I think Natto man has been evicted from the group about a week ago
I agree .....macro doesnt make us immortal
It extends our lifespan & slows down the aging process of our bodily organs.
We still have to go through the same decline and illnesses that old people go through but hopefully much less than if we ate a normal diet & hopefully in our 70s rather than our 60s or 50s.
Ive seen books promising we can live till 100.......... be cured of any illness in 10 days........I think this is what bothers people cause if the experts cant do it , then a mistrust forms........
So these problems are easily avoided if we avoid making guaruntees & extreme statements in books.
The human body according to Buddhism is a machine doomed to failure & demise.........we just have to live as comfortably as we can ........according to Buddhism the ultimate goal is not to attain optimum human health & human success. It is to solve the problem of human rebirth as the human body causes many problems & is not the best rebirth.....
