The secrets to living a long life have long been a source of discussion in the scientific community, but imagine if making it to 100 wasn\u2019t just luck of the draw.<\/p>\n
According to Liviu Babitz, co-founder of CyborgNest<\/a>, a tech company that designs sensory enhancement devices that look like pared-down Fitbits, we\u2019re on the cusp of the next scientific frontier. Through rapid advances in technology, he believes that future generations of superhuman centenarians may be able to enjoy old age without the looming spectre of disease or sensory decline.<\/p>\n Every morning, the entrepreneur starts his day with an outdoor ice bath in the garden of his London home, before sitting down to take a carefully planned selection of nootropics<\/a> and other supplements, designed to improve productivity and fight brain degeneration.<\/p>\n Until recently, he also had an electronic implant called the \u2018North Sense\u2019 inserted under the skin on his chest. The device, which is made of titanium, gently vibrates every time Babitz faces north, helping him to develop an innate sense of direction without relying on maps or a smartphone.<\/p>\n Liviu is part of a growing movement of people that call themselves biohackers; people who consciously ‘hack’ their bodies and minds to make them function better.<\/p>\n
