Q.What do you think about living a long life? A.Whether you want to live a long time depends on the person, but I want to live a long life, so I am pursuing research as part of that effort.

Hello. This is Inishie Destiny from Seito Medical School. I would like to talk about the topic "What do you think about living a very long life?"

 I think it takes a long time of hard work to live a very long life. Even if the oldest person alive today were to reach 120 years old, I don't think they would reach that age. You can find out the current oldest person by looking in the Guinness Book of World Records, but I think people today would die of old age by the time they reach 120 years old. 

Perhaps the organs in the body would rot, which would be fatal. I think that as we get older, we get wrinkles, we shrink, and various other "causes of death" occur. Even if aging is caused by oxidation or glycation, we would not believe that we could extend our lifespan by being that careful.

If oxidation and glycation are suppressed, cells will be activated and people will live longer, but that is just one aspect of it. Recently, when I read online news, I often see news that says that wild animals do not age.

This means that wild birds and butterflies do not live long enough to live out their lifespan, and of course, if you look at pet dogs and cats, the slow aging decline that occurs with long-term captivity is common. 

It's not that wild animals don't age, but rather that wild dogs and cats cannot live for 15 or 20 years, and therefore cannot live long enough for their internal organs to rot. In the first place, even a minor illness or tooth decay can be a life-or-death blow to wild animals.

We humans, dogs, and cats can see a doctor and receive appropriate medicine and surgery, so we rarely die from minor illnesses. The difference between wild animals and humans is probably whether they live in a protected environment or not.

This alone is the difference between many wild animals who die within a year and humans who can live up to nearly 120 years. Following this logic, if humans want to live to be 200, 300 or even 500 years old, they need something other than a protected environment.

It could be a therapeutic environment that cures any disease, or a special way of taking in nutrients, or a method of maintaining bones and muscles. I believe that for human aging, antioxidants such as vitamin C and a special way of taking in carbohydrates, which are sugars, are important at the skin and cellular levels.

Of course, if we think about the fact that we get shorter as we age, that is, our bones get shorter, we worry about calcium deficiency. Or, there may be more advanced reasons why people get shorter. 

Even if we could live a long life, if we were bedridden or looked horrible, we might not choose to continue living. If we could live a long life but not have any romantic relationships, we might wonder if we really need to live a long life.

I think it's not bad to live a long life if you have hobbies and things to enjoy other than love. However, if your life is too long, you may get bored of something, such as being bored with being alive. When it comes to getting nutrients, I think a baby's diet can provide a hint.

As the name suggests, babies grow by drinking milk if they are mammals. At least we humans can survive on milk alone when we are babies. Milk is said to be a complete nutritional food, and it contains a wide variety of nutrients.

For example, the carton of milk I am holding in my hand right now contains the following information (per 200ml glass): energy 140kcal, carbohydrates 9.5g, protein 6.8g, salt equivalent 0.2g, fat 8.3g, and calcium 230mg.

At the very least, we can say that we need this amount of nutrients to survive. An interesting thing to do would be to look at the daily nutrient requirements of an adult and find out how many ml of milk you would need to drink to survive on milk alone.

Is it possible for an adult to live on milk alone? It sounds like an interesting endeavor. 

So I've been writing about this for a long time, but when it comes to living a long life, I think if a person wants to live a long life, they should make an effort to do so. Try various things, come up with your own theory, and put it into practice.

The outcome is whether or not we can exceed our maximum lifespan, but whether or not we can find value in it. I would like to establish my own anti-aging theory based on the ideas I have written so far. I would like to disclose the results of my research on this blog. 

It's almost 7am and time for everyone to wake up. I'm a night owl and I work late at night, so it might be interesting to think about whether being a morning person or a night owl will help me live longer. 

That's it for Hotaru no Hikari. My blog may contain a lot of information, but I think there is still a lot of space to fill in between the lines. My sentences are too concise, so I think it would be fine to make them a bit more verbose.

The New Year is over and a new year is beginning, but I hope you will continue to support us.
