰袋包围的地方,以增加身体弹性,醒来时他的身体受到15%的一度灼伤。而另一次,他用红外线照射自己后变得口齿不清。

这样真的可以延年益寿?活到180岁吗?
Dave Asprey声称他并不是在开玩笑,因为他说他的生活计划是人类平均寿命的两倍以上,为此他已经花费了大约100万美元用于各种小工具和健康产品。但他还有很长的路要走。
“I think of it as, I’m now 25 percent of the way to my minimum goal [of living to 180],” he told Men’s Health. “So I’m officially a young adult. Is living a long time a kind of superpower? Yes. Although I might die trying.”
“要活到180岁,我现在只达成了25%的目标(45岁),”他说。“所以我还是个年轻人。长寿是一种超能力吗?当然,虽然在尝试的过程中我可能会提前死去……“

那就祝他修仙成功吧!
