THIS is What You Should Eat for Breakfast If You Want To Live Forever

​Okay, so you might not want to live ​forever​, because that might get a bit tiresome. But what should we be eating for breakfast if we want a long lasting, healthy life?

Well, a shitload of stuff, if you're listening to this guy. Ray Kurzweil is an American scientist and futurist, ​and he's pretty bloody convinced that in a matter of years humans will be doing silly things like living forever.

Seriously, back in 2009 in one of his books, he wrote: "I and many other scientists now believe that in around 20 years we will have the means to reprogramme our bodies' stone-age software so we can halt, then reverse, ageing. Then nanotechnology will let us live for ever.​"

But we're going to need to look after these bodies of ours if that's going to happen. Just like Ray does. So how do we get the day off to a good start? A big, fuck-off breakfast, by the sounds of it.

Ray, who despite being aged 67, insists he has the "biological age" of a late forty-something, likes to rack up the calories first thing in the morning. Here's what he eats ​every single day​: 

Berries, dark chocolate infused with espresso, smoked salmon and mackerel, vanilla soy milk, stevia (a sugar substitute​), porridge and green tea.

God, you'd think you'd be full after the chocolate coffee. According to ​Business Insider​, Ray's breakfast diet is around 700 calories, more than a third of a woman's recommended daily intake. Which, actually, if you think about that fact that you're supposed to eat three meals a day, makes perfect sense. 

So there you have it; that's what you'd have to eat if you wanted to live forever. You'd probably have to invest in some hefty scientific research and maybe also a time machine while you're at it, but we're not going to argue with the scientist.
