Of course, Agus thinks statins in many cases do more good than harm and, anyway, are just one tool in his arsenal. The nice thing about his approach is that nothing requires a superhuman effort — a lot of it is just commonsense, healthy living.
当然,阿古斯还是认为他汀类药物在许多情况下利大于弊。除此之外,他还有许多别的养生办法,这些办法好在并不需要我们做出什么超人的努力。阿古斯的许多养生之道都是常识性的,也就是培养健康的生活方式。
Agus also believes we need new tools to really understand our bodies. He suggests that each of us get genetically profiled. This won't tell us whether we'll contract a certain disease but will tell us the probability of getting it, allowing us to make the proper adjustments. A few years ago he co-founded Navigenics, a company that does genetic screening at $400 a pop and is backed by venture capitalist John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins, an early investor in Google (GOOG). When Agus had his own DNA profiled — the results are in the book for all to see — he found he was at risk of having a heart attack. This was strange because his cholesterol had always been low. Nonetheless, it was enough to persuade him to go on a healthier diet and start taking statins.
阿古斯也相信,我们还需要一些新的工具才能真正了解我们的身体。他建议我们每个人都应进行基因成像。基因图像并不会告诉我们是否会染上某种疾病,但会告诉我们染上这种病的几率有多大,从而帮助我们做出正确的判断。几年前,他与别人合作创办了一家名叫Navigenics(意为“基因导航”——译注)的公司,专门提供基因检测服务,每次收费400美元。这家公司得到了凯鹏华盈投资公司(Kleiner Perkins)风投家约翰·杜尔的资助,他是谷歌的早期投资人之一。阿古斯也给自己的DNA画了像,还把结果展示在书里公之于众——他发现自己存在罹患心脏病的风险。这有点奇怪,因为他的胆固醇水平一直很低。尽管如此,他还是开始摄入更健康的饮食,并开始服用他汀类药物。
