Former “Mythbusters” star Adam Savage explores the science of longevity, asking how the lifestyle of choice, stress and even sleep affects how long we have lived.
Savage, now the creator of YouTube and the manager of the channel tests, joined with the Medtronic health care technology company to involve in the discussions of longevity. Although he is not the researcher himself, he deeply dived into scientific insights of experts and thought about his own experiences.
“Longevity has always been a fascination for me,” Savage said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
“I mean, who doesn’t want to know how to live better and maybe longer? But the real question is what actually works?”

He deserves his “Mithbuster” experience with pushing his passion toward scientific research.
“Making that show has been legitimized to me the practice of science and engineering,” Savage said. “It made me realize how much our world can be tested, questioned and improved by experimenting.”
Through discussion with people on the Medtronic street, Savage revealed the key factors of lifestyle that influenced longevity. He noticed a cultural shift in what we consider old age, pointing out that people today consider themselves “young”.
Savage also pointed to blue zones, the region known for long life, but questioned whether longevity puts it there Simply from the location or cultural practices.
“We assume that people in these areas live longer because of the place they are, but what if it is really just the way they live? It’s a part that fascinates me,” he said.

“There is no magical secret. It’s a mixture of everyday habits – what you eat, how you move, how you communicate with your community, how you are stress. All these things are important.”
Savage was personally interested in testing different longevity strategies In his own life. He spoke honestly with Fox News Digital about his journey with the occasional post, which helped him lose 25 pounds and eliminate Apnea in his sleep.
“It’s crazy how much the difference made,” he said. “I didn’t just lose weight. I felt sharper, I slept better and stopped snoring. It was like switching a health switch.”
He was also thinking about his past smoking habits and what was needed to give up.
“I had to admit I didn’t smoke for enjoyment,” Savage said. “I just did it out of the habit. Once I understood it, it’s easy to stop.”

On alcohol, Savage rejected the idea of a universal approach, claiming they were in a conflict of studies. While he personally reduced, he emphasized that people should not feel guilty about their lifestyle.
“I am a great believer that I do not feel guilty about the things you do to the core, whether to smoke, whether to look at something stupid or confusing 100 hours at once,” he said. “I don’t care about anything. We all do these things to bring relaxation and regulate. I just think alcohol is a particularly bad regulator in the final analysis.”
In addition to the choice of life style, medical progress plays an increasingly critical role in the expansion of life and “health”, years in which we have lived without a serious illness. Medtronic, which focuses on globally health care technology, has developed medical devices intended for chronic conditions, improving heart health and progression of minimally invasive operations.
According to Medtronic, as people live longer, the focus moves towards the improvement of not only the life of life but also the quality of life. The last innovation of the company involves artificial intelligence-This monitoring of health care, operations supported by robots and advanced landscapes, all focused on improving long -term health outcomes. Savage also spoke about psychological aspects of aging, emphasizing that the mindset and community play a significant role in longevity.
Medtronic claims that the first person who lived up to 150 may already be born. Asked if there is an upper limit Human life, Savage replied: “I think there is currently 150 very realistic target for shooting and for discussion.

“That’s really what science prediction,” Savage added. “It’s about asking these questions and watching:” Okay, which numbers are unrealistic. “I think 40 years ago 150 would seem radically unrealistic.
