How to Live Longer Part I

by Stephen Mills July 18, 2009

I’ve got a fabulous little book 50 Simple Ways to Live a Longer Life: Everyday Techniques from the Forefront of Science, and I recommend you get it and read it. But in the meantime I know most of you won’t, so here are the first 10 simple ways to live longer. Some of the ways the book listed these don’t make sense to me so I’m making a few modifications. Other than that, I’m supplying them right out of the book and after part V, I’ll give some of my own ideas.

A Paleolithic diet of natural whole food would contain a potassium-sodium ratio of about 17 to 1. A modern American diet contains a ratio of about 1 to 1.7. Do I really need to say any more?

You wouldn’t put diesel fuel in a rocket or rocket fuel in a truck. They each were made to run on a certain kind of fuel and so are you. If you put poor quality fuel into your body, you are going to have a poor result. One result will be a lack of energy, or in any case a less than optimal amount of energy. Remember, you are essentially drugging your body every time you eat. Put in good drugs.

You need to energy to be successful. Your brain and the rest of your body run on energy. What happens in one part of you body impacts the rest of it. Mental exhaustion is really just physical exhaustion occurring in one part of your body. It saps the strength and energy from other parts. You might not think physical energy matters that much, especially if you are more intellectually oriented. But it matters and I think it matters a great deal.

Acetylcholine is important for memory and learning and is a neurotransmitter used throughout the body. It controls muscle contraction for example. Acetylcholine may be extremely important for long term memory. It determines your brain speed. If you have too little, your brain is going to slow down. The most extreme case of this is Alzheimer’s. You can think of acetylcholine as a lubricant for your brain and body. Acetylcholine along with dopamine are the neurotransmitters that turn your brain on. They allow it to work hard and fast. A lack of either one can lead to memory and attention problems.

Most people have some kind of dominate nature that centers around one of the four major neurotransmitters types. Dopamine is the thinking neurotransmitter. It creates energy and allows you to focus and concentrate. Dopamine driven natures are interested in activities related to their intellect. Chess players, crossword puzzle players, doctors, scientists, and engineers are probably mostly dopamine dominant individuals. Dopamine natures are dominated more by rational thought than by feelings and they tend to dominate others around them. Dopamine makes you alert and quick witted.
