THE AGELESS MAN

THE AGELESS MAN / Episode 13 – Loneliness: The Ultimate Aging Factor

The cause of aging is
Saccharification
• Oxidation
• Inflammation

That's what they say.

But recently

There is something stronger than that.
I am certain of it.

That's loneliness.

2014
A study presented in Vienna

Loneliness
Promotes telomere shortening

In other words

Loneliness causes rapid aging.
This has been suggested.

This is not a matter of logic
It's reality.

After retirement
People who age rapidly (especially men).

Having lost my spouse
People who decline in health, following closely behind others. (Especially men)

I
I've seen it many times.

And yesterday

I experienced it myself.

The dinner we had planned was cancelled.

The reason is the other party's convenience.

I can't help it.

But

That's not the problem.

I
I was alone.

Normally
An older neighbor invited me.

He is the same as me
I prefer eating to drinking.

After the meal

High-end Italian
Shall we go to the dessert cart?

Open until 5 AM
I'm going to a ramen shop specializing in char siu ramen.

or

Both.

They have similar body types.

He joined the gym with me, which had a membership fee of 3 million yen.

I've never been there.

In other words

We get along well.

But recently

My rejuvenation mission

Dessert and ramen
They are being considerate.

And yesterday

I had another dinner engagement.

I turned down that senior's invitation.

However...the dinner was canceled.

To someone I rejected, and a senior at that,
Conveniently

"Let's go after all."

That's not true.

And then I realize.

I've only ever worked.

The team exists.
There are stakeholders involved.

But

When your plans suddenly disappear
• Someone to talk to
• Someone to casually go out for a meal with

I can't think of anything.

...I'm lonely.

However, that day

With fucoxanthinol and NMN
My mind was sharp.

I want to do something. I want to take action.

I called Okita, my subordinate and drinking buddy.

It won't come out.

Of course.
It's Friday.

He's a young man.

I'm your boss; let's not make such inappropriate invitations.

and
I opened YouTube for no particular reason.

It was hell.

K-POP
Mitoma's dribbling
A perfect copy of guitar master EVH
Urban legend
Subterranean people
aliens

An endless loop.
It feels good. I can't get out of it.
depravity, debauchery, escape

Personality and creativity blend together.

Spiritual video on the Law of Attraction
This creates an opportunity to break out of the loop.

"Gratitude attracts success."

You're lying.

A salaryman in his 30s who bought a Porsche said:

I was able to buy a Porsche through gratitude and the law of attraction.

Ridiculous!!

I told them!
That's not the law of attraction.

This is a credit assessment by a credit company.

Before I knew it
Two hours had passed.

I came back to my senses.

I have to do something...
But I have nothing to do.

Go outside.

Is it going to rain?

I don't carry an umbrella.

Drizzle.
Continue walking.

I went into a convenience store.


Shaving
nuts

and

snack foods
chocolate
Convenience store sweets

"Just a little"

I leave with two bags.

The rain is getting heavier.

I'm going home soaked.
It makes me feel a little sentimental.

house.

Turn on the TV.
...Netflix

A movie about a female assassin duo.

I don't care.
An entertainment film that offers neither learning nor inspiration.

But I end up looking.

and
notice.

I
To the mob characters who are killed
I'm empathizing with them.

A sloppy man.
A man begging for his life.
A man who receives no sympathy from anyone.

That
I saw it myself.

Loneliness.
rain.
A dark room.
The death throes of a background character

My hand reaches for a snack.

One bite. Two bites.

It won't stop.

By the time I realized it
• 1 bag of snacks
• Finished eating all the chocolate snacks
• Finished eating all the nuts

Too much salt.
Too much sugar.
All the effort was wasted.
Manjaro was defeated by loneliness.

Feelings
worst.

think.

Lonely old people
Like this

Are you going to fast-forward through your life and bring it to an end?

At the moment midnight struck
The phone rings.

He's my senior.

"What are you doing? Shall we go get some char siu ramen?"

"Haha, sorry. I'm full."

After hanging up the phone

Tears welled up.
It's okay to be fat, as long as you have friends.

Loneliness is not a bad thing.
Solitude helps people grow.

Some people say that.
Words of wisdom
These are the words of a successful person.

But

For someone like me

It's a deadly poison.

AGELESS NOTE

Loneliness may be a "disease"

Loneliness is not a psychological state.

  • Inflammatory response
  • Elevated cortisol levels
  • Telomere shortening

etc.
It causes biological changes.

In other words

Loneliness
A condition similar to a “disease” that accelerates aging

It is also possible to consider this.

AGELESS MAN,
Kevin Costner and Al Pacino
Both are correct, right?

To stop aging

Even in exercise
Even during meals
Even medicine isn't enough.

What is needed

Establishing your own identity

Shinji Yamanouchi

AGELESS Editor-in-Chief / 5Star Medical Club CEO

Age is just a number. It's not a limit. Medicine is moving beyond simply curing diseases. The next challenge for humanity is the end of aging itself. Infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer. Humanity has fought against "causes of death" until now. But from now on, it will be an era of challenging the "root cause that produces causes of death." That is aging. A future where organs are created from iPS cells, a future where consciousness is transferred to another body. These will eventually become reality. But I am betting not on a dream 50 years from now, but on a revolution that can be started this very moment. Aging is not time. It is the "order to age" that cells receive. If we can block that order—aging will not be fate, but a choice. I call this idea Biohacking. "All living things must grow old"—that's not science. It's a misconception. In nature, there are organisms that do not age. There are organisms that actually exist that begin to rejuvenate at a certain age and continue to live by repeating aging and regeneration. There is no reason why humanity should be the exception. Human evolution no longer occurs in terms of tens of thousands of years; it occurs in terms of half-century intervals. We have already expanded our physical capabilities. We operate cars as if they were extensions of our own bodies, use AI, and integrate with technology. So now it is time to upgrade biology itself. I conceived the AGELESS program for those who reject the common program of aging, and established the "5 Star Medical Club," which provides information on advanced medical treatments and member support based on requests from affiliated medical institutions. The 5 Star Medical Club is not a medical institution itself, but a membership club that, at the request of each affiliated clinic, provides health management support for members, coordinates medical appointments, and offers accompanying support by medical case workers. The final decision regarding medical treatment and diagnosis is the responsibility of each medical institution. In the AGELESS web magazine, I will be sharing cutting-edge academia, innovative medicine, and my own process of rebelling against aging as an AGELESS MAN. This is not science fiction. This is not the future. The revolution has already begun.
