Longevity (Volume II)
“Longevity” and nutrition are what I’m about (medically. haha)
(“longevity” will happen after the “Boring stuff”)
Boring stuff…
Longevity and nutrition (aka. Whole Food Plant-Based eating) — It’s even in my blog/richardmin.com title!
“Stroke and Aphasia Survivor which led me to Whole Foods Plant-Based Eating Habits to solve (medical) problems. I choose to be Vegan and it’s Lifestyles”
and it’s even in my “About Richard Min” page, too.
WFPB* nutrition is the optimal choice for human’s food and to live longer (supported by clinical and population studies), and a vegan diet is the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet earth every day (backed by climate and agriculture research).
*WFPB = Whole Food Plant-Based eating
- My WFPB (SOS^ free) is what I’m betting on in terms of my health to get over this disabilities I have. Oh yeah, and mother passed away due to her health (which I can assume, no matter how small the chance) is curable if we only had WFPB nutrition, AND I want absolutely the health of the children. I want to have in future. WFPB eating for my children and children’s children’s, etc. for them to be free of chronic diseases… and of course, WFPB food is delicious, as well. 😊😉
^SOS = Sugar Oil Salt - Environment is what I want, and I will lead the future generations about nature, and the earth. Remember, I’m a avid birder and I grew up with wild nature I was a kid.
- Morals is why I’m a vegan. Animal cruelty is HORRIBLE (see Pignorant, Cowpicary, and Dominion documentaries, etc..
Advisory Note: It’s got gruesome animal cruelty right on your plate. But it’s need to watch it for the omnivores eating habit.), and the vegan lifestyle is how I’m leading my life in the future. And I love it! (The values, not the animal agriculture and cruelty aspect of it all.) - I can’t stand that, and I want help with my VCs (venture capital) and projects, and I hope EXTREME TAXES for the animal agriculture and animal activism in the future.
*Whole Food Plant-Based (eating patterns) = WFPB
^SOS = Sugar Oil Salt
So, he is my thing about Longevity that I always tell people who want to here it.
(I did expand on it, too! Here: Longevity Part I)

3. Blue Zones
The term ‘Blue Zone’ describes regions of the world where people live longer than average and maintain good health, and where there are particularly high numbers of centenarians (that is people who reach 100 year old and still climbing!). These include a predominantly PLANT-BASED DIETS with high consumption of vegetables and fruits.

“The only diet that really works – totalistically and completely – across different age groups, across different societies, for the most number of years is an eating on the whole food plant-based diet. Period.”
- Dr. T. Colin Campbell, PhD. Alumni of Cornell University. He teaches nutrition at Cornell. He still does eCornell on plant-based nutrition. Author of “The China Study”)<< he is someone (among others I trust as well) I trust in terms of nutrition.
4. Long lived animals/fishes and human being…
For example:
– Greenland Shark: 512 years old (and still going)
– the clam named “Ming” : 507 (it’s life was cut short by a marine biologist)
– Adwaita-Aldabra giant tortoise – 255 years old (longest living land animal)
– Jonathan Tortoise : 188 years old
– Bowhead Whale : 150 years old
– Human: Jeanne Calment: 122 years and 164 days
Haman beings…. 150 years? 300+ year young? You never know, right? Heehee

He is one of the unicorn in Silicon Valley and he worked directly under Steve Jobs! He was a M.S. from Stanford University, and he is living in Silicon Valley. Co-founder/CEO of Fatbrain.com. Zero to $100 million and public on the Nasdaq in 4 years. Acquired by Barnes & Noble.

6. Bryan Johnson
He sold Braintree, a payments provider, to PayPal for $800 million!!!! o_o;; He lived in Silicon Valley.
“Don’t Die” initiative.
Life span:
I think I would be happy with 300+ years old (for now, I will be happy for 150+ years old to the public.)
So, I think it’s possible, 🤔 especially with my healthy WFPB* eating!
That includes, sleep, exercise, and when to eat (WFPB eating, of course😅), career/meditation/fasting/fun.😁
Enjoy your time, Have fun and do your best!
(aka.; If you want, I’ll explain the evidence-backed explanations and science-reason later. It involves big data science, statistics, Blue Zones, and anecdotes, etc., to bare.)
And…
Live HEALTHY life, (and)
Love Life (and)
Live Well
And…
How to live in a place of purpose and passion! I’m driven to give that to other people and animals and earth every day.
(I want to start a charity one day around animal shelter or buying land and converting to nature, and donating vegan doctors, etc.)
*WFPB = Whole Food Plant-Based
* Vegan = Animal cruelty / animal rights
** Eating = Diet. I’m going with “eating/eat”, not “diet” because there are too much trends, diet fads, etc.
Quality of life:
– Healthy life… for as long as possible (see above). Haha! And further, REVERSING various diseases by doctors should anything come up.
“Meaning of living” ? That gets into philosophy debates. But….
Generally speaking…
– human beings will live as happy as the life allows.
– Wild animals (birds, frogs, bears, lions, etc.) and pets will live as as happy or existing as the life allows.
– And earth will live until the end of the days, roughly, 7.5 billion years.
I hope, that space will take over human beings (or whatever we turn out to be) and we will become interplanetary. AND…
I have been fabulously wealthy and sh!t out-of-luck poor, what matters is immediate family and family, close friends and colleagues and animal companions (aka. pets) and the earth we share this planet on.
