Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🥩 What to chew on:

I reviewed a pilot study that showed chewing gum may be a major source of microplastics.

A single piece of gum can release 3,000+ particles into your saliva.

Both natural and synthetic gums were shown to release similar amounts of plastic particles.

Your mouth is meant to chew food, not plastic.

👴 How well are you aging:

Last week, I mentioned a simple trick to test your biologic age.

This week, we have a 30-second test to reveal how well you're aging.

I think the most important thing to consider as a macro-principle of longevity is that the longer you can preserve muscle mass, the better.” 

 

– Dr. Peter Attia

☕ What's the perfect cup:

This is the perfect cup of coffee, according to science.

I disagree though. Sprinkle some of this in [chocolate]...then you have it!

P.S.

Here's an interactive history of coffee.

💡How to live longer:

According to James Clear, there are two ways to live longer:

#1: Biologically 

Extend the timeline between your birth and your death.

#2: Psychologically 

Fit more lives into whatever time you are given.

For #1: you can eat healthily, exercise, sleep well, get outside, develop deep relationships and live with purpose.

For #2: you can make each year rich with experiences and live the equivalent of many "lives" in one.

And, there is a 3rd way to de-age.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

The Art of Living

– Carl Jung, on The Art of Living

👵 What age to take social security:

Most people take social security at age 62. Why?

1. They want to get it while they can.
2. They worry the benefit program ends.
3. They need it.

But, if you're following our longevity protocols :) that might not be such a good idea—in that case, the best age to take social security is a bit later...

🪥 Who shouldn't work together:

Some companies shouldn't partner. Like KFC and a toothpaste-maker. Alas. They released a fried-chicken-flavored toothpaste.

Before you whip your wallet out, they're all sold out! 😂

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
