Bryan Johnson (Best self-care points to consider) - BoxPressured - 07-06-2026
While browsing brainrot, I came across this short that pretty much nails self-care that should be a standard:

Our well being depends on how you treat yourself, to be physically capable and mentally alert and aware of yourself and your goals.
Establishing basic self-care is the foundation to being your best self to take on your goals.
It's as if you're 2 people, the worker and the manager in your life. When you work on yourself, you will also realise that it makes you happy to see yourself making effort in good direction.
Although it requires discipline and saying "no" to your bad habits, the payoff is immeasurable when you realise how much you can do without waiting for motivation.
When you're growing up, for some reason we're not taught how to grow up, it's expected either to be responsibility of our parents, and parents expect it to be done by educational facilities. Neither end up making any effort.
At some point, you begin to realise that there's a way to get few things on track, but you will have most of the cogs in your machine missing. You will end up discovering yourself into your 30s and realising how much of everyday life is a scam that doesn't benefit you and you can't expect it to just work in your favour.

Talking about Bryan Johnson, he's 48 years old, that at the first signt might look in his 30s.
He's been maticulously looking after every signal his body gives him of any deficiencies or harm caused. Physically he's probably in better condition than any other 48 year old. Unfortunately he has developed autoimmune disease that causes his stomach to pretty much eat itself. For some reason this puts a thought in my mind that it's caused by the daily handful of vitamins that he maticulously planned to assist with his neverending aim to be younger.
Our bodies still learn and try to adapt for the future. That information is even passed on if you have kids. Our DNA is created from somatic cells, which are pretty much the answer to longevity, because they're like a candle that can only burn shorter, but provide the fuel to keep the fire going.
It's best to avoid damaging your organs, and to avoid stress, but we're built to manage some of the deficiencies, it even helps to clear your mind when you stop consumption e.g. sugars.
Nevertheless it's not an experiment of longevity, but I think he is a walking science lab that has many new answers and contributions to undestanding human abilities to recover, and various long term rituals to keep or avoid. He didn't seem to publish his results as public experiment, has following of 3m, but some may find interesting what actually goes on around our health.
