You want to shock the body and not be constant. Intermittent fasting is an increasingly popular way: Skip breakfast, for example. Also lifting weights, losing your breath from exercise and alternating between hot and cold temperatures. We think these measures will only get us to 100 to 122 years old. That’s our natural lifespan. David Andrew Sinclair Read Quote
We can change our lives for the better, and always have. We used to think pain during surgery and dying during childbirth were inevitable. We no longer accept that, and we shouldn’t just accept aging. David Andrew Sinclair Read Quote
I’m driven to get to goals as fast as possible. It frustrates people in my lab who have something they think is cool, but if it doesn’t move us forward, I don’t want to do it. David Andrew Sinclair Read Quote
Resveratrol had a decent benefit when the mice were obese and sedentary. The mice that were fed a lean diet and resveratrol lived significantly longer than other treated mice as well as those that had no healthy diet and no resveratrol. So resveratrol is not an excuse to be lazy or eat whatever you want. David Andrew Sinclair Read Quote
I tried calorie restriction and couldn’t do it. It’s really hard to be hungry all the time. David Andrew Sinclair Read Quote
Resveratrol does not act primarily as an antioxidant. It is far more interesting and powerful than that. Resveratrol turns on our body’s genetic defenses against diseases and aging itself. David Andrew Sinclair Read Quote
When I started in the field, aging research was the backwater of biology. The idea that you could find a molecule that would prevent many diseases at once was considered impossible. David Andrew Sinclair Read Quote
