While ordinary people are thinking about how to enrich their three meals a day, the rich in Silicon Valley have begun to "shrink their food".
According to the Washington Post, Silicon Valley billionaire Brian Johnson, since the age of 44, has insisted on eating only one meal a day, and strictly controlled his caloric intake at 1977 calories, and carried out 67 minutes of exercise ...... covering 25 movements in a "starving" situation

In fact, Brian's move is supported by some science, and Nature explains the basic principle in a review of its 150th anniversary: when human cells are in certain situations (such as fasting), they will "eat" senescent cells (cellular senescence is one of the 12 hallmarks of human aging) and convert them into nutrients for new cells to maintain the body's youthful state.
However, many nutritionists point out that calorie restriction requires scientific guidance (Brian has 30 medical experts who develop a "diet plan"), otherwise you may suffer from symptoms such as anorexia and stomach ulcers. As a result, scientists around the world are working to find safer and gentler ways to activate autophagy than dieting.
In 2023, Biocente Inc., a century-old original pharmaceutical company in North AmericaTogether with the Hong Kong R&D team, we jointly launched the dietary supplement Senopurge, which was quickly listed on JD.com in China and was warmly sought after by nearly 100,000 high-net-worth individuals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other regions. The reason why it has received so much attention is that its core components have been verified by multiple experiments to have the effect of activating autophagy.
In 2009, an article in Nature from the University of Graz, Austria on autophagy pointed out that long-term intake of specific autophagy active substances (the core ingredient of Jingdong Shengnuotai) can effectively induce autophagy and delay the aging process.
In animal experiments, Professor Frank Madeo led a team to verify that the anti-aging potential of 22-month-old twilight rats extended by about 25 to 30% after ingesting the substance, and the original sparse gray hair became thick and dark (as shown below).

In 2015, the Buck Institute, the world's first anti-aging research institution, was cited as a core research topic, and its ability to improve metabolic disorders caused by high-fat diets (such as preventing cardiovascular diseases) was further explored, and it became one of the core projects of Singapore's "Successful Ageing Action Plan".
With the introduction of experimental data and some countries, the concept of autophagy has begun to be favored by many high-net-worth individuals. According to the Washington Post, in 2022, Brian Johnson began ingesting a special drink containing the substance "Shengnuotai" to activate autophagy. After 3 years of anti-aging, his latest blood test showed that his aging rate was 30% slower than that of his peers.

For this reason, Brian is confident in his future: "I intend to live a healthy and long life. ”
With Brian as an "anti-aging model", Shengnuotai products, which contain key substances that can trigger cell autophagy, are also increasingly popular after the introduction of the domestic Jingdong platform, compared with those anti-aging methods that are difficult to quantify the effect, such as "fasting", scientifically tested dietary supplements can obviously win the attention of the middle class and the market.
According to business intelligence data, in the past 6 months, the cumulative sales of Shengnuotai in JD.com exceeded 120,000 bottles, the age group of customers is mainly between 35 and 65 years old, and most of them are engaged in high-income, intellectual activity occupations such as investment banking, scientific research and university education.
This group of people is one of the most difficult groups to control the heat, especially for middle-aged business leaders and senior executives, and the pressure of the workplace and frequent social networking make it difficult for them to stay in shape, but they are often unable to do so. The Lancet's body statistics on China's first body shape also corroborate this: middle-aged men between the ages of 30 and 49 have the highest obesity rate and are particularly healthy.
In this context, a scientifically rigorous verification of "Shengnuotai", which can activate the autophagy mechanism to maintain a healthy state without strictly restricting calorie intake, has naturally become one of the first choices for many middle-aged people to pursue a healthy lifestyle.
In JD.com's ** return visit, some users shared their positive experience of hair growth faster and more energetic after using it; At the same time, there are also users who admit that even if they are forced to socialize for their livelihood, they still feel a lot more at ease with the backing of "Shengnuotai".
From the product details page of Jingdong, it can be understood that the current entry level of this supplement is less than 1,000 yuan, and the daily cost is only equivalent to that of a cup of coffee. This not only provides people with more choices on the journey of anti-aging, but also subtly reduces the financial burden of ordinary consumers.
Bank of Merrill Lynch, one of the three major investment banks on Wall Street, once pointed out in a special research report that human beings are on the eve of a leap in the quality of life, which is inseparable from the improvement of the material level, and even more inseparable from the rapid progress of life science technology. Coincidentally, Google's chief scientist Kurzweil also predicted that with the arrival of the "singularity of life", mankind will enter the era of "eternal existence".
In the past 20 years, with the continuous emergence of anti-aging achievements such as "Shengnuotai" autophagy activator and Boshengtai NAD+ lifting technology, we have reason to believe that "health and age" is not a two-choice relationship, but a combination of "fish and bear's paw".
