1. Embrace technology

We already enhance our immune systems with vaccinations, so prepare yourself for the enhancements that are in the pipeline. Many in Silicon Valley are working hard at a "solution" to death. Like Aubrey de Grey of the SENS foundation who is researching cures to the diseases of aging. He says the first person who will live to 1000 has already been born. Or Dmitry Itskov, the founder of the 2045 Initiative, who is working with a network of scientists to achieve immortality. He plans to upload people’s minds to computers, and suggests that by 2045 he’ll give us all the opportunity to live for as long as we like. Life as an upload would be interesting – you could make back-up copies of yourself, and transmit yourself as information at the speed of light.

2. Work at it

If you need inspiration, check out Trygve Bauge. He plans to live as long as possible, with a regime taking in the restorative power of ice: "A day spent ice bathing and in the sauna is a day when you don’t age." He has dramatically changed his diet and lifestyle, and has an interest in his local network of nuclear bunkers... just in case!
