===Health and aging===

Kurzweil admits that he cared little for his health until age 35, when he was found to suffer from a [[glucose intolerance]], an early form of [[type II diabetes]] (a major risk factor for [[heart disease]]). He then found a doctor, [[Terry Grossman]], who shared his unconventional beliefs and helped him to develop an extreme regimen involving hundreds of pills, [[Intravenous therapy|chemical intravenous]] treatments, [[Health effects of wine|red wine]], and various other methods to attempt to extend his lifespan. In 2007, Kurzweil was ingesting "250 supplements, eight to 10 glasses of [[alkaline water]] and 10 cups of [[green tea]]" every day and drinking several glasses of red wine a week in an effort to "reprogram" his biochemistry.<ref>{{cite magazine |date=February 12, 2005 |title=Never Say Die: Live Forever |url=https://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0%2C1286%2C66585%2C00.html?tw=wn_tophead_3 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070224022313/http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,66585,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_3 |archive-date=February 24, 2007 |access-date=September 15, 2014 |magazine=WIRED}}</ref> By 2008, he had reduced the number of supplement pills to 150.<ref name="CNN-2008" /> By 2015, Kurzweil further reduced his daily pill regimen to 100 pills.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/ray-kurzweils-immortality-diet-2015-4 |title=The 700-calorie breakfast you should eat if you want to live forever, according to a futurist who spends $1 million a year on pills and eating right|work=Business Insider |access-date=March 3, 2019}}</ref>
