Falando em vida saudável

- Essa matéria da Wired fala de um cientista americano, Ray Kurzweil, que, supostamente, conseguiu desenvolver um modelo de maximização da saúde e pretende viver até que a tecnologia consiga desenvolver a imortalidade. Ele afirma que conseguiu controlar uma diabetes tipos 2, que tem desde os 30 e poucos anos, só com uma dieta radical que praticamente aboliu a gordura da alimentação e que não toma insulina.

In his latest book, Kurzweil defines what he calls his three bridges to immortality. The "first bridge" is the health regimen he describes with co-author Dr. Terry Grossman to keep people fit enough to cross the "second bridge" a biotechnological revolution.

Kurzweil writes that humanity is on the verge of controlling how genes express themselves and ultimately changing the genes. With such technology, humanity could block disease-causing genes and introduce new ones that would slow or stop the aging process.

The "third bridge" is the nanotechnology and artificial intelligence revolution, which Kurzweil predicts will deliver the nanobots that work like repaving crews in our bloodstreams and brains. These intelligent machines will destroy disease, rebuild organs and obliterate known limits on human intelligence, he believes.
