大卫·默多克
David Murdock does not count on living forever, but he does plan to live to at least age 125. To make it happen, the 89-year-old billionaire follows a strict regimen of exercise and a diet of vegetables and fish, and he's invested much of his cash into longevity research. Murdock made his fortune in the 1980s after taking over the nearly bankrupt Hawaiian owner of Dole Food Co.(DOLE, Fortune 500) He has since spent millions of dollars in recent years on scientific research on food science and nutrition, including how eating certain plants keep your alive longer. He started the California Health and Longevity Institute, which is a spa retreat that gives nutritional education, fitness training, lifestyle consultations, advanced diagnostic technology, personalized care, and medical screenings to enhance longevity. Another project, Duke University's MURDOCK Study aims to understand the genetics of diseases and cures.
大卫·默多克并不指望长生不老，但是他确实计划活到125岁。为了实现这个目标，这位89岁高龄的亿万富豪严格遵循日常锻炼的养生方式和蔬菜鱼肉的饮食标准，还投入了大量的个人资金用于长寿研究。默多克在20世纪80年代发家致富，此前他收购了濒临破产的夏威夷地产公司，这家公司拥有都乐食品公司（Dole Food Co.，财富500强企业）的股权。近年来，他投资数千万美元进行食品科学与影响的研究，包括如何食用延年益寿的特殊植物。他创办了加利福尼亚健康与长寿研究所（California Health and Longevity Institute）。这个水疗度假中心提供营养教育、体能训练、生活方式咨询、先进诊断技术、个性化护理、医疗普查等服务来延长寿命。另一个计划是杜克大学（Duke University）的默多克研究项目，旨在了解疾病基因及其治疗方法。
